Confirmation of our receipt of your deposit can be verified by logging into Online Banking or Mobile Banking.

We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

Following receipt of the image, we may process the image by preparing a ā€œsubstitute check.ā€ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we reserve the right, within our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your account and, in the event we reject an item for remote deposit, you understand and agree that you must deposit the original item. You understand and agree that even if we do not initially reject an item you deposit through Mobile Deposit, we may return the substitute check we created because, among other reasons, the paying bank deems the electronic image illegible. Our failure to reject such an item shall not limit your liability to us. We are not liable for any service or late charges levied against you due to our rejection of any item. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account due to an item being returned.

Check Retention and Destruction. You agree to securely store each original check that you deposit using Mobile Deposit for a period of 90 days after transmission to us in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements. After such period expires, you will destroy the original check. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure the original checks. During the retention period, you agree at your expense to promptly deliver any retained check, or a sufficient copy of the front and
back of the check, to the Credit Union upon request to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, or for our audit purposes. If not provided within 7 business days of our request, such amount will be reversed from your account. In addition, if you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.

Termination will apply only to Mobile Deposit and does not terminate your other relationships with us.

Any termination will not affect obligations arising prior to termination, such as the obligation to process any checks and electronic items (including returned electronic items) that were in the process of being transmitted or collected prior to the termination date.

In addition, you will keep your account(s) at the Credit Union open until final payment with respect to all processing fees, and will maintain funds in your account(s) in amounts and for a period of time determined by the Credit Union in its reasonable discretion to cover any outstanding checks and your obligations for returns of checks, warranty claims, fees and other obligations.

If any such liabilities exceed the amount in the applicable account, we may charge such excess against any of your other accounts, and you will pay immediately upon demand any amount remaining unpaid.

PATRIOT Act

Securityā€¦ Comfortā€¦ Safetyā€¦

What is the PATRIOT Act?

The USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act) is a Federal Act written in 2001 and has been on the revision table since that time. This Act lays out new federal regulations which all financial institutions must follow to help avoid both fraud and terrorist activities.

What does the act require?

This act requires all financial institutions to know their members by implementing, among other things, identity verification policies and procedures, and maintaining records of that verification information.

When does this act take effect?

October 1, 2003

What does this mean for me?

In accordance with the new policies implemented by the credit union because of the PATRIOT Act, the credit union will be required to retain a copy of your driverā€™s license and/or other identifying documents before opening a new account or making a change to an existing account. This information will be kept secure on our system and will be used to keep your account safe from fraud.

What about transactions?

The tellers and member service representatives will be required to verify that this identifying information (primarily your driverā€™s license) is on file. During each transaction, they will be able to view this information. If identification is not already on the credit unionā€™s systems, they may request to see a copy of that information. Actions have been taken to prevent this process from delaying transaction time.

Is my information secure?

Yes. All information stored in this process will be secured at the credit union and viewable only by authorized credit union staff. This information will be used to safeguard your account from fraudulent activity.

Seems like a hassle. What is the benefit to me?

This process will not only help us get to know you better, but will decrease the likelihood of identity theft or fraud at the credit union. We have taken steps to make sure this process intrudes as little as possible on your daily and monthly activities, and that these new policies help to insure the financial safety of you and your account.

What about the branches?

This information will be collected at all credit union branches during regular financial activities and will be available to all branch staff for identification purposes.

Will this affect the drive-thru?

Identity verification will take place for all transaction, including those done in the drive-thru. Actions have been taken to prevent this process from delaying transaction time.
