SERVICE LIMITATIONS: The following limitations on Online Service 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. Transfers done through Online Services DO NOT immediately charge or credit your account. However, transfers from a share savings 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. TRANSFERS WILL BE EFFECTIVE BY THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH TRANSACTION. 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.
Account Information: The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. 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. The Credit Union may not immediately receive e-mail communications that you send to frfcuwagner@ftrandallfcu.com and the Credit Union will not take action based on e-mail requests until the Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction, you may call the Credit Union at the telephone number set forth in the Liability for Unauthorized Access section.
Bill Payments. You may authorize new payment instructions or edit previously authorized payment instructions for bill payments that are either periodic and nonrecurring (i.e. payments on merchant charge accounts that vary in amount) (periodic bill payments) or automatic and recurring i.e. fixed monthly mortgage payments, (automatic bill payments) up to a maximum dollar amount of $9,999.99. When you transmit a bill payment instruction to us, you authorize us to transfer funds to make the bill payment transaction for the account you designate. We will process bill payment transfer requests only to those payees designated in the Credit Union’s user instructions and such payees as you authorize and for whom the Credit Union has the proper vendor code number. Payments for payees and purposes described below are permitted but NOT GUARANTEED due to the risk associated with late payments and the additional documentation that may be required when submitting payments to these payees:
- Tax or other governmental entities (utility payments to governmental entities are permitted)
- Collection agencies
- Court-ordered payments such as alimony, child support, speeding tickets, etc.
- Payments to payees outside of the United States.
- Payments to payees located in the Armed Forces postal codes such as AE or AP
- Payments to settle securities transaction
- Payments to payoff “special financing” transactions
- Unprocessed payments due to error conditions that are not caused by the Credit Union or its online bill payment provider.

The Credit Union will not process a bill payment transfer if the required transaction information is incomplete.

The Credit Union uses the “Good Funds” method of online bill payment. This requires funds to be available in the member’s designated account on the day the payment is to be transferred. Therefore, if there are insufficient funds in your account to make the bill payments request, the payment will not be made. The Credit Union will make up to three (3) attempts to pull funds from a member’s account for online bill payments on consecutive processing days. If the funds are not available after three (3) attempts to make the payment it is your responsibility to delete that failed payment attempt and re-enter a new payment for future processing to occur. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to process payment instructions that reasonably appears to the Credit Union to be fraudulent or erroneous. The Credit Union will withdraw the designated funds from your account for the bill payment transfer by midnight on the date you schedule for payment. The Credit Union will process your bill payment transfer within one (1) business day on the date you schedule for payment.

It is your responsibility to schedule your bill payments in such a manner that your obligations will be paid on time. You are responsible for any late payments or finance charges that may be imposed as a result of your failure to transmit a timely bill payment authorization. Bill payment files are not processed on weekends or on holidays observed by the Federal Reserve System which include but are not limited to:

New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday
President’s Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Veteran’s Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day

You may cancel or stop payment of periodic and automatic bill payment instructions under certain circumstances. If you discover an error in or want to change a payment instruction (i.e. payment date or payment amount) for a periodic or automatic bill payment you have already scheduled for transmission through Bill Pay, you may electronically edit or cancel your payment request. Your cancellation request must be entered and transmitted through Bill Pay before the date you have scheduled for payment. If your request is not timely entered, you will be responsible for the payment.

SECURITY OF PASSWORD. The password issued to you is for your security purposes. The password is confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You are responsible for safekeeping your password. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your password available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to use your password, that authority shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying the Credit Union. You are responsible to properly log out of Online Services to prevent access by unauthorized individuals. If you fail to maintain the security of online services or these passwords and the Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your Online and Bill Pay services immediately.

LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. You are responsible for all transfers and bill payments you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use Online Services or 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 Online Services without your authorization. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You may call us at (605) 384-5332. Or you may write to us:

However, the Credit Union will not be liable:

If, through no fault of ours, you do not have adequate funds in your account to complete a transaction, your account is closed, or the transaction amount would exceed your credit limit on your line of credit, if applicable.
If you have not properly followed any applicable computer, Internet Access, or Credit Union user instructions for making transfer and bill payment transactions.

If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunications outages, postal strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction.
If the funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process or other claim.
If you have not given the Credit Union complete, correct, and current instructions so the Credit Union can process a transfer or bill payment.
If the error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union’s control, such as your Internet Service Provider.
If you do not authorize a bill payment soon enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due.
If the Credit Union makes a timely bill payment but the payee nevertheless does not credit your payment promptly after receipt.
If there are other exceptions as established by the Credit Union from time to time.

In the event either party brings a legal action under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to payment by the other party of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, bankruptcy proceedings, and any post-judgment collection actions, if applicable.
