The Bank’s Funds Availability policy applies to checks deposited through mobile deposit. Funds from mobile deposits are generally made available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit, but longer holds may apply.

2. Funds Availability Policy

PURPOSE OF THIS DISCLOSURE. Our general policy is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in a transaction account on the first Business Day after the day of deposit. Funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the first Business Day after the day of deposit. Our complete policy is summarized below.

For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you"/"your" refer to the customer and the terms "our"/"we"/"us" refer to Evergreen Bank Group.

Generally, transaction accounts are accounts which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check to third persons, and also an unlimited number of telephonic and preauthorized transfers to third persons or other accounts you may have with us.

DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.

If you make a deposit before the close of business on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.

AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE

Same Day Availability. Funds from deposits of:

  • electronic direct deposits
  • cash*
  • wire transfers

will be available on the day of deposit.

Next Day Availability. Funds from deposits of:

  • U.S. Treasury checks**
  • U.S. Postal Service money orders**
  • Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks**
  • State or Local Government checks**
  • Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's checks**
  • checks drawn on us

will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.

Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the first Business Day after the day of your deposit.

* Cash Deposits. If the cash deposits are made in person to an employee of Evergreen Bank Group, then the funds will be made available on the day we receive your deposit. If they are not made in person to an employee, then the funds will be made available no later than the next Business Day after the day of your deposit.

** Check Deposits. Check deposits include U.S. Treasury checks; U.S. Postal Service money orders; Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks; State or Local Government checks; and Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's checks. In order for these check deposits to be made available according to the funds availability schedule above, the following conditions are required:

U.S. Treasury Checks. These checks must be made payable to you and deposited into your account.

U.S. Postal Service Money Orders; Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank Checks; State or Local Government Checks; or Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's Checks. These checks must be made payable to you, made in person to one of our employees, and deposited into your account.

If any of these conditions are not satisfied, then the funds from these check deposits will be made available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.

LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY. Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  1. if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid;
  2. if you deposit checks totaling more than $6,725 on any one day;
  3. if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid;
  4. if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or
  5. if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the failure of computer or communications equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS FOR CHECK CASHING. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS IN ANOTHER ACCOUNT. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS. If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $6,725 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $6,725 will be available on the Ninth Business Day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $6,725 will not be available until the second Business Day after the day of deposit.

Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the Ninth Business Day after the day of deposit.

FOREIGN CHECKS. Checks drawn on financial institutions outside of the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds from deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institutions upon which they are drawn.

ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT INFORMATION. Deposits made at a night drop location or night depository will be retrieved and verified by us once at the beginning of each Business Day. Therefore, if you use a night drop during the day that deposit will not be considered received by us until the next Business Day when we retrieve it and process it. Deposits made through the mail are deemed received when they arrive at our operations center and are opened and processed.

3. Substitute Check Policy

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

Substitute Checks and Your Rights

 

WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE CHECK? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check.

Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other law with respect to those transactions.

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS REGARDING SUBSTITUTE CHECKS? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees).

The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other law.

If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500.00 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) not later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.

HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM FOR A REFUND? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us by:

Phone at:    (888) 505-2265 or

Mail at:         Evergreen Bank Group, 1515 W 22nd Street, Suite 100W Oak Brook, IL 60523

You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances.

Your claim must include:

  • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
  • An estimate of the amount of your loss;
  • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
  • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute check such as the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check. Date check was written.

Security, Confidentiality of Access Information

Use of the Services requires a computer or approved mobile device and Internet access connected through an Internet or mobile service provider and with a Web browser (for example, Firefox, Chrome, or Microsoft Internet Explorer).

To protect the confidentiality and security of your financial information, you must connect to the Online Banking Site using an Internet browser that supports TLS encrypted communications. We may change these requirements from time to time.

You agree to keep your Online ID, user name, password, and any other security or access information (collectively, "Access Information") confidential to prevent unauthorized access to your account(s) and to prevent unauthorized use of the Services. We recommend that you memorize your Access Information and do not write it down. You agree not to give or make available your Access Information to any unauthorized individual.

We may try to notify you in advance, but cannot guarantee we will do so.

Enrollment in Services; Accounts Which Can Be Accessed

To enroll in Online Banking, you will need your Social Security or Tax Identification Number and account number, unless otherwise expressly agreed by Evergreen Bank Group (provided Evergreen Bank Group shall have no obligation to so agree).

You must also have opened at least one of the following accounts under your Online ID: a checking, savings, money market, CD, IRA or other deposit account, or an installment loan, line of credit or other loan account, offered by Evergreen Bank Group, (such accounts may be referred to as "eligible accounts"). The use of Online Bill Pay requires at least one eligible checking account with Evergreen Bank Group.

If you have more than one eligible Evergreen Bank Group account, we will automatically "link" your eligible accounts together for purposes of the Services, and all such accounts will appear in your online banking profile on the Online Banking Site. Any accounts for which you are an Authorized Person (including, without limitation, joint accounts for which you are one of multiple Authorized Persons) will appear in your online banking profile.

As set forth above, certain features, information, types of transactions or other services available while using the Services may not be available for all of your linked accounts. If you have a linked joint account or other account that requires two or more signatures to make withdrawals, transfers or transactions, you will not be able to perform certain transactions on such account using the Services.

If you share your log in credentials with a third party, even a third party with whom you share an account, they will have access to view all of your linked accounts, even individual accounts that are not shared with you. As long as you maintain your unique log in credentials, you will have access to view all of your individual accounts and shared accounts and people with whom you share accounts will only be able to view accounts that are shared with you, not your individual accounts.

Electronic Communications

You agree that all electronic communications that we receive on the Online Banking Site or otherwise in connection with the Services, such as those directing us to take an action with respect to your account, that match Access Information or other identity information you have provided when enrolling in or using the Services will be deemed valid, authentic, and binding obligations. These communications will be given the same legal effect as your written and signed paper communications and shall be considered a "writing" or "in writing."  They also shall be deemed to have been "signed" and to constitute an "original" when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business.

You agree that electronic copies of communications are valid and you will not contest the validity or enforceability of such communications or any related transactions, absent proof of altered data or tampering, under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are required to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby, and such copies shall be admissible as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in paper form.

You agree (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to hold harmless Evergreen Bank Group and protect and indemnify Evergreen Bank Group from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, damages and/or demands (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any kind, direct or indirect, arising out of or in any way connected with any Services rendered by Evergreen Bank Group pursuant to or in accordance with any and all electronic communications for which we have attempted to verify your identity as set forth above.

You agree to receive all transactional email communications from Evergreen Bank Group that are primarily related to your use of the Services or to your account(s), including automatic security alerts (discussed below). You consent to any inadvertent disclosures that may occur as a result of Evergreen Bank Group sending account communications to the email address you provide.

Because email is not a secure method of communication over the Internet, we recommend you do NOT use email to send confidential or personal information or initiate transactions on your account(s). We also recommend that you do not send confidential or personal information to us in text messages. We will not respond to or act upon text messages received from you, unless in connection with a specific program or instructions provided to you. We recommend that for account transactions or confidential questions you use the appropriate functions available through Online Banking or notify us as specified on our Contact Us page.

Security Alerts and Optional Communications (including Text Messages)

Online Banking offers both security alerts and optional alerts and communications about your account and account transactions. Security alerts are provided to you for fraud protection and when certain important changes to your account occur, such as the addition of a new biller, password and user name updates, or changes in your physical or primary email address. These alerts are sent automatically by email to your primary email address and by text message to your mobile device number, if you have provided one.

You expressly agree to receive security alerts from us by prerecorded voice message and/or text message, including with the use of an automatic dialer (autodialer), at any mobile device number you provide to us. You may discontinue security alerts sent by text message as indicated below, but you will continue to receive security alerts by email.

In addition to security alerts, you have the option of receiving additional alerts or communications regarding other Online Banking and account activity, delivered by email, text message or voice (together, "Optional Communications"). You may be asked to select from contact options when you sign up for the Optional Communications. By signing up to receive any Optional Communications, you consent to delivery of such messages in the format selected (such as text message or prerecorded voice) to the contact points you identify. If you provide us with a mobile device number for Optional Communications, you expressly agree to receive prerecorded messages and/or text messages at that number from us, including with the use of an autodialer.

Both security alerts and Optional Communications are subject to the following:

You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to your email, mobile device, and telephone contacts to which communications are sent. Please sign in to Online Banking to modify or cancel your User Profile.

Your full account number will not be included in these types of communication from us. However, communications may contain our name and information about your accounts. Depending upon the communication, information pertaining to account balances, checks written, insufficient funds, transactions or payment due dates may be included. Anyone with access to your email, mobile device(s), or telephone or telephone answering machine(s) or service(s) may be able to access the contents of the communication. It is your responsibility to secure these devices, protect your user name(s) and password(s), and provide timely information about contact changes in order to protect the confidentiality of this information. You consent to any disclosures by Evergreen Bank Group that may occur if you do not take appropriate steps to prevent access to your information by unauthorized persons.

We endeavor to provide communications in a timely manner with accurate information. However, we do not guarantee the delivery or accuracy of the contents of any communication. Communications may not reflect pending transactions or payments, and deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal. Additionally, communications may not be delivered immediately. If you require additional details about a transaction, you may sign in to Online Banking or contact us as specified on our Contact Us page.

You agree that neither we nor our service providers will be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any communication; for any errors in the content of a communication; or for any actions taken or not taken by you or any third party in reliance on a communication.

In order to receive security alerts or Optional Communications via text message, your mobile device must be subscribed to a wireless service on a participating mobile carrier, and you must be able to receive text messages using your mobile device and your carrier’s service.

Funds Transfers for Bank Accounts

This section applies only in connection with your use of the Services to access your Bank Account.

General

Your ability to transfer funds from certain accounts is limited by federal law. You should refer to the deposit account agreement which governs your deposit account, a copy of which is available by calling Customer Service at (888) 505-2265 for these legal restrictions and the service charges and penalties for excessive withdrawals or transfers. Transfers made using the Services are included in calculating the permissible number of transfers from certain accounts described in your deposit account agreement.

We reserve the right to impose a frequency or dollar limit on transfers, or to refuse to make any transfer, between certain accounts. We are obligated to notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to complete your transfer instruction; provided, however, that notification is not required if you attempt to make transfers that are prohibited under this Agreement, any Additional Agreement, other Evergreen Bank Group agreements affecting the terms of your account(s), or federal or state laws.

Except as provided in this Agreement, all Internal Transfer instructions received before 10:00 p.m. Central Standard Time will be posted to your account the same Business Day. All Internal Transfer instructions received on or after 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time will be posted the next Business Day.

External Funds Transfers

The External Funds Transfer (“B2B or “Bank-to-Bank”) service allows you to transfer funds between your linked personal deposit accounts at Evergreen Bank Group and certain deposit or investment accounts (checking, savings, or money market accounts) at other financial institutions. An “Inbound Transfer” moves funds into an account at Evergreen Bank Group from an account outside Evergreen Bank Group. An “Outbound Transfer” moves funds from an account at Evergreen Bank Group to an account outside Evergreen Bank Group. You will need to register each of your non-Evergreen Bank Group accounts that you wish to use for these transfers. You agree that you will only attempt to register accounts for which you have the authority to transfer funds. Evergreen Bank Group will post Inbound Transfers to your account as a pending transaction on the “Transfer On” date.  For Outbound Transfers, your funds will be debited on the "Transfer On" date and arrive at your external financial institution on the next Business Day. Consult your external financial institution for details on when funds will post to your account.

For transfers into an Evergreen Bank Group Bank deposit account, the funds may not be available until the third Business Day after the "Transfer On" date.

Cut-off Time: 5:00 p.m. CST

Any transfer made after the cut-off time will be initiated the next Business Day.

Modifying or Cancelling Transfers: Please contact the Bank prior to 5:00 p.m. CST to modify or cancel a transaction.

Transfer Fees: There is no fee to initiate Inbound Transfers or Outbound Transfers. We may change our fee schedule at any time. If we make a change, you will be notified in writing as required by applicable law. Cancellation of the services for which fees are charged does not release you from liability for any and all fees assessed by us but not yet paid prior to your cancellation of such service.

Transfer Limits: Transfer limits are defined at enrollment to the Service. These daily and monthly dollar limits apply to the total of all transfers for all accounts linked to the user profile. Any transfer initiated on a day that is not a Business Day counts toward the applicable limit for the next Business Day. We may change your transfer limits at any time. Any decrease will be subject to notice, if required by law, but you agree that we may reduce your limits without prior notice upon occurrence of a Disqualifying Event.

Disqualifying Events:

• Any of your accounts with Evergreen Bank Group are not current or are not in good standing.

• You have had an overdraft, an over-limit item, or an item returned for insufficient funds with respect to any Evergreen Bank Group account during the current or three prior calendar months.

• You have had any prior transfer to or from a non-Evergreen Bank Group account canceled, revoked, or uncompleted due to insufficient funds, revoked authorization, stopped payments, frozen accounts, or any similar reason.

Status Email: Evergreen Bank Group will periodically send messages to your primary email address during the external funds transfer process. These messages will provide information pertaining to the trial deposit process, confirm account linkages, and contain status updates for transfers in progress. Primary email address is defined in Online Banking and you are responsible for updating the address should it change. Email messages regarding the funds transfer process do not contain any non-public personal information and cannot be suppressed.

Choice of Law

We may accept, on your behalf, payments to your account that are not subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”) and Regulation E. Your rights and obligations with respect to such transfers shall be governed and construed in accordance with Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Regulation J, Subpart B-Funds Transfers through Fedwire, and the applicable Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Operating Circular. Electronic transfers sent or received via automated clearing house are subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA") and Regulation E. Where none of the above stated rules apply, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers

If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable: (a) if, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer; (b) if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or (c) for any other reason stated elsewhere in this Agreement. If we are ever obligated by law to pay interest on the amount of a transfer, you will be paid interest on a daily basis equal to the current annual percentage rate that is otherwise applicable to the account from which the funds transfer should have occurred. In the event we are ever liable to you for damages due to a transfer, your damages will be limited to actual damages only. We will not be responsible for incidental or consequential damages, court costs or attorneys' fees.

Payments

Online payments include (a) payments made through the Services for which the Payment Account is an Evergreen Bank Group account ("Outgoing Payments"), including, without limitation, any payment that you schedule through our Online Bill Pay service, (b) payments to certain Evergreen Bank Group accounts ("Incoming Payments"), and (c) payments made in the form of Funds Transfers to eligible loan or line of credit accounts (which are covered by the "Funds Transfers" section above and any other provisions governing Funds Transfers in this Agreement).

Online Bill Pay payments and any other bill payments permitted by the Services will be debited from your designated Payment Account. Evergreen Bank Group's receipt of your bill payment instructions authorizes us to debit (or if the Payment Account is with another financial institution, request that such institution debit) your Payment Account, and to remit (or request that such financial institution remit) funds on your behalf. We will perform the Service in such a manner as to allow funds to arrive at the designated Biller's location as near as reasonably possible to the Payment date designated by you. You also authorize us to credit your Online Bill Payment Account for payments returned to us by the United States Postal Service or any Biller, or for payments remitted to you on behalf of another Authorized Person of the Service.

With respect to Outgoing Payments, if at the time funds are to be removed from your Payment Account, there are insufficient funds, and we pay the bill, you understand and agree that you are responsible for reimbursing Evergreen Bank Group for the amount of the bill, along with any additional fees or penalties. The dollar amount of these fees or penalties is published in the Evergreen Bank Group Fee Schedule, available at any Evergreen Bank Group banking office, via an email request or by calling Customer Service at (888) 505-2265. You further understand that any and all payments by Evergreen Bank Group in these circumstances are purely at our discretion and that the payment by Evergreen Bank Group of any bills under these circumstances in no way obligate us to pay the same or similar bills in the future.

You should keep your Payment Accounts open and active. Should your bill pay eligible checking accounts close, your Online Bill Pay services will end and any unprocessed Outgoing Payment transactions will be cancelled. Cancellation of your Online Bill Payment transactions may take up to five (5) Business Days from the processing date of a payment scheduled from your closed checking account. If you close your Payment Account, any Incoming Payments will not be processed. Outgoing Payments scheduled through Online Bill Payment from the closed Payment Account may be processed, depending on proximity to the Payment date.

With respect to Incoming Payments for which your Payment Account is not an Evergreen Bank Group account, additional terms and conditions established by the financial institution with which you have such Payment Account may apply to such Incoming Payments.

With respect to all Outgoing Payments and Incoming Payments that you may schedule through the Services: You understand and agree that it is your responsibility, in accordance with all terms hereof, to authorize bill payments in such a manner that the bills will be paid on time and that the Biller will receive your payment no later than the Due Date on the statement provided to you by the Biller. You understand and agree that we reserve the right to impose a frequency or dollar limit on payment requests or to refuse to make any payment you have requested. You understand we will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to complete any payment instruction; provided, however, that notification is not required if you attempt to make payments that are prohibited under the “Prohibited Payments” section of this Agreement.

Online Bill Payment for Bank Accounts

General Authorization

You authorize us to process the transactions permitted under this Agreement for you as requested by you from time to time, and you authorize us to post transactions to your account(s) as directed. You may request a payment be delivered one time, or on an automatic recurring basis in such manner as you direct.  We reserve the right to refuse payment to any Biller to which you may direct a payment. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. The notification is not required, however, if you attempt to make a payment under the section(s) titled "Prohibited Payments" of this Agreement. You authorize us to debit your account(s) for any and all fees for the additional services (as described below) you have chosen to utilize.

Withdrawal of Funds for Bill Payment and Payment of Fees

You have the option of selecting from which one of your deposit accounts the Service will withdraw funds for bill payments. We may assess fees, for which you shall be liable, in the event we provide to you, upon your request, any one or more of the following additional services, or other additional services for which fees are charged:

•Provision of copies of checks which have cleared your account and have been paid

•Stop payment orders for bill payments processed but not yet paid from your Online Bill Payment Account

•Manually issuing a check upon your special request

Cancellation of the services for which fees are charged does not release you from liability for any and all fees assessed by us but not yet paid prior to your cancellation of such service. You understand the dollar amount of these fees is published in the Evergreen Bank Group Fee Schedule available at any Evergreen Bank Group banking office, via an email request, or by calling Customer Service at (888) 505-2265.

Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance

By providing us with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow your payment instructions. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with instructions we receive from your designated Billers.

Our receipt of your bill payment instructions authorizes us to debit your Online Bill Payment Account and to remit funds on your behalf to the designated Biller. We will perform the Service in such a manner as to allow funds to arrive at the designated Biller's location as near as reasonably possible to the Payment date designated by you. You also authorize us to credit your Online Bill Payment Account for payments returned to us by the United States Postal Service or any Biller, or for payments remitted to you on behalf of another Authorized Person of the Service.

We shall use reasonable efforts to properly and timely make all your payments. However, you agree that we shall incur no liability, and any Service Guarantee shall be void, if we are unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the circumstances set forth in the section titled "Our Responsibility for Payments and Funds Transfers" of this Agreement.

Please see the section of this Agreement titled “IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT PAYMENTS, TRANSFERS OR OTHER TRANSACTIONS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICES” for information regarding questions or errors about funds transfers or bill payments made through the Services.

If a payment posts after its Payment date because the Biller(s) failed to credit your payment promptly after receipt, but you scheduled the payment in accordance with this Agreement and none of the other exceptions set forth in the section titled "Our Responsibility for Payments and Funds Transfers" of this Agreement, we will assist you and your Biller(s) in attempting to resolve any delayed payment issues.

Payment Scheduling

You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to authorize bill payments in such a manner that the bills will be paid on time and that the Biller will receive your payment no later than the Due Date on the statement provided to you by the Biller. You understand and agree that you must select a Payment date that is a date absolutely no later than the Due Date posted on the statement given to you by the Biller. If the Due Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, you further understand and agree that your Payment date must be at least one (1) Business Day before the Due Date. You understand that Payment dates must be dates prior to any "Late Date" and/or "Grace Period" provided on the statement given to you by the Biller.

The Service will default to the earliest Payment date for each Biller. Depending on the Biller, your payment may be scheduled with a Due Date of the next Business Day or it may be scheduled with a Due Date between two (2) and four (4) Business Days from the date that you set up the payment.

You understand that we begin processing bill payment instructions either same day or between one (1) and three (3) Business Days prior to the Payment date, depending on the particular payment. Once the Service has begun processing a payment you will no longer have the option to cancel or modify payment instructions.

Bill payments scheduled prior to 2:00 p.m. CST on a Business Day will be processed on the same Business Day. Bill payment requests initiated after 2:00 p.m. CST will be processed the following Business Day. Recurring payments that occur on a weekend or Federal Holiday will be scheduled for the last Business Day prior to the weekend or Federal Holiday.

Electronic Bills (eBills)

The Service’s eBills feature enables you to receive electronic bills from participating Billers.

A separate registration is required for each participating Biller. Participating Billers establish their own criteria for reviewing requests to receive eBills and have sole discretion to accept or decline your request.

You understand that as part of your registration in eBills, your Biller will require certain login information pertaining to you or your account with the Biller. Evergreen Bank Group will forward your login information to your Biller so that your identity can be authenticated and your payment information can be displayed in your online Evergreen Bank Group eBill account. If you have questions about the use or security of your information, please read Evergreen Bank Group's Privacy Notice posted at www.evergreenbankgroup.com. If you have questions around how the Biller collects or uses personal information, please contact your Biller directly. In some cases, eBill data is retrieved from direct feeds from the Biller to our Bill Pay Service provider. In other cases, we may obtain the eBill from the website of the Biller. In these cases, we may ask you to provide any required information to access the Biller's web site, such as your user name and/or password. You understand and agree that this information will be saved and encrypted in order to continue to retrieve your billing information for each billing cycle. You further understand that by providing this information, you authorize us to access the third party website to retrieve the account information on your behalf.

You understand that the eBill service is dependent upon delivery of your billing information from your Biller. You agree to hold Evergreen Bank Group harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your eBill statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payments of all bills. If you do not receive a bill, it is your responsibility to contact the Biller directly.

The Bank is not responsible for the accuracy of your eBill(s). The Bank is only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any questions or disputes regarding the accuracy of your bill details must be directed to the Biller.

You may schedule one-time, recurring or automatic payments to your eBill enabled Billers. An automatic payment is different than a recurring payment in that the amount of your payment may change from billing cycle to billing cycle.

You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of eBills may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to five (5) Business Days to process your eBill cancellation request. The Biller also reserves the right to cancel the presentment of eBills at any time.

Payment Methods

You understand that we reserve the right to select the method by which to remit funds to your designated Biller(s). The date your Online Bill Payment Account will be debited will vary depending on the payment method. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to:

•An electronic payment: These payments will be electronically debited from your Online Bill Payment Account on the Payment date, unless the Payment date falls on a non-Business Day in which case funds will be debited on the previous Business Day, and will be electronically forwarded to your Biller(s).

•A laser draft payment: These payments will be forwarded to your Biller(s) via draft drawn on your Online Bill Payment Account to be sent on the Payment date. The funds will be debited from your Online Bill Payment Account once your Biller receives and processes the draft. Your designated Biller may receive a payment via paper check.

Payment Cancellation

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Online Bill Payment (including recurring payments) and will not incur a charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment prior to being processed by us. You understand and agree that once we have begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited. In such circumstances, you must submit a “stop-payment” request to us.

Stop Payment Requests

You understand our ability to process a stop-payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a payment has cleared your Online Bill Payment Account. You understand we may not have a reasonable opportunity within which to act on any stop-payment request after we have already processed a payment. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed but has not yet cleared your Online Bill Payment Account, you must contact Evergreen Bank Group Customer Service by calling (888) 505-2265. You understand and agree that we will have no liability for failing to accommodate a stop-payment request. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop-payment request will be the current charge for such service as stated in our Fee Schedule.

Returned Payments

You understand that Billers, payment processors or the United States Postal Service may return bill payments to the Bank for various reasons. These reasons can include, but are not limited to, the following:

•the Biller’s forwarding address has expired;

•the Biller’s account number is not valid;

•the Biller is unable to locate the account; or

•Your account with the Biller is paid in full.

The Bank will use its best efforts to notify you of any Returned Payments. You are responsible for reconciling your Account(s) and reviewing the status of the payments. If we are unable to complete a payment for any reason, we may, by a method of our choosing and at our sole discretion, provide you with notice.

Prohibited Payments

We cannot schedule Bill Payments to Billers located outside the United States or any of its territories or payments otherwise prohibited by law.

Exception Payments

You understand and agree that the following payments may be scheduled through the Service but that such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk:

 •Court-ordered payments (such as, but not limited to, child support payments or traffic tickets)

 •Tax payments and other governmental fees

 •Payments to settle securities purchases

 •Transactions authorizing transfers to interest bearing or deposit accounts at a financial institution

In no event shall we be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your requesting and scheduling these types of payments. We have no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from your scheduling one of these types of payments. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected payments will be your sole responsibility.

Electronic Communications Disclosure

Please read this Electronic Communications Disclosure ("eCommunications Disclosure") thoroughly—it contains important information about your legal rights.

Your Legal Rights

Certain laws require us to provide specific information (“Communications”) to you in writing, which means you have a right to receive that information on paper. We may provide such information to you electronically if we first present this eCommunications Disclosure and obtain your consent to receive it electronically. Your consent will also apply to any other person named on your account, product or service, subject to applicable law. Since Online Banking and other Evergreen Bank Group websites include some of this information, you may consent to this eCommunications Disclosure as part of these services.

At times, we may still present you with paper disclosures or other documents that contain important information about your account, and you should continue to review any correspondence that we mail to you, but as a basic proposition we need to know that you are willing to receive disclosures and other information electronically that otherwise must be provided on paper and that you have the hardware and software needed for access to this information. Any communications that Evergreen Bank Group determines, in its sole discretion, that you should receive in paper rather than electronic form will be mailed to the primary address we show for you in our records or otherwise delivered as required by law or any Additional Agreement.

By consenting to this eCommunications Disclosure, you agree that you have or have access to equipment that meets the hardware and software requirements described below to enable you to sign in and use Online Banking and to access and retain your statements, documents, and disclosures electronically. If, in the future, you no longer have or have access to equipment that meets our hardware and software requirements, please contact us at (888) 505-2265 to unenroll from receiving electronic communications. We reserve the right to cancel your participation in this program at any time.

4.2 Online Banking Terms & Conditions (PART TWO)

Setting Your Preferences

For certain accounts, we have created options that allow you to choose to receive electronically the types of communications that work best for your particular needs. There are two categories of communications that you may be able to receive by electronic means—periodic statements ("Statements") and other disclosures and notices that we may provide as part of your online banking experience at Evergreen Bank Group as described in more detail below ("Other Communications").

Depending on your account, you may be able to set your preferences to receive either or both of these types of Communications electronically. Sign in to Online Banking to see which Communications you may be able to receive electronically.  If you decide to receive some Communications in paper and some electronically, the Communications that you receive electronically will be governed by this eCommunications Disclosure. When you use Online Banking to enroll an eligible account for electronic receipt of Statements or Other Communications you will be required to input your email address.

If your Account is closed, you may lose access to the Services, including the ability to access any Communications we have provided in electronic form.  Accordingly, if your Account is closed, we may send Communications to you in paper form via U.S. mail, even if you previously elected to receive such materials electronically.

Paperless Statements

You may elect to receive your Statements electronically rather than in paper. Such electronic Statements may contain other related electronic disclosures such as our annual privacy notice and notices of changes in terms regarding products and services, which are otherwise required to be provided in paper form by either the Electronic Fund Transfer Act or the Truth in Lending Act, depending on the product that you have. Your online Statements will be available to review at intervals in accordance with your existing statement cycle date.  While enrolled, your online Statement will be available for 18 months.

Other Communications

If you elect to receive Other Communications electronically rather than in paper form, the Other Communications may be made available through Online Banking or other Evergreen Bank Group websites.  These Other Communications may include agreements, disclosures, notices, and other information and communications regarding your accounts, services and products, the use of any the Services, any other Evergreen Bank Group Web services, your relationship with us, and/or other programs, products or services that are or may be in the future made available to you. Other Communications may also include, but are not limited to:

  • This eCommunications Disclosure and any updates.
  • This Agreement, other service or user agreements for online access to Evergreen Bank Group websites, all updates to these agreements and all disclosures, notices and other communications regarding Online Banking and transactions you make within Online Banking or through other Evergreen Bank Group websites.

  • Important disclosures and notices relating to the maintenance or operation of an account, product, or service including, but not limited to account information, account activity, account inactivity, payments made or due, or other statements, disclosures or notices that may be required by the Truth in Savings Act, Electronic Fund Transfer Act, Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or other applicable federal or state laws and regulations.
  • Any notice or disclosure regarding an account, product, or service fee, including, but not limited to, late fees, and over limit fees.
  • Any notice of the addition of new terms and conditions or the deletion or amendment of existing terms and conditions applicable to accounts, products or services you obtain from us that may be required by the Truth in Savings Act, Electronic Fund Transfer Act, Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable federal or state laws and regulations.
  • Our Privacy Notice and other privacy statements or notices (by posting such notices on our website).
  • Certain tax statements or notices that we are legally required to provide to you, such as 1099 forms.
  • Certain information or forms that we request from you and ask you to submit electronically, such as signature cards, W-9s, or other agreements.

Hardware and Software Requirements

To access and retain the information subject to this consent, you must have or have access to equipment that meets the hardware and software requirements:

  • A personal computer or other device that is capable of accessing the Internet
  • An Internet web browser capable of supporting TLS encrypted communications. We support the latest version of Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

The immediate prior versions of these browsers will only be supported if they are still supported by the browser company themselves. When a new version is announced as Release to Web (RTW), support will cease on the third-oldest major version.  Please note that utilizing older browsers may result in disabled functionality or limited access to services.  “Beta” versions of any browser are not supported.
  • Email access with at least 1MB of free space

If you’re unsure whether your computer or web browser meets our suggested system requirements, please call us at (888) 505-2265.

To print Statements or Other Communications you must have a printer connected to your computer. To download Statements or Other Communications, if available, you must have sufficient hard-drive space to store the relevant materials.

How to Withdraw Your Consent

You can withdraw your consent to receiving your statement electronically, with no cost to you, by phone. To do so, call Customer Care at (888) 505-2265 or email [email protected].  Your withdrawal of consent is effective only after you have communicated your withdrawal to Evergreen Bank Group by calling the appropriate customer service phone numbers and Evergreen Bank Group has had a reasonable period of time to act upon your withdrawal. Such withdrawal of consent will only apply to those communications that are required by law or regulation to be provided to you in paper form. We may continue to deliver to you in electronic format all other communications. Your consent shall remain in force until withdrawn in the manner provided in this section.

Consent Coverage; Certain Notices from You Are Not Covered

You may be required, by contract or applicable law, to give us notice in writing.  Your consent here does not relate to those notices, and you must still provide them to us on paper.

Additionally, this eCommunications Disclosure does not apply to the following:

 •Any notice of default, acceleration, repossession, foreclosure, or eviction, or the right to cure or reinstate or redeem under a credit agreement secured by your primary residence.

 •Any transactions subject to Uniform Commercial Code, other than sections 1-107 and 1-206 and Articles 2 and 2A.

 •Any other communications that Evergreen Bank Group determines, in its sole discretion, that you should receive in paper rather than electronic form, including offers of products and services.

Obtaining Copies of Electronic Communications

We recommend that you print or download a copy of this Agreement, this eCommunications Disclosure, and all other Communications to retain for your permanent records. If you are initiating the Online Banking enrollment process at a banking branch, the banker can provide you with paper copies.

You may print or make a copy of Other Communications by using the "Print" button (or otherwise using your printing functionality) or saving a copy. Do this when you first review the Other Communications, because after submission we do not necessarily keep them all in a place that you can access.

You may also call Customer Service at (888) 505-2265 to request a paper copy of your Statement or Other Communications.  Be sure to specify your account, service, or product identification number, as applicable, the specific Other Communication for which you are requesting a paper copy, and the address to which it should be mailed. We may charge fees for paper copies of the Statements or Other Communications.

Updating Your Contact Information

As a courtesy, when your Statement is available online, we will attempt to send an email notification to the address that we have on file.  We also may send you an email notification when you have a new Other Communication available for review. Alternatively, we may communicate the Other Communication directly through email. To view or download your Statement or Other Communication, sign into Online Banking.

In the event that your email address or other contact information is changed, you must notify Evergreen Bank Group of such changes immediately through Online Banking.  It is your responsibility to update any changes in your email address online, and we are not responsible if you do not receive a courtesy reminder. If you do not receive an email and believe you should have, please verify your email address in Online Banking.

If you fail to update or change an incorrect email address or other contact information, you understand and agree that any Other Communications shall nevertheless be deemed to have been provided to you if they were made available to you in electronic form in Online Banking, or at another Evergreen Bank Group website or emailed to the email address we have for you in our records.

Fees and Charges

For information about fees that may apply in connection with your Bank Account, please consult the Evergreen Bank Group Fee Schedule, available at any Evergreen Bank Group banking office, or by calling Customer Service at (888) 505-2265. In addition to such fees set forth in the Fee Schedule, you shall be subject to all fees, charges, penalties, balance requirements, and other restrictions explained in your account agreements or other Additional Agreements.

Fees are subject to change, and we may impose additional charges, penalties or fees in connection with your use of the Services at any time, subject to the terms here.

You agree to promptly pay all fees and charges for services provided through the Services, and you authorize us to automatically deduct all applicable charges and fees from your designated Evergreen Bank Group Payment Account(s) or any other eligible account.

You agree to be responsible for any telephone charges and/or Internet service fees you incur in accessing your account(s) through the Services.

Changes in Services; Interruptions in Service

We may, from time to time and at any time, revise, update, discontinue or otherwise modify, temporarily or permanently, the Services in whole or in part (including, without limitation, the Online Banking Site, this Agreement, the scope of the Services, and any materials related to the Services), or your access to them. We will attempt to provide prior notice of any such material changes (for example, by posting a notice of such changes on the Online Banking Site when you sign in, and/or sending a notice to you at the address shown on our records or sending you a secure message), but cannot guarantee that such notice will be provided.

Whenever reasonably practicable, we will attempt to post or send such notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any additional fees for online transactions, or of any stricter limits on the type, amount or frequency of transactions or any increase in your responsibility for unauthorized transactions; provided, that we cannot guarantee that we will provide such notice by such time; and provided further, that we reserve the right to make any such changes effective immediately if necessary to maintain the security of the system or to comply with any laws or regulations. If such a change is made, and it can be disclosed without jeopardizing the security of the system, we will provide you with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after the change.

Changes to the Services may render prior versions of the Services obsolete. Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all prior versions of the Services and/or related materials and limit access to our more recent versions and updates.

You may choose to accept or decline changes by closing, continuing or discontinuing use of the Services to which these changes relate. Your use of the Services after we make any changes will constitute your agreement to such changes. We also reserve the option, in our sole business judgment, to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations.

The Service is generally available for your use 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. However, we may from time to time perform maintenance to the Services or experience hardware, software, or other problems related to the Services, resulting in interrupted service, delays or errors in the Services. We will attempt to provide prior notice of such interruptions, delays, or errors but cannot guarantee that such notice will be provided.

Our Responsibility for Payments and Funds Transfers

By using any payment or funds transfer service available through the Services, you warrant that you are an authorized signer on the account from which the funds are being drawn to make the payment or transfer.  We, or a third party acting as our agent, will use reasonable efforts to timely and properly complete funds transfers and bill payments from your designated checking, savings or other deposit account(s) or from your line of credit account(s) (as applicable) according to your properly entered and transmitted instructions. However, neither a third-party service provider nor we will be liable in any way for any failure or delay in completing any such transaction (whether an Outgoing Payment, Incoming Payment or funds transfer, as applicable):

  •If, through no fault of our own or of our agent, you do not have adequate money in a designated checking, savings, or other deposit account to complete a transaction from that account, if that account has been closed, or if the transaction would exceed the credit limit on any applicable overdraft line of credit.

 •If our payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute your bill payment instructions.

 •If you have not properly followed instructions on how to make a funds transfer.

 •If you do not provide Evergreen Bank Group with complete, correct and current Payment Account or Biller information, or if you otherwise do not give complete, correct and current instructions so that a funds transfer or bill payment can be made.

 •If you do not authorize a bill payment or transfer soon enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the Biller by the Due Date.

 •If a timely bill payment is made but the Biller nevertheless does not credit your payment promptly after receipt.

 •If withdrawals from any accounts have been prohibited by a court order such as a garnishment or other legal process.

 •If we or our agent reasonably believes that a transaction may be unauthorized and based thereon the transaction is not completed.

 •If your Computer was not working properly such that it interfered with your attempt to authorize a funds transfer or bill payment.

 •If circumstances beyond our or our agent's control prevent making a funds transfer or bill payment. Such circumstances include but are not limited to computer failure, telecommunication outages, postal strikes and other labor unrest, delays caused by Billers, fires, floods, and other natural disasters, terrorist acts or war.

 •In any other set of circumstances as set forth in your Additional Agreements.

 Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties

You authorize us to disclose to third parties, affiliates, and agents, such as independent auditors, consultants or attorneys, information you have provided or that we, or our affiliates, have obtained about your accounts and the transfers you make on Online Banking for the following reasons:

 •To comply with laws, government agency rules or orders, subpoenas, or other legal process or to give information to any government agency or official having legal authority to request such information

 •To verify your account's existence and condition for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant

 •When necessary to complete any type of transfers and any type of bill payments

 •To provide services relating to your account or to offer other products and services, in compliance with our Privacy Policy.

 •If you give your permission.

Statement of Record

If you receive paper and electronic statements, any account information provided by the Services is not the statement of record. The periodic statement that is mailed to you will be the statement of record. If you have chosen to stop receiving paper statements, the periodic statement provided to you electronically will be the statement of record. In any case, you are responsible for reviewing any statement and other account communications sent to you by postal mail. Any mailed statement and other account communications will continue to contain important information about your account(s), regardless of whether you access your account(s) through the Services or whether you have chosen to receive your statement electronically.

Your Responsibilities and Liabilities

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the contact information in your online banking user profile is current and accurate. This contact information includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers, email addresses, and account numbers. Changes can be made either by calling Customer Service at (888) 505-2265 or via US mail. We are not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred by you if you do not provide accurate account or contact information.

If you close any Payment Account, you must notify us and identify a new Payment Account for the selected Services. Additionally, if you close all your accounts with us, you agree to notify us to cancel your Services.

Unauthorized Transactions

You will be sent periodic statements for your account(s) with the regularity provided for in your account agreement(s). Your role is extremely important in the prevention of any wrongful use of your account(s). You must carefully examine your statement upon receipt.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that an unauthorized transaction has been or may be made from your account(s); if you believe another person has improperly obtained your online password(s) or has transferred or may transfer money from your account(s) without authorization; or you suspect fraudulent activity on your account(s).

You can call Customer Service at (888) 505-2265 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:30PM p.m. CST Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00p.m. CST on Saturdays, or write to us at Evergreen Bank Group, 1515 W 22nd St, Ste 100W, Oak Brook, IL 60523, or log into your account at evergreenbankgroup.com and click on the Contact Us link.

Telephoning us right away will help you reduce possible losses. Without timely notification, you could lose all the money in your designated checking, savings or other deposit accounts plus the maximum amount of credit available from your revolving line of credit account if it is used as overdraft protection.

To the extent a transaction is an electronic fund transfer from a Personal Account, the following rules apply: You can lose no more than $50 in connection with an unauthorized transfer resulting from the loss or theft of your Access Information if you notify us within two Business Days of learning of the loss or theft of your Access Information.  However, you can lose as much as $500 in connection with an unauthorized transfer resulting from the loss or theft of your Access Information if you do not notify us within two Business Days of learning of the loss or theft of your Access Information and we can prove that we could have stopped the unauthorized transfer had we been notified.  If you do not report unauthorized transactions that appear on any of your periodic statements within 60 days after such statements are mailed or electronically transmitted to you, you risk unlimited losses on transactions made after the 60 day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use had we been notified within this 60 day period. If extenuating circumstances, such as a long trip or hospital stay, kept you from telling us, the time periods in this section may be extended.

You agree to assist us in our efforts to recover any funds that were transferred or paid without your permission.

In Case of Errors or Questions about Payments, Transfers or Other Transactions Made Through the Services

In case of questions or errors about funds transfers or bill payments made through the Services, you must do one of the following:

Call us at (888) 505-2265.

Write to us at:

 Evergreen Bank Group

 Attn: Electronic Banking

 1515 W 22nd St, Ste 100W

 Oak Brook, IL 60523

Or log into your account at www.evergreenbankgroup.com and click on Contact Us.

With respect to any statements you receive from us that reflect transactions you performed while using the Services, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST paper or online statement on which the problem or error appeared.

To report an error you must:

1. Tell us your name and Account number.

2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.

3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not credit your Account.  If the error occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to your Account was made, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question, and we may take up to 20 Business Days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error.  We will tell you the results within three Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

In our investigation of any such bill payment transactions, we will request from the Biller a refund of any interest and/or fees which you may have been wrongly assessed, if we will have no obligation to further pursue such request if the Biller denies such request. You will be notified of the final resolution.

 Amendment

We have the right to change this Agreement, including the applicable fees and charges, at any time, which changes may include the addition of new charges or terms. If we make changes, you will be notified as required by applicable law.

Termination

You may continue to access the Services until your access is terminated by you or us. We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.  For your security, if your online access has been terminated, you may be required to re-enroll.

If you close your account, you may no longer be able to access Online Banking or the Services.  However, cancellation of your access to Online Banking will not terminate any Accounts you access via Online Banking.  Depending on the type of transaction, termination of your access to the Services may result in cancellation of any applicable account transactions you have previously authorized.  Accordingly, you should monitor your accounts after termination to confirm whether transactions have been made.  Additionally, if you do not want a transaction to take place after your access has terminated, you should cancel the transactions prior to termination.

We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services if you do not access the Services and there has been no activity on any of your accounts through the Services (such as an automatic bill payment).

This Agreement will be in effect from the date of your enrollment in the Services and at all times while you are using Online Banking or the Services.  Termination shall not affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement for any transactions initiated prior to termination.

If you have further questions, email us at [email protected], or call us at (888) 505-2265. The balances are updated in "real-time" and the system will display the most current "as of" date on the "accounts" summary page.

However, it can only be provided on a best efforts basis for your convenience and is not warranted or guaranteed. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DEFICIENCIES IN THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, OR TIMELINESS OF SUCH INFORMATION OR FOR ANY INVESTMENT OR OTHER DECISION MADE USING THIS INFORMATION.

The Online Banking Payment Limits, Scheduling of Payments and Fee Structure remain in effect during any use of Mobile Banking. These services are not affected by the Mobile Banking access. The Bank does not have any duty to monitor payments made through the Bill Payment service. If you are a business and an authorized representative of yours uses your Bill Payment service to pay bills which are not yours, you assume the entire risk of loss and indemnify and hold us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless from all loss, liability, claims, demands, judgments, and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with such use.

Once the deposit is posted to your account, you are responsible for preventing future negotiability of original checks by assuring that they have been destroyed properly by paper shredder, incinerator or other appropriate means.

Hardware and Software: In order to use Mobile Deposit, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware and software as specified by the Bank from time to time. The Bank is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use the Services.

Errors: You agree to notify the Bank of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through Mobile Deposit right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable Bank account statement is sent where the item appears. Unless you notify the Bank within 60 days, such statement regarding all deposits made through the Services shall be deemed correct, and you may be prohibited from bringing a claim against the Bank for such alleged error.

SECTION 6. NOTICE OF YOUR RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

You must notify us immediately if your mobile device, Online Banking ID or password have been compromised, lost, stolen or used without your authorization. Failure to notify us immediately could result in the loss of all money accessible by such password. Telephoning us at the number listed below in the Errors and Questions section is the best way of limiting your possible loss. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if you have one). If we are notified within two (2) business days after you discover your mobile device, Online Banking ID or password has been compromised, lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used it without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days, and we can prove we could have prevented someone from using the Online Banking ID and password without your permission, you could lose as much as $500. If your statement shows unauthorized transfers, notify us within 60 days after the statement is mailed to you. After 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if we had been told, you may not get back any money from us. If the Individual(s) delay in notifying the Bank was due to extenuating circumstances, such as a long trip or hospital stay, the Bank may extend the time period specified herein to a reasonable period. This section applies only to electronic fund transfers that debit or credit your checking, savings, or other asset accounts and are subject to the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation E.
