Online Banking, Mobile Banking & Electronic Fund Transfers Agreement and Disclosure 

This Electronic Fund Transfers Agreement and Disclosure is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the electronic fund transfers (EFT) services offered to you by Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union (“Credit Union”). In this Agreement, the words “you,” “your,” and “yours” mean those who sign the application or account card as applicants, joint owners, or any authorized users. The words “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the Credit Union. The word “account” means any one (1) or more share and share draft accounts you have with the Credit Union. Electronic fund transfers are electronically initiated transfers of money from your account through the EFT services described below. By signing an application or account card for EFT services, signing your card, or using any service, each of you, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and any amendments for the EFT services offered. Furthermore, electronic fund transfers that meet the definition of remittance transfers are governed by 12 C.F.R. part 1005, subpart B—Requirements for remittance transfers, and consequently, terms of this agreement may vary for those types of transactions. A “remittance transfer” is an electronic transfer of funds of more than $15.00 which is requested by a sender and sent to a designated recipient in a foreign country by a remittance transfer provider. Terms applicable to such transactions may vary from those disclosed herein and will be disclosed to you at the time such services are requested and rendered in accordance with applicable law.

EFT Services — If approved, you may conduct any one (1) or more of the EFT services offered by the Credit Union.

People’s Check Card. If approved, you may use your MasterCard® to purchase goods and services from participating merchants. However, you may not use your card to initiate any type of gambling transaction. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. You agree that you will not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Funds to cover your card purchases will be deducted from your share draft account. For all types of transactions, including ATM transactions, if the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction amount, the Credit Union may pay the amount and treat the transaction as a request to transfer funds from other deposit accounts, approved overdraft protection accounts, or loan accounts that you have established or authorized with the Credit Union. If you initiate a transaction that overdraws your account, you agree to make immediate payment of any overdrafts together with any service charges to the Credit Union. In the event of repeated overdrafts, the Credit Union may terminate all services under this Agreement.

Other agreements you have entered into with us, including the Membership & Account Agreement, Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement. Online Banking, Remote Deposit Capture, and other Disclosures governing your account, are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

Credit Union reserves the right to refuse enrollment in Bill Pay for any member who does not meet the Bill Pay criteria that has been established by the Credit Union. Included in the criteria is a requirement that subscribers to this service must live within the United States, its possessions and territories.

The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date (the day you want your Biller to receive your bill payment and is also the day your Payment Account will be debited, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day in which case it will be considered to be the previous Business Day) for each Biller (the person or entity to which you wish a bill payment to be directed or is the person or entity from which you receive electronic bills, as the case may be) will be designated within the application when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the application will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date (the date reflected on your Biller statement for which the payment is due; it is not the late date or grace period) reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.

The payment will be deducted from your Account by a transfer. All bill payments debited from your account will appear on your monthly Statement. They will also appear under the "BILL PAY HISTORY" section of Bill Pay in Online Banking and Mobile Banking. All payments can be viewed with the Payee's name, payment amount and payment date by reviewing your recent payment history under the history option provided to you as part of the Online Bill Pay Service.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Credit Union, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. User will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described within this Agreement.

By providing Bill Pay with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Credit Union to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Bill Pay system may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.

When Payment Instructions are received, you authorize the Bill Pay system to debit your Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize us to credit your Account for payments returned by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of Bill Pay.

We will use our best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Credit Union shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

If through no fault of the Credit Union, your Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account, if applicable (Note: Credit Union may, at its option, pay a scheduled bill payment (a payment that has been scheduled through Bill Pay but has not begun processing), which exceeds the balance in the checking account by transferring the amount of the resulting overdraft from your available line of credit or share account, indicated on the Membership Application and Agreement or on any subsequent Account Maintenance Form. 

Payment processing is not working properly;

If the Payee mishandles or delays a payment sent by Bill Pay;

You have not provided Bill Pay with the correct Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller: and/or

Circumstances beyond control of the Credit Union (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and Bill Pay has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if Bill Pay causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Account or causes funds from your Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, Bill Pay shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

Bill Pay reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, ACH, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted from your Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution for payment).

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once we have begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.

Our ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. We may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact the Credit Union. Although we will make every effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. The Credit Union may also require you to present your request in writing. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through Bill Pay.

Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through Bill Pay, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Credit Union be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments. This guarantee does not apply to any late payment related changes. The Credit Union has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, miss-posted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Credit Union.
