In some cases, identification will be requested for those banking with us prior to the effective date of the customer identification requirements because original documentation was not obtained with the opening of the accounts.

What this means for you:

When you open an account or are going to be added as a signatory to an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you.

III. Safeguarding Your Security Code and Personal Identification Numbers

When you use the Services, you will have access to your Accounts via the Internet utilizing a user defined Security Code. Internet Express Online Home Banking may also be accessed through "Express Online" if you subscribe to that Service with us. In that event, the Internet Express Online Home Banking Services will be available by using the "Express Online" username and password. If you subscribe to "Express Online" as well as the Internet Express Online Home Banking Services, anyone to whom you disclose your "Express Online" password will have access to any Account that you could access through your use of the Services.

It is your responsibility to safeguard your Security Code, "Express Online" password, and Unity One Credit Union ATM PIN.

VI. Charges

Under certain circumstances, you may be charged a fee for special Service(s). If a fee is charged, we will assess the charges against your Checking Account or against your Share Account or Privilege Pay service if there are insufficient funds in your Checking Account at the time that the fee is assessed. You will not be charged any monthly fee for accessing your account through Express Online Banking.

VII. Terms. Conditions, and Disclosures that apply only to Personal Accounts

A. What is a "Personal" Account? A personal account is one held by a natural person, which is established primarily for personal, family or household purposes. You represent and agree that any account which you may establish with us in the name of a sole proprietorship, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a club, or similar non-natural person entity is not established for personal, family, or household purposes.

B. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers If you believe your Security Code has been lost, stolen or compromised, telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line-of-credit, if any). If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Security Code without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Security Code and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Security Code without your permission if you had 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 sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (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.

C. Our 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 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 you do not obtain Confirmation at the time you initiate a transfer or payment.
  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer or payment
  • If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your Unity One Credit Union Line-of-Credit (LOC) (if approved).
  • If the Services, your equipment, the software, or any communications link is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside source) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid these circumstances.
  • Additional exceptions, which apply to your Express Bill Pay Service, are disclosed in the Express Bill Pay Service section of these Terms, Conditions, and Disclosures.
  • There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
  • See the Special Rules for Business Accounts below for information concerning our liability for electronic funds transfers to and from Business Accounts.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days 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 ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account.

For errors involving new accounts we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question, and we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

You will be prompted to change your Security Code as soon as you access your account. Your Security Code may be a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of eight (8) numeric digits. For any transfer you make, the balance in your Account, including overdraft protection if applicable, must be sufficient to cover the transfer. Account Access will enable you to:

  • Inquire about your account balances and loan balances.

    • Checking to Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account
    • Checking to your loan

In addition, you may make transfers from your accounts to and from other accounts - Checking, Shares, Unity One Credit Union Money Market, and loans -, which you are authorized to use. These accounts may be "family accounts" or "other accounts." Family accounts are those accounts having the same base number, but having distinguishing three-digit suffixes. Other accounts are those accounts having member account numbers that are not the same base number as your account. The account owner must sign the Internet Express Online Home Banking application and express to access those accounts. If you or any account owner provides a Security Code to any other person, enabling that person to access accounts on the Internet Express Online Home Banking Service, all transactions made by that person using the Security Code would be considered an authorized use of the Internet Express Online Home Banking Services.

If any account owner agrees to make one or more of his or her accounts available as "Additional Access Accounts" under the Internet Express Online Home Banking Service Application, that account owner acknowledges and agrees to grant the member named in such Application, complete Internet access to all of that account owner's accounts. That account owner also agrees that the authorization will supersede any prior authorization, and will continue in effect until we receive written revocation and have a reasonable time to act upon it.

Business accounts, other than Sole Proprietorship accounts, may not be linked to personal accounts. You agree that we will not be liable for any damage or loss occasioned by transfers between sole proprietorship and personal accounts, whether or not any such transfer is authorized, unless otherwise provided by applicable law.

Limitations on Transfers From Your Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account and Share Account Using the Internet Express Online Home Banking Services Government regulations restrict the number of pre-authorized and telephone transfers (including transfers by way of data transmission) from your Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account or your Share Account to no more than six (6) per month. No more than three (3) of the six (6) transfers can be made by check drawn on your Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account. Transfers made through your Internet EXPRESS ONLINE Home Banking Services are included when computing the permissible number of monthly transfers made. However, you are not prohibited from making transfers to make payments on your loans with us (payments on loans of your family members are counted against the transaction limitation). If you exceed the number of transfers permitted, your account may be subject to closure. Transfers from your Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account must be in amounts of $200 or more. Please refer to the Truth-In-Savings Disclosures in your Deposit Agreement for more information concerning transaction limitations.

Note: Unity One Credit Union Money Market Account includes the Money Market and Business Money Market Accounts.

XV. Express Online Bill Pay Service

You may arrange to have bills paid from your Checking Account through the Express Online Bill Pay Service, or through other Bill Pay Services from time to time. Your contractual arrangement with those Bill Pay Services may provide for additional terms, conditions, disclosures and limitations. If you use Express Online, you have the option to use the Service by telephone or via the Internet at no extra charge.

You authorize us to utilize Electronic Banking Service (EBS) to provide the Service to you on our behalf.

Payment of taxes or court directed payments via the Service is prohibited.

We reserve the right to refuse to make any payment, but will notify you of any such refusal within two (2) business days following receipt of your payment instruction.

Funds will arrive at your targeted Merchant as close as reasonably possible to the date designated by you in your payment instruction (Payment Date). Subject to the Terms, Conditions, and Disclosures set forth in this Agreement, you authorize us, and any third party acting on our behalf, to choose the most effective method to process your payment, including, without limitation, electronic, paper or other means. For each properly instructed payment to an eligible Merchant you will receive a transaction confirmation number (Confirmation Number). The Payment Date indicated by you must always be a business day (as previously defined). If it is not, the Payment Date will be deemed to be the first business day following the date indicated.

Unless you receive a confirmation number, we will not be liable for any failure to make a payment, including any finance charges or late fees incurred as a result. It is also important that the Payment Date be on or before the Merchant Due Date, not the Late Date, and, since the time for us to process your payment varies according to the particular Merchant, you must become familiar with the payment processing time for each Merchant you desire to pay, and allow the appropriate number of business days between the day you input your payment instruction and the Merchant Due Date. Subject to the limitation discussed below, if you follow the procedures described in this agreement for payments, and you are assessed a penalty or late charge, we will reimburse you for that late charge up to a maximum of one hundred dollars ($100.00). In the event that you do not comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, or in the event that your payment instruction is not made in time for us to process your payment prior to the due date required by a particular Merchant, you will be liable for all penalties and late fees imposed, and we will not be liable for any such penalties or fees.

Limitation

Under no circumstances will we be liable if we are unable to complete any payments initiated in a timely manner via the Services because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

1. You have closed the designated Account, or have been removed as a joint owner.

2. We have identified you as a credit risk and have chosen to (i) make all payments initiated by you via the Services utilizing a paper, as opposed to electronic, method, or (ii) terminate your subscription to the Services.

3. You have not provided us with the correct information for those Merchants to whom you wish to direct payment.

4. The Merchant mishandles or delays handling payments sent by us.
 

Insufficient Funds and Suspension of Service

In the event we are unable to process a Services transaction; (if, for example, there are insufficient funds in your designated Accounts) the transaction will result in a "Failed Payment." In such event, we will charge the total cost of the transaction, including any service charges, to you. In the event of repetitive Failed Payments, we reserve the right to suspend your subscription to the Services. This suspension may be without prior notice to you. If your subscription is suspended, transactions, which were previously initiated, may still continue to be processed unless canceled and confirmation of such cancellation is provided as specified below. Suspension will be handled by Customer Service and all inquiries and correspondence relating thereto including requests for reinstatement should be directed to Unity One Credit Union, Attention Internet Express Online Home Banking Services. In the event your subscription is suspended, we will notify you by mail to your listed address. With respect to any Failed Payment, you agree to reimburse us within fourteen (14) days after notice is sent to you, for any funds we have already paid to one or more of your designated Merchants, which we were unable to recover by debit to the Merchant or charge to you.

If you do not pay any amount owed to us when due, you agree to pay interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, if less). In the event that your claim or debt has to be referred to a third party for collection, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to pay all costs and fees incurred in collecting the outstanding balances, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.
