You must complete the enrollment process to use the Service.  You can enroll for the Service on our website or you can enroll in any of our offices. The Internet enrollment process involves completing a secure online application that we will use to verify your identity.  You will also choose your Username and Password during the enrollment process.  You will have view-only access until your self-enrollment is approved.

When you enroll for the Service, you agree to provide true and accurate enrollment information.  Our Customer Service Department will verify the information you submit for accuracy and proper authorizations.  You may begin using the Service after we process the application (normally within one (1) to two (2) Business Days).

13. Account Balances

Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us.  The balance reflected in the Service may differ from your records due to deposits in progress, checks outstanding, or other withdrawals, payments or charges.  A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request.  A transfer request must be made before the Business Day Cut-off time to be effective the same Business Day.

The balances within the Service are updated periodically and the Service will display the most current “as of” date on the “accounts” summary page.  There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances.  The Service will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for account transfers.

14. Canceling or Changing Transfers

You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system, and the information has been processed and/or transmitted to us through the Service; however, you can edit or change a transfer that is still pending.  For Business Customers, the term “transfers" also includes ACH and wire transactions.

In order to cancel or change a pending transfer that has not been submitted to us for processing, use the following procedures:

  1. Log in and make edits to the appropriate transaction.
  2. Edits must be made before cut-off time for transactions to be processed the same Business Day.
  3. You may edit a pre-scheduled (future dated/automatic) transaction any time before cut-off time on the Business Day before the scheduled transfer or payment date.
  4. For transfers, you can change the transfer amount to $0.00.
  5. If you accidentally transfer funds, you can schedule another transfer to move funds to back to the original account.

For Business Customers, additional guidance on creating, canceling, editing ACH and wire transactions is available within the Service and from our Customer Service Department.  Business Customers may edit, delete, or cancel wire transfers or ACH transactions prior to the effective date.  After cut-off time, if changes are necessary, we may not have sufficient time to stop such transactions from further processing.  Separate agreements may detail the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to these types of transactions. For assistance, you can send us a secure email through the Service or call our Customer Service Department.

If you need our assistance on making edits to automatic/future dated transfers, you can send us a secure email through the Service; however, we must receive your request three (3) Business Days or more before the transaction is scheduled for processing.  If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after the call.

15. Bill Payment and Transfer Limitations

You may use the Service to check the balance of your Eligible Account(s) and to transfer funds among your Eligible Accounts at FAB&T. You must have sufficient funds in your account to cover the amount of any online transfers and Bill Payments on the scheduled payment date set for the transaction, or the transaction may not be processed. NSF and/or overdraft charges may be incurred if Bill Payments exceed your account balance. Please refer to your original account agreement for excessive activity fees that may apply.

16. Bill Payment Terms and Conditions
 
A. Bill Payment Scheduling

The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the Service when you are scheduling the Bill Payment.  Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller.

When scheduling Bill Payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day.  If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date.  Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.

B. The Bill Payment Service Guarantee

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account.  Except as expressly stated otherwise within this Agreement, this Financial Institution and/or its Service Providers will bear the responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a Bill Payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under “Bill Payment Scheduling” in this Agreement.

C. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance

By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions received through the Service.  In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, our Service Provider may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.  When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize our Bill Payment Service Provider to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you.  You also authorize our Service Provider to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another Authorized User of the Service.

D. Payment Methods

Our Bill Payment Service Provider reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller.  These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment or an electronic-to-check payment.

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (if processing has not begun) by following the directions within the Service.  There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment.  However, once the Service has begun processing a Scheduled Payment, it cannot be cancelled or edited.  Therefore, a stop payment request must be submitted as described within this Agreement.

F. Bill Payment Stop Payment Requests

The ability of this Financial Institution and its Service Provider to process a stop payment on a Bill Payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared.  We may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed.  Although we will make every effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so.  We may also require you to present your stop payment request in writing within fourteen (14) days.  The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set forth in our applicable fee schedule.

G. Returned Payments

In using the Service, you understand that Billers and/or the United States Postal Service may return Bill Payments to our Service Provider for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller's forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full.  Our Service Provider will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller or void the payment and credit your Payment Account.  You may receive notification from the Service of returned payments.

K. Biller Limitation

We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment.  The Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you.  This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement.

L. Failed Transactions

In using the Service, you are requesting us to make payments for you from your Payment Account.  If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction will not be completed and/or Bill Pay access may be revoked.  In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Service.  In such case, you agree that:

  1. You will reimburse our Service Provider immediately upon demand the transaction amount that has been returned.
  2. For any amount not reimbursed to the Service Provider within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge may be assessed each month against unpaid amounts equal to 1.5% or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower.

20. Internet Security

The Online Banking Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet.  Prior to activating your access to the Service, our Customer Service Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with the Eligible Account(s) that you request to be linked to the Service.

Usernames and Passwords  One of the main security features protecting the Service is the unique combination of your Username and Password.  During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique Username, and then choose a Password that will be used to gain access to the Service.  You determine your own Password, which is encrypted in our database.  Neither this Institution nor its Service Providers have access to this information.  The Service will automatically deactivate your account after three unsuccessful login attempts.  You may reset your password online or you may contact this Institution for assistance.

Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.

  • You should carefully select a Password that is hard to guess.
  • You should NOT use words based on your name, address or other personal information.
  • Special characters may be used to increase security.
  • Do NOT use dictionary words.
  • Keep your Password safe.
  • Memorize your Password and do NOT write it down.
  • You should also change your Password occasionally, such as every 90 days.
  • A Password should be changed immediately if you suspect that your Password has been compromised.  This can be done at any time from the “Profile” menu after you log on to the Service.

NEITHER THIS INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL CONTACT YOU VIA TELEPHONE OR EMAIL REQUESTING PERSONAL INFORMATION, YOUR USERNAME, OR YOUR PASSWORD.  IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY ANYONE REQUESTING THIS INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

Encryption – The Online Banking Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using Online Banking.  Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Service.  The Service requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption.  The Service will warn you if your browser does not meet this requirement.  Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a pad lock at the bottom of the screen from “open” to “locked”.  What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.

Certificate Authority – The servers hosting the Online Banking Service have been certified by a Certificate Authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the Service instead of someone pretending to be us.  If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 4.0 on Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see that the Certificate Authorities key may have expired; you will need to update your browser.  Instructions for upgrading your browser are located on the Browser SSL Update link, which is located on the Service login page.  By clicking on the lock with in the Service, you can view the certificate to ensure it is valid.

Cookies  During your use of the Online Banking Service, our Online Banking Service Provider will pass an encrypted cookie to your computer in order to identify your computer during the session.  This cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide a Username and Password for each individual transaction.  Users must accept this cookie to use the Service.  This cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides another level of security for our Online Banking product.  The cookie is stored on your computer's hard-drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on.  When you log off, close your browser or turn off your machine, the cookie will be destroyed.  A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.

Multi-Factor Authentication – We use multi-factor authentication (or enhanced security) to help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.  As part of our enhanced security solution we may ask you to select security questions which may be used to help verify your identity in the event unusual login.  We may also send you a Login Security Code which can be used to help authenticate your login or transaction requests.

Additional Security Guidelines:

  • Biometric authentication features add an additional layer of security.
  • AII Authorized Users should sign-off after every Service session; however, online sessions will automatically end after a specific amount of time of inactivity.  This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log-in.
  • The security of public computers (e.g. in a library. or Internet cafe) cannot be assured; therefore, we recommend that you refrain from accessing the Service on a public computer.
  • Routinely scan your computer, servers, and electronic media using a reliable virus detection product.  Undetected or un-repaired viruses may corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and even your hardware.  Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit a virus to other computers.
  • Use a firewall product (hardware and/or software), especially if you have a broadband Internet connection such as DSL or cable modem.

21. Your Password Responsibilities

When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available your Password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individuals.  You are responsible for all transfers and Bill Payments you authorize using the Service.  IF YOU PERMIT OTHER PERSONS TO USE THE SERVICE, YOUR PASSWORD, OR OTHER MEANS TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS THEY AUTHORIZE.  If you believe that your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling 800-982-4511.  You can also contact us by sending a secure message through the Service.

IF YOU OR YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS DISCLOSE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE, AND/OR IF YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO USE YOUR PASSWORD TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOU ARE AUTHORIZING THEM TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THE SERVICE BY THEM (E.G., SUCH AS WHEN YOU PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDER, AN EMPLOYEE, AND/OR AN AGGREGATION SERVICE PROVIDER SUCH AS QUICKEN OR MICROSOFT MONEY).

In addition to the security features described above, there may be other security related notices posted on our website.

22. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

 We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers and payments properly.  However, we shall incur no liability and any Bill Payment Service Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, your Eligible Account(s) and/or Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account (if applicable).
  2. The Service and/or the payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by this Institution and/or its Service Providers about the malfunction before you execute the transaction.
  3. You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller.
  4. Your Eligible Account(s), including either your Payment Account or Billing Account, is closed.
  5. If your computer, software, telecommunication lines were not working properly, and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or Bill Payment.
  6. It can be shown that the Biller received the Bill Payment within the normal delivery timeframe and failed to process the payment through no fault of ours.
  7. The payment or transaction request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal.
  8. We have reason to believe that a payment or other transaction request may not be authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary.
  9. Circumstances beyond control of the Service, our Service Providers, and this Financial Institution (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), or Payment Account, or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller, which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, this Financial Institution and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

23. Documentation and Verification of Payments and Transfers

Information regarding Online Banking and Bill Payment transactions will be reflected on the account detail in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).

24. Provisions Applicable Only to Consumer and Sole Proprietors Deposit Accounts 

A. Errors and Questions

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, you should notify us as soon as possible through one of the following methods:

  • Telephone us at 800-982-4511.
  • Contact us by using the secure messaging feature within the Service.
  • Write to us at P.O. Box 827 Jacksonville, AR 72078-0827.

If you think your statement is incorrect or you need more information about an electronic transfer or Bill Payment transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement was sent to you on which the problem or error appears.  You must:

  1. Tell us your name, relevant service account number(s), and Username.
  2. Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your verbal notification.  We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly.  However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation.  If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error.  If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your account.

For errors regarding electronic transactions on new consumer accounts, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question.  We may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to credit a new account for the amount you think is in error.

If it is determined there was no error, we will mail you a written explanation within three (3) Business Days after completion of our investigation.  You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation.  The Service may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.

B. Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

Tell us IMMEDIATELY if you believe your Username or Password has been lost or stolen.  Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses.  You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit if applicable).  If consumer customers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission.  If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.

If your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once.  If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time.  If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay), prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

25. Additional Provisions Applicable Only to Business Customers 
 
A. Protecting Your Account(s)

Authorized Users of Business Customers who have been approved for ACH Origination privileges may edit, delete, or “un-approve” ACH transactions prior to the scheduled date for the transaction.  Separate agreements will detail the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to the ACH transactions.

If ACH batch transactions have been approved and submitted to us for processing, you must contact us immediately if any changes are necessary after the designated cut-off time.  In these situations, we may not have sufficient time type to stop the transactions from processing before the schedule payment date.

If FAB&T and/or its Service Providers fail or delay in making a Bill Payment pursuant to your Payment Instruction, or if we make a payment in an erroneous amount which is less than the amount per your Payment Instruction, unless otherwise required by law our liability shall be limited to interest on the amount which we failed to timely pay, calculated from the date on which the payment was to be made until the date it was actually made or you canceled the Payment Instruction.  We may pay such interest either to you or the intended recipient of the payment, but in no event will we be liable to both parties, and our payment to either party will fully discharge any obligation to the other.  If we make a payment in an erroneous amount which exceeds the amount per your Payment Instruction, or if we permit an unauthorized payment after we have had a reasonable time to act on a notice from you of possible unauthorized use as described above, unless otherwise required by law, our liability will be limited to a refund of the amount erroneously paid, plus interest thereon from the date of the payment to the date of the refund, but in no event to exceed sixty (60) days interest.
