DOCUMENTATION

receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using
one of our automated teller machines.
- Periodic statements – You will get
a monthly statement from us for your checking accounts. You will get a
monthly statement from us for your savings accounts, unless there are no
transfers in a particular month. In any case with no electronic activity,
you will get a statement at least quarterly.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S LIABILITY
Liability for failure to make 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, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not
have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If you have an overdraft line and the
transfer would go over the credit limit.
- If the automated teller machine where you
are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working
properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such
as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions
that we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions stated in
our agreement with you.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We will disclose information to third parties
about your account or the transfers you make:
- where it is necessary for completing
transfers; or
- in order to verify the existence and
condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or
merchant; or
- in order to comply with government agency
or court orders; or
- if you give us written permission.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
(a) Consumer liability – (1)
Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been
lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses
down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum
overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2 business days, you can
lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or code without your
permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days
after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can
prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without
your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that
you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days
after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you
lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone
from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a
hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
(2) Additional Limits on Liability for
MasterCard-branded card, when used for point-of-sale transactions. You
will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your
MasterCard-branded card, when used for point-of-sale transactions, if: (i)
you report the loss or theft of your card within 24 hours of when you
discover the loss or theft, (ii) you have not reported to us two or more
incidents of unauthorized use within the prior twelve-month period, and
(iii) your account is in good standing. If any of these conditions are not
met, your liability is the lesser of $50 or the amount of money, property,
labor, or services obtained by the unauthorized use before notification to
us. “Unauthorized use” means the use of your debit card by a person, other
than you, who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such
use, and from which you receive no benefit.
(b) Contact in event of unauthorized
transfer – If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen
or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without your permission, call us at the telephone number listed on this
page.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
In case of errors or questions about your
electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address
listed on this page, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or
receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on
the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after
we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if
any).
- 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.
- 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 (20 business days if the transfer involved a new
account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we
need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer
involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated
transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do
this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days
if the transfer involved a new account) 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. Your account is considered a new account for the
first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless you already have an
established account with us before this account is opened.
We will tell you the results within three
business days after 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.

NOTICE OF ATM/NIGHT DEPOSIT FACILITY USER
PRECAUTIONS
As with all financial institutions, please
exercise discretion when using an automated teller machine (ATM) or night
deposit facility. For your own safety, be careful. The following suggestions
may be helpful:
- Prepare for your transactions at home (for
instance, by filling out a deposit slip) to minimize your time at the ATM
or night deposit facility.
- Mark each transaction in your account
record, but not while at the ATM or night deposit facility. Always save
your ATM receipts. Don’t leave them at the ATM or night deposit facility
because they may contain important account information.
- Compare your records with the account
statements you receive.
- Don’t lend your debit card to anyone.
- Remember, do not leave your card at the
ATM. Do not leave any documents at a night deposit facility.
- Protect the secrecy of your Personal
Identification Number (PIN). Protect your debit card as though it were
cash. Don’t tell anyone your PIN. Don’t give anyone information regarding
your debit card or PIN over the telephone. Don’t write your PIN where it
can be discovered. For example, don’t keep a note of your PIN in your
wallet or purse.
- Prevent others from seeing you enter your
PIN by using your body to shield their view.
- If you lose your debit card or if it is
stolen, promptly notify us. You should consult the other disclosures you
have received about electronic fund transfers for additional information
about what to do if your card is lost or stolen.
- When you make a transaction, be aware of
your surroundings. Look out for suspicious activity near the ATM or night
deposit facility, particularly if it is after sunset. At night, be sure
that the facility (including the parking area and walkways) is well
lighted. Consider having someone accompany you when you use the facility,
especially after sunset. If you observe any problem, go to another ATM or
night deposit facility.
- Don’t accept assistance from anyone you
don’t know when using an ATM or night deposit facility.
- If you notice anything suspicious or if
any other problem arises after you have begun an ATM transaction, you may
want to cancel the transaction, pocket your card and leave. You might
consider using another ATM or coming back later.
- Don’t display your cash; pocket it as soon
as the ATM transaction is completed and count the cash later when you are
in the safety of your own car, home, or other secure surrounding.
- At a drive-up facility, make sure all the
car doors are locked and all of the windows are rolled up, except the
driver’s window. Keep the engine running and remain alert to your
surroundings.
- We want the ATM and night deposit facility
to be safe and convenient for you. Therefore, please tell us if you know
of any problem with a facility. For instance, let us know if a light is
not working or there is any damage to a facility. Please report any
suspicious activity or crimes to both the operator of the facility and the
local law enforcement officials immediately.
