BILL PAY SERVICE
You may use Bill Pay to make variable or recurring payments to third
parties, which are included on the vendor list you set up. You are
responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information on your vendor
list. Any changes to the vendor list must be made far enough in advance
to account for any pending payments.
Bill Pay transactions will be deducted from your account on the transmit
date you specify, provided you have sufficient funds available in your
account. You must make your payment request and select a payment at
least 5 days in advance so that your payment will be received by the
vendor by the due date. We are not responsible for any late payments
unless we fail to mail payment within two business days of the selected
scheduled payment date and that delay causes
you a loss.
EMAIL SERVICES
Bank e-mail service is available for our Internet Banking customers.
Bank e-mail may be used only for general communications.
Transaction requests and time sensitive information such as transfers
from your accounts, stop payment requests, or to report a lost or stolen
credit card, ATM card or debit card may not be made using bank e-mail.
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 disclosure 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 you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the
credit limit
- If you have Overdraft Privilege and the transfer would go over
the overdraft limit
- 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 disclosure with you
CONFIDENTIALITY
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the
transfers you make:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account
for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant
- In order to comply with government agencies or court orders
- If you give us written permission
NOTICES
All notices from us will be effective when we have mailed them or
delivered them to your last known address on our records. Notices from
you will be effective when received by us at the telephone number or the
address specified in this Disclosure. We reserve the right to change the
terms and conditions upon which this service is offered. We will mail
notice to you at least twenty-one (21) days before the effective date of
any change, as required by law. Use of this service is subject to
existing regulations governing your account and any future changes to
those regulations.
ENFORCEMENT
In the event either party brings a legal action to enforce this
Disclosure or collect amounts owing as a result of any Account
transaction, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, subject to any
limits under applicable law.
TERMINATION OF ONLINE SERVICE

use of your code

If we terminate this disclosure, no further Internet banking transfers
or bill payments will be made, including but not limited to any payments
or transfers scheduled in advance or any preauthorized recurring
payments or transfers.
OTHER PROVISIONS
There maybe a delay between the time a deposit is made and when it will
be available for withdrawal. You should review our Funds Availability
Policy to determine the availability of the funds deposited. We reserve
the right to refuse any transaction, which would draw upon insufficient
funds, exceed a credit limit, lower an account below a required balance,
or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY
If you believe that any provision of the Michigan Electronic Funds
Transfer Act has been violated you should notify the Federal Regulator
at FDIC, 500 W. Monroe, Chicago, IL 60661 or the State Regulator at the
State of Michigan, Department of Consumer & Industry Services, Officer
of Financial & Insurance Services, Division of Financial Institutions,
P.O. Box 30224, Lansing, MI 48909.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Consumer Liability:
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Access ID and/or password have been
lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible
losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your account (plus
your maximum overdraft privilege limit and/or line of credit). If you
believe your Access ID and/or password have been lost or stolen, and you
tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you
can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Access ID and/or password
without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss
or theft of your Access ID and/or password, and we can prove we could
have stopped someone from using your Access ID and/or password without
your permission if you have told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us
at once. 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 periods.
Contact in event of unauthorized transfer:
If you believe your Access ID and/or password have been lost or stolen
or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without your permission, call or write us at the telephone number or
address listed in this disclosure.
BUSINESS DAYS
For purposes of this disclosure, our Online Banking business days are
Monday through Friday. Federal Holidays are excluded. Transactions made
after 7pm EST Monday through Friday will be considered the next day’s
business. Transactions posted on Saturday, Sunday or Federal Holidays
will be considered the next day’s business.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or
write us at the telephone number or address listed below, as soon as you
can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more
information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must
hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on
which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any)
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and
explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why
you need more information
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint
or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine
whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if
the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will
correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take
up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point
of sale transaction, or a foreign initiated transfer) to
investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will
credit your account within 10 business days (20 business day if the
transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error,
so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us
to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or
question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we
may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account
for the first 30 days after the first deposit unless each of you already
has an established
account with us before this account is opened.
We will tell you the results within 3 business days after completing our
investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a
written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our
investigation.
