Electronic Check Conversion. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills. Electronic check conversion is a payment process in which a merchant or other payee (after obtaining your authorization) uses your check to gather routing, account, and check number information to initiate a one-time EFT. When information from your check is used to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day you make your payment. This type of EFT transaction involving a consumer account is covered by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and this disclosure. A description of the transaction will appear on your statement.
Re-presented Check Transactions and Fees.Ā You may authorize a merchant to electronically collect a fee associated with the re-presentment of a check that is returned due to insufficient or unavailable funds. The resulting fee transaction if debited as an EFT from a consumer account is covered by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and this disclosure. When a merchant re-presents a check electronically, that transaction is not covered by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act or this disclosure. A description of the transaction will appear on your statement.
Liability for Unauthorized VISA Debit Card Transactions. The following limitations may be applicable to your accounts, except as provided by law:
The zero liability limit described below only applies to debit cards that are United States issued VISA Consumer Cards or VISA Business Cards for transactions processed through a VISA network or, for ATM transactions, a Plus network. The zero liability limit described below does not apply to: (a) other types of VISA commercial debit cards that are not VISA Business Cards; (b) transactions using your personal identification number that are not processed through a VISA network; and (c) ATM transactions which are not sent over VISA or Plus networks.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your VISA debit card has been lost or stolen or if you believe any unauthorized transactions have been made using your VISA debit card. Your liability for unauthorized VISA debit card transactions that are processed through a VISA or Plus network, as applicable, will be zero dollars ($0.00).However, to the extent allowed under applicable law (see for example the Liability for Unauthorized Transfers paragraph below) we may hold you liable for the entire amount of an unauthorized transaction if we find, based on substantial evidence, that you have been negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your deposit account or VISA debit card.
For VISA Business Cards: An “unauthorized transaction” does not include any transaction allegedly conducted by (a) a business co-owner, (b) the cardholder orperson authorized by the cardholder, or (c) any other person with an interest in or authority to transact business on the account.
To notify us of lost or stolen cards, or of unauthorized transactions, call or write to us at the telephone number or address set forth in the Liability for Unauthorized Transfers paragraph below. This will help prevent unauthorized access to your account and minimize any inconvenience.
Currency Conversion and International Transactions. When you use your VISA Check Card at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, the charge will be converted into the US dollar amount. The currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in US dollars is either 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. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date. Visa USA charges us a .8% International Service Assessment on all international transactions, regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. If there is a currency conversion, the International Service Assessment is 1% of the transaction. In either case, we pass this international transaction fee on to you. An international transaction is a transaction where the country of the merchant is outside the USA.
VISA is a registered trademark of Visa in the United States and other countries.
In addition to the limitations set forth above, the following limitations may be applicable to your consumer accounts:

You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). Ifyou tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or code, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your card or code without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or code, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your card or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.

If you do not tell us within sixty (60)days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

As used in this document, the term “Agreement” means this document, the signature card, a rate and fee schedule (which may be in the form of a Rate and Fee Schedule, Time Certificate of Deposit, or Confirmation of Time Deposit, hereinafter called the “Schedule”), Truth in Savings disclosures, a Funds Availability Policy Disclosure, and an Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosure, if applicable. Each of you signing the signature card for a deposit accountacknowledges receipt of this Agreement, and agrees to the terms set forth in the Agreement, as amended from time to time. You agree that we may waive, inour sole discretion, any fee, charge, term, or condition set forth in this Agreement at the time the Account is opened or subsequent thereto, on a one-time basisor for any period or duration, without changing the terms of the Agreement or your obligation to be bound by the Agreement, and we are not obligated to provide similar waivers in the future or waive our rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. From time to time, we may offer or you may open a variety of deposit accounts. Each such account (the “Account”) is subject to the general terms and conditions and any specific terms and conditions relating to that type of account that may be set forth in this Agreement. If you open multiple Accounts, you may receive Schedule information for each Account, but this Agreement will cover all your Accounts with us. Each of you will be jointly and severally liable to us for debit balances in the Account, including without limitation overdrafts and Account charges, and jointly and severally promise to pay, upon demand, any and all debit balances, all fees and charges, and our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of collection, including but not limited to those incurred at trial and on any appeal.
INTEREST. If your Account earns interest, the following information applies: (A) Payment of Interest. We will pay interest at the annual rate specified on the Schedule, which does not reflect compounding (“Interest Rate”). The Schedule also sets forth the frequency of interest payments, the frequency of any compounding and crediting, the interest accrual basis, the balance on which interest will be paid, and any minimum balance requirements. (B) Minimum BalanceRequirements. The Schedule may specify a minimum balance that you are required to maintain in your Account. If the minimum balance is not maintained during a specified period, we, at our option, may not pay interest on your Account and/or may charge a fee for that period. You should review any minimum balance requirements on the Schedule. (C) Initial Interest Rate. The initial interest rate is the current annual rate of interest that we will pay on the specifiedbalance in your Account. We may pay interest at different rates, depending on the amount deposited and the type of depositor (individual, business, non-profit organization, etc.). (D) Interest Compounding and Crediting. The Schedule will indicate the interest compounding and crediting frequency for your Account (if any). Compounding generally means that interest is being accrued on earned interest. Interest may be compounded more frequently than interest is credited to your Account. (E) Interest Accrual. We may accrue interest on your Account more frequently than we pay or credit interest. The interest that has been calculated, but not paid to the Account, is called accrued unpaid interest. (F) Changes. We have the right to change the rates and fees in accordance with the terms of the Schedule. We also reserve the right to change any other term of this Agreement at our sole discretion.
FEES AND CHARGES. Subject to applicable law, you agree to pay us the fees and charges shown in the Schedules as are applicable to your Account or for other services performed by us. You agree the fees and charges may be changed by us from time to time and authorize us to charge your account for their payment whether or not each charge results in an overdraft of your account. Existing and future charges may be based upon the overall costs of providing account services and may or may not be based upon the direct cost or expense associated with providing the particular service involved. The charges may be based on consideration of profit, competitive position, deterrence of misuse of account privileges by customers, and the safety and soundness of the financial institution. We will notify you of the changes, to the extent required by law.
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. If an item drafted by you (such as a check you write) or drafted by someone else with your permission (such as a remotely created check or preauthorized draft you authorize someone else to create), or a transaction you authorize (such as a preauthorized electronic fund transfer), is presented forpayment in an amount that is more than the amount of money available in your account, and we decide not to pay the item or transaction, you agree that we can charge you a fee for returning the payment. When we return a payment due to insufficient available funds, the person who submitted the item or transaction may re-submit the returned item or transaction to us for payment. You understand and agree that we may charge you a fee each time we return an item ortransaction that is presented to us for payment because the amount of money available in your account at the time of presentment or re-presentment is not sufficient. See the Schedule of Fees for additional information.
BALANCE METHODS. As used in this Agreement, the “average daily balance” method means “the application of a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period, determined by adding the full amount of principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.” The “daily balance” method means “the application of a daily periodic rate to the full amount of principal in the account each day.”
DEPOSIT RULES. The following terms apply to deposits made to your Account: (A) Endorsements. You authorize us to accept transfers, checks, and other items for deposit to your Account if they are made payable to, or to the order of, any one or more of you, whether or not they are endorsed by you. You authorize us to supply missing endorsements, and you warrant that all endorsements are genuine. All checks and other items deposited to your Account should be endorsed payable to the order of us for deposit only, followed by your signature and Account number. We may permit you to deposit an electronic image orother electronic information related to a paper check through a service we provide that allows you to use a device, such as a mobile phone, to create and send to us such electronic image or information electronically. Before capturing an electronic image or electronic information of a paper check, you must endorse the check payable to the order of us “for mobile deposit only”, followed by your signature and Account number, or any alternative restrictive endorsement wemay allow and communicate to you. All endorsements must appear on the back of the check or other item within the first 1-1/2 inches from the left side of the item when looking at it from the front. Endorsements should be in black ink. While we may accept non-conforming endorsements, you will be responsible for any loss incurred by us due to the delay in processing or returning the item for payment. (B) Final Payment. All non-cash items (for example, checks) deposited to your Account are posted subject to our receipt of final payment by the payor bank. Upon receipt of final payment, the item becomes a collected item. If finalpayment is not received or if any item you have deposited or cashed is charged back to us for any reason, you authorize us to charge any of your Accounts,without prior notice and at any time, for the amount of the returned item, our returned item fee, any interest paid on that item, and any other fee we pay orincur. If an item to be charged back is lost in the process of collection or unavailable for return, we may rely upon a photocopy of the item or upon any other generally accepted notification of return of the item, in charging you or any of your Accounts for the amount of the returned item. We reserve the right to refuseany item for deposit into your Account. (C) Notice of Stop Payment, Legal Process, or Setoff. A check received by us before the close of the banking day may be subject to any stop payment order received, legal process served upon, or setoff exercised by us prior to 6:00 of the next banking day. Any knowledge, notice,stop payment order, legal process, or setoff comes too late to affect our right or duty to pay a check if it is received after that time. Additional limitations regarding stop payment orders, the right of setoff, or other legal process may be found elsewhere in this Agreement. (D) Direct Deposits. If we offer direct deposit services for automatic preauthorized deposits to your Account of Social Security payments or automatic transfers from your other accounts with us,you must notify us at least 30 days prior to the next scheduled direct deposit or preauthorized transfer if you wish to cancel the direct deposit or transfer service. If any amount deposited must be returned to the government for any reason, you authorize us to deduct the amount from your Account as provided in the Final Payment paragraph above. (E) Crediting of Deposits. The Funds Availability Policy Disclosure provided to you reflects our policies relating to the availabilityof deposited funds.
(F) Substitute Checks and Electronic Files Pertaining to Original Checks. If you deposit a “substitute check” (as defined in Regulation CC Ā§ Section 229.2(aaa)) or a purported substitute check into your Account, you agree to reimburse us for losses, costs and expenses we may pay or incur associated with the item not meeting applicable substitute check standards and/or from duplicate payments associated with the item. If you provide us with an electronic representation of a substitute check for deposit into your account instead of an original check, you agree to reimburse us for losses, costs and expenses we may pay or incur associated with the substitute check resulting from the electronic representation not meeting applicable substitute check standards and/or from duplicate payments associated with the item. If you provide us with an electronic image or electronic information related to a paper check for deposit into your Account, you agree to reimburse us for losses, costs, and expenses we may pay or incur associated with the electronic image or information not meeting applicable standards for such images and/or from duplicate payment associated with the check. (G) Deposit Discrepancies. When you make a deposit to youraccount, we will credit your account for the amount stated on your deposit slip and we may provide you with a deposit receipt. We reserve the right to reviewthe deposit and confirm the amount of funds you deposited but are not required to do so. If after any review we determine that the amount credited to your account is incorrect, we may adjust your account for the amount of the discrepancy but reserve the right not to do so if the discrepancy would not be a disadvantage to you. This may be the case, for example, if the amount credited to your account was more than the amount actually deposited by you.Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not required to adjust your account unless within one year of the date of your account statement that shows the deposit either you notify us of the discrepancy or we discover it on our own. If you do not notify us of the error or we do not discover it on our own during this notice period, the amount credited to the account will be considered final.
WITHDRAWAL RULES. The following terms apply to withdrawals from your Account: (A) Manner of Withdrawal. You may make withdrawals from your Account in any manner that is permitted by us for the type of Account that you have opened. Withdrawals by mail will be posted to your Account as of the day the transaction is processed by us. We may refuse to accept any check other than standard checks provided by us, or approved by us in advance. Withdrawalsand transfers from your Account may be restricted as provided in the Agreement, or in the Schedule, or by applicable law. (B) Withdrawal Restrictions and Overdrafts. We do not have to allow you to make a withdrawal from your Account if you don’t have sufficient available funds in the Account to cover the full amount of the withdrawal. If there are available funds to cover some, but not all, of the withdrawals or other debits to your Account on a single business day, we will post the checks for which there are sufficient available funds in any order we may choose at our sole discretion. We may pay other withdrawals or debit items (such as charges) prior to paying any checks, and we may post those other withdrawals or debit items in any order we may choose at our sole discretion. If there are insufficient funds available in your Account to cover a withdrawal or debit presented against your Account, this is called an”overdraft”. We will handle each overdraft in accordance with our Standard Overdraft Policy (described below) or in accordance with any other agreement you may have with us (such as an overdraft protection agreement). Even if we choose to pay one or more overdrafts, we are not obligated to cover any future overdrafts.When we determine whether payment of an item will create an overdraft, we may determine the balance of your account at any time between the time we receive the item and the deadline for us to take action on the item. We are not required to determine your account balance more than one (1) time during this period. (C) Standard Overdraft Policy. Unless we have agreed to a separate overdraft protection agreement with you, the following rules apply. We are not obligated to pay any overdraft. Subject to the special rules discussed below for transactions at an ATM and one-time debit card transactions, we may assess a service charge on any withdrawal created by check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal, or other electronic means that results in an overdraft, whether we pay the overdraft or not. If we pay the overdraft, you agree, immediately upon notice from us, to deposit funds sufficient to cover the overdraft plus any service charge we impose. For consumer accounts, we may not impose a service charge in connection with an overdraft that results from a transaction at an ATM or a one-time debit card transaction unless you have given us your consent to pay service charges in connection with overdrafts that result from these transactionsand we have sent written confirmation of that consent to you. You may revoke that consent at any time. (D) Notice Requirements. Federal regulations require us to retain the right to require you to give at least seven (7) days notice in writing prior to any intended withdrawal from a savings, negotiable order ofwithdrawal (“NOW”), or money market account. Although we usually pay withdrawals or checks without notice on these accounts, doing so does not mean that we give up this right. (E) Postdated Items. You agree that when you write a check, you will not date the check in the future. If you do and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may pay it or return it unpaid. You agree that if we pay the check, the check will be posted to your Account on thedate we pay the check, even though the posting date is prior to the date of the check. You further agree that we are not responsible for any loss to you in doingso. We will not honor a postdated check if we receive advance notice from you at such a time and in such a manner as to afford us reasonable opportunity to act. The notice must be in writing, and it must specify the date, amount, and number of the check, along with the name of the payee. Notices are effective for the time periods stated under STOP PAYMENT ORDERS. You agree that we may return a postdated check to the presenter. (F) Power of Attorney. The personexecuting a power of attorney will be referred to as the principal and the person acting for the principal as the agent. We may refuse to comply with a power of attorney for reasonable cause, or until we receive an affidavit from the agent stating that the Power of Attorney presented is a true copy and that, to the best ofthe agent’s knowledge, the principal is alive and that the relevant powers of the agent have not been altered or terminated. (G) Signatures. You recognize that we have adopted automated collection and payment procedures so that we can process the greatest volume of items at the lowest possible cost to our customers. In light of this, you agree that we do not fail to exercise ordinary care in paying an item solely because our procedures do not provide for the sightexamination of items with a face amount below an amount specified by us from time to time.

CHECKING ACCOUNTS. If your account is a checking account, the following terms may apply. If we offer NOW accounts, the account must consist solely of funds in which the entire beneficial interest is held by one or more individuals in an individual capacity, a sole proprietor, or a governmental unit, but not professional corporations or business partnerships.

Otherwise, an organization may hold a NOW account only if it is operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, or other similar purpose.
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. If your account is an interest bearing account and is not a NOW account or time deposit, the following terms may apply.

TIME DEPOSITS. If your Account is a time deposit, you have agreed to keep the funds on deposit until the maturity of your Account. If your Account has notmatured, any withdrawal of all or part of the funds from your Account may result in an early withdrawal penalty. We will consider requests for early withdrawal and, if granted, the penalty provided in the Schedule will apply. (A) Penalty. The early withdrawal penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the accrued interest that has or would be earned on the Account. If your Account has not yet earned enough interest so that the penalty can be deducted from earned interest, or if the interest already has been paid, the difference will be deducted from the principal amount of your Account. Forfixed rate Accounts, we will use the rate in effect for your deposit. (B) Exceptions. We may let you withdraw money from your Account before the maturitydate without an early withdrawal penalty: (1) when one or more of you dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other administrative body of competent jurisdiction; or (2) when the Account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) established in accordance with 26 USC 408 and the money is paidwithin seven (7) days after the Account is opened; or (3) when the Account is a Keogh Plan (Keogh), if you forfeit at least the interest earned on thewithdrawn funds; or (4) if the time deposit is an IRA or Keogh Plan established pursuant to 26 USC 408 or 26 USC 401, when you reach age 59 1/2 or becomedisabled; or (5) within an applicable grace period (if any).

Stop Payment Against a Check or Other Item. A stop payment request against a check or other item payable from your Account will be effective if we receive the order at such time and in such manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. A stop payment order against a check or other item payable from your Account is effective for six (6) months, but it lapses after fourteen (14) calendar days if the original order was oral and was not confirmed in writing within that period. A stop payment order against a check or other item payable from your Account may be renewed for additional six(6) month periods if renewed during a period within which the stop payment order is effective.
Stop Payment Against an ACH/EFT. For consumer accounts, a stop payment order against an ACH/EFT may be honored if received at least three (3) banking days before the scheduled date of the transfer. If we honor a stop payment request against an ACH/EFT received on or within three (3) banking days of thescheduled transfer, we do so without any liability or responsibility to any party having any interest in the entry. A stop payment order against anACH/EFT is effective until the earlier of: (i) you withdraw the stop payment order, or (ii) the debit entry is returned, or, where a stop payment order is applied to more than one debit entry under a specific authorization involving a specific party, all such debit entries are returned. We may require you to provide us written confirmation of a verbal stop order request against an ACH/EFT within fourteen (14) calendar days. Additionally, if you request us to stop all future payments pursuant to a specific ACH/EFT authorization involving a particular party, we may require you to confirm in writing that you have revoked such authorization. For business accounts, a stop payment against an ACH/EFT is effective until the earlier of (i) you withdraw the stop payment order, (ii) the return of the debit entry, or (iii) six months from the date of the stop payment order, unless renewed in writing.
All stop payment order requests will require you to provide the date, the amount, and the number of the item or authorization, together with the name of the payee.If you give us incorrect information, we will not be liable for failing to stop payment on the item or authorization. Our acceptance of a stop payment order will notconstitute a representation that the item or authorization has not already been paid or that we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. You may not stop payment on an official, certified, cashier’s, or teller’s check issued by us, or request us to stop payment if we have otherwise become accountable for the item or authorization. In addition, you may not stop payment on checks governed by a separate agreement, such as a check guaranty agreement. Further you may not stop payment on an item or authorization after acceptance of the same by us.

Advisory Against Illegal Use. You agree not to use your card(s) for illegal gambling or other illegal purpose.
Display of a 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).
The bank may charge an overdraft fee on an “authorized-positive, settle-negative”, which is when a transaction that was authorized with a positive balance in the account but settles on a future date without sufficient funds to cover the transaction.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 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:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the credit limit.
- If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- 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:
- where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
- in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
- in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
- as explained in the separate Privacy Disclosure
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
(a) Consumer liability.
- Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no 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 do 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 unforeseen circumstances (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
- Additional Limit on Liability for VisaĀ® Check Card. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen VisaĀ® Check Card. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions, to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed by VISA, or to commercial cards.
(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.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any).
- 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.
- 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 (5 business days for VisaĀ® Check Card point-of sale transactions and 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 (5 business days for VisaĀ® Check Card point-of-sale transactions and 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 you 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.

The Visa currency conversion procedure includes use of either a government-mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate selected by Visa. The exchange rate Visa uses will be a rate in effect on the day the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of purchase or the date the transaction was posted to your account.
Visa charges us a Currency Conversion Assessment of 20 basis points (2% of the transaction) for performing the currency conversion. In addition, Visa charges us an Issuer Cross-Border Assessment of 80 basis points (8% of the transaction) on all cross-border transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conver-sion. As a result, we charge you a Currency Conversion fee of .2% and a Cross-Border Transaction fee of 8%. The Cross-Border Transaction fee is charged on all cross-border transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. A cross-border transaction is a transaction processed through the Global Clearing Management System or the Visa Debit Switch in which the country of the merchant is different than the country of the cardholder.
Coin Circulation Issue
STATEMENT FROM THE U.S. COIN TASK FORCE ON THE COIN CIRCULATION ISSUE
July 24, 2020
Coin circulation has emerged as a new disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have referred to this as a shortage; however, it is not. There is approximately $48 billion in coins already in circulation, most of which is sitting dormant inside Americaās 128 million households. As people have changed their spending habits, and coin-intensive businesses and financial institution lobbies have been less accessible, the nationās coin is pooling in change jars, in car cup holders, and in shuttered businesses, making it difficult for the businesses of this country to get the coin that they need to support cash transactions. To address the circulation problem, the United States Mint and Federal Reserve established a U.S. Coin Task Force in July 2020 that includes representatives of critical parts of the coin supply chain.
āThe weak circulation affects most everyone but the hardest hit are small cash-dependent businesses and those who are least well offā says Hannah vL. Walker, a Task Force member and Vice President with FMI ā The Food Industry Association. āFor millions of Americans, cash is the only form of payment.ā
If just a fraction of the coin sitting dormant in households is redeemed, this problem can be solved.
Every Coin Counts: What the American Public Can Do to Help
While the U.S. Coin Task Force is completing their work, the Task Force urges the American public to:
- Start spending their coin;
- Deposit coin at their financial institutions; and
- Redeem coin at coin kiosks
- Use the hashtag #getcoinmoving in your own social media posts to promote awareness and
understanding of this issue
As important as it is to #getcoinmoving, consumer safety is paramount, and the Task Force encourages everyone to follow CDC recommendations regarding personal safety when visiting retailers, small businesses, banks, grocery stores, and credit unions.

What Else You Should Know
- A link to another account or a line of credit is a less expensive option than an overdraft. A single larger overdraft will result in just one fee, as opposed to multiple smaller overdrafts. Good account management is the best way to avoid overdrafts. Use our mobile banking, Internet banking, and telephone banking services to keep track of your balance. For additional financial education resources, please visit www.mymoney.gov.
- The $28.00 Overdraft Fee is the same fee amount/lower than the fee that is charged if a check is returned as unpaid. If multiple items overdraw your account on the same day, each item will be assessed an appropriate Overdraft Fee or a NSF Fee of $28.00. All fees and charges will be included as part of the Overdraft Privilege limit amount. Your account may become overdrawn in excess of the Overdraft Privilege limit amount as a fee.
- For consumer accounts, there is a limit of 3 Overdraft Fees or NSF Fees ($84.00) per day we will charge. We will not charge an Overdraft Fee if a consumer account is overdrawn by $10.00 or less or if the amount of the item is $10.00 or less.
- We generally post items in the following order: 1) credits, 2) ATM and debit card transactions (in the order received), 3) ACH debits (low to high by dollar amount, 4) checks (check number order); however, exceptions will occur. Holds on funds (described below) and the order in which transactions are posted may impact the total amount of Overdraft Fees or Return Fees assessed.
- Although under payment system rules, First National Bank of Griffin may be obligated to pay some unauthorized debit card transactions, First National Bank of Griffin will not authorize debit card or ATM transactions unless there are available funds (including Overdraft Coverage Options) to cover the transactions and anv feels).
- Giving us your consent on your consumer account to pay every day debit card and ATM overdrafts may result in you incurring Overdraft Fees for transactions that we would otherwise be required to pay without assessing an Overdraft Fee. However, this would allow us to authorize transactions up to the amount of your Overdraft Privilege limit and mav also help you avoid overdrafts in excess of your available funds that could result in restriction of your debit card.
- First National Bank of Griffin authorizes and pays transactions using the available balance in your account.
The available balance is comprised of the ledger balance (collected funds) less any debit card holds, and does not include any deposited funds on hold. First National Bank of Griffin may place a hold on deposited funds in accordance with our Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure. If the funds in the available balance are not sufficient to cover a transaction, any available overdraft protection and/or the amount of the Overdraft Privilege limit, may be used to authorize and pay a transaction - Please be aware that the Overdraft Privilege amount is not included in your balance provided through online banking, mobile banking or First National Bank of Griffin’s ATMs.
- First National Bank of Griffin will place a hold on your account for any authorized debit card transaction until the transaction settles (usually within two business days) or as permitted by payment system rules. In some cases, the hold may exceed the amount of the transaction. When the hold ends the excess amount held will be added to the available balance in your account. If your account is overdrawn after the held funds are added to the available balance and the transaction is posted to the available balance, an Overdraft Fee may be assessed.
- Except as described in this letter, First National Bank of Griffin may not pay items if your account does not contain available funds (including the Overdraft Privilege limit) to cover the items) and the amount of any fee(s).
- We may restrict your debit card use if you incur overdrafts in excess of the available funds in your account, including any Overdraft Privilege limit. If you use your debit card for recurring payments, e.g., utilities, and your debit card is ever suspended, these transactions will be returned to the payee(s). You will need to make other arrangements to make these payments to the payee(s).
- An Overdraft Privilege limit of $100 is available for eligible Personal and Business Checking accounts at account opening.
- Overdraft Privilege limits of up to $500 or $1,000, depending on checking product type, are available for eligible Personal Checking accounts opened at least 60 days in good standing.
- Overdraft Privilege is not a line of credit; it is a discretionary overdraft service that can be withdrawn at any time without prior notice.
- Overdraft Privilege may be discontinued if you default on any loan or other obligation to us, your account becomes subject to any legal or administrative order or levy, or if you fail to maintain your account in good standing by not bringing your account to a positive balance within fourteen (14) days for a minimum of one business day.
- Depositor and each Authorized Signatory will continue to be liable, jointly and severally, for all overdraft and fee amounts, as described in the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure. The total (negative) balance, including all fees and charges, is due and payable upon demand.
If you have any questions about Overdraft Protection or Overdraft Privilege, please call a Customer Service Representative or our Bookkeeping Department at (770) 227-2251 or visit a branch.

Interest Charge Methods (ICM) and Computation of Balance Subject to Interest Charge Calculation Method applicable to your account for Cash Advances and Credit Purchases of goods and services that you obtain through the use of your card is specified on the front side of this statement and explained below:
Method A – Average Daily Balance (including new transactions). The Interest Charge on purchases begins from the date the transaction is posted to your account, and the Interest Charge on cash advances begins from the date you obtained the cash advance, or the first day of the billing cycle in which it is posted to your account, whichever is later. There is no grace period.
The Interest Charges for a filing cycle are computed by applying the Periodic Rate to the “average daily balance” of your account. To get the average daily balance, we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new purchases or cash advances, and subtract any payments, credits, non-accruing fees and unpaid interest charges. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle.
Method E – Average Daily Balance (excluding new transactions). To avoid incurring an additional Interest Charge on the balance of purchases (and cash advances if Method E is specified as applicable to cash advances) reflected on your monthly statement, you must pay the entire “New Balance” in full, shown on your monthly statement on or before the Payment Due Date.

- Account Information: Your name and account number
- Dollar Amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error
- Description of Problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.

You may call us, but if you do, we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question. While we investigate whether or not there has been an error, the following are true:
- We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
- The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. But, if we determine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
- While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
- We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true:
-
-
- The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
- You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
- You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

Ready Reserve Agreement
READY RESERVE AGREEMENT
Use of your First National Bank (āBankā) READY RESERVE (āR/Rā) indicates your consent to the following terms and conditions.
USE OF THE ACCOUNT Ā· If you have a personal Bank checking account and you have signed a request for R/R overdraft protection, whenever you write checks on your checking account that overdraws your balance, amounts in $50.00 multiples (not to exceed your credit limit) may be deposited to your checking account and charged to your R/R Account. You also may request an advance (not to exceed your credit limit) to be deposited to your checking account.
Bank treats both the direct advance and overdraft advances mentioned above as loans. You will be informed of the debt limit Bank allows you to incur by use of your R/R. However, if for any reason Bank advances more than your R/R limit, you must pay the excess amount immediately.
STATEMENT AND BILLING PROCEDURES – Bank will send you a monthly statement which will be combined with your checking account statement. Your checking account will be debited for 5% of your R/R balance or $15.00, whichever is greater, and applied to your R/R account as a payment, first to interest, then to principal on the same day as your closing date of your statement cycle. If your checking account does not have sufficient funds to allow for this debit, either you should make the payment or you will be debited for the past due amount along with your regular payment the next month.
When a credit balance in excess of S1.00 is created on your R/R account, whether through overpayment, through rebates or otherwise, Bank shall (i) credit the amount of the balance to your R/R account, (ii) refund any part of the remaining credit balance within seven business days from the receipt of a written request from you, and (iii) make a good faith effort to refund you by cash, check, or money order, or by credit to your deposit account, any part of the credit balance remaining in your R/R account for more than six months.
You may make a payment or pay off your balance at anytime. The finance charge is calculated on a daily basis, therefore your pay off may change each day.
Payment made shall be deemed to be received upon receipt at our mailing address or at any Bank branch office and shall be credited to your R/R account as of the date of such receipt.
Payments made by any other means will be forwarded to us for crediting to your R/R account. Such payments may be subject to a delay in crediting of up to five days after the date you deliver them. Payment shall be by cash and must be paid by the Payment Due Date shown on your periodic statement.
Payments must be received before closing time in order to be credited that day. Payments received after closing time or at any time on Saturday, Sunday or a day on which Bank is authorized by law to be closed will be credited to your R/R account as of the date of our next business day.
Bank may accept late payments or partial payments even though marked āpayment in fullā or containing similar legends without losing any of its rights under this Agreement. FINANCE CHARGE – A finance charge will be imposed on your R/R account and will be shown on your periodic statement unless your balance has been paid in full.
The finance charge begins to accrue on your R/R account on the first day on which there is an outstanding balance on your R/R account. The FINANCE CHARGE on your R/R account will be computed by multiplying the daily balance by the daily periodic rate of 0.0493%.
The Daily Balance for each day of the billing cycle will be the balance owed at the beginning of the billing cycle (called the Beginning Balance on your periodic statement), if any, plus all overdraft advances, minus any unpaid finance charge, other charges, and payments and credits posted through that day. For purposes of calculating the Daily Balance, a credit balance will be considered a zero balance.
The Monthly Periodic Rate is equal to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE OF 18%. SECURITY INTEREST – All property (except real property now used or expected to be used in the future as your principal dwelling) in which you previously have granted to us a security interest, or in which you in the future grant to us a security interest, also secures your obligations under this Agreement. DEFAULT – Default occurs when any other following things occur: You fail to make when due a payment on your R/R account as provided for in this Agreement, you otherwise violate this Agreement, you die, you move outside the State of Georgia, an order for relief is entered in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by or against you, you fail to pay your debts generally as they become due, a lien or garnishment is filed against any of your properties, you make false representation in applying for this R/R account, you have another obligation to Bank in default, or we reasonably feel insecure regarding your repayment of amounts advanced under the R/R. REMEDIES – If you are in default, then Bank may demand immediate payment of all accounts outstanding under your R/R account and Bankās obligations under this Agreement will terminate. Bank may apply any deposits held in your account(s) with Bank or any other indebtedness owed to you by Bank to your R/R debt. You agree to pay all costs, disbursements, and reasonable attorneyās fees if your R/R account is collected by or through an attorney or in bankruptcy, or in any other judicial proceeding. If Bank does not exercise its rights on any one occasion, it may still do so upon any later default by you. PEOPLE OBLIGATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENTĀ· The words āyouā and āyourā used in this Agreement refer to everyone signing a First National Bank Ready Reserve Application or an Acceptance CARD for a R/R, to their executors and estates, and to everyone using the R/R with the consent of anyone so signing. Each person so signing is jointly and severally obligated for this R/R. MISCELLANEOUS – Either you or Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time simply by giving written notice to the other. If this Agreement is terminated, you are still liable for any amounts outstanding under your R/R account.
Bank may request updated information from you or may review your credit information in connection with your R/R account and take any action it deems necessary.
If Bank decides to change this Agreement in any way, it will mail you a written notice of the change to your last given address. You agree that these changes will take effect 30 days after the mailing of notice to you unless you notify Bank in writing within those 30 days that you are electing to terminate this Agreement and unless you pay your R/R account balance in full within those 30 days. You must notify us of any change in your billing address.
You agree that Bank may regard the periodic statement of your R/R account as correct unless you notify Bank in writing of any error within 60 days after you receive a statement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia.
