1. The Service.
In consideration of the Online Banking services (Services) to be
provided by First National Bank of Kansas (Bank), as described from time
to time in information distributed by BANK to its customers. In the
agreement, “customer” refers to the person(s) subscribing to or using
the Service. The Customer agrees as follows: You may use a Personal
Computer (PC) through an Internet connection to obtain account balances
and transaction information. You may also use your PC to obtain
statements on your accounts and to transfer money between your accounts.
However, transfers from your savings and Money Market accounts are
considered pre-authorized transfers, and pre-authorized transfers are
limited to six (6) per monthly statement cycle by federal regulations.
In addition, you may use your PC to electronically direct us to make
payments from your account to third parties (Payees) that you have
selected to receive payment through the Service. You may make payments
through the Service to any business professional, merchant, family
member, or friend. The (Account) means your designated bill payment
checking account at BANK from which we make bill payments on your behalf
pursuant to the Agreement. By subscribing to the Service or using the
Service to make any payments to a third party, you agree to the terms of
the Agreement.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR
RECORDS.
2. Your Merchant List.
You may include all utility companies, merchants, financial
institutions, insurance companies, individuals, etc. whom you wish to
pay through First National Bank of Kansas Bill Payment. Include a
complete mailing address and telephone number for each and your account
number with each payee. We reserve the right to decline to make payments
to certain persons and entities.
3. Your Password.
Each individual who has access to Online Banking, including each
individual named on joint accounts, must designate a password and a user
code. Your password must be a minimum of 6 characters, which must
consist of at least one (1) letter of upper or lower case and one (1)
numeric character. The letters are case sensitive. For example, if you
enter your password as: 1234abc you cannot use 1234ABC. It is required
that you change your password every 90 days to enhance security.
4. Scheduling Payments.
You may choose to add Bill Payment and use your PC to electronically
schedule payments with the Service. Payments are posted against your
balance available for withdrawal, as defined in the bank’s Funds
Availability Policy.
5. Delivery of Your Payments and
Transfers.
You may schedule payments to be initiated on the current business day,
on a future date, or on the same date of each month, subject to the
restrictions in the Agreement. Although you can enter payment
information through the Service twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7)
days a week, payments can be initiated only on business days. Funds will
be deducted from your Account on the business day in which a payment is
to be “initiated.” This date is referred to in this Agreement as the
“Transaction Date.” If you direct the initiation of a payment to occur
on a day other than a business day, it will be initiated on the
following business day.
After funds are withdrawn from your
Account, we may remit your payments by mailing your Payee a check, by
electronic funds transfer, including ACH (Automated Clearing House) or
by other means. Because of the time it takes to send your payment to
them, your Payees generally will not receive payment on the Transaction
Date. This applies regardless of whether the payment is a next-day
payment, a future payment, or a recurring payment, as described below.
Therefore, in order to provide sufficient time for payments to be
received by your Payees, the Transaction Date should be prior to the
date your payment is due, excluding any applicable grace periods (the
“Due Date”). Payments and transfers must be scheduled by the normal
cut-off time of 6:00 pm (Central Standard Time) on any business day in
order for the payment to be initiated for that business day.
6. Recurring Payments.
Recurring payments are those made for the same amount and are made on a
weekly, bi-monthly, monthly basis, etc. Once started, recurring payments
will be made automatically until you tell us to stop or cancel the
payment on-line and we have a reasonable opportunity to react.
7. Our Liability for Failure to
Complete Transactions.
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 might be
liable for some of your losses or damages. However, there are some
exceptions. We will not be liable for instance:
-
If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough
money in your account to make the transfer;
-
If the money in your account is subject to legal
process or other encumbrances restricting transfer;
-
If the system was not working properly when you
started the transfer;
-
If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or
flood or systems failure) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable
precautions that we have taken; or
-
If the payee mishandles or delays handling payments
sent by us.
8. Canceling Payment.
You may use your PC to cancel a payment up to 6:00 pm (CST) on the
business day your payment is scheduled to be initiated (“Transaction
Date”). There is no fee for canceling a payment Online. Other requests
must be made at least one (1) day prior to scheduled payment date. A
payment that has been sent may be recalled for a fee of $25 per item but
the BANK will not guarantee the ability to recall an item.
9. Statements.
All payments, transfers, and/or fees made with the Service will appear
on your monthly Account statement. The Payee name, payment amount, and
date of the payment will be shown for each payment made through the
Service during that month.
