Electronic Fund Transfers Agreement and Disclosure
This Electronic Fund Transfers Agreement and Disclosure is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the electronic fund transfers (EFT) services offered to you by Service Plus Credit Union ("Credit Union"). In this Agreement, the words "you," "your," and "yours" mean those who sign the application or account card as applicants, joint owners, or any authorized users. The words "we," "us," and "our" mean the Credit Union. The word "account" means any one (1) or more savings and checking accounts you have with the Credit Union. Electronic fund transfers are electronically initiated transfers of money from your account through the EFT services described below. By signing an application or account card for EFT services, signing your card, or using any service, each of you, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement and any amendments for the EFT services offered. Furthermore, electronic fund transfers that meet the definition of remittance transfers are governed by 12 C.F.R. part 1005, subpart B-Requirements for remittance transfers, and consequently, terms of this agreement may vary for those types of transactions. A "remittance transfer" is an electronic transfer of funds of more than $15.00 which is requested by a sender and sent to a designated recipient in a foreign country by a remittance transfer provider. Terms applicable to such transactions may vary from those disclosed herein and will be disclosed to you at the time such services are requested and rendered in accordance with applicable law.
For other types of transactions, if the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction amount, the Credit Union may pay the amount and treat the transaction as a request to transfer funds from other deposit accounts, approved overdraft protection accounts, or loan accounts that you have established with the Credit Union. If you initiate a transaction that overdraws your account, you agree to make immediate payment of any overdrafts together with any service charges to the Credit Union. In the event of repeated overdrafts, the Credit Union may terminate all services under this Agreement. You may use your card and personal identification number (PIN) in ATMs of the Credit Union, Shazam and Cirrus® networks, and such other machines or facilities as the Credit Union may designate.
At the present time, you may also use your card to:
- Make deposits to your savings and checking accounts.
- Withdraw funds from your savings and checking accounts.
- Transfer funds from your savings and checking accounts.
- Obtain balance information for your savings and checking accounts.
- Make point-of-sale (POS) transactions with your card and personal identification number (PIN) to purchase goods or services at merchants that accept Mastercard.
- Order goods or services online or by mail or telephone from places that accept Mastercard.

Card Information Updates and Authorizations. If you have authorized a merchant to bill charges to your card on a recurring basis, it is your responsibility to notify the merchant in the event your card is replaced, your card information (such as card number and expiration date) changes, or the account associated with your card is closed. However, if your card is replaced or card information changes, you authorize us, without obligation on our part, to provide the updated card information to the merchant in order to permit the merchant to bill recurring charges to the card. You authorize us to apply such recurring charges to the card until you notify us that you have revoked authorization for the charges to your card.
Your card is automatically enrolled in an information updating service. Through this service, your updated card information (such as card number and expiration date) may be shared with participating merchants to facilitate continued recurring charges. Updates are not guaranteed before your next payment to a merchant is due. You are responsible for making direct payment until recurring charges resume. To revoke your authorization allowing us to provide updated card information to a merchant, please contact us.
- Direct Deposit. Upon instruction of (i) your employer, (ii) the Treasury Department or (iii) other financial institutions, the Credit Union will accept direct deposits of your paycheck or federal recurring payments, such as Social Security, to your Savings and/or Checking account.
- Preauthorized Debits. Upon instruction, we will pay certain recurring transactions from your savings and checking account.
- See Section 2 for transfer limitations that may apply to these transactions.
- Stop Payment Rights. If you have arranged in advance to make electronic fund transfers out of your account(s) for money you owe others, you may stop payment on preauthorized transfers from your account. You must notify us orally or in writing at any time up to three (3) business days before the scheduled date of the transfer. We may require written confirmation of the stop payment order to be made within 14 days of any oral notification. If we do not receive the written confirmation, the oral stop payment order shall cease to be binding 14 days after it has been made. A stop payment request may apply to a single transfer, multiple transfers, or all future transfers as directed by you, and will remain in effect unless you withdraw your request or all transfers subject to the request have been returned.
- Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay is required to tell you, ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
- Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers. If you order us to stop payment of a preauthorized transfer three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Mastercard. Purchases and cash withdrawals made in foreign currencies will be debited from your account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate used to convert foreign currency transactions to U.S. dollars is based on rates observed in the wholesale market or government-mandated rates, where applicable. The currency conversion rate Mastercard uses for a particular transaction is the rate for the applicable currency on the date the transaction occurs. However, in limited situations, particularly where transaction submissions to Mastercard for processing are delayed, the currency conversion rate Mastercard uses may be the rate for the applicable currency on the date the transaction is processed.
A fee of up to 1.00% will be charged on all foreign transactions. A foreign transaction is any transaction that you complete or a merchant completes on your card outside of the United States. All fees are calculated based on the transaction amount after it is converted to U.S. dollars and are charged except where excluded. Transactions completed by merchants outside of the United States are considered foreign transactions, regardless of whether you are located inside or outside the United States at the time of the transaction.
Additionally, if you use an ATM not operated by us, you may be charged a fee(s) by the ATM operator and by any international, national, regional, or local network used in processing the transaction (and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a funds transfer). The ATM fee(s), or surcharge(s), will be debited from your account if you elect to complete the transaction and/or continue with the balance inquiry.
You understand and agree that we and/or the ATM operator may charge you multiple fees for multiple transactions during the same ATM session (for example, fees for both a balance inquiry and a cash withdrawal).
- $1.00 charge for ATM withdrawals at machines we do not own (nonproprietary) after four (4) per month.
- We do not charge for any POS transactions at the present time.
- Replacement card fee of $10.00 per card.
- Nonsufficient funds fee of $30.00 per submission/resubmission of an item.
- Nonsufficient funds fee of $30.00 per submission/resubmission of an item.
You are not liable for an unauthorized Mastercard debit card transaction if you can demonstrate that you have exercised reasonable care in protecting your card or access code from loss or theft and, upon discovering the loss or theft, you promptly report the loss or theft to us.
For all other EFT transactions involving access devices, your liability for unauthorized transactions is determined as follows. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or access code, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your card or access code without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or access code and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your card or access code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make including those made by card, access code or other means, TELL US AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

The following information is a list of safety precautions regarding the use of ATMs and night deposit facilities:
- Be aware of your surroundings, particularly at night.
- Consider having someone accompany you when the ATM or night deposit facility is used after dark.
- Close the entry door of any ATM facility equipped with a door.
- If another person is uncomfortably close to you at the time of your transaction, ask the person to step back before you complete your transaction. If it is after the regular hours of the financial institution and you are using an ATM, do not permit entrance to any person you do not know.
- Refrain from displaying your cash at the ATM or night deposit facility. As soon as your transaction is completed, place your money in your purse or wallet. Count the cash later in the safety of your car or home.
- If you notice anything suspicious at the ATM or night deposit facility, consider using another ATM or night deposit facility or coming back later. If you are in the middle of a transaction and you notice something suspicious, cancel the transaction, take your card or deposit envelope, and leave.
- If you are followed after making a transaction, go to the nearest public area where people are located.
- Do not write your personal identification number (PIN) or access code on your ATM card.
- Report all crimes to law enforcement officials immediately. If emergency assistance is needed, call the police from the nearest available public telephone.
