Electronic Services Agreement & Disclosure


THIS IS YOUR ELECTRONIC SERVICES AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE.  IT INCLUDES NECESSARY FEDERAL STATEMENTS AS REQUIRED BY THE ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER ACT (15 U.S.C. SECTION 1693 ET SEQ) AND REGULATION E AND ANY SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR VISA® DEBIT CARD AND OUR PERSONAL COMPUTER ACCOUNT ACCESS SYSTEM (“ONLINE BANKING”), EACH WITH THEIR CORRESPONDING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN) OR ACCESS CODE AND ANY CHECKS YOU AUTHORIZE TO BE PROCESSED ELECTRONICALLY (“E-CHECK”).

VISA® DEBIT CARD, ONLINE BANKING AND E-CHECK AGREEMENT.  This Agreement applies to any electronic fund transfer made to or from Your Account(s) by you or by any User who has access to Your Account with actual, apparent or implied authority for Use of Your Account.  Electronic fund transfers to and from Your Account can be made through the Use of, but may not be limited to the following: (a) Your Card in Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) or at any place that it is honored including those transactions made through the Use of the appropriate PIN in conjunction with Your Card; (b) Our Online Banking Personal Computer Account Access System; and (c) any check which You authorize the payee to process electronically.  An electronic fund transfer is any transfer of funds which is performed though the Use of Your Card, Our Online Banking system, E-Check or other electronic device. You understand that Your Card and any Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or Access Codes are issued by Us and are not transferable. The Use of Your Card, PIN and/or any other Account access device is subject to the following terms. You agree: (a) to abide by Our rules and regulations as amended related to the Use of Your Card, PIN and/or other Account access device; (b) that We may follow all instructions given to Machines; (c) not to Use Your Card for illegal transactions including, but not limited to, advances made for the purpose of gambling and/or wagering where such practices are in violation of applicable state and/or federal law; and (d) that each withdrawal by You or by any authorized User of Your Card or PIN may be charged to Your share or share draft Account, as appropriate, and will be treated as though it were a share withdrawal except that:  (1) We may charge withdrawals to Your share Account in any order We determine; and (2) We cannot honor stop payment requests on ATM and POS withdrawals.

We may, but are under no obligation to do so, process an Electronic Fund Transfer that exceeds the balance in Your share and/or share draft Account.  In the event that any such transfer occurs, You agree to immediately pay Us the overdrawn amount and to the extent permitted by law, any associated fees and charges.  For security reasons there are limits on the number of transactions that may be processed each day.

ISSUANCE OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND ACCESS CODES.  You will be issued separate Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to be used in conjunction with VISA® Debit Card transactions, and separate Access Codes to be used in conjunction with Online Banking transactions.  Your use of Your PIN or Access Code is your authorization to us to withdraw funds from your share Account or Your share draft Account to cover such transactions.

OWNERSHIP.  Your Card or any other Account access device will remain Our property and may be cancelled or its use restricted by Us at any time without notice.  You agree to surrender it and to discontinue its use immediately upon Our request.

OTHER AGREEMENT.  If electronic fund transfer transactions involve other agreements you have with Us, the terms of those agreements will apply as well.

BUSINESS DAYS.  Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

DELAYED FUNDS AVAILABILITY NOTICE.  Subject to Our Delayed Funds Availability Policy, deposits made at MOOG Employees Federal Credit Union locations may not be posted to Your Account until they are received and verified by Us.  All deposited items are removed from machines each business day. We are not responsible for delays in deposit posting due to improper identification on the deposit item. See Our Funds Availability Policy Disclosure for Our policy regarding the availability of Your deposit.

TYPES AND LIMITATIONS OF SERVICES

VISA® DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS.  At the present time, You may Use Your Card in conjunction with Your PIN to make unlimited deposits of cash and checks to Your share draft Account(s) in the MOOG Employees Federal Credit Union ATM (located at 7181 Seneca Street, East Aurora, NY 14052) and such other machines or facilities as We may designate.  You may also Use Your Card and PIN in any of Our network ATMs and such other machines or facilities as We may designate to: (a) withdraw cash from Your share draft Account, not to exceed $500.00 per day, provided there are available funds in Your Account; and (b) obtain balance information on Your share draft Account.

Additionally, You may Use Your Card and PIN to purchase goods and services (“POS”) at any business establishment where the Card is accepted (from Your share draft Account), provided there are available funds in Your Account.

ONLINE BANKING TRANSACTIONS.  At the present time, You may Use Online Banking in conjunction with Your Access Code, an internet connection, and a personal computer or internet-enabled mobile computing device (e.g. a smartphone or tablet) for the following services:  (a) transfer funds between Your share, share draft, money market and club Accounts; (b) obtain balance information on Your share, share draft, money market, club and loan accounts; and (c) make loan payments from share, share draft, money market and club Accounts to Your loan Accounts with Us.  Online Banking operates 24 hours every day. If You attempt to Use the system and are told the “the system is not available,” please try again later when service is restored.

You may also Use the Online Banking platform to access the Checkfree Bill Pay feature to:  (a) authorize the Credit Union to issue payments on Your behalf, provided there are available funds in Your Account; and (b) check the status of payments previously authorized through the Checkfree Bill Pay feature.  In order to Use the Bill Pay feature for such transactions, You must have a share draft Account with Us. By completing a bill pay transaction using the Bill Pay feature, You authorize Us to post any such payments to Your share draft Account.  Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer and will be sent to the payee on the 1st business day prior to the date You designate it to be sent.  The Credit Union cannot guarantee the time any payment will reach any of Your payees and accepts no liability for any service fees or late charges levied against You.  Payments requested to be sent on dates that do not exist in a given month (e.g. February 30th or April 31st), or fall on Saturdays, Sundays, Federal Reserve and other Credit Union observed holidays will be sent on the 1st business day preceding such date.

NOTIFICATION OF PRE-AUTHORIZED DEPOSITS.  If You have arranged to have direct deposits made to Your Account at least once every 60 days (from Your employer, the Federal government or other payer), You can call Us at the telephone number shown in this Agreement to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

RIGHT TO STOP PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS.  If You want to stop any pre-authorized payments, call Us at the telephone number shown in this Agreement or write Us as the address shown in this Agreement in time for Us to receive Your stop payment request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.  If You call, We may also require You to put Your request in writing and get it to Us within 14 days after You call. To be sure that third party does not bill You again for the “stopped” payment or to cancel the entire pre-authorized payment arrangement, contact the third party.

NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS.  If regular pre-authorized payments may vary in amount, the person You are going to pay will tell You, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be.  You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that You set.

OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO STOP PAYMENT.  If You order Us to place a stop payment on one of Your pre-authorized payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and We do not do so, We will be liable for losses or damages, to the extent provided by law.

TRANSACTION SLIPS.  You can get a receipt at the time You make any transaction to or from Your Account (except Online Banking, telephonic and mail-in transactions, and certain small-value transactions).  When an electronic transfer has been made during any given month, You will receive a monthly statement to reflect all electronic fund transfers to or from Your Account during that statement period.  In any case, You will receive a statement at least quarterly.

FEES.  We may assess reasonable charges against Your Account for transactions performed at electronic terminals.  If so, We will specify any charges for these or other types of electronic transactions, including automatic transfers, on an accompanying pricing document.  We will explain the charges to You when You open Your Account. You will be provided with a fee schedule and Online Banking information after Your Account is established.  Additional fee schedules are available at any of Our office locations. When You use an ATM not owned by Us, You may be charged a fee by the ATM operator, or any network Used, and You may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if You do not complete a fund transfer.

LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS.  If We do not properly complete a transaction to or from Your Account according to this Agreement, We will be liable for Your losses or damages.  However, We will not be liable if: (a) Your Account does not contain enough available funds to make the transaction through no fault of Ours; (b) the ATM where You are making the transfer does not have enough cash; (c) the terminal was not working properly and You knew about the breakdown when You started the transaction; (d) circumstances beyond Our control prevent the transaction despite reasonable precautions that We have taken; (e) Your Card is retrieved or retained by an ATM; (f) Your Card or PIN has been reported lost or stolen and We have blocked the Account; (g) the money in Your Account is subject to legal process or other claim; (h) there are other lawful exceptions established by Us and You are given proper advance notice of them; (i) You exceed any limits on Your Account; and (j) the debit card network does not allow the transaction to proceed due to anti-fraud or similar consumer protections employed by that network.

LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE.  If You believe Your Card or PIN have been lost or stolen or if You believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without Your permission using information from Your check:

Telephone Us at (716) 655-2360

Or write to Us at:

MOOG Employees Federal Credit Union

Telephoning is the best way of keeping Your possible losses down.  You could lose all of the money in Your Account (plus Your Maximum overdraft line of credit, if applicable).

If You tell Us within 2 business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your Card or PIN, You can lose no more than $50.00 if someone uses Your Card or PIN without Your permission.  If You fail to tell Us within 2 business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your Card or PIN and We can prove that We could have stopped someone from Using Your Card or PIN without Your permission if You had told Us, then You could lose as much as $500.00.  Additionally, if Your periodic statement shows transactions that You did not make, You will 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 on time.  If a valid reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps You from giving Us notice, we will extend the time periods.

Exception:  You will have no liability for unauthorized use for Your VISA® Debit Card as long as You report the loss or theft of Your VISA® Debit Card within 2 business days.  These exceptions do not apply to:  (a) transactions that originate at an ATM; or (b) transactions that originate from Your gross negligence; or (c) transactions that originate from Your fraudulent Use of Your VISA® Debit Card; or (d) transactions processed through non-VISA® networks without cardholder PIN validation.
