Service Limitations
The following limitations on HomeBanking transactions may apply in using the services listed above:
Transfers:
You may make funds transfers to other accounts of yours as often as you like. However, transfers and bill
payments from a savings account will be limited to a total of six (6) in any one calendar month. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your accounts, except as limited under this Agreement or your deposit or loan agreements. LPS Employees Federal 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.
Account Information:
The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. The history available may be different from HomeBanking to Mobile Banking. Also, the availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for ATM transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.
E-Mail:
PS Employees Federal Credit Union may not immediately receive E-mail communications that you send and LPS Employees Federal Credit Union will not take action based on E-mail requests until LPS Employees Federal Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact LPS Employees Federal Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call LPS Employees Federal Credit Union at the telephone number set forth in the Billing Errors section.
Security of Password and/or Security Token:
The personal identification number (Password) and/or any Security Token issued to you are for your security purposes. The Password, Security Token, Security Questions, and/or Challenge Questions are confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You are responsible for safekeeping both. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make these available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. We highly encourage the use of our Multi-Factor Authentication to further secure your electronic access. If you authorize anyone to use your Password or Security Token, that authority shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying LPS Employees Federal Credit Union. If you fail to maintain the security of these security measures and LPS Employees Federal Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your HomeBanking and account services immediately.
Liability for unauthorized access:
You are responsible for all transfers you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use the HomeBanking service with your Password, 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 Password or accessed your accounts through code, card, or draft without your authorization. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose not more than $50 if someone uses your card without your 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 that we could have stopped someone from using your card without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfer that you did not make including those made by card, code, or other means, TELL US AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed/provided to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty days 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: (402) 486-3644.

Our business days are Monday through Friday 7:30am-5:00pm and Saturdays 8:00am-12pm. Federal holidays are not included.

If a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that was initiated in a foreign country or occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made, the applicable time period for action shall be ninety (90) calendar days in place of forty-five (45) calendar days.
