I. ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS.

The following disclosure is provided pursuant to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E.

1. YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS.

(Notify us immediately at 785-543-6541 or after hours at 800-472-3272 if you believe your card has been lost or stolen.) Telephoning is the best way to minimize your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card without permission. If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card without your permission if you had told us, you can lose as much as $500. If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, please notify us. 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

6. FEES AND CHARGES

7. RIGHT TO STOP PAYMENT OF PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS, PROCEDURE FOR DOING SO, RIGHT TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS, AND LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO STOP PAYMENT.

If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how: Please notify us with your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. We will charge you $5 for each stop payment order you give us.

If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set). If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

8. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S 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 circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.

There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

9. IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFER

  • Telephone or write us as soon as you can if you think your statement 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 sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
  • Tell us your name and account number.
  • 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 (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 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, 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 need more time, we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days 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 submit your complaint or question in writing and 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 is made unless each of you already has an established account with us  before the account is open.  If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 business days after we complete our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If there was no error, any temporary credit that may have been made to your account will be reversed.

II. ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS

The following disclosure is provided pursuant to the Expedited Funds Availability Act and Regulation CC:

Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposit funds will be available by 9:00am on the settlement date. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. Please remember that even after we have made the funds available to you and you have withdrawn them, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 4:00pm at our Phillipsburg, Logan, Kensington, Stockton, or Atwood office, on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the time stated above or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit to be made on the next business day we are open.

Longer delays may apply........

In some cases we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225 of your deposits will be available on the first business day. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period of time under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply to you during the first thirty days your account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the settlement date. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of Cashier's, Certified, Teller's Traveler's, and Federal, State, and Local Government Checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a US Treasury Check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the tenth business day after the day of your deposit.
