Card Holder Agreement

Cardholder Agreement

All the deets on EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer).

By signing the Account Card or signing or using the Debit Card (“Card”), you agree to the following terms governing your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the electronic funds transfer services, as applicable. Terms and conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement shall also apply to your electronic funds transfer service. Electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) are electronically initiated transfers of money through automated teller machines (“ATMs”) and debit card purchases involving your deposit accounts at the credit union.

a. ATMs. You may use your card and Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) in automated teller machines within the PLUS, Interlink, VISA, or Co-op networks and other machines as the credit union may designate. At the present time, you may use your card to:
• Make deposits to your savings and checking accounts
• Withdraw cash from your savings and checking accounts
• Obtain the current balance in your savings and checking accounts

b. Debit Card. You may use your Card to purchase goods and services any place your Card is honored by participating merchants. Funds to cover your card purchases will be deducted from your share draft account. If the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction amount, the credit union may treat the transaction as an overdraft request pursuant to the overdraft protection plan or may terminate all services under the Agreement. You may not use your Card or Account for any illegal or unlawful transaction, and we may decline to authorize any transaction that we believe may be illegal or unlawful.

Some merchants may permit you to initiate debit and bill payment transactions with your card using either the VISA network or another network shown on your Card, such as the STAR network. The credit union will honor your debit transactions processed by any of these networks.

Transactions processed over the VISA network do not require you to use your PIN to validate the transaction. Generally, you will sign a receipt, provide your card number (e.g. internet, mail, or telephone transactions), or swipe your card at a terminal. Also, there are certain protections and rights such as the zero liability protections in the section Member Liability, applicable only to VISA processed transactions.

Transactions processed over other networks may not require you to use your PIN in order to validate a transaction. Generally, you enter your card number or swipe your card and provide or enter a PIN. However, some merchants may not require you to provide a PIN, and may allow you to choose whether the transaction is processed by VISA or another network. Provisions applicable only to VISA transactions (such as VISA’s zero liability protections) will not apply to non-VISA debit transactions and the liability rules for other EFTs in the section titled “Member Liability” will apply.

c. Point of Sale. If we approve your application for point of sale (POS) services, you may use your Card and PIN to pay for purchases from participating merchants who have agreed to accept the Card at POS terminals.

d. Direct Deposit. Upon instruction of (i) your employer, (ii) the Treasury Department, or (iii) other financial institutions, the credit union will accept direct deposits of your paycheck or of other recurring payments, such as Social Security, to your share or checking account. You may also receive pre-authorized transfers from another member’s account with the credit union.

e. Pre-authorized Debits. You may make periodic direct withdrawals from your share or checking account to a particular person or company, which you have arranged with that person or company, provided you have enough funds in your account to cover the payment.

f. Web Connect. If we approve your application for the online account access, you may use a personal computer to access your accounts. For this service, you will need a personal computer with access to the Internet (World Wide Web). The online address for online access services is www.emboldcu.org. You may select a PIN. You must use your PIN to access your accounts. You are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and operation of your computer and software. The credit union will not be responsible for any errors or failures involving any telephone service, Internet service provider, your software installation, or your computer.

At the present time, you may use the online service to:
• Transfer funds among your checking and savings accounts
• Make payments from your checking or savings account to loan accounts with us
• Obtain balance information about checking and savings accounts
• Obtain transaction history on checking and savings accounts
• Pay bills online using the bill payer service.

Transactions involving your share accounts will be subject to your Membership and Account Agreement and transactions involving a loan account will be subject to the loan agreement(s) for the applicable loan.

g. Electronic Check Transactions. You authorize us to honor any electronic check conversion transaction and re-presented check fee debit transactions (“electronic check transactions”). You agree that your authorization for an electronic check transaction occurs when you initiate such a transaction after receiving any notice regarding the merchant’s right to process the transaction. Notice may include a sign posted by the merchant at the time and place of your transaction. All terms governing electronic funds transfer services will apply to electronic check transactions, except the $50.00 and $500.00 limits of liability for unauthorized transactions in Section 4. Member Liability. You remain responsible for notifying us of any unauthorized electronic check transactions shown on your statement.

h. Mobile Banking. Description of Services.

a. ATM. You may withdraw up to $505 in any one day at an ATM (if there are sufficient funds in your account). You may make a maximum of eight (8) withdrawals in any one day. For security purposes, there may be other limits on the frequency and amount of transfers.

b. Point of Sale (POS) Purchases. You may make up to twenty-five (25) debit purchases at a VISA or POS terminal up to a maximum of $2500 in any one day.

c. Online Banking.
i. Transfers. You may make funds transfers to your accounts or other accounts you authorize as often as you like. However, transfers from a savings account will be limited to a total of six (6) in any one month. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account or available credit line at the time of the transfer, except as limited under other agreements. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, lower an account below a required balance, or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account.

ii. Account Information. The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information. The availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for ATM transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.

iii. Email and Stop Payment Requests. The Credit Union may not immediately receive email communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action based on email requests until the Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. Any stop payment request you transmit electronically is deemed to be an oral request and will expire in fourteen (14) days unless confirmed in writing in accordance with your Membership and Account Agreement. Contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request.

d. Visa Check Card. You may make up to twenty-five (25) VISA Check Card purchases up to a maximum of $2500 in any one day. VISA purchases are limited to the balance available in your account. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction, which would draw upon insufficient funds or require us to increase our required reserve on the account. The Credit Union may set other limits on the amount of any transaction, and you will be notified of those limits. You are solely responsible for any disputes you may have with merchandise or services received using the VISA debit. We are not responsible for any damages, liability, or settlement resolution as a result of the misrepresentation of quality, price, or warranty of goods or services by a merchant.

The use of your Card and Account are subject to the following conditions:
i. Ownership of Cards. Any Card or other device which we supply to you is our property and must be returned to us, or to any person whom we authorize to act as our agent, or to any person who is authorized to honor the Card, immediately according to instructions. The Card may be repossessed at any time in our sole discretion without demand or notice. You cannot transfer your Card or Account to another person.

ii. Honoring the Card. Neither we nor merchants authorized to honor the Card will be responsible for the failure or refusal to honor the Card or any other device we supply to you. If a merchant agrees to give you a refund or adjustment, you agree to accept a credit to your Account in lieu of a cash refund.

iii. Currency Conversion; International Transaction Fee. Purchases and withdrawals made in foreign countries will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. The currency conversion rate for international transactions as established by VISA International, Inc. is a rate selected by VISA from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate VISA itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. In addition, you will be charged an International Transaction Fee of up to 1% of the transaction amount for any card transaction made in a foreign country.

The PIN issued to you is for your security purposes. The numbers are confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded on or with the card. You are responsible for safekeeping your PIN. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your PIN available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to use your PIN, that authority shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying the Credit Union. If you fail to maintain the security of these access codes and the Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your ATM and account services immediately.

You are responsible for all transfers you authorize using your EFT services under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use an EFT service, Card or access code, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your Account, Card or access code and accessed your accounts without your authority. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. For VISA Debit Card purchase transactions, if you notify us of your lost or stolen card, you will not be liable for any losses provided you were not grossly negligent or fraudulent in handling your card and you provide us with a written statement regarding your unauthorized Card claim, otherwise the following liability limits will apply. For all other EFT transactions, except electronic check transactions, if you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone accessed your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or EFT service, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows EFT 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, you may be liable for the full amount of the loss, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

If you believe your Card has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call:

j. The ATM or POS terminal may retain your card in certain instances, in which event you may contact the Credit Union about its replacement.

a. Stop Payment Rights.

You must notify the credit union orally or in writing at any time up to three (3) business days before the scheduled date of a preauthorized transfer. The credit union may require written confirmation of the stop payment order to be made within fourteen (14) days of any oral notification. If we do receive the written confirmation, the oral stop payment order shall cease to be binding fourteen (14) days after it has been made.

b. Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay is required to 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 account would fall outside certain limits that you set.

c. Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers. 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.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) calendar days to investigate your complaint or questions (ninety (90) calendar days for POS transaction error, new account transaction errors, or errors involving transactions initiated outside the United States).
