access your share draft or share savings account(s) to purchase
goods (in person or by phone), pay for services (in person
or by phone), get cash from a merchant, if the merchant permits,

that can be done with a credit card (that a participating
merchant will accept with a credit card).
Point-of-Sale
Transactions – dollar limitations and charges – Using
your card:
- You
may not exceed $500.00 in transactions per 24 hour period
Currency
Conversion. If you effect a transaction with your VISA Check
Card in a currency other than US dollars, VISA International
Incorporated will convert the charge into a US dollar amount.
VISA International will use its currency conversion
procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that issue VISA
cards. Currently, the conversion rate used by VISA
International to determine the transaction amount in US dollars
for such transactions will be 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 plus the 1% International Transaction Fee.
Effective April 2, 2005, a 1% International Transaction Fee will be assessed on all transactions where the merchant country differs from the country of the card issuer. The converted transaction amount will be shown separately from the International Transaction Fee on your billing statement. This fee will be assessed on all international purchases, credit vouchers, and cash disbursements.
Advisory
Against Illegal Use. You agree not to use your card(s)
for illegal gambling or other illegal purpose. Display of
payment card logo by, for example, an online merchant does
not necessarily mean that transactions are lawful in all jurisdictions
in which the cardholder may be located.
ATM
Surcharges. When you use an ATM not owned by us, you
may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used
to complete the transfer (and you may be charged a fee for
a balance inquiry).
DOCUMENTATION
- Terminal
transfers. You can get a receipt at the time you make
any transfer to or from your account using one of our automated
teller machines or point-of-sale terminals.
- Periodic
statements. You will get a monthly account statement
from us for your share draft accounts. You will get a monthly
account statement from us for your share savings accounts,
unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In
any case, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION’S 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:
1) If,
through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in
your account to make the transfer.
2) If
you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over
the credit limit.
3) If
the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer
does not have enough cash.
4) If
the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew
about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
5) If
circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent
the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have
taken.
6) There
may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
CONFIDENTIALITY
We
will disclose information to third parties about your account
or the transfers you make:
1) Where
it is necessary for completing transfers; or
2) In
order to verify the existence and condition of your account
for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
3) In
order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
4) If
you give us written permission.
UNAUTHORIZED
TRANSFERS a)
Consumer Liability
- Generally.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code
has been lostor stolen. 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 you tell us within 2 business days, you
can lose o more than $50 if someone used your card and/or
code without your permission. (If you believe your card
and/or code has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within
2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you
can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or
code without your permission.)If you do NOT tell us within
2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of
your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped
someone from using your card and/or 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 o not tell us within 60 days after
the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any
money you lost after the 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.
- Additional
Limits on Liability for VISA Check Card, when used for
point-of-sale transactions. You will not be liable for
any unauthorized transactions using your VISA Check Card,
when used for point-of sale transactions, if: (i) you can
demonstrate that you have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding
your card from the risk of loss or theft, (ii) you have
not reported to us two or more incidents of unauthorized
use within the prior twelve-month period, and (iii) your
account is in good standing. If any of these conditions
are not met, your liability is the lesser of $50 or the
amount of money, property, labor, or services obtained by
the unauthorized use before notification to us. “Unauthorized
use” means the use of your debit card by a person, other
than you, who does not have actual, implied, or apparent
authority for such use, and from which you receive no benefit.
This additional limitation on liability does not apply to
PIN-based transactions or transactions not processed by
VISA.
b)
Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. If you
believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen or that
someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without your permission, call or write us at the telephone
number or address listed in this brochure.
ERROR
RESOLUTION NOTICE In
case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers,
call or write us at the telephone number or address listed
in this brochure as soon as you can, if you think your statement
or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about
a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear
from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement
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 (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account)
after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly.
If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90
days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale
transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate
your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will
credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days
if the transfer involved a new account) 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. Your account is considered a new account
for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless
each of your already has an established account with us before
this account is opened.
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.
