what password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated
to us. You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under
your password. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of
your password and agree to change your password regularly. Upon three
unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to ONLINE BANKING will
be revoked. To re-establish your authorization to use ONLINE BANKING, you must
contact us to have your password reset or to obtain a new temporary password. We
recommend that you create a password that utilizes both upper and lower case
alpha and numeric characters for purposes of security. Your password should not
be associated with any commonly known personal identification, such as social
security numbers, address, and date of birth, names of children, and should be
memorized rather than written down.
Security – You understand the importance of your role in preventing
misuse of your accounts through ONLINE BANKING and you agree to promptly examine
your paper statement for each of your Bank accounts as soon as you receive it.
You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account
number, and your personal identification information, such as your driver’s
license number and social security number. You understand that personal
identification information by itself or together with information related to
your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Your password
and Access ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and
access to your accounts. Data transferred via ONLINE BANKING is encrypted in an
effort to provide transmission security and ONLINE BANKING utilizes
identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of ONLINE
BANKING transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other.
Notwithstanding our efforts to insure that the ONLINE BANKING is secure, you
acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data
transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and
potentially can be
monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data
transfers utilizing BANK ONLINE BANKING, or e-mail transmitted to and from
us, will not be monitored or read by others.
Fees and Charges – You agree to pay the fees and charges for your use of
ONLINE BANKING Services as set forth in the current fee schedule. You agree that
all such fees and charges will be deducted from the BANK checking account
designated as the “Primary Checking Account”. If you close your Primary Checking
Account, you must contact us immediately to designate another account as your
Primary Checking Account. You agree to pay any additional reasonable charges for
services you request which are not covered by this Agreement. You are also
responsible for telephone and Internet service fees you incur in connection with
your use of ONLINE BANKING.
Posting of Transfers – Transfers initiated through ONLINE BANKING
before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on a business day are posted to your
account the same day. Transfers completed after 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard
Time) on a business day, Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday, will be posted on
the next business day. ONLINE BANKING identifies transfers based upon the Access
ID of the user who made the electronic transfer. Accordingly, you understand and
acknowledge that the View Postings screens in both the Transfer and Bill Payer
menu options of ONLINE BANKING will not reflect transfers made by multiple users
from the same account if different access Ids is used. You agree to communicate
with any other persons with authorized access to your accounts concerning any
transfers or bill payments from your accounts in order to avoid overdrafts.
Overdrafts (Order of Payments, Transfers, and other Withdrawals) - If
your account has insufficient funds to perform all electronic fund transfers you
have requested for a given business day, then:
Electronic funds transfers involving currency disbursements, like ATM
withdrawals, will have priority
Electronic fund transfers initiated through ONLINE BANKING which would result
in an overdraft of your account may, at our discretion, be cancelled;
In the event the electronic fund transfers initiated through ONLINE BANKING
which would result in an overdraft of your account are not cancelled, overdraft
charges may be assessed pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement for that
account.
Limits on Amounts and Frequency of ONLINE BANKING Transactions - The
number of transfers from BANK accounts and the amounts which may be transferred
are limited pursuant to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement and
disclosure for those accounts. If a hold has been placed on deposits
made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer
the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.
ONLINE BANKING Bill Payment Service - You must designate the BANK
account from which the payments are to be made; the complete name of the payee,
the account number, and the payee’s remittance address, all exactly as shown on
the billing statement or invoice; the amount of the payment;
and the date you want the payment to be debited from your account. If the date
you want the payment to be debited from your account is not a business day, your
account will be debited the next business day before 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard
Time). By using the ONLINE BANKING Bill Payment Service
option, you agree that, based upon instructions received under your password, we
can charge your designated account by electronic transfer, “no signature
required draft”, or by debiting and remitting funds on your behalf. You also
agree that your first ONLINE BANKING bill payment will be charges
to your Primary Checking Account. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any
payee designated by you. If we do so, we will notify you promptly.
Scheduling ONLINE BANKING Payments – If the payee is to be paid by
paper check (as indicated on the Bill Payer list), you understand and agree that
paper checks are mailed to the payee and the payee may not receive the payment
until 5 to 8 business days after the date the payment is debited from your
account. If the payee is to be paid electronically (as indicated on the Bill
Payer list), you understand and agree that the payee may not receive the payment
until 72 hours after the date the payment is debited from your account. You
understand and agree that we are not responsible for the timely delivery of mail
or the improper transmission or handling of payments by a third party such as
the failure of the bill payment payee to properly post a payment to your
account.
How to Cancel a Bill Payment – To cancel a bill payment that you have
scheduled through ONLINE BANKING, you must cancel the payment online via ONLINE
BANKING (by following the onscreen instructions) before 1:00 p.m. (Pacific
Standard Time) on the date the payment is scheduled to be debited from your
account.
Stop Payment Requests - Stopping the payment of a check is different
from the cancellation of a bill payment. Once the bill payment has been debited
from your account, you CANNOT cancel or stop a bill payment which has been paid
electronically. You may be able to stop an ONLINE BANKING bill payment paid by
paper draft by contacting us by telephone before the paper draft has cleared.
(You will have to contact us by telephone to determine if the paper draft has
cleared.) If the paper draft has not cleared, we will immediately process your
stop-payment request. We will notify you immediately if the
paper draft has already cleared. To be effective, this type of stop-payment
request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the payee-assigned
account number, the amount and scheduled date of the payment, and the ID number
from the Bill Payment View Posting Screen.
You may initiate stop-payment requests online via ONLINE BANKING only for
paper checks you have written (non-electronically) on your BANK accounts (not
ONLINE BANKING bill payer paper drafts.) Online stop-payment requests are
processed at 9:00 a.m. on the business day following the date the stop
payment has been requested online. To be effective, this type of stop-payment
request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the check number, the
amount, and the date of the check.
If you make your stop-payment request online or by telephone, we may also
require you to put your request in the form of paper writing and get it to us
within 14 days after you call. You will incur stop-payment charges as disclosed
in the current fee schedule for the applicable account. Stop-payment charges for
ONLINE BANKING bill payment paper drafts will be assessed in addition to the
stop-payment charges for the applicable account. Disclosure of Account
Information and Transfers – You understand that information about your accounts
or the transfers you make may automatically be disclosed to others. For example,
tax laws require disclosure to the government of the amount of interest you
earn, and some transactions, such as large
currency and foreign transactions must be reported to the government. We may
also provide information about your accounts to persons or companies we believe
would use the information for reasonable purposes, such as when a prospective
creditor seeks to verify information you may have given in a credit application
or a merchant calls to verify a check you have written. In addition, we
routinely inform credit bureaus when accounts are closed because they were not
handled properly. We may also seek information about you from others, such as
the credit bureau, in connection with the opening or maintaining of your account
or in connection with approving your access to ONLINE BANKING. You agree and
hereby authorize all of these transfers of information.
Periodic Statements – You will not receive a separate ONLINE BANKING
statement. Transfers to and from your accounts using ONLINE BANKING will appear
on the respective periodic paper statements for your BANK accounts.
Change in Terms – We may change any term of this Agreement at any
time. If the change would result in increased fees for any ONLINE BANKING
service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund
transfers, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of
transfers, we agree to give you notice at least 21 days before the effective
date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the
security of an account or our electronic fund transfer ONLINE BANKING. We will
post any required notice of the change in terms on the BANK ONLINE BANKING
website or forward it to you by e-mail or by postal mail. If advance notice of
the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of
the account or our electronic fund transfer ONLINE BANKING, we will notify you
of the change in terms within 30 days after the change becomes effective. Your
continued use of any or the entire subject ONLINE BANKING Services indicates
your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or
reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that
changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable
deposit agreements and disclosures.

Bill Payments – Contact us as soon as you can, if you think your paper
statement is wrong, or if you need more information about a transfer listed on

question in writing and WE DO NOT receive it in writing within 10 business days,
we may not provisionally credit your account. If we decide that there was no
error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 business days after we

debit will be made from your account.
