In order for us to process an Online Services transfer request, the Account that you have designated for the
debit must have sufficient funds to cover the transfer, including any overdraft protection plan coverage, and
the funds must be considered available as described in our Funds Availability Policy Disclosure. Please refer to
these Terms for any non-sufficient funds fee or other fee(s) that may be assessed. We are under no obligation to
you when we have been unable to complete a transfer request due to insufficient or unavailable funds, or due to
other circumstances out of our control, such as a system or power failure. If we are consistently unable to
complete the requested transfer due to insufficient funds in the designated debit Account, then we reserve the
right to cancel the transfer request and to revoke your Online Services privileges. If you have opted in to
overdraft services, please refer to the Overdraft Services Consent Policy provided at account opening for any
overdraft services policies related to funding your accounts and any overdraft fees.
8. Effective Timing of Internal Transactions
Online Services are available at any time of day, unless the system is undergoing maintenance. Internal Transfer
transactions submitted before 7:00 PM on a Business Day will process the same day. Transfers requested after
7:00 PM on a Business Day or requested on a non-Business Day will process on the following Business Day to the
receiving Account.
9. Effective Timing of External Transactions
Online Services are available at any time of day, unless the system is undergoing maintenance. External Transfers
submitted before 7:00 PM on a Business Day will be submitted for processing the same day.
External Transfers submitted after 7:00 PM on a Business Day will be submitted for processing the following Business Day.
External Transfers require 3 Business Days to complete processing. For example, if you submit an External
Transfer from an account you maintain with us on a Friday to an account you maintain at another financial
institution, the funds can expect to be received at the other institution on the following Tuesday.
10. External Transfer Service
You can access External Transfer Services in the same manner that you access other Online Services by using your Login Credentials and meeting any other security measures that we may institute. The External Transfer Service
enables you to transfer funds between your Eligible Account(s) that you maintain with us and your External
Account(s) that are maintained by other financial institutions.
You represent and warrant that you are either the sole owner or a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account
and the External Account and that you have all necessary legal rights, power and authority to transfer funds
between the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account. If you are a joint owner of the Eligible
Transaction Account, External Account, or both, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized
by all of the other joint owners to operate such Accounts without their consent (including without limitation to
withdraw or deposit any amount of funds to such Accounts or to even withdraw all funds from such Accounts); and
(ii) we may act on your instructions regarding such Accounts without liability to such other joint owners.
When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account
and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account or
as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External
Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account. You also 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.
We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we
are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the
following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain
sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the available balance in your
account;
- The Account to Account Transfer Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us
about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to, the correct Eligible
Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time,
issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper
execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the External Transfer Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Account once informed, but we do not
guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. As required by applicable law, we will notify you promptly if we
decide to refuse to transfer funds.
In using the Account to Account Transfer Service, you understand transfers may be returned for various reasons
such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to
research and correct the transfer to the intended Account or void the transfer and credit your Account from
which you attempted to transfer funds. You may receive notification from us.

A one-time transfer is immediate and cannot be canceled. The deadline for canceling a recurring transfer request
is 3 days prior to transfer date. If you have any questions or problems canceling the transfer, please contact
us immediately as described in the Contact Us (section 26) at the end of this document.
12. Cost of Service

not eliminated or changed with the use of Online Services. You have sole responsibility for any service fees you
incur from your telephone, internet, or wireless service providers.
13. Bill Pay Services
You can access Bill Pay Services in the same manner that you access other Online Services by using your Login
Credentials and meeting any other security measures that we may institute. You must indicate the Account that is
to be considered the designated Account to be debited for your bill-paying activities. If using a Savings or
Money Market Account, we may limit the number of transfers or withdrawals to six per month or statement period.
You must maintain sufficient available funds in the designated Account to satisfy the expected payment activity.
In order to pay bills, you will need to create a list of payees, providing the information required to log and
submit your payments accurately. We require at least 3 days as set-up time for Checks and online payments
through Bill Pay Services. If we pay your bill by issuing a Check, we may, at our discretion, send the Check to
the payee before the due date you selected. The payee may cash the Check before or after the selected due date.
If your account has insufficient funds when the payee cashes the Check and we pay the item on your behalf, you
will be responsible for paying the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees. Refer to the Fee
Schedule provided at account opening for more information. If you fail to take into account our required set-up
time and the payment is received by the payee after the due date, we are not responsible for any late charges or
other actions that may be taken by the payee due to the late payment. Please make other payment arrangements for
the payment that is due and set up the next payment to that payee through Bill Pay Services.
We assume responsibility for all reasonable efforts to process your payments through Bill Pay Services in a
timely and accurate manner. We accept no liability for any damages you may incur due to insufficient or
unavailable funds in the designated Account that may adversely affect payment processing, any inaccuracies in
the payee information supplied in regards to this payment, any mishandling or delay in posting by the payee or
the payee’s financial institution of account, or any system or postal delays or interruptions or any other
circumstances out of our control, to the extent allowed by state and federal law and the provisions of these
Terms. Also, contact us immediately as described in the Contact Us (section 26) at the end of this document if
you suspect any security breach of your Login Credentials or any unauthorized activity using Bill Pay Service.
