ONLINE/MOBILE BANKING SERVICE LIMITATIONS

Online/Mobile Banking Limitations: The following limitations on Online/Mobile Banking apply:

Transfers: You may make funds transfers to your other accounts as often as you like. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account, except as limited under this agreement or your deposit or loan agreements. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, or lower an account below a required balance. The credit union may set other limits on the amount of any transaction and you will be notified of those limits.

Account Information: The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. Also, the availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for any ATM deposit transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.

E-mail: You may use the e-mail to send messages to us. E-mail may not, however, be used to initiate a transfer on your account or a stop payment request. The Credit Union may not immediately receive E-mail communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action based on E-mail requests until the Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call the Credit Union at (906) 786-4623.

SECURITY OF ACCESS CODE

Initial Access: Contact the Credit Union for information on how to receive your initial password. You will use the initial password the very first time you log on to Online/Mobile Banking. After successfully accessing Online/Mobile Banking you will be prompted to change your password. We suggest for security purposes that you use at least a six digit alphanumeric password, utilizing both Capital letters and small letters. You may change your password at anytime by selecting the appropriate function from the menu within Online/Mobile Banking.

Security: The personal identification number or PIN that you select is for your security purposes. The PIN is confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You are responsible for safekeeping your PIN. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your PIN available to anyone not authorized by you to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to have or use your PIN, you understand that person may use Online/Mobile Banking to review all of your account information and make account transactions. Therefore, we are entitled to act on transaction instructions received using your PIN and you agree that the use of your PIN will have the same effect as your signature authorizing transactions.

Authorization: If you authorize anyone to use your PIN in any manner, that authority will be considered unlimited in amount and manner until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying the Credit Union and changing your PIN immediately. You are responsible for any transactions made by such person until you notify us that transactions and PIN by that person are no longer authorized and your PIN is changed. If you fail to maintain or change security of the PIN and the Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your electronic funds transfer and account services immediately.

Member Liability: You are responsible for all transfers you authorize using Online/Mobile Banking under this agreement.
