- Access to Digital Banking
- In addition to the hardware and software requirements above and having an Account with us, in order to use Digital Banking, you must have Credentials.

- If you suspect that an unauthorized person has access to any User’s Credentials, or believe any Credentials have been lost or stolen, or that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred funds without your permission, you must immediately notify the Bank and change your Credentials. We may, in our discretion, suspend or cancel Credentials if we suspect Credentials are being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.
- Your session time is unlimited, but to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your Account(s), we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for a specified period of time. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you login. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your authentication information and your session will continue.
- The Services are not necessarily available everywhere, and may not be available to non-residents or non-citizens of the United States. Any access or use of the Service from locations outside of the United States may increase the risk of compromising your Credentials. You agree to accept all liability for any compromise to your Credentials arising as a result of your use or access to the Service from locations outside of the United States.

If you have a line of credit, you agree that the available portion of a line of credit may be accessed through Digital Banking. By using Digital Banking, you can get Account information conveniently and immediately on your Account. Balance information shown for your deposit Accounts is the “Available Balance.” The Available Balance is the actual balance, and less any holds and certain debits plus credits which have been authorized, but not yet settled, since the close of the previous banking day, for example, debit card purchases, ATM deposits and withdrawals, cash deposits and withdrawals, wire transfers, Digital Banking transfers, ACH transactions, and other pending activity. The Available Balance may differ from your actual balance as the Available Balance may include transactions that are still subject to verification while as your actual balance may not reflect transactions that are in progress, debit card authorizations that have not posted, outstanding checks, or other withdrawals, payments, or charges.
- Fees and Monthly Service Charge. There are no fees for accessing information about your Accounts or paying bills through the Digital Banking Service or Mobile Banking Service. We are not responsible for any fees that may be billed to you by your Internet service provider. All fees associated with your account are set forth in the Fees Disclosure. You should note that depending on how you use Digital Banking, you might incur charges for
- Normal account fees and service charges;
- Any Internet provider fees; and
- An NSF-fee returned item, overdraft or similar fee may apply if you schedule payments or transfers and your available balance is not sufficient to process the transaction on the date scheduled, or in the case of a personal check, on the date when the check is presented to us for payment.
- Transaction Limitations. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of transfers and payments for security reasons. We may permit you to exceed these limits from time to time at our sole discretion. Payments and transfers may only be made to and from Accounts in the United States, and only in U.S. Dollars. We also may deny or limit transactions for security reasons. We may refuse to permit an Digital Banking Service or Mobile Banking Service transaction at any time and without prior notice if we believe it may violate applicable law.
- Accuracy of Information. We assume no responsibility for the accuracy or timeliness of information provided by, or retrieved from, other institutions or other parties to your transactions. You agree to provide us with prior written notice of any changes in your designated Accounts with payees and other institutions that would affect our right or ability to process Service transfers or payments. If a transfer or payment instruction identifies a Payee or a financial institution by name and account or other identifying number, we and other financial institutions may process the transaction solely on the basis of the number, even if it identifies a different person or entity from what is indicated in the instruction. We have no obligation to identify and investigate discrepancies between names and numbers.
- Other Links. The Website, Digital Banking, and the Mobile App may contain links to third party websites and services, over which the Bank has no control. You acknowledge and agree that the Bank does not endorse, verify, or make any representations regarding these third-party websites and services and is not responsible for the availability of, and any liability arising from, any such third party websites and services. The Bank is not liable to you or any other party for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of these third-party websites and services.

We may on a regular basis perform maintenance on our equipment or system, which may result in interrupted service or errors in Digital Banking or Mobile Banking. We also may need to change the scope of our Services from time to time. We will attempt to provide prior notice of such interruptions and changes but cannot guarantee that such notice will be provided. We make no representation that Services will be uninterrupted or error free. Our sole obligation to you arising out of (i) the non-availability of Digital Banking or Mobile Banking, or (ii) an interruption or delay in providing Digital Banking or Mobile Banking shall be to use commercially reasonable efforts to resume such Services. The foregoing shall constitute our entire liability and your exclusive remedy. In no event shall the Bank or any of our respective officers, directors, employees, agents or subcontractors be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including lost profits (even if we are advised of the possibility thereof) arising in any way out of the installation, use, or maintenance of any computer equipment or Digital Banking. However, nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have under federal law or otherwise provided in this Agreement.
The Bank will not be responsible for any delay, failure in performance or interruption of service, resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God, acts of civil or military authorities, civil disturbances, terrorism, wars, strikes or other labor disputes, fires, transportation contingencies, interruptions in telecommunications or Internet services or network provider services, failure of equipment and/or software, other catastrophes or any other occurrences which are beyond the Bank’s reasonable control. - Suspension of Service.

- Underwriting and Service Agreements. In order to use Digital Banking to use the remote deposit capture service and stop payments (using either a scanner or a mobile phone), you must have executed and delivered to the Bank any required separate agreements and/or enrollment request forms governing those Services. Any use of remote deposit capture or stop payments through Digital Banking is subject to this Business Digital Banking Agreement and any additional terms and conditions that we may provide you relating to your use of those Services. You may be required to perform additional security procedures with respect to those Services.
- Refusal of the Bank to Honor Instructions. The Bank will not be obligated to honor, in whole or in part, any transaction or instruction that: (a) is not in accordance with this Agreement, an agreement governing an Account, or any other agreement between the Bank and you; (b) the Bank has reason to believe it may not have been authorized by you or any third person whose authorization the Bank believes is necessary; (c) the Bank has reason to believe it may involve funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process preventing its withdrawal; (d) would violate any applicable provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any applicable rule or regulation of any other federal or state regulatory authority; (e) is not in accordance with any other requirement of the Bank’s applicable policies, procedures, or practices; or (f) the Bank has reasonable cause not to honor for the Bank’s or your protection.
- Account Designations/Authorizations.
- The Master User will oversee your use of the Services and serve as your primary contact with the Bank with respect to the Services. The Master User will have the authority to act on your behalf in all matters with respect to Digital Banking. Your designated Master User must, in your discretion, possess the business knowledge, authority, technical capability, and trustworthiness appropriate for an individual charged with controlling the rights of other individual Users to access your banking information and conduct financial transactions on your behalf. Initially, the Master User will be designated during the enrollment process. The Master User will have access to all the Services and related Accounts available to you. The Master User will be able to grant access and authority to Sub-Users having a degree of access and authority less than that of the Master User’s level of access and authority with respect to the Accounts and the Services. The Master User may grant such access and authority to a Sub-User within Digital Banking.
- You certify that each User is authorized to use such User’s Credentials. You represent that each User has the requisite authority from your organization to give instructions or requests within the access capability associated with such Credentials (including, as applicable, general authority over the movement of funds in your Accounts). You agree that you are responsible for any activity connected with any User that you add including the Master User you designate, as well as any Sub-User designated by the Master User.
- As the owner of the business(s) Account(s) linked to Digital Banking, you are responsible for informing the Bank any time a person associated with your business and listed as an Authorized Representative or Master User, as applicable, has his or her authority revoked. The Bank may continue to recognize the authority of an Authorized Representative or Master User until it has received and has had a reasonable time to act upon written notice from you that such person is no longer authorized to transact business on an Account. Upon your designation of a new Master User, we will provide initial Credentials to the new Master User.Digital You must promptly notify the Bank of the removal/termination of a Master User, provided in no event shall said notice be delivered more than one (1) Business Day after the removal/termination, by calling us at 1-877-367-8178, sending us a secure message through the Digital Banking Services, or visiting a Premier branch location and speaking with one of our bankers. You are responsible for the actions of person who have had their authority to access and use the Services revoked until you give the Bank notice of revocation of such authority and the Bank has had adequate time to act on such notice.
- You are responsible for ensuring that the authority of a User (or Users) to access the Services are revoked when such User(s) is/are no longer authorized to access the Services (including, without limitation, when such User has left your employment). In addition, you are responsible for ensuring the authority of a User with respect to a particular Service (or Services) is revoked when such User is no longer authorized to access such particular Service(s) (including without limitation, when such User’s employment with your organization is terminated or his or her responsibilities or position change within your organization). The Master User shall have the right to revoke access of a Sub-User.
- The Master User will have control of all Credentials of Sub-Users and will have the ability to grant or deny access to certain functionality of the Services to Sub-Users. At any time, the Master User may (1) change the status of a Sub-User to “frozen” to prevent the Sub-User from accessing Digital Banking, (2) delete a Sub-User or fully and permanently disable a Sub-User’s access, or (3) establish new Credentials for any Sub-User.
- For each User, the Master User may designate for certain Services the permitted activity level – “Submit” or “Authorize” - for each linked Account as well as establish any applicable dollar limits with respect to either permission. You agree that, by granting a User “Submit” permission, you will be allowing that User to initiate and “create” the transfer of funds and perform other services as provided under this Business Digital Banking Agreement. “Authorize” permission allows a User to view Account transactions and approve and “release” the transactions created by a User with Submit permission. The Bank recommends that you not do so, but at your option, following your execution of an informed consent acknowledgement, you may designate a User as having both Submit and Authorize permission.
- Users with “View eDocuments” access can only view eStatements for applicable Account(s) but are not granted other abilities such as, but not limited to, access to balances, transaction history, funds transfers, or Account maintenance.
- You will need to designate which Accounts will be utilized for payments and transfers. If you designate an Account that requires more than one signature for the withdrawal or transfer of funds, you agree that we may act upon any instruction that is accompanied by Credentials designated by you or your User for that Account and the Service in question. (Note: This means that we may act upon the instruction of only ONE person, even though the signature card for the Account in question requires two or more signatures on transactions—for example, transactions by check.) As long as an instruction pertaining to a particular Service is accompanied by the designated Credentials, the transaction will be deemed authorized by you or the User, as applicable. The terms of this Agreement will override any Account documents, corporate resolutions, or signature cards as to this issue.
- You authorize us to follow the instructions we receive through the Digital Banking Service relating to your Accounts and to charge and credit your Accounts according to those instructions. If you or any User gives Credentials or make Credentials available to another person, you authorize that person to access your Accounts through Digital Banking and to give the Bank instructions relating to your Accounts as a User. You also authorize us to comply with those instructions even if that person exceeds your authorization. You will maintain internal controls and procedures within your organization to safeguard Credentials and access to Digital Banking. If any User fails to protect and secure Credentials, you are solely responsible for any actions or transactions that may occur as a result. The Bank has no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person who uses your Credentials. You agree that you are liable for any transaction received by the Bank that includes your Credentials. The Bank assumes all transactions authorized by Credentials are legitimate and the Bank has no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person or determining the validity of any transaction received using Credentials. You are responsible for familiarizing all Users with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. When you sign onto Digital Banking using your Credentials, you authorize us to follow the instructions we receive relating to your Accounts and to charge and credit your Accounts according to those instructions. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or regulation, you will be deemed to have expressly authorized any Digital Banking transaction or Services:
- initiated using any Master User or Sub-User Credentials and when the Bank has complied with any security procedures that were agreed to between you and the Bank, even if you did not initiate, authorize, or consent to the transaction;
- initiated by you, at your direction, with your Credentials, or with your consent (whether expressed or implied);
- initiated by an agent or authorized representative with respect to any Account which you may access through Digital Banking;
- initiated by any person (or that person’s agent) who is the owner or co-owner of any Account which you may access through Digital Banking;
- which results in the transfer of funds between Accounts you may access through Digital Banking, even if subsequent transfers out of the Accounts benefit someone else;
- which is to or for your benefit (for example, the payment of a debt for which you are partially or fully liable); or
- Which you contend is unauthorized, unless you cooperate fully with us in our investigation of the transaction, assign to us your right of recovery against the wrongdoer if we reconstitute your Account, and cooperate fully with us in the recovery of any loss we sustain and the prosecution of any wrongdoer.
- Security Procedures and Responsibilities.
- You acknowledge that we may employ or make available, or require that you employ, various tools and procedures that are designed to assist in identifying suspicious online behavior, protect against potentially unauthorized transactions being initiated through Digital Banking, and protect sound operation of the Digital Banking system as described in this Section (the “Security Procedures”). You agree:
- To comply with all security measures and procedures described in this Business Digital Banking Agreement or as employed or made available in a Service as may be modified from time to time.
- That the purpose of these Security Procedures is for verification of authenticity and not to detect an error on the transmission or content of any instructions, that no Security Procedure for the detection of any such error has been agreed upon between the Bank and you, and that the Bank is not responsible for any error in the transmission or content of any instruction.
- That, following consideration of the Security Procedures proposed herein, the Bank’s systems and procedures established for providing the Services under this Business Digital Banking Agreement, including without limitation the Bank’s Security Procedures, are commercially reasonable.
- If instructions (or a request for cancellation or amendment of instructions you provided) received by the Bank purports to have been transmitted or authorized by you following the Security Procedures, it will be deemed effective as your entry (or request) and you shall be obligated to pay the Bank in accordance with such instructions even though the instructions (or request) were not authorized by you, provided that the Bank accepted the instructions in good faith and acted in compliance with the Security Procedures
- The Security Procedures with regard to instructions transmitted to the Bank via a Service may include the following:
- User ID: the authorization of Users and the assignment of individual user IDs for such Users.
- Password: the creation by each User of an individual user Password, which must be used in conjunction with a user ID to access the Services.
- One Time Passwords: a one-time password or code that is sent to User the first time a User utilizes a new device or when a User initiates certain high risk transactions. In addition to the high risk transactions designated by the Bank, Master Users will be able to add or define certain additional specific high risk transactions within Digital Banking.
- Dual Control: the use of a system whereby a User is given a “Submit” permission to provide instructions to the Bank. However, the instructions do not become valid until a second User given “Authorize” permission provides a secondary approval to the “release” of the instructions to the Bank.
- If made available within a Service, you are required to put in place internal controls to ensure that all requests for an external transfer of funds in using the Services are approved by a person other than the person inputting, sending, or delivering the request to the Bank (“Dual Controls”). This is created through the use of the “Submit” and “Authorize” permissions for a User. If you determine that, notwithstanding the Bank’s requirement, you wish the Bank to accept and process external funds transfer requests with the approval of only one User, you understand and agree that in the event of unauthorized access to the Accounts, you will be responsible for such access if such access could have been prevented through the use of Dual Control and you elected to decline this additional security. The Bank will have no liability to you for unauthorized access if you waive your protections by electing not to utilize Dual Controls. You understand and agree that the Master User has the functionality within the Services to remove Dual Controls for various Services at their option. You understand and agree that if you are utilizing Dual Controls and a Master User changes this setting, in the event of unauthorized access to the Accounts, you will be responsible for such access if such access could have been prevented through the use of Dual Control and your Master User has elected to decline this additional security. The Bank will have no liability to you for unauthorized access if your Master User waived your protections by opting out of Dual Controls.
- The Bank may, in its sole discretion, use callbacks or other verification methods to verify instructions given to the Bank. You agree that the Bank’s use of callbacks is not required under this Business Digital Banking Agreement or the Services description and the Bank’s failure to use callbacks to verify any request shall not be deemed to be a violation of the Security Procedures set forth in this Business Digital Banking Agreement or a Service description.
- The Bank shall be entitled to rely on any written notice or other written communication contained in a secure email purported to be from you, which is received via the Bank’s digital banking platform, and such communication shall be deemed to be authorized by you.
- The Bank, in its sole discretion, may refuse to process or abide by any instructions from you in the event: (a) the Bank has a good faith belief that the instructions are not authentic; (b) the instructions are incomplete; (c) the Entry, instructions, and/or identity of the purported User cannot be verified in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank; (d) there are insufficient collected funds in the Account to cover the instructions; or (e) any other condition or requirement for the processing of the instructions, as set forth in this Agreement, any agreement governing your Account with the Bank, or any deposit account or funds transfer agreement between you and the Bank, as amended, is unsatisfied.
- You are responsible for maintaining current software upgrades and patch management. Additionally, anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spyware programs and firewalls shall be maintained on all your systems, User computers and access devices. You agree that the Bank shall not have access to any Passwords and can only reset such Passwords.
- You shall be responsible for internal and external intrusion testing of your network system.
- You have sole responsibility for ensuring that your Computers used to access and make use of the Services are within your custody and control, secure and free from all types of electronic viruses and malware that may compromise their security or the security of the Computers. You shall immediately notify the Bank if you have knowledge or suspect that the Computers that access the Services (or Computers connected to the same LAN as those Computers) have been infected with any virus, worm, malware, or similar malicious program. You acknowledge and understand that the Services are accessed through the Internet, which is a public system over which the Bank has no control and that, accordingly, you should only use a computer or other electronic device to enter any request under the Services that is in the secured location and that is used only by your Users and that your network and network hardware is secure. We are not responsible to you for any loss or damages suffered by you as a result of the failure of systems or software used by you to initiate or process banking transactions whether such transactions are initiated or processed directly with our systems or through a third-party service provider. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the adequacy of Computers, systems, and software utilized by you to process banking transactions and the ability of such systems and software to do so accurately.
- You are responsible for maintenance and connectivity of telecommunication with your ISP (Internet service provider). In the event the Bank is experiencing issues with the Service, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, attempt to notify you of such issues.
- You agree that conventional email is not a secure method of communication over the Internet and we recommend that you NOT send confidential or sensitive information to us by conventional email. If you need to contact us, please visit a branch, call us at 1-877-367-8178, or send us a secure message through the Digital Banking Service.
- You agree to maintain the confidentiality and control of all Credentials and Computers and to take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the Credentials and Computers and prevent unauthorized access to your Account(s) and any Credentials and Computers. You shall take all commercially reasonable measures and exercise all commercially reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized access, disclosure, or use of all Credentials and Computers associated with or necessary for your use of the Services. You are responsible for the security of all such Credentials and Computers. The Bank will have no liability if you or your employees disclose the Credentials or disclose the Security Procedures. Any such disclosure will be treated as your consent to provide this information to that third party and provide that party with access to your Account. You also agree that if we alert you to suspicious online behavior or potentially unauthorized transactions, you are solely responsible for acting on that alert and that we may conclusively assume that you have approved such behavior or transaction if you fail to respond promptly to any such alert.
- You agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that Credentials are assigned and accessible only to Users who have authority to access and use the Services and your Account(s). You agree to train such persons with respect to the proper use and implementation of the Security Procedures and Credentials and to provide ongoing and regular oversight and monitoring of those procedures, any Users. You agree to establish and maintain your own internal security procedures and controls to ensure and promote the protection and confidentiality of the Security Procedures and the Credentials. You will be solely responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you or a third party resulting directly or indirectly from your failure to comply with the required Security Procedures or implement adequate internal security procedures or controls. Additional Users added to your Account(s) are added at your sole risk and responsibility.
- Your use of a Service constitutes your agreement that the Security Procedures for that Service are commercially reasonable. We may change our Security Procedures at any time and will notify you in advance of any such change. You agree to promptly implement the change upon receipt of our notice. Use of the Service after we provide notice of a change constitutes your acceptance of the changed Security Procedures. We may deny you access to a Service if you do not accept an updated Security Procedure or execute a proper waiver of the additionally offered security products.
- We may also set limits for a Service, including but not limited to funds transfers, bill payment, remote deposit capture, and any other Services contemplated by this Business Digital Banking Agreement.
- The Bank shall be fully protected in relying on the correct Credentials and absent a breach of security in the Bank’s internal systems, or any circumstances where the Bank does not act in good faith, the Bank shall have no responsibility for and you assume full responsibility for, any erroneous, fraudulent, mistaken, illegal, or wrongful use of the Services by any User or resulting from a breach of security, including a breach of security occurring on or in connection with your systems, including without limitation any use of the Services resulting from viruses, trojans, worms, phishing, pharming, keylogging, or other fraudulent activity enabled by malware or other destructive or disrupted components, regardless of the source or cause. Regardless of any claim of unauthorized access, you will be responsible for any transaction instructions given following authentication using the Security Procedures.

For each of the listed Alerts, you will be required to select the Account for which you would like to receive the Alerts and choose whether Alerts will be sent by email, SMS or push notification, or any combination of the three. You may also select the timing for Alerts. Premier Bank reserves the right to change or remove any and all Alerts associated with the Alerts Service. Premier Bank shall have no liability for failure to provide an Alert or for removing such Alert.

In addition to the Alerts set forth above, certain default Alerts are provided for purposes of account security and are triggered by events such as changes to your personal information or certain transfer-related activity. Premier Bank reserves the right to change or remove any and all Alerts associated with the Alerts Service. Premier Bank shall have no liability for failure to provide an Alert or for removing such Alert.
- Unavailability of Services. You acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any Alert may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) outside of our control, including factors affecting your wireless service provider and coverage in your area. We do not guarantee the delivery, timeliness, or accuracy of the contents of each Alert. The Service is subject to transmission limitations and service interruptions. You will promptly notify us by calling 1-877-367-8178 if you are unable, for any reason to receive SMS Alerts. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Premier Bank and its directors, officers, employees, third party service providers, and agents free and harmless from any and all losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, lost profits, and indirect or special damages, including, but not limited to, those relating to bank secrecy or financial privacy laws or regulations, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose; or any third party, whether authorized or not, obtaining information regarding your account disclosed in the Alerts.
- Non-Reliance. Alerts do not constitute records for the Account to which they pertain, rather, they will reference account records available through the Mobile App. We do not assume any additional responsibility or obligation under these terms and conditions with respect to the use of, or any transaction or eventuality involving, your account. The Alerts Service does not free you from the responsibility of safeguarding the physical security and authorized use of your account. We reserve the right to suspend, terminate, and/or modify the Alerts Service without liability at any time without prior notice to you. When we send you an Alert, it will be treated as available and received when it is posted to your account and transmitted to the current phone number, mobile device, or email address on file for your account.
- Deactivation. We may deactivate the sending of Alerts to you if your Account is not used for a purchase, ATM transaction, deposit or transfer for a period of ninety (90) days. If Alerts are deactivated for your Account and you resume use of your Account and wish to restore Alerts, you will be required to re-enroll your Account in the Alerts Service to restore Alerts.

We send SMS Alerts to you based upon the instructions you provide to us, including the mobile number you provide to us during account sign-up. You hereby acknowledge and accept that each SMS Alert may be sent to you without being encrypted and may include your name and information pertaining to your Account. Information, such as your account balance, may be included. If anyone accesses your mobile device, they may be able to view the contents of these Alerts. You are solely responsible for restricting access to your mobile device and maintaining the confidentiality of any information displayed through a SMS Alert. For help regarding SMS Alerts, access "HELP" in the Mobile App or contact us using the "CONTACT US" link in the Mobile App. You can also text the word “HELP” to 1-877-367-8178. By opening an account and receiving SMS Alerts, you are consenting to receive SMS Alerts and other messages delivered via text message to your mobile device. Message and data rates may apply to your use of SMS Alerts. See your wireless provider for pricing plan details. If you wish to stop receiving text messages, you can un-enroll in SMS Alerts by texting “SUSPEND” or “STOP” to 1-877-367-8178. We will not be liable for any damages or losses once you un-enroll from SMS Alerts.
- Responsibility. It is your responsibility to: (i) ensure the security of your mobile device; (ii) determine if your wireless provider supports SMS; and (iii) ensure your mobile device is capable of receiving SMS Alerts. You are solely responsible for any fees imposed of any kind whatsoever by your wireless service provider in connection with SMS Alerts.

In accordance with the NACHA Rules, Customer must report an unauthorized ACH debit entry to the Customer’s Account by the established deadline on the Business Day following the settlement date of the unauthorized entry. Otherwise, the Customer’s sole recourse shall be against the originator of the transaction.

Examples of biometric data collected for these purposes include your normal behavioral activity in Digital Banking such as your individual keystroke dynamics, typing cadence, swiping habits, and your normal hesitations or pauses when interacting with us. This information is gathered to continually build a profile of your normal behavior against which new access is compared to identify aberrations that signal additional authentication measures to ensure it is you accessing your accounts. This information is not sold or used for any other purposes besides the described authentication use. This information will not be retained longer than three (3) years after your last use of Digital Banking and is not retained in any manner that is personally identifiable to you other than in your use of Digital Banking.

TRANSFERS BETWEEN YOUR PREMIER BANK ACCOUNTS SCHEDULE
- Authorization of Transfers. When you initiate a transfer between your accounts, you authorize the Bank to debit funds from the account indicated (the “Funding Account”) and transfer them to the second account (the “Receiving Account”).
- Types of Transfers. Subject to any applicable transfer limitations set by Premier Bank, Digital Banking permits you to transfer funds from a deposit Account to any other deposit Account, from a deposit Account to a line of credit or loan Account to make payments, or from a line of credit Account (i.e. borrowing from the credit account) to a deposit Account. When initiating a new scheduled transfer, the “transfer date” is the date you enter for the transfer of fund from one Account to another. You should always check Digital Banking for the current balance in a given Account. However, generally, the following timing will apply to transfers.
- Immediate. One-time transfers that transfer funds from a deposit Account to another deposit Account or to or from a line of credit Account will generally be processed simultaneously if the transfer request is made before 11:00 p.m. Eastern on a business day. For example, if you transfer funds from Account 1 to Account 2, the funds will be debited from Account 1 and credited to the available balance in Account 2 simultaneously. The funds will be available immediately upon the transfer for withdrawal from Account 2 through an ATM or debit card transaction or at a teller window, and will also be available to honor checks or other items presented for payment against Account 2 in the nightly processing following the transfer. If we receive your transfer instructions after 11:00 p.m. Eastern, the transferred funds will be credited to your Account as of the next business day following the date you initiated the transfer.
- Scheduled Transfers. Scheduled transfer of funds from a deposit Account to a line of credit or loan Account will be processed as follows: (1) the transfer will be debited from your deposit Account when you execute the transfer on the transfer date (regardless of the day or time we receive your instructions); and (2) the transfer will be credited to Account during our nightly processing of the loan Account. The transfer will be credited to your line of credit or loan Account on the transfer date if (i) the transfer date you designate is a business day and (ii) we receive your instruction to transfer the funds to your loan Account no later than 11:00 p.m. Eastern on the transfer date. If you designate a non-business day as the transfer date, or if we receive your transfer instructions after 11:00 p.m. Eastern on the transfer date, the transferred funds will be credited to your loan Account as of the next business day following the transfer date.
- Scheduled Recurring Transfers. You may also schedule automatically recurring transfers that will occur on the date you schedule.
- Cancelling Transfers. A one-time, immediate transfer to another account cannot be cancelled or edited after it has been submitted in Digital Banking. Future-dated and recurring transfers can be cancelled or edited as long as the transfer has not been processed. You can view the transfers that you are able to cancel or edit by going to the Scheduled Transfers section within Digital Banking. In the event you are unable to stop the transfer through Digital Banking, please contact us at 1-877-367-8178.
- Limitations and Dollar Amounts for Internal Transfers. We reserve the right to impose hold times and limits on the frequency, number, and dollar amounts of transactions you can perform using Digital Banking. Transfers from deposit accounts are limited to collected, available funds in the deposit account. Additionally, transfers from a credit account to one of your deposit Accounts may not exceed your available credit limit. If there are insufficient funds in a deposit account or the amount of credit available under your credit line is less than the amount you seek to transfer, the transfer will not be completed in whole or in part.
- Bank Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. Premier Bank will use its best efforts to properly complete transfers you request. However, the Bank is not liable if the transfer cannot be completed due to any of the following circumstances:
- If you do not have adequate available funds or credit in a Funding Account to complete a transaction from that account;
- If the Funding account has been closed or if it has been restricted due to suspected fraud, the Bank being made aware of a claim on the account adverse to your interests, or by a court order such as a garnishment or other legal process.
- If the Service is not working properly and you knew or were notified by us that the system was not working properly, or if the Service problem should have been apparent to you, when you attempted to authorize a transfer or payment.
- If you have not properly followed Digital Banking instructions on how to make a transfer or payment or if your computer or device fails or malfunctions when you attempted to authorize a transfer or payment.
- If you have not given the Bank complete, correct and current instructions so that the Bank can make a transfer or payment.
- If circumstances beyond the Bank’s control prevent making a transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that the Bank has taken. Such circumstances include delays or losses of payments caused by telecommunications outages, postal strikes, actions of third parties (such as payees), equipment failures, and acts of god.
- Customer Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Use. You are responsible for all transfers and payments you authorize using Digital Banking. If you permit other persons to use Digital Banking or your secure login profile, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize from your account.
- Applicability of Digital Banking Agreement. The Transfers Between Your Premier Bank Accounts Service and this Schedule are subject to the General Terms and Conditions contained within the Digital Banking Agreement (the “Agreement”). To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Schedule and the terms of the Agreement with respect to this Service, the terms of this Schedule will control with respect to this Service.
EXTERNAL TRANSFERS SERVICE SCHEDULE
- External Transfers Generally. The External Transfer Service allows you to quickly transfer funds to or from certain accounts at other U.S. financial institutions and your eligible accounts at Premier Bank through the Digital Banking Service. External transfers are only available for cash balances held in eligible accounts and may not be used to directly transfer securities or other non-cash items between financial institutions. The Bank will process External Transfers as agent on your behalf by means of the Automated Clearing House network pursuant to this Agreement and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). All External Transfers are subject to NACHA rules.
- Identifying Eligible Accounts. Eligible Premier Bank accounts include personal checking, personal saving, trust checking, trust savings accounts, loans, or lines of credit for which Digital Banking Services have been established and which are in good standing and without an overdraft or insufficient funds item within the last three statement cycles. Besides being consumer accounts, eligible accounts at the financial institution must have the same ownership or common ownership as the accounts at Premier. Common ownership exists where the individual Premier customer is at least one of the individual owners of both accounts even though other owners may differ. Premier may also approve non-Premier accounts where the individual has the authority to transfer funds although the legal ownership of the account differs from that of the Premier account such as situations where one of the accounts is held in a trust where the individual Premier customer is a grantor or trustee of one account and an individual owner of the second account. You agree to provide information to us to validate the eligibility of both the internal and external accounts. Other validation methods may be used by Premier in our sole discretion. Transfers involving ineligible accounts are prohibited. You are solely responsible for properly setting up and identifying all external accounts that you want to establish for purposes of the External Transfer Service and for providing the correct information to enable us to complete the transfer. Premier is not responsible for transfers to unintended accounts due to incorrect information from you.
- Scheduling Transfers. You authorize Premier to debit your Premier account and credit your external account (an “outbound transfer”) OR to debit your external account and credit your Premier Account (an “inbound transfer”) as specified in each transfer request. Transfers can be scheduled on either a one-time or recurring basis. Processing of one-time External Transfers may be initiated immediately or scheduled for initiation at a future date. The recurring transfer feature may be used when a set amount is transferred at regular intervals. The cut-off time for External Transfers within a business day is 7:00 p.m. Eastern. Any External Transfer initiated after this time or on a day that is not considered a business day will be considered as being initiated on the next business day. Future-dated or recurring External Transfers scheduled for a weekend or non-business day will be processed on the next business day. External Transfers will appear as “In Process” until fully processed. An External Transfer may be cancelled before 7:00 p.m. Eastern on the day before it is scheduled to occur. An External Transfer may not be cancelled once it reflects “in process” or processed.”
- Transaction Limits. We reserve the right to impose hold times and limits on the frequency, number, and dollar amounts of transactions you can perform using Digital Banking. Any External Transfer initiated after the cutoff time or on a day that is not a business day counts toward the applicable limit for the next business day. Premier Bank may change your dollar limits at any time. Any decrease will be subject to notice as required by law.
- External Transfer Funds Availability and Processing. You should allow three business days for an External Transfer to be fully completed and the funds available in the receiving account. Longer delays may occur for inbound transfers due to exceeding business day, weekly, or monthly limits account status (including whether the Account is considered a “New Account” under our Funds Availability Policy), and other restrictions. The availability of funds in an outbound transfer is subject to policies and conditions of the receiving institution and Premier is not responsible for any delays in this regard. Under NACHA rules, any credit to your Premier Bank account or your account at a third party financial institution shall be provisional until such credit has been finally settled by us or by the third party financial institution holding your account. You acknowledge that if we do not receive final settlement for an External Transfer for any reason, we shall charge back the amount of such transfer from the account being debited or the account being credited, as applicable, or any other of your accounts or claim a refund from you. You authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable account if the debit is returned from the other account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds. If you exceed the External Transfer business day, weekly, or monthly limits, the Bank may, in its sole discretion accept or reject the external transfer on the following business day. Business days are M-F, excluding Federal Holidays. The Bank will notify you of any rejected transfers. You agree to accept such notices in accordance with applicable agreements with the Bank, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing such notices to you. External Transfers may be delayed or blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block an External Transfer instruction that you have initiated, we will notify you.
- Insufficient Funds. In the event that there are not sufficient funds available in your deposit account to cover your payment obligation, you agree that we may offset, without prior notice or demand, any account held by you to the extent permitted by law. If the deposit account does not have sufficient available funds on the scheduled date, we may elect not to initiate one or more of the transfers. If we do elect to initiate the External Transfer, it may cause an overdraft in your account in which case you shall be liable for the overdraft and any overdraft fees, as set forth in the Terms and Conditions of Your Account.
- Representations and Warranties. With each requested transfer, you agree, represent and warrant that:
- Your relationship with the other financial institution is independent of your relationship with Premier and that Premier has no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the other financial institution.
- Both the Premier account and the external account are eligible accounts for purposes of this Service.
- You are either an owner of or otherwise authorized to conduct transactions for both the Premier account and the external account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds between the Premier Account and the external account. If you are a joint owner of either account, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized by all of the other joint owners to transfer funds between the accounts as proposed and (ii) Premier may rely on your instructions without liability to the other owners.
- All External Transfers are subject to the terms and conditions affecting both the Premier account and the external account, there are no restrictions or transfer limitations implemented by the external financial institution affecting the transfer, and that Premier will not be liable or responsible for any fees, costs, losses or damages incurred as result of any such restrictions or limitations.
- There are sufficient funds available in the external account for any inbound transfers or in the Premier Account for any outbound transfers.
- The external account is located in the United States.
- Cancellation of External Transfers. The Bank reserves the right to refuse to complete any External Transfer. We will notify you if we decide to refuse an External Transfer; provided however, this notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited External Transfer.
- Availability of the External Transfer Service.Access to the External Transfer Service is generally available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, except during maintenance periods and during periods when access to the Digital Banking Service is temporarily interrupted as a result of power outages, equipment and/or software malfunctions or failures. The Bank will not be liable under this Agreement for failure to provide access. Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate access to all or any part of the External Transfer Service at any time and for any reason without notice or refund of previously incurred fees. We will attempt to notify you by posting a notice on our website in the event of any technical difficulties or other occurrence that may impede access to the External Transfer Service for a prolonged period of time.
- Applicability of Digital Banking Agreement. The External Transfer Service and this Schedule are subject to the General Terms and Conditions contained within the Digital Banking Agreement (the “Agreement”). To the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Schedule and the terms of the Agreement with respect to this Service, the terms of this Schedule will control with respect to this Service.
ONLINE BILL PAY SERVICE SCHEDULE
- Bill Pay Service Generally. You can make one-time or recurring payment to others from your account using the Bank’s bill payment service (the “Bill Pay Service”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Bill payments can be accessed through the Digital Banking portal or the Mobile Banking App. The payment amount for each bill payment transaction requested will be debited from your Account on the scheduled date reflected in the Bill Pay Service. With Bill Payment, you may (1) make current, future or recurring payments to certain companies or individuals you select, and (2) make current, future or recurring payments directly to your loan accounts with us. When you schedule a bill payment using the Bill Pay Service, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions and transfer funds from your Payment Account with us to the payee. We may refuse to act on your instructions if sufficient funds are not available in your Payment Account on the date you want us to process your payment. We reserve the right to refuse to make any bill payment.
- Payment Scheduling.
- To schedule a payment, you must select a date your payment will be debited (such date, the “Scheduled Payment Date”) for each Payee. You should allow 3-5 business days to process most payments. Bill payments are transmitted Monday through Friday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. If a payment is initiated after this time or on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be processed on the next business day. The Scheduled Payment Date is the date on which Premier will issue the payment to the party you intend to pay (your “Payee”). The first possible Scheduled Payment Date will be reflected in the Bill Pay Service but you may select later Scheduled Payment Dates. The date your Payee receives or processes the payment may be later than the Scheduled Payment Date. It is your obligation to make certain you schedule payments appropriately so that your Payees receive the funds when due. The Bank will not be liable if you do not authorize a bill payment soon enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the Payee by the time it is due; or if the Bank makes a timely bill payment but the Payee nevertheless does not credit your payment promptly after receipt.
- The necessary funds must be available in the Account from which bill payments will be debited (your “Payment Account”) on the Scheduled Payment Date. If sufficient funds are not available and the Bank cannot process the payment from your account on the Scheduled Payment Date, the bill payment will be canceled. Please note that your available current balance will not reflect scheduled payments from the Bill Pay Service until the earlier of the Scheduled Payment or date the item is negotiated by the Payee.
- You may make bill payments in any amount up to $9,999.99. The total amount of bill payments in any single business day may not be more than $20,000.00.
- You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at the intervals identified in the Bill Pay Service.
- Payment Method. The Bank may choose the payment method by which to remit funds to your Payee. The available payment methods include electronic payments through an automated clearinghouse or payment by a paper check that is then mailed using the U.S. Postal Service. While an electronic payment is our preferred payment method, this is not always possible. If a paper check is used, the check may be mailed before your Scheduled Payment Date to allow sufficient time for it to reach the Payee. You should anticipate there could be delays in mail service that affect when the payment is actually received by the Payee, possibly resulting in late payment fees. The Bank will not be responsible for any delays caused by mail services. The payment will not be deducted from your Payment Account until the check is actually negotiated by the Payee.
- Payees. You may designate Payees through the Bill Pay Service. You must provide sufficient information about each Payee to properly direct a payment to that Payee and permit the Payee to identify the correct account to credit your payment. This information may include without limitation, the name and address of the Payee and your Payee account number. The Payee must have a U.S. payment address that can be verified through the ordinary course of business. Occasionally, a Payee may choose not to participate in the Bill Pay Service or may require additional information before accepting payments (e.g. they may require a payment stub, coupon or copy of the invoice). These Payees may not accept such bill payments or may not be able to process bill payments using the Bill Pay Service. In these situations, we will cooperate in your efforts to get the Payee to accept a payment but we may decline to make future payments to this Payee, and a notice will be sent to you. When you create a new Payee in the Bill Pay Service, it may take two (2) business days to set up the Payee to receive payments. You should schedule a payment to a new Payee at least ten (10) business days before any payment due date, to allow the Bill Pay Service time to set up the Payee and verify information about your account with the Payee.
- Payment Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the Bill Pay Service. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Bill Pay Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
- Stop Payment Requests. The Bill Pay Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Bill Pay Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact the Bank at 1-877-367-8178. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Bill Pay Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Bill Pay Service 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 set out in the applicable Fee Schedule.
- Processing Exceptions.
- For bill payments made to any government agency (IRS, taxes, child support, court fees, etc.), the Bank has limited ability to research any issues that may arise due to the government’s strict adherence to the Consumer Privacy Act. The Bank will not be responsible for any late fees or penalties that may be incurred by these types of payments.
- Bill payments cannot be processed internationally or in the following U.S. territories: Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Bill payments cannot be processed in the following International Military Bases: Armed Forces Americas (AA), Armed Forces Europe, Asia, Canada, Middle East (AE), and Armed Forces Pacific (AP).

- Bank Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. Premier Bank will use its best efforts to properly complete transfers you request. However, the Bank is not liable if the payment cannot be completed due to any of the following circumstances:
- If you do not have adequate available funds or credit in the Payment Account to complete a transaction from that account;

- you have not given the Bank complete, correct and current instructions so that the Bank can make a transfer or payment.

MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICE SCHEDULE
- Generally.This Mobile Deposit Agreement (this “Mobile Deposit Schedule”) between you and the Bank governs your use of the mobile deposit services (“Mobile Deposit Services”) offered through the Mobile App. The Bank offers the Mobile Deposit Services under this Mobile Deposit Agreement in association with one or more deposit accounts maintained by you with the Bank. The Mobile Deposit Service provides you the ability to access and make deposits to your designated accounts using a mobile device with a camera (referred to herein as a “Capture Device,” as further defined below). The Mobile Deposit Service enables you to use a compatible Capture Device to scan an image of original paper checks ("Original Checks") that are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions (each a "Check Image") and to electronically submit the Check Image and associated deposit information to the Bank from your home or other remote locations using the Mobile Deposit Services for deposit into a designated account for collection thereafter by the Bank. As used in this Mobile Deposit Agreement, a “Capture Device” means any device acceptable to us that provides for the capture of Check Images and for transmission through the clearing process.
- Requirements to Use the Mobile Deposit Service. Your use of the Mobile Deposit Services is subject to the following requirements:
- To access the Mobile Deposit Service, you must have or acquire and maintain a compatible Capture Device and a wireless plan from a compatible wireless carrier. You must also use the Mobile App. You are responsible for all costs of operating the Capture Device, including without limitation all cellular and Internet service charges. The Mobile App will automatically push any updates or patches for the Mobile Deposit Service. You are responsible for updating the Mobile App when prompted to do so. You agree to implement and maintain internal security controls to protect the Capture Device and any confidential information thereon. You shall be solely responsible for protecting against unauthorized access to the Capture Device and from all losses and damages arising from any unauthorized access to the Capture Device. If you suspect your Capture Device has been lost or stolen, you must notify the Bank immediately by calling 1-877-367-8178.
- You may scan and submit Check Images for deposit to the Bank within the dollar limits ("Deposit Limits") established by the Bank. The current daily dollar limit is $2,500. In addition, the current multi-day dollar limit is $5,000.00 per any 20 consecutive business days. The Bank reserves the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of deposits submitted through the Mobile Deposit Service. If you exceed the Deposit Limits, the Bank may in its sole discretion accept or refuse the Check Image deposit. If at any time the Bank accepts a Check Image deposit that exceeds the Deposit Limits, the Bank will have no obligation to do so in the future. The Bank may at any time at its sole discretion raise or lower Deposit Limits.
- Checks Deposited. You agree that you will use the Mobile Deposit Service to scan only Original Checks payable to and properly endorsed by you, drawn on financial institutions in the United States with a valid ABA/Routing Number, denominated in U.S. Dollars, and intended for deposit by you to your designated account with the Bank. All other items may be deposited by alternate methods such as in person or by mail including a completed account deposit slip. You agree that you will not use the Mobile Deposit Service to scan and deposit any checks or other items as shown below, which are considered ineligible items (each a “Prohibited Check”):
- Check Images items payable to any person or entity other than you;
- Check Images that are payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the Account to which you are depositing the item;
- Check Images of items drawn on banks located outside the United States;
- Check Images of items not payable in United States currency;
- Check Images that are illegible or otherwise do not meet the image quality requirements set forth below;
- that contain an alteration to any of the fields on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check or item is drawn;
- Images of checks previously converted to Substitute Checks (as defined in Reg. CC also known as “Check 21”);
- Images of checks that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC;
- Images of checks that are dated more than six (6) months prior to the date of transmission (e.g., a stale check);
- Deposits which exceed your daily, per item or rolling 20 business day limit; and
- Checks that have previously been submitted through the Service or another remote deposit capture service.
- Checks that are not acceptable for deposit into the account as provided in the Terms and Conditions for the account.
- Grant of Security Interest. If you deposit a Prohibited Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse the Bank for and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) the Bank may incur associated with any warranty, indemnity, or other claim related thereto. Furthermore, if, after first having obtained the Bank’s written consent to do so, you provide the Bank with an electronic representation of a substitute check for deposit into an Account instead of an original Check, you agree to indemnify the Bank for, and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) the Bank incurs because any such substitute check resulting from such electronic representation does not meet applicable substitute check standards and/or causes duplicate payments. You grant the Bank a security interest in all Accounts or other deposits, to secure your obligations to the Bank under this Addendum. This security interest will survive termination of this Agreement, or the termination of this Schedule or the Service.
- Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Mobile Deposit Service as follows: sign the back of your check with your name and add the words “For Mobile Deposit Only” or as otherwise instructed by us. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Mobile Deposit Service as we may establish from time to time.
- Image Quality.You are responsible for the image quality of the Check Image you transmit. Each Check Image must include the front and back of the check, and the following information must be readable: amount, payee name, drawer signature, date, check number, account number, routing and transfer number, MICR line, and any endorsement or other information written on the check. The quality of any Check Image must comply with the requirements established from time to time by American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. You acknowledge and agree that even if the Bank does not identify a Check Image as ineligible, the Check Image may be returned to the Bank because, among other reasons, the Check Image or any Substitute Check created from the Check Image is deemed ineligible by the financial institution upon which it is drawn or any intermediate collecting financial institution. The Bank’s failure to identify a Check Image you transmit to us as ineligible will not preclude or limit your obligations. You authorize us to process any Check Image you send to us or convert a Check Image to a Substitute Check, as defined by Check 21.
- Keeping and Destroying Checks After Imaging. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from us that we received an image you transmitted, you agree to retain the Original Check for at least sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the image transmission. We may request to view the Original Check for a variety of reasons, such as we have concerns with the accuracy or validity of the image. Upon our request, and within five (5) business days, you must deliver to us, at your expense, the Original Check. If you do not provide the Original Check in a timely manner, the deposit in question will be reversed from your Account. After sixty (60) days, you agree to destroy the check or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment. During the time the retained check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to us upon request. You are responsible if an Original Check is misused for any reason and its full destruction. You are responsible for the safekeeping of all Original Checks.

If you post after the daily cutoff time, your funds will be available the second business day. Longer delays may occur due to exceeding daily and monthly limits, account status (including whether the Account is considered a “New Account” under our Funds Availability Policy), equipment or communication failure, or other restrictions. Although the Mobile Deposit utilizes technology as a delivery method, checks deposited through this service are NOT considered "electronic direct deposits" for purposes of funds availability.

- Business Days. For determining the availability of your deposits made using Mobile Deposit, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. However, we reserve the right to delay availability based on such factors as the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, when we believe an item will not be paid, when you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid, when you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six (6) months, due to circumstances outside of our control such as an emergency or failure of computer or communications equipment, or such other factors as the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.

Any credit to your account is provisional and remains subject to final payment of the checks. You remain liable to the Bank for any returns, dishonor, errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against the Bank with respect to the items deposited.

The Bank will provide you with any notice of rejected deposit or notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because Checks were returned unpaid by the payor financial institution.
