The Services / System permit the Administrator to establish a dual control security procedure (the “Dual Control Security Procedure”) for out bound payment transaction (e.g., including but not limited to wire transfers, ACH processing, Bill Pay, etc.). The Dual Control Security Procedure requires one User to log into TTS using Valid Codes and schedule a Service (e.g., an out bound payment) and a second User to log into TTS using Valid Codes and transmit/release the Service (e.g., an out bound payment).  This option provides the Client with superior protection from fraud through the use of multi-factor authentication provided by the use of Valid Codes from two (2) Users in order to complete an intended transaction.  The Dual Control Security Procedure should be an integral part of the Client’s overall Security Procedures for Systems and Services.  In the event the Client desires not to use the Dual Control Security Procedure, it does so at its own risk.    
  2. Secure FTP Service Provider.
  1. The Client and the Bank shall agree upon the Secure FTP Service Provider to be used for the processing of the selected Services.
  2. In connection with the Secure FTP Service Provider, the Bank and the Client agree to operate in either or both of the following ways: (a) using SSL Certificate that requires the Client to have a User Name, password, and SSL Certificate for each User and/or (b) using automated transmission that requires User Name, SSH Key, and the Client designated IP Address(es).
  1. Authorization. The Bank will consider and the Client agrees, any access to TTS, the Systems / Services, or the Secure FTP Service Provider through the use of Valid Codes, IP Address(es) (as applicable to SSH Key), and/or SSL Certificate(s)/SSH Key (as applicable), to be duly authorized by the Client and the Bank will therefore seek to carry out any instructions received via said Systems / Services or the Secure FTP Service Provider, regardless of, and without verifying, the identity of any person giving such instructions.  The Client hereby authorizes the Bank to treat any instruction transmitted with Valid Codes, IP Address(es) (as applicable to SSH Key), and/or SSL Certificate(s)/SSH Key (as applicable)) as having been made to the Bank in writing and signed by the Designate User in the name of the Client.  In the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, the Bank’s records with respect to such instructions will be conclusive regarding access to, or action taken through TTS, the Mobile Banking App, the Systems / Services, or the Secure FTP Service Provider using Valid Codes, IP Address(es) (as applicable to SSH Key), and/or SSL Certificate(s)/SSH Key (as applicable)), whether such access or action is by the Client’s Designated Users, or by any employee or any party who has obtained access to any Systems, Services, or the Secure FTP Service Provider through the Client’s failure to maintain adequate internal controls. vi. Access and use of Systems / Services and use/delivery of files through the Secure FTP Service Provider.  The Client shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining the procedures to safeguard against unauthorized access to Systems / Services and to the Secure FTP Service Provider, which includes antivirus, anti-malware, firewalls, and access controls, and any other commercially reasonable protection mechanisms, and, if required, updates to such procedures and monitoring by the Client of its compliance with such procedures as outlined within this Agreement or as may be required by the Bank or its service providers.  The Client warrants that no individual will be allowed access to the Systems / Services and the Secure FTP Service Provider in the absence of proper supervision and safeguards and agrees to maintain the confidentiality of these Security Procedures, Valid Codes, IP Address(es) (as applicable to SSH Key), and/or SSL Certificate(s)/SSH Key (as applicable), and any other related instructions provided by the Bank in connection with the applicable Security Procedures, as set forth herein.  If the Client, at any time, has reason to believe or suspect that any such information or instructions have been compromised or disclosed to or accessed by any unauthorized person or used in a manner not authorized by the Client, the Client agrees to notify the Bank via phone or e-mail as soon as such an intrusion is detected, followed by written confirmation.  The occurrence of unauthorized access will not affect any transactions executed in good faith by the Bank prior to its receipt of such notification.  In the event a transaction has not been executed, any such notification of unauthorized access that is provided to the Bank must be prior to execution of the transaction and with a reasonable time period to allow the Bank, on a best-efforts basis, to prevent or cancel the transaction.  
  1. Unauthorized use.  Any transaction initiated in accordance with these agreed upon Security Procedures shall be deemed to be authorized by the Client and the Bank.  The Client is responsible for all transactions deemed authorized by the Client.  The Client is responsible for all transactions initiated by Designated Users until such time as the Bank has been notified, in writing and with reasonable period of time to allow the Bank to act upon the revocation of authority.  The Client is responsible for all transactions, payments, and instructions provided to the Bank (including those processed through the Secure FTP Service Provider) through User’s Valid Codes, IP Address(es) (as applicable to SSH Key), and/or SSL Certificate(s)/SSH Key (as applicable), regardless of whether such transaction, payment, or instruction was authorized.  The Client shall be solely responsible for any losses as a result of any compromised or unauthorized information or instructions delivered to the Bank.  Because the Bank may rely upon and act in accordance with any communication received by the Bank purporting to be a communication by a User on the Client’s behalf, without inquiring as to the source of such transmission or identity of such person, the Client hereby discharges and releases the Bank from all liability resulting from the Bank’s execution of transactions initiated pursuant to the agreed upon Security Procedures using Valid Codes through any Systems, Service(s) or the Secure FTP Service Provider.
  2. The SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES contained herein may be modified as mutually agreed to in writing by and between the Client, Administrator, Users and the Bank.  No modification or amendment to the SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES shall be binding on the Bank unless it is in writing, approved by the Bank’s Legal Department, and signed by both parties.  Only a Bank’s CEO, President, or the General Counsel (or equivalent) title shall be authorized to modify or amend the Bank’s SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES. ix. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Bank, in its sole discretion, may apply the SECURITY PROCEDURES for manual wire transfers found in the UNIVERSAL MANUAL VERIFICATION WIRE TRANSFER AGREEMENT, including the performance of call back procedures to any System and/or Service transaction.
  1. The Client acknowledges and agrees that consistent with the provision herein titled Notices and communications, should the Bank determine to perform a call back verification and record the same, the Bank at in sole discretion can cease processing the payment order should the Customer refuse the recording of said call back.  With respect to the foregoing, the Client shall hold the Bank harmless consistent with Section 3, paragraph titled Indemnification. 
  2. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of the SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES is to verify the authenticity of the use of any of the Systems, Services, or Secure FTP Service Provider instituted payment, transaction, or instruction delivered to the Bank and that the SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES are not designed to detect errors in any such payment, transaction or instruction and in no case shall the Bank be responsible or liable for the detection of or failure to detect any payment, transaction or instruction presented to the Bank in the name of the Client.
  1. Liability; Limitation of Liability; and Disclaimers.
  1. Liability. The Bank and its affiliates shall have no liability to Customer for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of this Agreement, the Services or the System except for liability arising as a direct result of the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing or failing to perform the Services. In the performance of the Services required by this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled to rely solely on the information, representations, and warranties provided by the Customer pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness thereof. The Bank shall not be responsible for the Customer’s acts or omissions (including without limitation the amount, accuracy, timeliness of transmittal or authorization of any Payment Order / wire transfer, Bill Pay, Entry, or any other transaction received from the Customer) or those of any person, including without limitation any Federal Reserve Bank, Automated Clearing House or transmission or communications facility, any Receiver or RDFI (including without limitation the return of an entry by such RDFI), and no such person shall be deemed the Bank’s agent.  The Bank shall be excused from failing to act or delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission, or communication facilities, equipment failure, Force Majeure Event, or other circumstances beyond the Bank’s control. In addition, the Bank shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting any transaction if such transmittal would result in the Bank’s having exceeded any limitation upon its intra-day net funds position established pursuant to Federal Reserve guidelines or if the Bank is otherwise violating any provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority. The Bank shall not be liable for failure to perform any of its obligations in connection with the Services or Systems if such performance would result in it being in breach of Applicable Law.

If the Bank fails to credit any of the Customer’s Eligible Account(s) in accordance with the Deposit Agreement as of the date such credit was earned, upon discovery or notification of such amount, the Bank shall not incur any liability therefore, including any loss resulting from failure by the Customer to invest the amount of funds not properly credited to the Eligible Account.  The Customer agrees that the Bank shall not be liable to the Customer for any act done or step taken or omitted in good faith, or for any mistake in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement, except resulting from the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Bank’s liability for loss of interest resulting from its error or delay shall be calculated by using a rate equal to the average Federal Funds Rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the period involved.  Except as otherwise expressly mandated by Applicable Law, in no case shall the Bank be liable or responsible to the Customer (regardless of the form of the cause of action and regardless of whether the liability or responsibility arises under contract, quasi-contract, tort and/or negligence) in an amount which exceeds the sum of the previous twelve (12) months of all fees actually paid by the Customer to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY OR FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INSTALLATION, USE, MAINTENANCE, OR INCOMPATIBILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, ACCESS TO OR USE OF ONLINE BANKING OR ANY PROBLEMS YOU EXPERIENCE DUE TO CAUSES BEYOND OUR CONTROL OR WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS DISCLOSED TO OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY THE BANK.

  1. Internet Disclaimer.  The Bank does not, and cannot, control the flow of any documents, files, data or other information via the internet, whether to or from the Bank's network, other portions of the internet or otherwise.  Such flow depends in large part on the performance of internet services provided or controlled by third parties.  Actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt Client's connections to the internet (or portions thereof).  The Bank cannot guarantee that such events will not occur.  Accordingly, the Bank disclaims any and all liability arising out of, resulting from or related to, such events, and in no event shall the Bank be liable for any damages of any kind (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) that are attributable or in any way related to the internet infrastructure or Client's or the Bank’s ability or inability to connect to the internet.
  1. Indemnification.  To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Client shall indemnify, reimburse, protect, save, hold harmless and defend the Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, and its third party services providers and their officers, directors, employees and agents (Indemnities) from and against any and all liability, third party claims, losses, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, controversies, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigatory fees) fines or penalties (whether groundless or otherwise and regardless of the form of the cause of action or whether the liability or responsibility arises under contract, quasi-contract, tort and/or negligence) incurred by or asserted against such Indemnities resulting directly or indirectly from:
  1. The Client’s access to or use of the Systems, Websites, Software, and the Services;
  2. The Client’s failure to meet its obligations, representations, covenants, warranties, duties or other responsibilities of the Client arising under this Agreement or any other claim against the Indemnities by reason of any acts or omissions of the Client or any third party or otherwise,
  3. The rights of any third party, including that arising from your provision of a phone number, e-mail address, or other delivery location that is not your own;
  4. Any and all fines and assessments imposed on the Bank as a result of any infraction or violation of

Applicable Law caused by or attributable to the Client;

  1. The Client’s infringement, or infringement by any other User of an Eligible Account, of any intellectual property or other right of anyone;  
  2. Any willful misconduct, negligence, action or omission on the part of any individuals who have been listed as the Administrator or User authorized to act on the Client’s behalf;  
  3. Transmission of incorrect data to the Bank; viii. Failure to maintain compliance with the Rules; ix.         Failure to destroy original Checks;
  1. Deposit of an electronic representation of a substitute check into an Eligible Account instead of an original Check;
  2. Deposit of a Prohibited Check; or
  3. The Bank performing its obligations under this Agreement, or from the Bank’s attempted or actual execution of any request, instruction or order from the Client, except to the extent such is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnities (provided that reliance, without further investigation, on any oral, telephonic, electronic, written or other request, notice or instruction believed in good faith to have been given by the Client will in no event constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnities).

However, Client is not obligated to indemnify the Bank for any damages solely and proximately caused by the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. We reserve the right to defend/control (at our own expense) any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In such a case, you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You won't settle any action or claims on our behalf without our prior written consent. You are providing this indemnification without regard to whether our claim for indemnification is due to the use of the Service by you or your Users.

  1. Procedure for Indemnification.  If the Bank seeks indemnification under this Agreement, the Bank shall notify the Client within thirty (30) days after learning of the occurrence of any event that is asserted to be an indemnifiable event.  If such event involves a claim by a third party, and the Client confirms in writing its responsibility for such liability, if established, the Client shall be entitled to participate in, and assume control over the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim. The Bank shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof at the expense of the Client if (a) the retention of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the Client, or (b) the Client does not notify the Bank within twenty (20) days after receipt of a claim notice.  The Client shall obtain the prior written approval of the Bank before entering into any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, adjustment, compromise, or cessation, injunctive relief or other relief would be imposed against the Bank.
  2. Cooperation in loss recovery efforts. In the event of any damages for which the Bank and the Client may be liable to each other or to a third party pursuant to the Services provided under this Agreement, the Bank and the Client will undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other, as permitted by Applicable Law, in performing loss recovery efforts and in connection with any actions that the relevant party may be obligated to defend or elects to pursue against a third party.  With respect to the ACH Service, the Client when operating as a TPS, represents and warrants that the Originator has agreed to undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate, as permitted by Applicable Law, in performing loss recovery efforts in connection with any actions that the Bank may be obligated to defend or elects to pursue against a third party. o. Alerts.

  2. Linked Eligible Accounts. All Eligible Accounts will be linked by the Tax Identification Numbers of the persons or business authorized to access such an account. The Eligible Accounts will appear together without regard to the ownership of such accounts. For example, if a User accesses the Service, that User will be able to view and access at a single time any accounts for which the person is a co-owner or any Eligible Account that is part of the Client profile.  
  3. Permissible Loan(s) linked to the Client’s TTS Profile.  To the extent the Client herein or through other written instruction instructs the Bank to link a Permissible Loan and elects the option to Draw/Advance, then the Client agrees and acknowledges that any draws made under such Permissible Loan(s) through TTS or Mobile Banking App pursuant to the agreed upon Security Procedures shall be the Client’s responsibility, and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the underlying Permissible Loan’s loan documents.  Further, the Client acknowledges that any such draw/advance shall be the Client’s responsibility and shall be deemed valid amounts outstanding under the Permissible Loan, including but not limited to any such credit advances and finance charges, together with all costs and expenses for which the Client is responsible under the applicable credit facility.  
  4. Signatures received via facsimile (fax) or scanned images.

  5. The Client’s responsibility for contingency plan(s). The Client shall devise contingency plans suitable to the nature, size, and risks of its business in the event the Systems / Services become unavailable or Force Majeure Events prevent their use.  Such plans, at a minimum, should provide for physical delivery of items to one of the Bank’s branches or the use of couriers to deliver items/instructions for the execution of transactions, as well as completing Universal Manual Verification Wire Transfer Agreement (which will be provided to you upon request) in order to perform manual wires in the event of a System or Service outage.  
  6. Security interest granted. Client hereby grants to Bank a continuing security interest in (1) all of Client’s deposit accounts with Bank.  If any deposit account of Client with Bank is overdrawn, or if Client defaults on any obligation, direct or indirect, including any guaranties, owed to Bank, Bank, at its sole discretion, may dispose of such deposit accounts and/or investments made by it pursuant to this Agreement as security for payment of the obligations then owed by Client to Bank, and/or Bank may sell or order to be sold any investments made by it for Client pursuant to this Agreement and the proceeds toward and as a set off against the amount owed to Bank by Client. The Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Florida Uniform Commercial Code.
  7. Available Funds vs Collected Funds. You agree, understand, and acknowledge that funds made available pursuant to Regulation CC and Collected Funds are not the same thing.  If the payor bank / financial institution (drawee’s bank) returns any such deposited item, for any reason, you agree that it is your responsibility and obligation to make the Bank whole and that you will hold the Bank harmless and indemnify it consistent with Section 3, paragraph titled Indemnification.  Further, if an overdraft occurred, you agree to pay the full amount of the overdraft and any service charge as noted in the Bank’s Schedule of Fees.  
  8. Exposure Limits.  In relation to the utilization of any of the Services, irrespective of whether such utilization is explicitly addressed within this Agreement, Client hereby covenants not to surpass the origination, processing, or any other limit(s) as provided by the Bank to the Client upon the establishment of the Service and/or as mutually agreed upon by the parties. All users of the Bank’s Services shall be subject to continuous and, where applicable, an annual review and analysis of exposure limits. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify the exposure limit levels of any Service at any time should we ascertain that the Bank’s exposure to additional risk factors, including but not limited to unusual return volume, overdrawn accounts, or any other relevant risk factor. Furthermore, we may adjust exposure limits based on the appropriateness of the Client's activities.
  9. Settlement Reserve.  The Client may be required to maintain a reserve (“Settlement Reserve”) of an amount to be solely determined by the Bank.  Client agrees that the Settlement Reserve will be deposited in an Eligible Account for the exclusive use by the Bank for the purpose of resolving or settling Client obligations under this Agreement. Should the Settlement Reserve fall below the thresholds determined by the Bank, in its sole discretion, the Client shall immediately replenish the Settlement Reserve to the amount previously determined via immediately available funds into the Settlement Reserve. Client hereby grants the Bank a security interest in, and assigns all rights, title, and interest to the Settlement Reserve. Client agrees that the assignment of the Settlement Reserve is for the express purpose of enabling the Bank to enforce any obligations of the Client under this Agreement, without the necessity of notice or demand to the Client. This assignment is an unconditional and immediate transfer, remaining effective for ninety (90) days after either party terminates this Agreement.  No interest will be paid on the Settlement Reserve.  
  10. Virus Protection. The Bank is not responsible for any electronic virus, viruses, malware, or spyware that you may encounter. We suggest that you routinely scan your computer using a virus protection and anti- malware/antispyware product. An undetected virus may corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and your hardware. The Bank recommends that you download and install a virus detection program to enhance your data security. The Bank may require in the future that you download and install virus protection software, or use certain secure browsing software that has been approved by the Bank for use with TTS in order to use or continue to use TTS. The Bank further reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement or your use of TTS without notice if malware is detected on the device used to access TTS until the Bank is reasonably assured that the threat has been eliminated. You should also become familiar with the various educational materials, tools and tutorials pertaining to security and identity theft provided on IFB’s website.
  11. Signature Requirement Waiver.  Unless we have agreed in writing, any requirement to verify two or more signatures on any item (such as a Check) does not apply to any of the Systems or Services. This means that you're allowing any User on your Eligible Account to individually undertake transactions pursuant to the applicable Service used. This provision controls and takes precedence over any conflicting provision in any other agreements you have with us.
  12. Electronic Funds Transfer Provision (For Consumers Only) (Not Applicable to Business Eligible Accounts).
  1. Applicability. The following provisions are only applicable to online electronic fund transfers that credit or debit a Consumer account and are subject to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulation E (an “EFT”). A Consumer account is one that belongs to a natural person and used primarily for personal, family or household purposes. If you perform transactions from a home equity line of credit or other credit account, please see your home equity line of credit documents for information about your liability for unauthorized charges or other errors or questions relative to those accounts. When applicable, the Bank may rely on any exceptions to these provisions that are contained in Regulation E. All terms that are not defined in this Agreement but which are defined in Regulation E shall have the same meaning when used in this paragraph.
  2. A Consumer’s Liability for Unauthorized EFT. The following determines your liability for any unauthorized EFT or any series of related unauthorized EFTs:
  1. If you notify the Bank within two (2) business days after your Valid Codes was lost or stolen or after an unauthorized transfer or payment has been made from any of your deposit accounts, your liability will not exceed $50.00 or the amount of the unauthorized EFTs that occur before notification, whichever is less.
  2. If you fail to notify the Bank within two (2) business days after your Valid Codes was lost or stolen, your liability will not exceed the lesser of $500.00 or the total of:
  • $50.00 or the amount of unauthorized EFTs that occur within the two (2) business days; and
  • The total of authorized EFTs which occur during the two (2) days before notification to the Bank, provided the Bank establishes that these EFTs would not have occurred had the Bank been notified within that two-day period.
  1. You must report an unauthorized EFT that appears on your periodic statement within sixty (60) days of the Bank’s transmittal of the statement to avoid liability for subsequent transfers. If you fail to report the unauthorized EFT to us on time, your liability will not exceed the amount of the unauthorized EFTs that occur after the close of the sixty (60) day period and before notice to the Bank, and that the Bank establishes would not have occurred had you notified the Bank within the sixty (60) day period. You may also be liable for the amounts as described in paragraph ii.(1) and ii.(2) above.
  2. If the report is made orally, we will require that you send the complaint or question in writing and signed by you within ten (10) business days. We will notify you with the results of the investigation within ten (10) business days and will correct any error promptly. If more time is needed, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate a complaint or question. If this occurs, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error. This will allow you to use the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If your complaint or question is not received in writing and signed by you within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account until the investigation is completed. If an alleged error involves an EFT outside a state or territory or possession of the United States, we may take up to ninety (90) calendar days (instead of 45). If we determine that no error occurred, we will send you a written explanation within three business days after the investigation is complete. You may request copies of the documents that were used in the investigation.
  1. Our Liability for Items that are not EFTs (Applicable to Consumer & Business Eligible Accounts).

Notices and communications.  Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, notice or other Communication required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and will be provided electronically, unless the Client has opted out, to the extent permitted by the Eligible Account’s specific terms and conditions.  When notice is required by paper copy, the Bank may do so to the Client’s address of record for any of the Eligible Account(s) and to the Bank at the branch or office where Eligible Account(s) were established or International Finance Bank, Attention: Legal Department, 777 SW 37th Avenue, Miami, FL 33135.  Any notice the Client sends the Bank will not be effective until the Bank actually receives it and has a reasonable opportunity to act on it.  Any notice the Bank sends the Client will be effective when mailed or otherwise made available to the Client.  The Client agrees that the Bank may electronically monitor and/or record any telephone communications with the Client.  The Client and the Client’s Designated User(s) give their prior consent to these recordings, and it is the parties’ intent that this prior consent conforms to the requirements of Fla.

  1. Client’s Users can establishment payment rules.  Payment rules are conditions that determine whether transactions are debited from Eligible Accounts or blocked. If a transaction matches a payment rule it is processed normally and sent to post. If a transaction does not match a payment rule it is blocked. Client’s Users can review ACH exceptions and decide to pay or return them.
  2. An exception is any ACH debit transaction that is blocked because it did not match the criteria defined in payment rules.
  3. Client’s Users can create new payment rules based on exceptions they have decided to pay to prevent future exceptions from being generated for the originating companies.

        ii.         ACH Payment Rules:

For example, if a payment rule is set up for Eligible Account #1 with a maximum amount of $50.00 for all transaction types and another rule is set up with a maximum amount of $100.00 for the CCD transaction type, only CCD debit transactions with amounts of $100.00 or less will be allowed.
  1. Changing, deleting, or viewing existing ACH Payment Rule.  Payment rules can be changed or deleted within the times provided in the Service or as communicated by the Bank to you. Existing payment rules can be viewed in Eligible Account Services / ACH Positive Pay / Payment Rules.
  2. ACH Payment Decisions. Decisions are actions that the Client’s Users take on ACH payment exceptions that determine whether the exceptions are paid or returned.  The Client’s Users can make decisions on ACH exceptions within the times provided in the Service or as communicated by the Bank to you. ACH exceptions with a pay decision are added to your list of originator company payment rules automatically. By default, the payment rule is set up with No maximum for the Maximum Amount and ALL - Select

All for the ACH Transaction Type (ACH entry class). Decision types include Pay, Return, Pending Decision, & Default, and each is defined in the Service.  

  1. Alerts Available to the Client Users:  
  1. ACH Positive Pay:  Notifies you when there are exceptions that require attention.
  2. ACH Positive Pay Exception Reminder:  Notifies you an hour before the decision window closes that there are exception items that do not have decisions.

vi. Decisions with respect to ACH Exceptions.  Decisions can be made on ACH exceptions within the times provided in the Service or as communicated by the Bank to you. If a decision is not made on an exception during this time frame, then the Bank’s default decision shall be applied of return all ACH exceptions.   vii. ACH Payment Rule – Realtime.  The Service allows you to establish payment rules that can be created on-demand without an exception being present.  Only prerequisites, the Approval role and Allow Transmit account entitlement are required to complete this the ACH Payment Rule on Realtime.  See user guide for assistance on the ACH Payment Rule – on Realtime.  These payment rule can be changed at any time.

  1. BILL PAY

If the Client uses the Bill Pay Service, then the Client agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein.   a. Description of Service. Bill Pay permits you to direct payments from your designated Eligible Account to third parties you wish to pay. Through the Bill Pay Service, you can pay bills from your Eligible Account to businesses or individuals. All payments you make will be deducted from the Eligible Account that you designate for the Bill Pay Service. Any payments you wish to make through this Service must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee located in the United States. We reserve the right to restrict types of payees to whom payments may be made using the Service from time to time. You agree not to use the Bill Pay Service to make payments to settle securities purchases, tax payments, court ordered payments, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts, or payments otherwise prohibited by law. In no event shall we be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these prohibited payments. We have no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from a prohibited payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected payments will be your sole responsibility.

  1. Scheduling Payments. The date a Bill Pay payment starts processing is referred to in this Agreement as the “Payment Send On Date”. Funds must be available in your Eligible Account on the Payment Send On Date. If the Payment Send On Date does not occur on a Business Day, funds must be available in your Eligible Account the following Business Day. After funds are withdrawn from your Eligible Account to make a payment, we will remit those funds on your behalf to your Payee. We reserve the right to select the method of payment to such Payee (“Delivery Method”), including, but not limited to, an electronic transfer of funds to the Payee, or by mailing the payee a paper Check. The Delivery Method for a Payee is subject to change.

When you create a new payee in the Bill Pay, it takes two (2) business days to set up the payee to receive payments. You should schedule a payment to a new payee at least ten (10) business days before any Payment Due Date, to allow us time to set up the payee and verify information about your account with the payee. For all subsequent payments, you agree to allow at least five (5) to ten (10) business days between the Send on and the Payment Due Date. If the payment is an ACH electronic payment, it will take up to four (4) business days to reach the payee. However, if the Payee cannot accept an electronic payment, or the payment encounters delivery errors, payments to that Payee will be delivered by paper Check and such payment may take up to ten (10) business days. If you do not follow these time frames, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other actions taken by the payee.  

When scheduling payments you must select a Payment Send On Date that meets the criteria outlined above, but you should never allow for less than five (5) Business Days, taking into account any intervening non-Business Days, in which case you must add the number of intervening non-Business Days to the five (5) Business Days. For the sake of clarity, here is an example: your bill has a Payment Due Date of Monday January 1st and this is a holiday which falls on a Monday, you must Send on Friday December 22 because of the intervening weekend and holiday that are non-Business Days. Care must be taken to avoid a late payment should the Payee assess a late charge for not having received payment on the Payment Due Date, in such cases factoring for having the payment made by the last Business Day prior to the Payment Due Date would mean the Payment Send On Date should be December 22 or earlier.

You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular weekly, monthly, or semi-monthly intervals, see below:

  1. Future payments. You may schedule the Payment Send On Date of a bill payment to be 365 days into the future. You must have sufficient available funds in the Eligible Account as of the Business Day immediately preceding the future Payment Send On Date selected. Future payments may be changed or canceled online until 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time of the Business Day before the Payment Send On Date.
  2. Recurring payment. You may schedule a bill payment to be automatically initiated in a fixed amount by designating the bill payment as an automatic payment. You determine the date on which a bill payment is scheduled to be initiated within the automatic payment tab within a Payee. If the automatic payment date is a date that does not exist in a certain month, the bill payment will be initiated on the last Business Day of the month.
  3. For example:

If you schedule a bill payment for the 30th of each month, the bill payment for the month of February will be initiated on or before the 28th of February. If the automatic payment date falls on a day other than a Business Day in any month, the bill payment will be initiated on the next Business Day.

If you schedule a Check to be issued on the 15th of each month, and the 15th is a Saturday or Sunday of that month, a Check will be issued on the first Business Day after the 15th. Thus, the actual Payment Send On Date for any month may not be the automatic payment date. Recurring Payments may be changed or canceled online until 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time of the Business Day before the Transaction Date.

  1. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By providing us with names and account information of Payees to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions that we receive through the Bill Pay Service. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives.

When we receive a payment instruction, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Deliver by date designated by you. You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Account for payments returned to us by any Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Pay Service.

We will use best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:  

  • If, through no fault of the Bank, your Eligible Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your established / authorized overdraft limits;
  • The System wherein the Service resides is not working properly and you know or have been advised about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  • The Payee’s failure to accept or process a payment due to a change in the Payee’s Delivery Method.
  • You have not provided us with the correct Eligible Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee; and/or,
  • Circumstances beyond our control, for example a Force Majeure event that prevents the proper execution of the transaction.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if your use of Bill Pay causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Eligible Account or causes funds from your Eligible Account to be directed to a Payee which does not comply with your payment instructions, we shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Eligible Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

  1. No Duty to Monitor Payments. The Bank is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. The Bank will not be liable in any way for damages you incur for any of the following reasons:
  • Insufficient funds in your Eligible Account to make the payment on the Payment Send On Date;          Delays in mail delivery;
  • Changes to the Payee's address or account number unless we've been advised of the change in advance of the Payment Send On Date;
  • The failure of any Payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner; or
  • Any other circumstances beyond the control of the Bank, for example a Force Majeure event.

For all entries made using the Bill Pay Service, the time recorded by the TTS Service will be considered the official time of the transaction.

If your Eligible Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the Payment Send On Date, Bill Pay will automatically block future Bill Pay Service until the account has sufficient funds to make the payment. The Bank will attempt to notify you by e-mail or U.S. Postal Mail, but the Bank shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a payment because there are insufficient funds in your Eligible Account to process a payment. In all cases, you are responsible for either contacting us as provided in Section 3, paragraph titled Errors, Disputes, and Questions, to either make alternate arrangements for the payment or reschedule the payment through the Bill Pay Service.

  1. Cancel or Change Payment Instructions. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Bill Pay prior to the Cut-Off Time. There is no charge for canceling or editing a scheduled payment prior to the Bill Payment Cut-Off Time. Once the Bill Pay Service has begun processing a payment, you must submit a stop payment request in order to cancel such payment. The Bill Pay Cut-Off Time can be found on the Bank’s Website.   
  2. No Signature Required. When any payment or other online Service generates items to be charged to your Eligible Account, you agree that we may debit your Eligible Account without requiring your signature on the item, and without prior notice to you. You agree that your authorization derives from your access to the Online Services through the agreed upon Security Procedures and your login and any authentication via the Valid Codes shall be deemed yours and you agree to hold us harmless consistent with Section 3, paragraph titled Indemnification.

Service Provider, etc.)  iii. By a pre-established time (which will be provided to the Client in the Service or communicated by the Bank to you), each Business Day, the Client will inform the Bank of its final decision on any Reported Checks that should be dishonored and returned by the Bank.  The Client acknowledges that the default setting in the Service is to return Reported Checks; therefore, unless the Client changes such setting or affirmatively logs into the Service the pre-established time and makes a decision to pay a Reported Check(s), the Bank shall return the Check(s). The Bank will not be responsible, nor assume any liability for any Reported Checks negotiated for cash at any branch of the Bank which the Client instructs the Bank to dishonor after such Reported Check which matched by serial number to an issue record at the time the Check was cashed.   iv. Checks that the Client writes may be converted into electronic images (truncated) during the Check collection and return process. If the Client elects to have Checks printed by a vendor that has not been approved by the Bank, or uses check stock or features (e.g., security features) that cause critical data to disappear or to be obscured upon truncation, or make Checks out in a way (e.g., using a light colored ink) that causes critical data to disappear upon truncation, the Client shall bear all risk of loss. The Client also agrees to bear the risk of loss if the Client uses check stock that contains printing inaccuracies, faulty magnetic ink, faulty encoding, or duplicate serial numbers.

  1. The Client shall provide, an e-mail address to be used exclusively for the purpose of receiving e-mail alerts from the Bank whenever exceptions exist.  The e-mail alerts will be delivered to the Administrator, and the Administrator may assign other Users to receive the e-mail alerts.  The Bank agrees to provide these e-mail alerts on a best-efforts basis.  The parties agree that this e-mail alert notification shall not be relied upon by the Client for purposes of its obligations to daily decision Reported Checks.  The Client acknowledges its obligation to log into the System daily in order to timely decision Reported Checks.  The Bank strongly recommends that the Client not rely upon these e-mail alerts to determine whether it has exceptions.  The Client agrees its duty and responsibility is to log into the Positive Pay Service daily and review exceptions / decision Reported Checks, independent of any such alert notification.  The Bank does not warrant the e-mail alert notification service and the Client hereby agrees to hold the Bank harmless in the event that no alert notification via e-mail is sent, consistent with Section 3, paragraph titled Indemnification. vi. The Client agrees to have Checks prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Bank’s account implementation specifications.  Such Checks will be magnetically encoded and include correct routing/transit, account and serial numbers.

vii. The Client will be responsible to verify and ensure that sufficient funds are availability (i.e., Eligible Account balances) when processing Checks.

  1. In the event fraud has been perpetrated on the Client’s Eligible Account(s) and the Client decides, against the advice of the Bank, to retain such Eligible Account(s) open, and the Client instructs the Bank to remove the security feature of the Service (i.e., return all Checks / items not listed or manually approved through the Service), then the Client agrees to assume all related risk of loss from any such Checks / items that the Bank processes.  The parties agree that this term is a material term for the Bank permitting removal of the security feature of the Service when fraud had previously taken place on the Eligible Account(s).
  2. The Bank warrants that it will exercise reasonable care in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  Because of the extreme difficulty of fixing actual damages for any failure of the Bank to perform its obligations hereunder, or from any failure of the Bank to perform any obligations imposed by law, the parties agree that the Bank’s liability hereunder for an uninsured loss, if any, shall be limited to liquidated damages and not a penalty in the amount of the fees paid by the Client to the Bank for the two (2) calendar months immediately preceding the month in which the event occurred that gave rise to damages.  The parties agree that this would represent a reasonable measure of damages, based upon the parties’ experience with these Services.  The provisions of this paragraph apply even though the loss or damage, irrespective of cause or origin, results, directly or indirectly, either from performance or non-performance of obligations imposed by this Agreement.
  3. Survival. The provisions of paragraphs e., f., g., h., and i. of this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement or termination of your access to the Services / Systems.

  9. Additional Terms and Conditions of the Mobile Banking Service.

i. The Mobile Banking Service is similar to TTS and refers generally to any service allowing an existing Client to access and view Eligible Accounts from a Wireless Device.  We do not guarantee the functionality of the Mobile Banking App on all Wireless Devices or networks; however, generally, the Service should be compatible with any web-enabled mobile phone, regardless of make, model, or mobile service provider.  Not all of the Services or functionality are available for use on the Mobile Banking App. Certain Services may use different terminology and appear in different formats when viewed through the Mobile Banking App. You may be required to follow different instructions to access Mobile Banking services through your Mobile Device.  The Mobile App adapts to any screen size and can change dynamically to present items on any screen in a pleasing format.  The Mobile Banking Service allows you to view transaction history, view Eligible Account balances, view account transaction history, transfer funds between Eligible Accounts, pay bills to payees, view alerts, send wire transfers, and if you have selected the Mobile Remote Deposit (or Remote Deposit) Service, remotely make deposits.  In most cases you may use the Service to gain access to deposit accounts in which you have an unrestricted right to withdraw funds. However, the Bank, as it may determine at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may deny Service account access, restrict Service account transactions, or place limits on the specific dollar amount of funds that may be withdrawn or transferred from any account using the Mobile Banking App.  We will not be responsible for any errors or failures from any malfunction of your Wireless Device, your telephone carrier, or any malicious software or other problems related to your Wireless Device used with our Services.  From time to time, we may develop additional mobile banking Services.  As we develop such Services, you will have the opportunity to use the same, provided you have a compatible Wireless Device. ii. To use the Service, you must have an open Eligible Account at the Bank, register for TTS, and have a compatible Wireless Device.  During the registration process, you will enter your mobile phone number as well as other information we require to authenticate your identity. You will be provided with further instructions on how to access the Service using the Mobile Banking App or your browser on your Wireless Device.  During this registration process, you will be required to provide your TTS Valid Codes that you must use each time you access the Service. iii. The parties agree that the applicable Security Procedures are those found at Section 3, paragraph titled

SECURITY PROCEDURES FOR SYSTEMS & SERVICES. iv. Pursuant to Section 3, paragraph titled Alerts, you agree that we may send messages through your wireless provider to you and that your wireless provider is acting as your agent when sending and receiving messages.

v. You understand and agree that the Mobile Banking App messages may not be encrypted and may contain personal or confidential information about you, such as your mobile phone number, your wireless provider’s name and the date, time and content of any mobile banking messages, including, but not limited to, account activity and status of your accounts and other information that you or we may provide. We may use this information to contact you to otherwise operate, develop and improve the Mobile Banking services. Your wireless provider and other service providers may also collect data from your Mobile Banking usage, and their practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible or liable for the acts or policies of such service providers. vi. Because the Mobile Banking Service is similar to TTS on a PC, there are security risks associated with the use of the Service.  The hardware and software that you use in connection with the Service may be subject to unauthorized tracking or other manipulation by spyware or other malicious code.  We are not responsible for advising you of the existence or potential effect of such malicious code, and your use of your hardware and software is at your own risk.  We will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the Service to prevent access by unauthorized persons and to prevent the introduction of any malicious code, such as a Wireless Device virus.  However, no security system is failsafe, and despite our efforts the security of the Service could be compromised, or malicious code could be introduced by third parties.  We will provide you with notice if your information is the subject of a security breach as required by Applicable Law.

  1. Survival. The provisions of paragraphs e., f., g., i. and j. of this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement or termination of your access to the Services / Systems.

i. Description of Zero Balance Account Service.  The Zero Balance Account Service is a Service offered by the Bank whereby the balance in an Eligible Account, in this case a demand deposit account, designated as a Zero Balance Eligible Account (“ZBA”) is maintained at the balance designated by Client (“Target Balance”).  The balance is maintained at the Target Balance by one of three methods selected by Client, as follows: (1) under the “Funds Provider” method, Checks and other debits are issued by Client and paid on a ZBA and each business day funds are automatically transferred from an account (“Primary Eligible Account”) to the ZBA and the Client may maintain multiple ZBA's that are funded by one Primary Eligible Account; (2) under the “Funds Concentration method, Client makes deposits to the ZBA and each business day funds are automatically transferred to the Primary Eligible Account from the ZBA; and (3) under the “Combined Provider and Concentration” method, the Client may write Checks and other debits on and deposit funds into the ZBA(s) and each business day funds are transferred between the Primary Eligible Account and each ZBA to maintain the specified target balance in each ZBA.  

Under all methods, the Primary Eligible Account and the ZBA are maintained by Client with the Bank.  

Client will be provided operating instructions (the “Operating Instructions”) for the Sweep Services.   ii. Establishment of Accounts.  Client shall open the ZBA(s) and the Primary Eligible Account and shall submit all forms and documents, including but not limited to, signature cards, partnership agreements and resolutions, as required by Bank.  Client shall designate either the Funds Provider, Funds Concentration, or Combined Provider and Concentration method for maintaining the balance at the Target Balance and the Primary Eligible Account and the ZBA(s) to which and from which funds shall be transferred.

  1. Payment of Checks and Other Debits Under the Provider or Combined Method.  Bank shall pay Checks and other debits presented for payment against the ZBA(s) in the same manner that Bank currently pays Checks and other debits on other demand deposit accounts maintained with Bank.  As Checks and other debits are presented for payment against the ZBA(s), Bank will post the Checks and other debits.  After all debit items have been posted to the ZBA, Bank will automatically transfer funds from the Primary Eligible Account to the ZBA(s) in the amount of the total debits presented for payment against the ZBA(s).  If the Collected Balance in the Primary Eligible Account is not available or is not sufficient to accommodate a transfer in an amount equal to the total of the Checks and other debits presented for payment against the ZBA(s), Bank may, at its option, make the transfer, even if it would create an overdraft in the Primary Eligible Account, and make provisional debits to the ZBA(s).  In this event, Client shall make a deposit to the Primary Eligible Account in immediately available funds (e.g., wire transfer, internal transfer, cash) in an amount sufficient to cover the overdraft in accordance with the Operating Instructions.  If Client does not make such a deposit to the Primary Eligible Account, Bank may, at its option, create an overdraft in the Primary Eligible Account, reverse the entire transfer, or reverse that portion of the transfer necessary to eliminate the overdraft or to replenish the funds which were not available and return Checks and other debits provisionally debited to the ZBA(s).  With respect to the foregoing, the Client shall hold the Bank harmless consistent with Section 3, paragraph titled Indemnification. 
  2. Transfers Under the Concentration or Combined Method.  Client shall periodically make deposits to the ZBA(s) and Bank shall post those deposits in the same manner that it currently posts deposits to other demand deposit accounts.  After all deposits have been posted and all debits have been deducted for that processing day, Bank will automatically transfer the collected balance in the ZBA(s) to the Primary Eligible Account, excluding any target balance required by the Client in the Zero Balance Eligible Account.  
  3. Monthly Service Charge.  Client’s Primary Eligible Account will be charged the monthly fee for this Service, as follows: For one (1) Primary Eligible Account and for one (1) ZBA and the additional fee for each ZBA as designated in the Treasury Management Fee Schedule or as communicated by the TM

  2. Primary Account Balance.  Client shall use its best efforts to maintain at all times good and immediately available funds in the Primary Eligible Account sufficient to accommodate a transfer of funds to fund Checks and other debits presented for payment against the ZBA(s).

  3. On any Business Day, if after completion of all posting to Client’s Eligible Account the balance is less than the Target Balance, Client directs Bank to transfer funds from Client’s line of credit account and deposit such funds to Client’s Eligible Account.  Bank is authorized to transfer from Client’s line of credit account such an amount as is required to cause the balance in the Client’s Eligible Account to equal the Target Balance.  Such transfer shall be made after crediting the net proceeds of all applicable transactions in Client’s Eligible Account.
  4. Client’s Eligible Account will be placed on analysis and assessed a monthly Loan Sweep Eligible Account fee in the amount designated in Treasury Management Fee Schedule or as communicated by the TM Officer.

the unavailability of Bank's employees assigned to initiate; or (d) other conditions beyond the control of Bank. “Excess Funds” means only those funds of Client in excess of the Target Balance that are available for withdrawal by Client as a matter of right under Bank's published funds availability schedule. Funds that are posted to Client's account but are not yet available funds are not included in Excess Funds. Any departure by Bank from the preceding provisions in any one or more instances will not be deemed to vary the preceding provisions or to operate as a waiver or estoppel.

Client authorizes Bank to collect the fees by debiting any of Client's accounts with the Bank. If Client fails to pay the fees promptly, Bank may debit any of Client's accounts or investments with Bank to collect the fees or pursue any other remedy against Client.

In receiving or communicating any notices or instructions regarding this Section of the Agreement and in acting thereon, Bank may rely upon any such notices or instructions given by the persons designated hereinabove or by those persons designated by Client in Client's Deposit Agreement and/or any Corporate Resolutions on file with Bank governing Client's account(s). Bank may receive and act upon instructions received from any person Bank believes in good faith to be one of the persons listed above.    
  1. TRANSFERS (INTERNAL / EXTERNAL)

If the Client uses the Transfer Service, then the Client agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein. a. Description. The Transfer Service (wire transfers are not a part of this service) lets you transfer funds:

i. Between your IFB Eligible Accounts;  ii. Between your IFB Eligible Accounts and your accounts at other U.S. financial institutions; and  iii. Eligible Bank loans may be available in the Service for payment (also through Bill Pay Service) and draws.  

If your IFB Eligible Accounts and/or Service are terminated for any reason, you will have no further right or access to use the Transfers Service.

  1. Information Authorization for non-IFB Accounts.  We may verify the non-IFB Eligible Accounts that you add to the Transfer Service. You authorize us to validate the non-IFB Eligible Accounts in a manner selected by us, including through the use of a test transfer, in which one or more low value payments is credited to and debited from your non-IFB Eligible Account. Once the test transfer is complete, we may ask you to access this non-IFB Eligible Account to tell us the amount of the test credit or debit or any additional information reported by your financial institution with this test transfer. We may also verify non-IFB Eligible Accounts by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of such Account(s). This could delay your payments to your IFB Eligible Accounts and you may need to use alternate ways to make payments in the meantime to avoid late fees and/or other charges.
  2. By using the Transfer Service, you represent and warrant to us that:
  1. You own or are a Designated User on the Eligible Account held with us and at the non-IFB financial

institution;

  1. Your Account at the non-IFB financial institution is a United States account; iii.         Your Account and Applicable Law permit transfers;
  1. You have the right to authorize and permit us to access your Eligible Accounts to complete such fund transfers or for any other purpose authorized by this Section;
  2. By disclosing to us and authorizing us to use Eligible Account information and complete the transfer you are not violating any third party rights; and

        i.         Information you provide to us is true, current, accurate, and complete.

You authorize and permit us to use information you submit to make transfers and to configure the Transfer Service to be compatible with the Eligible Accounts.

At all times your relationship with each non-IFB financial institution is independent of IFB and your use of the Transfer Service. We will not be responsible for any acts or omissions by the non-IFB financial institution, including any modification, interruption, or discontinuance of any Eligible Account by such financial institution or by any other third party, or any fees (including overdraft) that the non-IFB financial institution may charge you during the validation process described above.

Not all types of accounts are eligible for Transfer Service. We may decline the use of any Eligible Account that we believe may present a risk to you and/or us. Be sure to check with your financial institution for restrictions regarding transfers among your retirement (401k, IRA, etc.), savings, trusts, loans, custodial, business, corporate, and other account types.

  1. Transfer Types.  We may add new features to the Transfer Service, including a next-day service and a higherlimit service. You will be approved or declined for any such additional service at our sole discretion and additional terms and conditions may apply. We may at any time decline a fund transfer that we believe may violate Applicable Law or regulation, including those we identify as irregular or suspicious, in our sole discretion.
  2. Limits on Frequency and Dollar Amount of Transfers. The account agreement for the relevant Eligible Account may provide transfer limits. You may not make fund transfers in excess of dollar limits for the Transfer Service. We reserve the right to change the dollar amount of fund transfers you are permitted to make using our Transfer Service. In the event that your use of the Transfer Service has been suspended and reinstated as provided below, you understand and agree that your use of the Transfer Service thereafter may be subject to lower dollar amount limitations than would otherwise be permitted by us. For security and risk management reasons, we also may impose or modify limits on the frequency and the dollar amount of transfers you can make using our Transfer Service. The limits on the frequency and dollar amount of transfers are solely for the protection of IFB.
  3. Failure or Rejection of Transfers. Upon learning that the fund transfer could not be completed, we may, but are not required to, make a reasonable effort to complete the transfer again. If the fund transfer fails, we will notify you to contact your non-IFB financial institution to learn more about the failure. We reserve the right to decline or cancel any funds transfer. We also reserve the right to decline: (i) to submit fund transfer instructions or orders, or (ii) to carry out change or cancellation requests.

You represent and warrant to us that you have enough money in the non-IFB accounts to make any funds transfer you request that we make on your behalf through the Transfer Service, and you are solely responsible for any fees or other penalties that may be assigned by your financial institution for a funds transfer that exceeds your non-IFB account balance(s). If we receive a transfer request against your Eligible Account (or any other account) and there are not enough available funds in your Eligible Account (or any other account) to cover the transfer, we may at our sole discretion:

  1. Cover the transfer in accordance with the terms of any written overdraft protection plan that you and we have established;
  2. Cover the transfer and create an overdraft to your Eligible Account (or any other account); or iii. Decline the transfer.

We may make this decision regardless of whether we may have previously honored or dishonored overdrafts. Fees may vary depending on the action we take. Any negative balance on an Eligible Account is governed by the applicable agreement for that Eligible Account, including fees that may apply.

  1. Your Right to Cancel a Transfer. Payments that are in process cannot be canceled or stopped. When the Transfer Service offers recurring and/or future one-time transfers, you may cancel any transfer as long as we receive the request before the process date or other applicable Cut-Off Time of the one-time transfer or the next scheduled recurring transfer. For recurring transfers, you may cancel only the next scheduled transfer or the entire recurring transfer schedule. After the entire recurring transfer schedule is canceled, all future transfers will be canceled and you must reschedule it if you want transfers to be made in the future.

You may cancel a transfer by logging on to the Transfer Service or by contacting us at phone number provided in Section 3, paragraph titled Errors, Disputes, and Questions.

  1. Authorization.  You agree that your transfer instructions are the authorization for us to complete the fund transfer. You authorize us to select any means to execute your fund transfer instructions, such as the ACH, Check, or other clearing service. You will be bound by the rules, laws, and regulations that govern the applicable fund transfer systems, such as ACH rules as published by the NACHA or Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code.

We will make all reasonable efforts to process your transfer requests in a timely manner; however, we reserve the right to hold funds pending settlement or for such period of time as we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to cover items which may be returned unpaid. For Eligible Accounts, any interest earned on such funds during the hold period will remain the property of IFB.  

To complete your fund transfer, we may utilize ACH transfers or another third-party network which will result in a debit to one of your Eligible Accounts and a credit to another of your Eligible Accounts. IFB ACH transfers may go through an IFB transfer account. For ACH debit entries (which debit your other account and credit your Eligible Account), IFB generally makes funds available in your account within 3-4 Business Days to make sure that the item will not be returned unpaid before we credit your Eligible Account. Availability may be further delayed, or we may return the funds to the other financial institution and not make the funds available to your Eligible Account, if we, in our sole discretion, believe the transfer is irregular or suspicious. If the ACH transaction is returned for any reason and the payment has been credited to your Eligible Account, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Account, in whole or in part, for the amount of the returned item and any applicable fees resulting from the return.

  1. Fees. Depending on the type of transfer or the type of Eligible Account, we may charge fees for the use of the Transfer Service, and for any additional services or features that we may introduce. Transaction fees are provided in the applicable Schedule of Fees.  You agree to pay all fees associated with the use of the Transfer Service. See the Website for a copy of the latest Schedule of Fees for more information about potential fees. Note that your mobile carrier's message and data rates may apply.
  2. Suspension, Reinstatement, and Termination. Without limiting any other right or remedy that we may have under this Agreement or otherwise, we reserve the right to suspend your right to use the Transfer Service, immediately and without prior notice to you, if we incur a problem with your use of the Transfer Service. We may do so if, for example, there is a failure in attempting to debit any of your Eligible Accounts or to collect any of your fund transfers as described above. You understand and agree that such action is reasonable for us to take in order to protect IFB from loss. In the event of such suspension, you may request reinstatement of your service by contacting us at number provide in Section 3, titled Errors, Disputes, and Questions.

In our sole discretion, we may grant or deny reinstatement of your use of the Transfer Service. If we agree to reinstate you, we may initially reinstate your Transfer Service subject to lower per- transaction and monthly dollar limits and/or with other restrictions. Based upon your subsequent usage of the Transfer Service, we may restore your ability to complete transfers subject to such higher limits as may then be in effect.

Subject to Applicable Law or regulation, we may terminate your right to use the Transfer Service at any time and for any reason, including if in our sole judgment we believe you:

  1. Engaged in conduct or activities that violate any of the terms of this Agreement or our rights; or ii.         Provided us with false or misleading information; or iii.         Interfered with other users or the administration of the Transfer Services.
  1. Account Number Policy.  If the instructions for a transfer under the Transfer Service identify a bank or beneficiary by name and account number, we or the relevant financial institution may execute those instructions by reference to the account number only, even if the account number does not correspond to the name. You agree that neither we nor the relevant financial institution will have responsibility to investigate discrepancies between names and account numbers.
  2. Your Responsibility for Errors.  We must rely on the information you provided, and you authorize us to act on any instruction, which has been or reasonably appears to have been sent by you or any Designated User, to submit fund transfer instructions on your behalf. Financial institutions receiving the fund transfer instructions may rely on such information. We are not obligated to take any further steps to confirm or authenticate such instructions and will act on them without getting further confirmation. If you or any Designated User provide us with incorrect information or if there is any error in your instruction, we will make all reasonable efforts to reverse or delete such instructions, but you accept full responsibility for losses resulting from any of your errors, duplication, ambiguities, or fraud in the information that you or any Designated User provides. If any information you or your or any Designated User provides is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, without limiting other remedies, we may recover from you any costs or losses incurred as a direct or indirect result of the inaccurate or incomplete information.

We are not responsible for errors, delays, and other problems caused by or resulting from the action or inaction of financial institutions holding the non-IFB account, unless otherwise required by law or regulation. Although we will try to assist you in resolving any such problems, any such errors, delays, or other problems are the responsibility of the relevant financial institution. Any rights you may have against a financial institution for such errors, delays, or other problems are subject to the terms of the agreements you have with such financial institution, including any time limits during which complaints must be made.

  1. Our Liability. If we do not provide a fund transfer instruction on time, if we cause an incorrect amount to be removed from an Eligible Account or if we cause funds from an Eligible Account to be transferred to any account other than the account specified in the applicable fund transfer instruction, we shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds and/or for directing any misdirected funds to the proper account.

We are not liable for any costs, fees, losses or indirect, special, or consequential damages of any kind incurred as a result of:

  1. Our debit and/or credit or inability to debit and/or credit the accounts in accordance with your fund transfer instructions;

The Bank is not obligated to accept a Payment Order and if it accepts a Payment Order, it is not liable for: (i) failure to timely execute a wire transfer, (ii) non-completion of the wire transfer for any reason, or (iii) any delay in transmitting the Payment Order or completing the wire transfer.  In no event will the Bank be liable for failure to execute a Payment Order, improper or late execution, if such was caused by circumstances beyond the Bank’s control, including but not limited to Force Majeure event.  To the extent that the Client may be liable to the beneficiary for interest and expenses of the wire transfer because of failure of the Bank to execute a Payment Order, improper or late execution within the Bank’s control, the Bank’s obligation to the beneficiary or the Client is limited to interest, expenses of the fund transfer, and incidental expenses.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL THE BANK BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY TO THE PAYMENT ORDER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES SUFFERED BY CLIENT OR THE CLIENT’S INTENDED BENEFICIARY FOR ANY REASON.  The Bank shall be deemed to have accepted the Client’s wire transfer instructions when it executes such wire transfer by issuing a Payment Order intended to carry out the wire transfer instructions received by the Bank.
  2. Wire Transfers.  The Bank may: (a) transfer funds from Eligible Account(s) to any other specified Client bank account(s) with the Bank or other bank(s)/financial institutions; and/or (b) transfer funds from Eligible Account(s)

to any specified account(s) of a third party with the Bank or other bank(s)/financial institutions. If the Bank chooses to assign a code number to repetitive wire transfer requests, the Client agrees to use such code number in conveying Payment Order / wire transfer instructions to the Bank.  The Bank reserves the right to refuse or to limit any such Payment Order / wire transfer.

  1. Requests for wire.  Requests for wire transfers may be made as follows:
  1. For manual wires, all requests by the Client for wire transfers will conform to the procedures as the Bank may from time to time prescribed, including the establishment of Cut-Off Times for receiving Payment Order / wire transfer requests and confirmed receipt of said Payment Orders by the Bank.  In the event the Client elects to use the manual wire transfer Service, the Client shall complete a UNIVERSAL MANUAL VERIFICATION WIRE TRANSFER AGREEMENT (which will be provided to you upon request) for one or more individuals who may be contacted by the Bank to verify wires originated via facsimile (fax), email, or scanned image, etc.  If the Client transmits wire transfer instructions by facsimile or scanned image for a manual wire, the Client agrees that said image is an original as provided in Section 3, paragraph titled Signatures received via facsimile (fax) or scanned images.   
  2. Through TTS or Secure FTP Wire.
  1. Payment Order.  The Bank may, under certain circumstances, reject the wire transfer instruction / Payment Order without liability by transmitting a notice of rejection to the Client either orally, electronically, by facsimile, or in writing, before executing the wire transfer instructions or issuing a Payment Order.  
  2. Dollar Limits on the Service. We reserve the right to impose limits on the dollar amount that you transmit using the Wire Transfer Service and to modify such limits from time to time, without prior notice to you. If you attempt to initiate a Payment Order in excess of these limits, we may reject or stop the processing of such Payment Order. If we permit you to make any Payment Order in excess of the established limits, such Payment Order will still be subject to the terms of the Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such Payment Orders at any other time. The Bank will set the Wire Transfer Service limits at its sole discretion, and those limits will be provided to you in the Service, on our website (IFBbank.com), or communicated to you.
  3. Revocation / Cancellation of a Wire Transfer / Payment Order.  The Client hereby agrees that if it revokes or cancels any wire transfer / Payment Order instructions, it will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless consistent with Section 3, paragraphs titled Indemnification and Liability; Limitation of Liability; and Disclaimers, as a result thereof.  Upon receipt of a request by a Designated User to cancel a wire transfer instruction previously communicated to the Bank, the Bank will use its best efforts to cancel the wire transfer and/or recover the related funds.  A communication by the Client, which attempts to cancel or amend wire transfer instructions, must be received by the Bank at a time and in a manner affording it a reasonable opportunity to act on the communication.  The Bank makes no representations or warranties as to its ability to revoke or cancel a wire transfer instruction once it has been executed.
  4. Foreign Currency.  Payment orders for the transfer of U.S. dollars will be paid in U.S. dollars if transferred to a beneficiary located in the United States. Prior to initiating a wire transfer, you should confirm that your beneficiary can receive the currency you select in your Payment Order. If you do not do so, your Payment Order may be rejected or additional fees due to currency conversion may apply, if the beneficiary's account is in a different currency.  If transferred to a beneficiary located in a foreign country, the beneficiary’s bank or our correspondent may elect to pay the beneficiary in foreign currency at its rate of exchange for the wire transfer. It is the User’s responsibility to advise the beneficiary of this possibility. Foreign currency payment orders are final when made to the beneficiary bank. However, pursuant to the User’s request, the Bank may attempt to cancel or amend any payment order before the wire transfer is made. The Bank shall incur no liability if it is unable, for any reason, to cancel or amend a Payment Order / wire transfer. Refunds of U.S. dollar payment orders shall be made in the U.S. dollar amount. Refunds of foreign currency payment orders shall be in the amount of U.S. dollars that can be bought for the foreign currency amount at the Bank’s then current rate of exchange. The User and the Eligible Account holder bear all the risk of loss due to fluctuation in the rate of exchange and shall fully reimburse the Bank for any such amount. No wire transfer fee shall be refunded. The User and/or the Eligible Account holder is responsible for any charges related to the cancellation or amendment of the foreign currency Payment Order, including the costs to convert the foreign currency back to U.S. dollars after cancellation. The User and/or the Eligible Account holder acknowledges that the Bank is not responsible for any fees that may be charged by foreign, correspondent, or intermediary banks and that those fees could adversely impact the intended amount to be received by the beneficiary. The User and/or the Eligible Account holder further acknowledge that the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall choose the correspondent bank which it decides to work with for the payment of any wire transfers, including foreign exchange transfers.

In addition to any applicable fees, IFB makes money when we convert one currency to another currency for you. The exchange rate used when IFB converts one currency to another is set at our sole discretion, and it includes a markup. The markup is designed to compensate us for several considerations including, without limitation, costs incurred, market risks, and our desired return. The applicable exchange rate does not include, and is separate from, any applicable fees. The exchange rate IFB provides to you may be different from exchange rates you see elsewhere. Different customers may receive different rates for transactions that are the same or similar. The applicable exchange rate may vary based on such factors including, but not limited to, currency pair, transaction size, payment channel, and product type, such as foreign currency cash, Checks, remittances, and wire transfers. Foreign exchange markets are dynamic and rates fluctuate over time based on market conditions, liquidity, and risks. IFB is your arms-length counterparty on foreign exchange transactions. We may refuse to process any request for a foreign exchange transaction.

Incoming wire transfers received in a foreign currency for payment into your account will be converted into U.S.

dollars using the applicable exchange rate without prior notice to you.

If your outgoing international wire transfer is returned to IFB, you may be credited back a lesser amount than the amount that was originally debited for your initial outgoing wire transfer. Fee(s) may be charged by IFB or other financial institutions (for instance, by beneficiary and intermediary banks) when a wire is returned. As a result, the amount of your returned wire may be different than the amount you originally sent due to fees deducted. In addition, when a returned foreign currency wire is converted back to U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar amount credited back to you may be less than the original amount we debited from your account due to fluctuation in the applicable exchange rate. You accept the risks of any unfavorable change in the applicable exchange rate. IFB will not be liable to you for a sum in excess of the amount that was originally debited for your initial outgoing wire transfer after it has been converted back to the original currency, even if there is a favorable change in the applicable exchange rate.

  1. USD Auto Conversion. If the Client requests that United States Dollars (USD) be sent to a foreign country by initiating an international wire transfer in USD through the Bank, the Bank may (but is under no obligation to do so) automatically convert, or arrange with any of its designated correspondent banks to automatically convert, the Client’s USD wire transfer to the local currency of the country where the beneficiary’s account is held prior to receipt by the beneficiary bank (“Auto Convert”). In the alternative, the beneficiary’s bank (or its correspondent) may upon receipt convert the payment into the relevant local currency. Neither alternative requires any action or processing change on the Client’s part. However, the Client may, to the extent the foreign beneficiary bank has USD accounts, if it chooses to, opt out of Auto Convert, either in full (i.e., as to all beneficiaries and local currencies), or in part (i.e., only as to certain beneficiaries and currencies), by sending a written notice to the Bank clearly detailing its request, in which event, neither the Bank nor its designated correspondent banks will convert such wire transfer amounts from USD.

In the event that the Client’s wire transfer is automatically converted by the Bank or its designated correspondent bank under Auto Convert, and the foreign beneficiary requires the payment to be received in USD, the wire transfer will be re-converted by our designated correspondent bank and settled in USD, to the extent the foreign beneficiary bank has USD accounts. If the Client’s wire transfer is returned for any reason, the Client agrees to accept the refund in USD. The Bank will calculate the refund based on the buying rate of exchange of the foreign currency on the date of the refund. The exchange rate will include a commission to the Bank for making the exchange. The Client agrees to accept this amount as a full refund, even if it is less than the original amount the Bank transferred. The Client also agrees to pay the Bank all other charges and expenses that the Bank incurs either as a result of a USD or foreign currency wire transfer.  

Transactions processed in foreign currency denominations are subject to daily (or more frequent) changes in exchange rates. When the Bank or our specified correspondent bank converts a transaction under Auto Convert, the Bank may determine at its discretion the currency exchange rate and then assign that currency exchange rate to the Client’s transaction. The Client agrees to this procedure and agrees to accept the resulting determination of the currency exchange rate. The Bank and its designated correspondent banks may consider many factors in setting currency exchange rates for these purposes. These factors include exchange rates set by others, their desired rates of return, market risk, and credit risk. Neither the Bank nor any of its correspondent banks shall be responsible for any liability that the Client may incur if its currency exchange rates are different from rates (1) offered or reported by third parties; (2) offered by the Bank (or our correspondent) at a different time, at a different location or for a different transaction amount; or (3) that involve different payment media (such as bank notes, Checks and wire transfers). The Client further acknowledges that: (a) its currency exchange rates for retail and commercial transactions, and for transactions affected after its regular business hours or on weekends, are different (and usually less favorable to the Client) than the exchange rates for large interbank transactions affected during a business day, and (b) revenue resulting from fees and rates assessed or applied by our designated correspondent banks in connection with currency conversions under Auto Convert may be shared between the Bank and its correspondent.

Alternatively, when a beneficiary’s bank (or its correspondent bank) converts a USD transaction into a foreign currency, such conversion will be subject to rates and fees assessed by such banks, and may be further subject to various local laws and practices. The Bank has no control over those rates, fees or conditions, and the Client authorizes the Bank to process any resulting charges or credits to the Client’s account.

  1. Specific Funds Wire Transfer System or Intermediary Bank. The Bank, in its sole discretion, shall choose the electronic wire transfer system and intermediary bank in order to complete the requested Payment Order. In addition, each Payment Order, amendment or cancellation thereof, carried out through a wire transfer system will be governed by all applicable wire transfer system rules, whether or not the Bank is a member of the system. The Client acknowledges the Bank’s right to reserve, adjust, stop payment, or delay posting of an executed Payment Order is subject to the laws, regulations, circulars, and rules described in this paragraph.
  2. Identification of beneficiary / beneficiary’s bank.  
  1. If a Payment Order identifies the beneficiary by an identifying number or bank account number, the Bank may rely on such number as the proper identification of the beneficiary, even if the number does not in fact correspond to the person or entity named in and intended to be the beneficiary of the Payment Order.  The Client acknowledges that it is responsible for the consequences of any inconsistency between the name and bank account number of any party in such a Payment Order, and that the Client will be obligated to reimburse the Bank or any other bank for any loss and expense incurred as a result of executing or attempting to execute the Payment Order.  
  2. Likewise, the Bank may rely on the identifying number of any intermediary or Beneficiary’s bank, which appears in a Payment Order, even if the number identifies a bank different from the one identified by name in such Payment Order.  The Client acknowledges that under these circumstances (i) the Bank and any subsequent bank may rely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary or Beneficiary’s bank, and (ii) the Client will be obligated to reimburse the Bank or other subsequent bank for any loss and expenses incurred by it as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting to execute the Payment Order.
  1. Notification of completed Wire Transfer.  The Bank will notify the Client of the completed wire transfer pursuant to the Payment Order in the form of mail advice, e-mail, text, facsimile, periodic Eligible Account statements, and at any time within TTS.  The Client will promptly report any discrepancies, unauthorized transfers or transfers not in the name of the Client, erroneous payments to beneficiary not intended by the sender, payment in an amount greater or lesser than the amount intended, or duplication of payment previously sent.  In no event will the Bank be liable to the Client where a report does not comply with Section 3, paragraph titled Discrepancies.  
  2. The Bank’s Return of Payment Orders Received on Behalf the Client. If the Bank receives payment on behalf of the Client as a beneficiary and is put on notice by the sender, the sender’s bank, or any intermediary bank that the Payment Order was not authorized, then upon notice to the Client, the Bank may return the Payment Order to the sender’s bank and the Client agrees it will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless consistent with Section 3, paragraphs titled Indemnification and Liability; Limitation of Liability; and Disclaimers, as a result thereof.
  3. Applicable Interest Rate. Where interest is referred to herein or where interest is chargeable to the Bank by statute referring to any transaction described herein, then the rate of interest applicable is the average of the Federal Reserve’s Fed Funds rate over the period of time in question.  
  4. Cut-off Time. TTS Cut-Off Time for wire transfers will be provided in the System / Service or as communicated by the Bank to you. The Bank will give the Client reasonable notice of any change to said Cut-Off Time.  Any Payment Order received after the Cut-Off Time may be treated by the Bank as received on the following Business Day.
  5. The Client’s Obligation to Pay Payment Orders. The Client shall pay the Bank the amount of each Payment Order requested and executed by the Bank.  The Client agrees that its Payment Order requests shall not exceed the available and collected balance in the Eligible Account designated to pay the wire transfer request.  However, if a Payment Order should be executed that creates an overdraft, the Client agrees to pay the Bank the overdraft amount and any applicable overdraft fees or interest charged promptly upon demand.  The Bank may offset the amount of the overdraft against the balance of any the Client’s account(s) with the Bank.  The foregoing shall not preclude the Bank from exercising any other rights it may have to collect under any other agreement or law.
  6. Additional Terms Governing Outgoing Consumer International Wires Only (provision applies to Consumers only).  This paragraph contains additional terms applicable only to Payment Orders initiated by a Consumer in the United States to transfer funds from the Consumer’s Eligible Account to a beneficiary in a foreign country for personal, family, or household purposes (each, an “Outgoing Consumer International Wire”). This paragraph does not apply to any Payment Order sent to a beneficiary in the United States, to any Payment Order initiated by a non-Consumer, or to any Payment Order initiated by a consumer for any non-personal, non-family, or nonhousehold purposes. In the event of a conflict between a provision in this paragraph, and another provision in the Agreement or Eligible Account agreement for your, this paragraph will control with respect to Outgoing Consumer International Wires.

Prior to sending an Outgoing Consumer International Wire, IFB will provide you with certain important disclosures regarding your transaction including, to the extent applicable: the amount that will be transferred to the beneficiary, a description of any fees and taxes imposed by IFB, the total amount of the transaction, the exchange rate to be used if applicable, the amount to be transferred, a description of any fees imposed by third parties, and the amount that will be received by the beneficiary. If you choose to send your Payment Order in foreign currency, the amount to be transferred, a description of any fees imposed by third parties, and the amount that will be received by the beneficiary will be disclosed in the foreign currency. Once you complete your transaction, you will receive a receipt that includes the above information, as well as the date of availability, error resolution and cancellation right information, and other disclosures.

You have a right to cancel an Outgoing Consumer International Wire for a full refund of all amounts paid, including fees, within 30 minutes of completing it. To cancel, either select the available “Cancel” option within Wire Transfers, or call the phone number provided to you on your receipt at the time of your request or the phone number provided within this Agreement at Section 3, paragraph titled Errors, Disputes, and Questions.

In the event that you believe an error has occurred with respect to an Outgoing Consumer International Wire, you must notify IFB no later than 180 days after the “availability date” (the date when funds will be available to the beneficiary) disclosed to you. You may notify us by calling the phone number provided to you on your receipt at the time of your request or the phone number provided within this Agreement at Section 3, paragraph titled Errors, Disputes, and Questions. If you fail to notify us within this time period, IFB will not be liable for any error or loss of interest or any interest equivalent relating to the erroneous transaction.

When you contact us, please tell us: (a) your name, address, and telephone number where we can reach you during business hours; (b) the beneficiary's name and, if known, his or her telephone number and address; (c) the date, dollar amount, and transaction confirmation number of the Outgoing Consumer International Wire; and (d) the error or problem with the wire transfer, and why you believe it is an error or problem.

IFB will determine whether an error occurred within 90 days after you contact us, and we will correct any error promptly. We will contact you with the results within three (3) Business Days of completing our investigation and making our determination. If we identify that there was no error, or an error occurred that is different from the one you described, IFB will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of any documentation we used in our investigation.  

With respect to Outgoing Consumer International Wires, such a wire is a "remittance transfer" as defined in Regulation E, Subpart B, and will be governed by the laws of the United States and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the state of Florida, including Florida’s version of UCC 4A, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Except as otherwise agreed in writing, IFB is liable only for damages required to be paid as provided under Regulation E, subpart B or, to the extent applicable, UCC 4A (except as expressly modified by this Agreement). Except as required by Regulation E, subpart B, IFB will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any other person or entity, including but not limited to any processor, any country's central bank, or any other financial institution, and no such person or entity will be deemed IFB's agent.
