InvestorsBank Online Banking and Bill Payment Agreement and Disclosure

InvestorsBank Online Banking and Bill Payment Agreement and Disclosure (“Agreement”) states the terms and conditions that apply when you use InvestorsBank’s Online Banking service. These terms and conditions are in addition to those that apply to any accounts you have with us or any other services you obtain from us. You also agree to the Deposit Account Agreement or Business Deposit Account Agreement, Truth in Savings, Funds Availability Policy Disclosure and Electronic Fund Transfer Disclosure (“Deposit Disclosures”) which you received when you opened your deposit account. You can request copies of any Deposit Disclosures by contacting us. Should conflicting terms arise between this Agreement and the original product Deposit Disclosures, the most recent version of the original product Deposit Disclosure will take precedence.

This Online Banking and Bill Payment service is a consumer electronic banking service. However our business customers can also enroll in this service by contacting us.

CST on any Business Day and is the time by which you must transmit Payment Instructions to have them considered entered on that particular Business Day.

QUALIFYING FOR ONLINE BANKING BILL PAYMENT

If applying for the Online Bill Payment service, you authorize InvestorsBank to order and review your credit report and any internal banking records. This authorization for obtaining your credit report is in effect until termination of this agreement. Your receipt of this Agreement does not mean that the Online Bill Payment service will be activated for you.

  • Federal, state, or municipal tax payments
  • Court ordered payments
  • Payments to Payees outside the United States

You, or someone you have authorized by giving them your Online Banking User ID and password (even if that person exceeds your authority), can instruct us to perform the following transactions:

  • Transfer funds between qualifying accounts (this feature is turned on automatically
  • three to five Business Days after Online Banking Enrollment)

LIMITS OF ONLINE BANKING TRANSACTIONS

You received our Funds Availability Policy Disclosure when the Payment Account was opened and this Policy describes our policy of holding deposited items in an account before funds are made available to you for withdrawal. Your Payment Account cannot require more than one signature for withdrawals. If you designate your InvestorsMoney money market account as your Payment Account, you may only make six (6) pre-authorized transfers from your account each statement period. No more than three (3) of the transfers and withdrawals may be payments by check, draft, MasterMoney card or similar order to third parties.

FEES

InvestorsBank Online Banking and InvestorsBank Online Bill Payment are FREE, however fees for stop payments, overdrafts and other bank services described in our Supplement to Deposit Account Agreement and/or the Fee Schedule – Business will apply. Contact us for the most current version of our fee schedules.

USING ONLINE BILL PAYMENT

To use Online Banking Bill Payment, you must provide information online to us that identify your Payees. You must provide sufficient information about a Payee to permit us to properly direct a payment and permit the Payee upon receipt of a payment to identify you as the payment source. You do this by filling in all required fields with accurate information, as directed by the Online Banking Bill Payment screen messages. By providing us with the names and account information of those Payees to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the payment system. When we receive a Payment Instruction, you authorize us to debit your Payment Account and remit funds to the Payee on your behalf. We will debit your Payment Account on the next Business Day if the payment is a Pay Now. For Recurring Payments, we will debit your Payment Account generally five (5) Business Days before the Scheduled Payment Date. InvestorsBank may refuse to pay any other person or entity to which you direct a payment. You will receive notification of any such refusal. For this reason, it is necessary that all Scheduled Payment Dates selected by you be no less than five (5) Business Days before the bills actual due date, not the late date and/or a date within the grace period. Payment Instructions entered after the Cutoff Time or on non-Business Days will be considered entered in Online Bill Payment on the next Business Day.

You will be provided a confirmation number for each payment you schedule using Online Bill Payment. This number is available on the Payment History screen under the Payments menu if you need to refer to it in the future. The confirmation number will help us resolve any questions you may have concerning your transactions.

If you have Recurring Payments through the InvestorsBank Online Bill Payment system, you can stop any of these payments by deleting the Payment Instruction three (3) Business Days before the Scheduled Payment or by calling us or writing us at the telephone numbers and address listed in this agreement. We must receive your call or written request at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled payment. If you call, we will require you to put your request in writing and deliver it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. You may be charged for each stop payment. Online Bill Payment transactions are processed either through an electronic transmission to the Payee or by drawing a check from your account. If a check is drawn this check will be mailed by us using the United States Post Office.

InvestorsBank has the right to limit the dollar amount of any payment made through the Online Bill Payment system.

If you fail to cancel Recurring Payments after termination of this Agreement you will be subject to overdraft charges.

OVERDRAFT

You agree that your Payment Account will have sufficient funds when we process a Payment Instruction from you. If your Payment Account does not have sufficient funds we will attempt to process your Payment Instruction on the next two successive Business Days. If you overdraw your Payment Account, you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount together with any applicable fees.

LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTION

If we do not complete a transfer or payment from your Payment Account on time or in the correct amount according to your Payment Instructions, we will be liable for your losses or damages as provided by law. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:

  • If through no fault of ours, you do not have sufficient funds in your account to make the payment or transfer.
  • If the transfer or payment would result in exceeding the credit limit on your line of credit, if you have one.
  • You have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers or other information required to complete the payment, credit, transfer or other transaction.
  • Your equipment was not working properly when you attempted to conduct the transaction.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood, computer or machine breakdown, or failure or interruption of communications facilities) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken.
  • If we have terminated our Agreement with you.
  • When the User ID and or Password has been reported compromised or we have reason to believe that something is wrong with a transaction.
  • If the funds in the account are subject to legal action preventing a transfer or payment from your account.
  • There may be other exceptions provided by applicable law.

 

YOUR LIABILITY

You agree to the terms of this account and the schedule of charges that may be imposed. You authorize us to deduct these charges as accrued directly from the account balance. You are liable for all transactions that you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authority. If you have given someone your Online Banking User ID and password or other means of access and want to terminate that person’s authority, you must change your User ID and password or other means of access or take additional steps to prevent further access by such person.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS OR LOSS OR THEFT OF YOUR ONLINE USER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR PASSWORD

Notify us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID and/or password has been stolen or that an unauthorized transfer has occurred or may occur. Notifying us by telephone is the best way of keeping your losses down.

You will be liable for the lesser of $50.00 or the amount of any money, property or services obtained by the unauthorized use of your Online User Identification Number or Password prior to the time we are notified of, or otherwise become aware of, circumstances which lead to the belief that unauthorized access to your Payment Account may be obtained. Notice is sufficient when you take such steps as may reasonably be required in the ordinary course of business to provide us with the pertinent information.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS

Telephone us at (888) 558-2265 or write to us at W239 N1700 Busse Road, Waukesha, WI 53188-1160 as soon as you can, if you think a transfer was posted in error or if you need more information about a transfer. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement or other receipt of an electronic fund transfer on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

 

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 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 10 business days, we may not credit your account.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
