• You should always maintain fully updated anti-virus protection on your computer.
You understand that to use Online Banking Services online via a personal computer, you must first obtain
access to the internet with compatible hardware, software, and web browser. Obtaining and maintaining
adequate internet access is your responsibility, and you are solely responsible for all costs of doing so.
We are not responsible for any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with your use
of the internet in general or your use of our Online Banking Service. Prior to enrolling in the Online
Banking Service and agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, you should verify that you have the
required hardware and software necessary to access the Online Banking Service and to retain a copy of
this Agreement.
If we revise hardware and software requirements, and if there is a material change that impacts your
ability to access the Online Banking Service, we will give you advance notice of these changes, and
provide you an opportunity to cancel the Service and/or change your method of receiving electronic
disclosures (e.g., change to paper format vs. an electronic format) without the imposition of any fees.
5. Electronic Disclosures
We may deliver amendments to this Agreement and other disclosures to you in an electronic format.
Other disclosures may include:
The equipment necessary for accessing these types of disclosures electronically is described within this
Agreement.
YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND OTHER ONLINE BANKING RELATED
DISCLOSURES IN AN ELECTRONIC FORMAT. YOU ALSO AGREE AND REPRESENT THAT YOU
HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT FOR ACCESSING THE ONLINE BANKING SERVICE AND FOR
VIEWING ELECTRONIC DISCLOSURES.
If you consent to receive electronic disclosures and later change your mind, you may withdraw your
consent and change to paper delivery format. You can notify us of your intent to cancel electronic
disclosures by:
• Opting out of electronic only statements on the statements page within the Service,
• Sending us a message via the Contact Us option within the Online Banking Service or
• Calling us at (855)365-RELY.
If you send us a message through the Online Banking Service, please be sure to identify yourself and the
applicable accounts.
After your opt-out request is processed, you will begin receiving paper copies of account statements and
additional charges may apply.
If you enroll for e-statements and then later close your accounts with Relyance Bank, your access to the
Online Banking Service will also be terminated. You may request paper copies of historical statements by
contacting us. A fee may apply.
You should print or save a copy of all disclosures delivered electronically. Online banking customers may
request paper copies of disclosures such as this Online Banking Agreement free of charge.
Bill Payment services are optional. You can request Bill Payment privileges in the online enrollment
process and/or you can add Bill Payment services at a later time by contacting our E-Banking Department
or sending us a secure message through the Service. Bill Payment customers also have access to
electronic Bill Presentment or Bill Delivery.
We may add or remove certain features and/or functionality available from time to time. You can use the
Service seven days a week, 24 hours a day, although some or all features may not be available
occasionally due to emergencies or scheduled system maintenance. In addition, access to the Service
may be slower at times due to high internet traffic or other factors beyond our control.
*Loan payments funded by a checking or savings account at Relyance Bank may take place until 6pm
(CT) on a normal business day to be credited to the loan on the same business day. Loan payments
funded by a checking or savings account at another financial institution have a same day posting cut-off
time of 2pm (CT). Loan payments submitted by selecting the “Set up repeating payments” option with a
same day start on date may not process until the following business day.
Features
The stop payment service is only for stopping payment on checks that you have written. The stop
payment feature within the Service CANNOT be used to cancel transfers or Bill Payment items.
This feature is accessible in the "Account Services" menu of the Online Banking Service and provides a
means to securely enter your stop payment requests. A stop payment order is effective for only six
months but may be renewed by you in writing.
Stop payment requests received through the Service will generally be processed upon submission, based
on the information that you provide through this website. To be effective, you must initiate the stop
payment order before the item is presented to us. You must include the correct amount of the item, the
correct check number, the correct account number, and the reason for the stop payment request. If you
do not provide the correct information, we may not be able to enforce the stop payment order. The
Institution will not be responsible, if you do not describe the check accurately. Other limitations on our
obligation to stop payment are provided by law (for example: if we paid the item in cash or we certified the
item prior to processing your stop payment order).
There is typically a stop payment fee associated with this feature. Please refer to our fee schedule for
additional information or contact us at (855)365-RELY.
When the stop payment request is submitted, a confirmation page is presented. You should print a copy
of the confirmation page for your records.
Additional features within the Service include check reorders, contact information changes, and secure e-
mail. The sending of messages through Contact Us, will generate a secure email to the Financial
Institution. Generally, requests received through the Service's secure e-mail feature will be processed
within one (1) Business Day. For urgent requests, we recommend that you contact our E-Banking
Department at (855)365-RELY.
In addition to services found in Settings or Support, you can request Bill Payment services and customize
account preferences. There may be additional fees associated with some of these services. Fees will be
disclosed in our fee schedule and/or at the time of your request.
8. Fees
There is no service charge for accessing your account (view balances and account transfers) with our
Online Banking Service. Please refer to your account agreement for a comprehensive list of common
fees associated with transfers and transactions.
You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated
Billing Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial
fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. Any applicable fees will be
charged, regardless of whether the Service was used during the billing cycle.
You are responsible for any and all fees assessed by your Internet Service Provider, telephone, or mobile
device carrier.
9. Enrollment Process
You must complete the enrollment process to use the Service. You can enroll for the Service on the
internet. The internet enrollment process involves completing a secure online application that we will use
to verify your identity. You will also choose your User ID and Password during the enrollment process.
When you enroll for the Service, you agree to provide true and accurate enrollment information. Our E-
Banking Department will verify the information you submit for accuracy and proper authorizations.
When you first enroll for the Online Banking Service, we will link all of your designated Eligible Accounts
to one User ID. If you want to limit the accounts linked, please make adjustments within the Accounts
section.
If the Eligible Accounts added to the Service are jointly held or otherwise have multiple signers, you agree
that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your User ID and Password are
authorized unless we have been notified to cancel the Service. If joint account holders use separate User
IDs, the activity may be identified separately.
When any online transfer or other Payment Instruction is initiated through the Online Banking Service for
your benefit, you agree that we may debit the designated Eligible Accounts without requiring your
signature on the item and without any notice to you.
Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance
reflected in the Service may differ from your records due to deposits in progress, checks outstanding, or
other withdrawals, payments, or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability
because of the time required to process the request. An internal (Relyance Bank account to Relyance
Bank account) transfer request must be made before the Business Day Cut-off time (6pm Central
Time) to be effective the same Business Day.
The balances within the Service are updated periodically and the Service will display the most current "as
of" date on the “Important Account Balances” info panel available on the "Welcome" page. There may be
situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The Service will use the most current balance
available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for account transfers.
You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system AND the information has been
processed and/or transmitted to us through the Service; however, you can edit or change a transfer that
is still "pending".
You may use the Service to check the balance of your Eligible Account(s) and to transfer funds among
your Eligible Accounts at this Financial Institution. You must have sufficient funds in your account to cover
the amount of any online transfers and Bill Payments on the Scheduled Payment Date set for the
transaction, or the transaction may not be processed. NSF and/or overdraft charges may be incurred, if
Bill Payments exceed your account balance.
This financial institution currently limits the Bill Payment Service to only checking accounts, including
money market accounts. Please refer to your original account agreement for excessive activity fees that
may apply.
Bill Pay transactions may not exceed $5,000 per day, per user. One-time exceptions to this limit may be
considered at the discretion of this Financial Institution.
The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days
from the current date) will be designated within the Service when you are scheduling the Bill Payment.
Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest
possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller.
When scheduling Bill Payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the
actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If
the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at
least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any
late date or grace period.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting
payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your
account. Except as expressly stated otherwise within this Agreement, this Financial Institution and/or its
Service Providers will bear the responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a
Bill Payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the
guidelines described under "Bill Payment Scheduling” in this Agreement.
By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct
payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions received through the Service. In order to
process payments more efficiently and effectively, our Service Provider may edit or alter payment data or
data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize our Bill Payment Service Provider to
debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as
reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize our Service
Provider to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal
Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another Authorized User of the Service.
Our Bill Payment Service Provider reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your
behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include but may not be limited to an electronic
payment, or an electronic to check payment.
You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (if processing has not begun) by following the directions
within the Service. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. However, once the
Service has begun processing a Scheduled Payment it cannot be canceled or edited, therefore a stop
payment request must be submitted, as described within this Agreement.
You may cancel or edit a Scheduled Payment up until the time that payment processing begins. There is
no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. However, once the Service has begun
processing a payment, it cannot be canceled or edited, and a stop payment request must be submitted.
We must have a reasonable opportunity to act upon any stop payment request made after payment
processing has begun. The ability of this Financial Institution and its Service Provider to process a stop
payment on a Bill Payment request that is already in process will depend on the payment method and
whether or not the payment has cleared.
If you need to place a stop payment request on any Bill Payment that has already been processed, you
must contact our E-Banking Department immediately.
We will make every effort to accommodate your request, but we will have no liability for failing to do so
unless the request is subject to the provisions contained in your depository account agreement or
applicable law as it pertains to pre-authorized EFTs.
We may also require you to present your stop payment request in writing within fourteen (14) days from
the date the request is made. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for
such service as set forth in our applicable fee schedule.
If we complete a stop payment request on your behalf, Bill Payment privileges may be suspended
pending recovery of funds by our Service Provider(s).
In using the Service, you understand that Billers and/or the United States Postal Service may return Bill
Payments to our Service Provider for various reasons such as, but not limited to Biller's forwarding
address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is
paid in full. Our Service Provider will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and
return it to your Biller or void the payment and credit your Payment Account. You may receive notification
from the Service of returned payments.
(H) Bill Payment Information Authorization
Requests for Bill Payment privileges may not be fulfilled if this Financial Institution and/or its Service
Provider(s) cannot verify your identity and withdrawal authority over the specified accounts. Through your
enrollment in the Bill Payment Service, you agree that this Financial Institution and its Service Providers
reserve the right to request a review of your credit rating at our own expense through an authorized
bureau. In addition, you agree that this Financial Institution and its Service Providers reserve the right to
obtain financial information regarding your account from a Biller or your Financial Institution (for example,
to resolve payment posting problems or for verification).
Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service.
Payments to internet gambling sites are also prohibited through the Service.
Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service; however, such
payments are discouraged and are scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall this Financial Institution
or its Service Provider(s) be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these
types of payments. The Bill Payment Service Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges
is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. Research of
exception payments shall be limited to proof of payment and/or unauthorized payments only. All other
research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted, or misdirected exception payments will be your
sole responsibility.
We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment. The Service will notify
you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. This notification is not required if you
attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement.
In using the Service, you are requesting us to make payments for you from your Payment Account. If we
are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for
example, there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction
will not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Service. In such case,
you agree that:
1. You will reimburse our Service Provider, immediately upon demand, the transaction
amount that has been returned.
2. You will reimburse our Service Provider for any fees it may incur in attempting to collect
the amount of the return from you; and
3. Our Service Provider is authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit
reporting agency.
This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only, and it is your sole responsibility to contact your
Billers directly if you do not receive your statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Bill
Payment Service's electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:
(A) Information Provided to the Biller
We are unable to update or change your personal or business information such as, but not limited to
name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, with the electronic Biller. Any changes will need to
be made by you; contact the Biller directly. Additionally, it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames
and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information to gain
unauthorized access to another person's or company's bill.
Our Service Provider may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your e-mail address, Service
address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller at the time of activating the electronic bill for
that Biller, for purposes of the Biller informing you about Service and/or bill information.
(B) Activation
Upon activation of the electronic bill feature, our Service Provider may notify the Biller of your request to
receive electronic billing information. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to
Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. Additionally, the
ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. While your
electronic bill feature is being activated, it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each
electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.
(C) Notification
Our Bill Payment Service Provider will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In
addition to notification within the Service, our Service Provider may send an e-mail notification to the e-
mail address listed for your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is
accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the
Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to
Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may
also cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill
presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle
of each Biller. Our Bill Payment Service Provider will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in
status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of
bill delivery. We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at
the time of cancellation.
You agree to hold harmless, this Financial Institution and its Service Providers should the Biller fail to
deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of
previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
Neither Relyance Bank, nor our Service Providers are responsible for the accuracy of your electronic
bill(s). We are only responsible for presenting the information received from the Biller. Any discrepancies
or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be addressed with the
Biller directly.
This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your
Billers.
17. Privacy
We understand how important privacy is to our customers. We have taken steps to protect the privacy
and security of your personal information, as well as your financial transactions with us. You should read
our Privacy Disclosure before completing the enrollment process for the Service.
It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose
information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make ONLY in the following
situations:
Please refer to our Privacy Disclosure for additional detail on disclosure of account information.
The Online Banking Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and
transactions conducted over the internet. Prior to activating your access to the Online Banking Service,
our E-Banking Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with
the Eligible Account(s) that you request to be linked to the Online Banking Service.
User IDs and Passwords - One of the main security features protecting the Online Banking Service is
the unique combination of your User ID and Password. During the enrollment process, you will be asked
to select a unique User ID and Password. For security purposes, do not use your account number or
social security number as your User ID. Encryption and access controls are used to protect your
Password within our database. We will not have access to this information. If you need to reset your
Password, you may use one of our online, automated Password reset features: Forgot your password?
on the Sign in page or Password within the Customer Service Index, or you may contact the Financial
Institution for assistance.
Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other
sensitive personal data.
NEITHER THIS INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL CONTACT YOU BY
TELEPHONE, EMAIL OR TEXT MESSAGING REQUESTING PERSONAL INFORMATION, SUCH AS
YOUR USER ID, PASSWORD, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, ATM CARD NUMBER OR ATM PIN. IF YOU
ARE CONTACTED BY ANYONE REQUESTING THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION, DO NOT PROVIDE
ANY INFORMATION AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY AT (855)365-RELY.
Encryption -The Online Banking Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) encryption technology
for everything you do while using internet banking. Your browser automatically activates this technology
when it attempts to connect to our Online Banking Service. The Online Banking Service requires a
browser that supports 128-bit encryption and will warn you if your browser does not meet this
requirement.
Whenever SSL/TLS is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure
session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from "open"
to "locked". What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our
servers at all times, so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the internet.
Certificate Authority - The servers hosting the Online Banking Service have been certified by a
Certificate Authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the Online Banking Service instead of
someone pretending to be us. By clicking on the lock within the Online Banking Service, you can view the
certificate to ensure its validity.
Cookies - During your use of the Online Banking Service, our Online Banking Service Provider will pass
an encrypted session cookie to your computer that enables us to process multiple transactions during the
session without having to provide a User ID and Password for each individual transaction. You must
accept this cookie to use the Online Banking Service. The session cookie is stored on your computer's
hard drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on. The session cookie does not contain any
personal information. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the session cookie
will be destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access
your account.
Out of Band Authentication - We use Out of Band authentication (or enhanced security) to help prevent
unauthorized access to your accounts. As part of our enhanced security solution, we may ask you to
place a call or receive a code via text which may be used to help verify your identity in the event unusual
login or transaction activity is detected.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATIONS, AND OPERATION
OF YOUR COMPUTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF UPDATED ANTI-VIRUS
PROTECTION.
NEITHER THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DELAYS, ERRORS, DELETIONS, FAILURES, OR DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL OR
BUSINESS ACCOUNT INFORMATION THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY VIRUS, TROJAN,
SHARED PASSWORD, OR MALFUNCTION OF YOUR COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE OR YOUR
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY MAINTAIN AND SECURE YOUR COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE.
• All Authorized Users should sign-off after every session. While online sessions will
automatically end after a period of inactivity, logging off can help protect you in case you
accidentally leave your computer unattended.
• Refrain from using public computers (e.g., computers in a library, internet cafe or hotel
business center) to access your online banking accounts. The security of public or shared
computers cannot be assured.
• Always keep your computer's operating system and browser fully patched for critical
security issues. We recommend use of the most current, fully patched, versions of
internet browsers for accessing the Online Banking Service.
• Always keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware software current, and routinely scan your
computer, servers, and electronic media using reliable virus detection and anti-spyware
products. Undetected or un-repaired viruses or malicious software (malware) may affect
the performance of your computer, corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and even
your hardware. Furthermore, undetected or un-repaired viruses or malware may affect
the security of online accounts and the privacy of personal information stored on your
computer. If your computer is compromised by some form of malware, virus, or Trojan,
you could unintentionally transmit sensitive account information or personal data to
another third party or transmit a virus to other computers.
• Always use a firewall product (hardware and/or software), especially if you have a
broadband internet connection such as DSL or cable modem.
• If you use a wireless internet connection to access your online accounts, make sure that
the wireless network is encrypted.
Occasionally we may post important security notices on our website and/or send online banking users
security related notices or reminders; it is your responsibility to read all security notices.
When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available
your Password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individual(s). You are
responsible for all transactions authorized or requested though the Online Banking Service using a valid
User ID and Password, including those situations when your User ID and Password are obtained due to
compromise to your computer. If you permit other persons to use the Online Banking Service with your
Password, or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they
authorize.
If you believe that your Password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that
someone may attempt to use the Online Banking Service without your consent or has transferred money
without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling (855)365-RELY during regular business
hours. You can also contact us by sending a secure message through the Online Banking Service.
IF YOU DISCLOSE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE, AND/OR IF YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO USE
YOUR PASSWORD TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOU ARE AUTHORIZING THEM TO ACT ON
YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THE ONLINE BANKING
SERVICE BY THEM (E.G., SUCH AS WHEN YOU PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO AN EMPLOYEE,
AN AGGREGATION SERVICE PROVIDER, OR WHEN YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER IS
COMPROMISED BY A KEY STROKE LOGGING VIRUS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MALWARE).
You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including Password change
confirmations, to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a
designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual.
21. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers and Bill Payments properly.
However, we shall incur no liability and any Bill Payment Service Guarantee shall be void if we are unable
to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following
circumstances:
1. If, through no fault of ours, your Eligible Account(s) and/or Payment Account does not
contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction, or the transaction would exceed the
available limit of your Overdraft Privilege (if applicable).
2. The Service and/or the payment processing center is not working properly, and you know
or have been advised by this Institution and/or its Service Providers about the
malfunction before you execute the transaction.
3. You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the
correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller.
4. Your Eligible Account(s), including either your Payment Account or Billing Account, is
closed.
5. If your computer, software, and/or telecommunication lines were not working properly,
and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or
Bill Payment.
6. It can be shown that the Biller received the Bill Payment within the normal delivery
timeframe and failed to process the payment through no fault of ours.
7. The payment or transaction request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or
legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal.
8. We have reason to believe that a payment or other transaction request may not be
authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary; and/or
9. Circumstances beyond control of the Service, our Service Providers, and this Institution
(such as, but not limited to fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the
proper execution of the transaction, and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid
those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of
funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), or Payment Account, or causes funds from
your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller, which does not comply with your Payment Instructions,
this Financial Institution and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly
transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously
misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
Information regarding Online Banking and Bill Payment transactions will be reflected on the account detail
in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).
23. Provisions Applicable Only to Consumer and Sole Proprietor Deposit Accounts
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, you should notify us as soon as possible
through one of the following methods:
1. Tell us your name, relevant Service account number(s), and User ID.
2. Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain as clearly as possible why
you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business
Days after your verbal notification. We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) Business
Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. However, if we require more time to
confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to
complete our investigation. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10)
Business Days for the amount you think is in error. If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in
writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your
account.
For errors regarding electronic transactions on new accounts, we may take up to ninety (90) days to
investigate your complaint or question. We may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit a new
account for the amount you think is in error.
If it is determined there was no error, we will mail you a written explanation within three (3) Business Days
after completion of our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation. We
may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID or Password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best
way of minimizing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your
maximum Overdraft Privilege, if applicable).
If customers who are Consumers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your Password,
User ID used or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than
$50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2)
Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the
unauthorized use of your Password, User ID, or other means to access your account if you had told us,
you could be liable for as much as $500.00.
If your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once.
If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount
transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days, if we can prove that we could have
stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or
a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.
This Agreement, applicable fees and service charges may be altered or amended from time-to-time. In
such event, we will provide notice to you. Any use of the Service after we provide you a notice of change
will constitute your agreement to such change(s). Further, we may, from time to time, revise or update the
applications, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete.
Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the
applications, services, and/or related material and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions
and updates.
25. Address, E-mail, or Payment Account Changes
When you enroll in the Service, we may send you a "Welcome" e-mail. We will also send you e-mails
and/or secure messages through the Service regarding important Online Banking and Bill Payment
matters and/or changes to this Agreement. You must provide us your current e-mail address in order for
us to deliver this information to you.

Any changes to your Eligible Account(s), Payment Account, or Billing Account should also be made in
accordance with the procedures outlined above.
We are not responsible for any Bill Payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide
accurate Payment Account or contact information.
In the event you wish to cancel the Service, please contact our E-Banking Department or send us a
secure email through the Service.
Any Bill Payment(s) the Service has already processed before the requested cancellation date will be
completed by the Service. All Scheduled Bill Payments, including automatic payments, will not be
processed once the Service is canceled. You will remain responsible for any fees associated with the
Service prior to the effective cancellation date.
We may terminate or suspend the Service to you at any time. Neither termination nor suspension shall
affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement.
Access to our Service may be canceled in whole or part without prior notice due to insufficient funds in
one of your accounts or other circumstances that may create an unanticipated liability to us. If your
account(s) is closed or restricted for any reason, or if there has not been any Online Banking or Bill
Payment activity for a period of six (6) consecutive months, accessibility will automatically terminate.
After termination or suspension of the Service, we may consider reinstatement once sufficient funds are
available in your accounts to cover any fees and other pending transfers or debits. In order to request
reinstatement of the Service, you must re-apply.
