These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and financial institution information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your financial institution and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers Examples of these transfers include, but are not limited to: -Electronic Check Conversion - You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills. -Electronic Returned Check – You may authorize a merchant or other payee to initiate an electronic fund transfer to collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds. -Your authorization to make these types of electronic fund transfers may be expressed in writing or implied through the posting of a sign.

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 the transfer would go over the credit limit on our overdraft line. -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.

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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time period. -Visa Card Debit – Additional limits on liability for POS transactions. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen Visa card.

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. 7. Prevent others from seeing your enter you PIN by using your body to shield their view. 8. If you lose your ATM card or if it is stolen, promptly notify us. You should consult the other disclosures you have receive about electronic fund transfers for additional information about what to do if your card is lost or stolen. 9. 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. 10. Don’t accept assistance from anyone you don’t know when using an ATM or night deposit facility. 11. If you notice anything suspicious or if any other problem arises after you have begun at ATM transaction, you may want to cancel the transaction, pocket your card and leave. You might consider using another ATM or coming back later. 12. 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. 13. At a drive up facility, make sure all the card 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. 14. 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.
