Account balance and activity information is real time. Mobile banking allows you to use a mobile device to access the Service, e.g., a smart phone or tablet that has text messaging capabilities and Internet access. We will provide access to an app for Android, iOS and iPadOS devices.

Your wireless provider’s standard rates apply to Internet access, including messaging rates that apply to SMS usage. We do not charge for content; however, downloadable content may incur additional charges from your wireless provider. Please contact your wireless provider for information about your Internet access and messaging plans. Your wireless provider may charge you for Internet access, message and/or charge limitations that are your responsibility. You agree that we may send messages through your wireless provider and that we may use the mobile phone number, email address or other delivery location we have in our records to contact you.

Your wireless provider and other service providers may also collect data from your mobile banking usage according to their policies. We are not responsible or liable for the acts or policies of such service providers. We will only use the information you provide to us from your mobile banking usage in connection with the Service, except that we reserve the right to disclose any information necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect our rights or property.

Our Mobile & Online Banking service, as well as the content and materials you may receive or access through your use of our service, are proprietary to us and our licensors, and are for your personal, noncommercial use only. You agree that if you are using the Service outside the United States, you are responsible for obtaining network access and are responsible for applicable fees and charges. You understand that you may not be able to access Mobile & Online Banking from certain countries and that the access can change at any time. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, cost and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from your use of mobile banking.

Hours of Access – The Service is available 24/7, although some functions may be occasionally unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. We will post advance notice of downtime whenever possible. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate access to Mobile & Online Banking at any time and for any reason without notice. We will terminate access to Mobile & Online Banking after 180-days of inactivity unless you have scheduled transfers or bill payments pending.

Your Username and Password – For security purposes, you are required to select a unique username and password during your initial login to Mobile or Online Banking (“login credentials”). You determine what password you will use, although it must meet certain minimum security standards. We cannot recover a lost or forgotten password. We can only reset your password to allow you to select a new one. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your login credentials and agree to change your password regularly. Upon three unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to the Service will be suspended. To re-establish your authorization to use the Service, you must contact us in-person or by phone to have your password reset and obtain a new temporary password. Neither Tri Counties Bank nor any of its service providers will ever ask you for your password and you should never give it to anyone else.

For security purposes, we require that you create a password that meets minimum security requirements, including the use of upper- and lower-case alpha, numbers and special characters. Your password should not be associated with any commonly known personal identification, e.g., social security number, address, date of birth, or names of children, and should be memorized rather than written down. You agree that the use of passwords constitute a reasonable security procedure for the verification of the authenticity and accuracy of transactions initiated through the Service. You authorize Tri Counties Bank and our service providers to rely and act upon any transactions or inquiries initiated through Mobile or Online Banking using your login credentials and agree to be responsible for all transactions that processed using those credentials except as disclosed in the Bill Pay Terms and Conditions.

Security – You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your Accounts through the Service and you agree to promptly examine the periodic statements for each of your Tri Counties Bank accounts as soon as they are made available (either by eStatements or mail). You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your personal identification information, such as your driver's license number and social security number. You understand that personal identification information by itself, or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your Account(s). Your password and username, plus the One-Time Passcode sent to you by text or automated call and/or security questions presented as challenges when Mobile or Online Banking doesn`t recognize your login behavior as fitting your normal pattern, are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts. You acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail (email), occur openly on the Internet and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Service will not be monitored or read by others.

You agree that we are not responsible for any electronic virus that you may encounter using the Service. We encourage you to routinely update your computer and mobile device operating systems, together with browser software and mobile apps, scan your computer using any reliable virus protection product to detect and remove any viruses found. Undetected or unrepaired, a virus may corrupt and destroy your programs, files and even your hardware.

If you choose to request Mobile & Online Banking access for individuals using the Mobile & Online Banking feature called Family Banking, you agree to be solely responsible for the activities of those individuals according to the access entitlements you request for them. You are responsible for instructing these individuals on the importance of Security. You are responsible for any fees or charges incurred by these individuals in their use of the Service. To request Family Banking, please contact your local Branch or call us at 1-800-922-8742.

Fees and Charges – Currently, the Service is offered without charge, excepting certain features (e.g. stop payments, checking supplies). These fees are set forth in our Consumer Fee Schedule, which is available within Mobile & Online Banking, and listed under the Help function. You agree that all such fees and charges will be deducted from the Tri Counties Bank checking account designated as the "Primary Checking Account". If you close your Primary Checking Account, you must contact us immediately to designate another account as your Primary Checking Account. You agree to pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request which are not covered by this Agreement. You are also responsible for your mobile phone and Internet service fees you incur in connection with your use of the Service. We recommend you review the agreement with your mobile phone carrier and internet service provider before enrolling in the Services.

Account Transfers – Transfers are subject to limitations in your Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures. Tri Counties Bank reserves the right to refuse or cancel a transfer. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse or cancel any transfer. However, we are not obligated to provide notification of your transfer being refused or cancelled if you attempt to make transfers that are prohibited under this Agreement, any additional agreement affecting your terms of your account(s), or federal and state law. You will also be held responsible for any applicable fees charged in accordance with our Consumer Fee Schedule.

Internal Transfers – Internal Transfers are transfers between accounts at Tri Counties Bank on which you are an account owner or an authorized signer. Not all accounts may be eligible for Internal Transfers within Mobile & Online Banking. You may make one-time, recurring or future-dated Internal Transfers between eligible accounts. Internal transfers are processed in real-time as they are submitted. Funds for recurring and/or future-dated Internal Transfers should be in the account no later than midnight on the morning of the scheduled transfer to ensure the transfer can be completed.

External Transfers - External Transfers are transfers between a Tri Counties Bank account and an account at an external Financial Institution; you must be an account owner or an authorized signer on the external account and the Tri Counties Bank account in order to initiate an External Transfer. Not all accounts may be eligible for External Transfers within Mobile & Online Banking. External Transfers to or from another Financial Institution require us to validate your access to such external accounts through micro deposits or through a 3rd-party application. We reserve the right to impose a limit to the dollar amount of External Transfers and/or a limit to the total number of transfers that may be requested. We reserve the right to place a hold on any funds prior to debiting your funding account for the transfer amount. You are required to have sufficient funds available in the funding account of any transfer request(s) by the opening of the business day the transfer is to be processed. In the event that any External Transfer results in a deficiency to your account(s) with us, you authorize us to collect such deficiency from any other account(s) you have with us, or to collect same from the external account to which a debit or credit was posted. All other rights stated in the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures will also apply.

An External Transfer request submitted before the cutoff time will be deemed as received that day (“Transfer On date”). Any External Transfer requests submitted after designated cutoff time will be deemed as received the following Business Day (“Transfer On date”). External Transfers will post to your account, loan or line of credit no later than two business days after the “Transfer On” date, otherwise the transfer will be processed on the following Business Day and post not later than three (3) business days. For External Transfers, we reserve the right to wait a period of no more than three (3) business days after debiting your account prior to submitting a credit to the destination account of the transfer, and/or place a hold on a credit to the destination account of the transfer.

When you schedule any type of External Transfer or recurring External Transfer for a future date using the Service, it must be submitted at least one (1) calendar day prior to the desired processing date. All scheduled or recurring External Transfers for a future date will only be processed on Business Days. If the future date for processing is not a Business Day, the External Transfer will be processed on the following Business Day.

External transfers completed as ACH debits and credits are governed by the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) to which you and we agree to be bound.

If your account has insufficient funds to perform any transfer(s) you have requested for a given business day, then:

  1. We reserve the right to determine posting order of items presented for payment;
  2. Electronic fund transfers which would result in an overdraft of your account may, at our discretion, be cancelled; and
  3. In the event the electronic fund transfer which would result in an overdraft of your account is not cancelled, overdraft charges may be assessed pursuant to the terms of the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures.

Limits on Amounts and Frequency of Transfers - The number and amounts of transfers from your accounts may be limited by the terms of the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the held portion of the funds until the hold expires.

Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer - If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account, including a bill payment, on time or in the correct amount, according to our agreement with you when you have properly instructed us to do so, we will be liable to you for your losses or damages caused as a result. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:

(1) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make a transfer.

(2) If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.

(3) If your account is closed, or if it has been frozen.

(4) If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts.

(5) If you, or anyone authorized by you, commits fraud or violates any law or regulation.

(6) If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device, or any part of Mobile & Online Banking. electronic fund transfer system is not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transfer.

(7) If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information for the Bill Payment Service, including, without limitation, the name, address, your payee-assigned account number, payment date, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment.

(8) If you have not properly followed the on-screen instructions for using Mobile & Online Banking.

(9) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, interruption in telephone/internet service) prevent the transfer, despite our taking reasonable precautions.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers - CONTACT US AT ONCE if you believe your Mobile & Online Banking password or your mobile device has been lost, stolen, used without your authorization, or otherwise compromised, or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your accounts without your permission. An immediate telephone call to us is the best way to reduce any possible losses. You could lose all the money in your accounts (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if any). You assume full responsibility for the security and confidentiality of your username and password, mobile phone number and personal identification numbers used to access the Service.

Bill Payment Service – Refer to the applicable Terms and Conditions for Bill Payment services prior to enrollment for Bill Payment. You can review the Terms and Conditions for Bill Payment at any time by going to www.TriCountiesBank.com.

Stop-Payment Requests – Stopping the payment of a check is different from the cancellation of a bill payment. Once the bill payment has been debited from your account, you CANNOT cancel or stop an electronic bill payment. You may be able to stop a bill payment paid by paper check by contacting us by telephone before the check has cleared. You will have to contact us by telephone to determine if the bill pay check has cleared, and if not, we will process your stop-payment request. You may also initiate stop- payment requests through the Service for paper checks you have written (non-electronically) on your Tri Counties Bank account(s). Stop-payment requests submitted through Mobile & Online Banking are processed in real-time as they are submitted. To be effective, this type of stop-payment request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the check number, the dollar amount, and the check date. If you make your stop-payment request via Mobile or Online Banking, or by telephone, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. You will incur stop-payment charges as disclosed in our Consumer Fee Schedule for the applicable account. Stop- payment charges are the same for both checks you write, and bill payment checks.

eStatements – You will not receive a separate Mobile & Online Banking statement. Transactions on your accounts using the Service will appear on the periodic account statements made available for your Tri Counties Bank accounts. You can use the Service to enroll in eStatements for your accounts. This is your authorization to us to stop delivering paper statements for the accounts you designate. You will be able to view and print your eStatements through the service. Use the Services menu option within Mobile & Online Banking to enroll in eStatements. You will be presented with a separate eStatement Agreement that outlines details of this service.

Debit Card Manager – Debit Card Manager service (“Debit Card Manager”) is designed to allow you to temporarily disable your Debit Card in the event it is misplaced, lost, or stolen, OR for other purposes, such as extended travel. Debit Card holders who are enrolled in Mobile & Online Banking are automatically enrolled in Debit Card Manager. Debit Card Manager may also send transaction alerts, authentication requests, or other communications via push notification, text message, or email. Access to Debit Card Manager is limited to Mobile & Online Banking. Debit Card Manager does not allow for the cancellation of authorized or pre-authorized Debit Card transactions. It is not intended as a method for stopping payment on authorized or pre-authorized transactions. All transactions for which there is a prior authorization will be paid by Tri Counties Bank. This applies to authorizations made in both card present and card not present situations, and in cases of pre-authorized recurring transactions. Pre-authorized recurring transactions must be stopped in accordance with the agreement made with the merchant involved in the pre-authorizations. The Card on File and Recurring Payment features are provided for informational purposes only and may not identify all businesses, individuals or entities that may have a card number on file and/or recurring payments. Recent Activity displayed in Debit Card Manager is based on the specific card selected, not a comprehensive list of all account transactions.

Lost or Stolen Card. Reporting a card lost or stolen within Debit Card Manager will disable the card, but is not intended to replace direct contact with the Bank. You are required to contact the Bank to report a card lost or stolen and/or to report unauthorized transactions.

Disabling Cards. Disabling a card within Debit Card Manager will NOT reorder a new card. You are required to contact the Bank to report a card lost or stolen and/or to report unauthorized transactions. Toggling a card “ON” or “OFF” within Debit Card Manager does not permanently disable a card. To permanently disable a card, you must contact the Bank. Upon deactivation of a card, it will automatically be removed from Debit Card Manager.

Unauthorized Transactions. Transactions cannot be disputed within Debit Card Manager. Any unauthorized transactions must be reported to the Bank in accordance with existing agreements. For additional information on unauthorized transactions, refer to the Consumer Debit Card Agreement and Disclosure.

Alerts, Controls & Travel Plans. Following your registration to receive Transaction Alerts sent to your mobile device, alerts  may be sent in real-time; however, the actual time between a transaction made with your Debit Card that triggers a Transaction Alert and the time you receive such Transaction Alert may be dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to the method the transaction is billed by the merchant, the time at which the transaction is processed by the merchant, how a merchant is classified by their card processor, the location of the merchant’s card processor, your wireless carrier’s service and coverage within the area in which you are physically located at that time, and other potential variables that may or may not be known by the Bank. Your receipt of Transaction Alerts may not be available in all areas.  Transaction Alerts are intended as “for your information” only and are not intended to identify transactions as fraudulent. Placing controls or alerts based on locations, regions, merchant types, transaction types or spending limits is not a guarantee to prevent transactions from clearing through your account and may be honored at the Bank’s discretion. Travel Plansestablished through Debit Card Manager are only valid for the time specified in Debit Card Manager, and only a limited number of Travel Plans can be established for each card. You will need to contact the Bank to accommodate longer periods of travel, or more comprehensive itineraries.

Eligibility. Debit Card Manager is only available to individuals who are: (i) of legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence (and at least 18 years of age); and (ii) own a Tri Counties Bank Debit Card that is in good standing and eligible for Debit Card Manager ("Card"). Note: Eligibility of a Card will be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion. Our decisions with respect to your eligibility are final and binding. We reserve the right to terminate your participation in Debit Card Manager at any time or for any reason. The user must qualify for Mobile & Online Banking in order to use Debit Card Manager. The user must adhere to the terms and conditions of all existing agreements with Tri Counties Bank.

No Amendment of Existing Terms and Conditions For Cards. THE TRANSACTION ALERTS THAT ARE PROVIDED TO YOU THROUGH THIS SERVICE DO NOT AMEND, SUPPLEMENT, CHANGE OR REPLACE ANY OTHER NOTICE OR INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY RECEIVE IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CARD ACCOUNT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU ON YOUR PERIODIC STATEMENT.

Availability. Debit Card Manager may not be available for all Debit Card Types. You may need to consent to location services to access all the features of Debit Card Manager. While we will make every effort to decline transactions while your card is in a deactivated state, we cannot guarantee that all such transactions will be declined due to circumstances beyond our control. You acknowledge that the deactivation function is reliant on computer and/or telecommunication systems. Disruptions to these systems may result in the authorization of transactions, even when the card is in a deactivated state. Reactivation of cards may be unavailable during certain times of the day. We will attempt to notify you of these times. You are responsible for monitoring your account activity, whether electronically or by checking your statements. Use of Debit Card Manager does not override the user’s responsibility to report unauthorized transactions in a timely manner as described in the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures. We assume no responsibility for failure of Debit Card Manager to work in the expected manner, aside from the responsibilities put forth in said agreement.

Termination. We may terminate or suspend Debit Card Manager, or your use of Debit Card Manager, at any time or for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated if you breach any term of the Agreement, if you use Debit Card Manager for any unauthorized or illegal purposes or you use the Services in a manner inconsistent with the terms of your Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures or any other Agreement with us. If you wish to no longer use Debit Card Manager, it is your responsibility to ensure all card controls and alerts are set to OFF.

Your Liability – Tell us IMMEDIATELY if you believe any part of your login credentials, including your password, has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic funds transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, as applicable). If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of any part of your login credentials, including your password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your credentials without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of any part of your login credentials, including your password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using the login credentials without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us IMMEDIATELY. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed or first made available to you, you may not get back any funds you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking those funds if you informed us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay), kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
