Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding holidays.
Contact Us
You may contact us by telephoning (909) 798-3611 during
normal business hours. Coming into one of our branches
or calling us is the best way to report any problems or
to get questions answered. If you cannot call or come in
person, you can write to us at: 1st Centennial Bank, 218
E. State Street, Redlands, CA 92373.
E-Mail
Sending e-mail through our Home Page is one way to
communicate with us. We have provided e-mail links for
you to ask questions or give comments regarding our Home
Page or Centennial Online.
If you send the Bank and electronic message, 1st
Centennial Bank will be deemed to have received it on
the following business day. 1st Centennial Bank will
have a reasonable time to act on your e-mail.
E-mail is not a secured environment. Do not send account
information or transaction information via e-mail. You
should not send an electronic message if you need to
communicate with 1st Centennial Bank immediately.
Internet Security Risks
Information transmitted over the Internet may be subject
to the risk of unauthorized access, alteration or
modification. You agree to exercise discretion and
secure your password when accessing the Service.
Access and Hardware Requirement
In order to access your accounts through Centennial
Online, you must have a checking account. Customer will
arrange and be responsible for telephone service
necessary to utilize the Service. Customer will be
responsible for acquiring, maintaining and operating all
computer equipment, which includes hardware, software
and communications at its premises. Computer
requirements are as follows:
- A PC or Macintosh computer, Windows 95 or better
- Access to the internet
- An Internet Service Provider selected by you
- An Internet web browser (Netscape Navigator
Version 4.03 or higher, Netscape Communicator
Version 4.07 or higher or Microsoft Internet
Explorer Version 4.0 or higher) with 128-bit
encryption (highest level). (You will not be able to
bank online with a browser that does not support
128-bit encryption.)
Keeping Your Account Confidential
Password and Access ID Protection
- To log on to Centennial Online, an account owner
needs to use an ACCESS ID and PASSWORD.
- The first account owner to log on to Centennial
Online will use any one of his or her account
number(s) as the Access ID and the last four (4)
digits of his or her tax identification number for
the temporary Password. Each account holder must log
on with their own tax identification number as the
temporary Password.
- Upon “first time login”, you will be prompted to
change the temporary Password. Your Password must be
an alphanumeric, case sensitive Password, a minimum
of eight (8) characters long, and a maximum of
twelve (12) characters long. The Password that you
choose must include, at least, 2 letters and 2
numbers. "Alphanumeric" refers to the fact that both
numbers and letters are used. "Case sensitive" means
that both upper and lower case letters are used;
therefore, "b" is not the same as "B." For example,
if your password is "Baseball02," you must type it
exactly like that. Entering "baseball02" will not
allow you to enter the system. This method is used
to provide you with the highest level of security.
- The account number that was used to log on will
become the permanent “Access ID” for that particular
account owner.
- If the account is a joint account, subsequent
joint account holders who log on to the Centennial
Online system will also use the same account number
as the Access ID and the last four (4) digits of his
or her own tax identification number for the
temporary Password.
- Upon initial log in, he/she will then be
prompted to change both the Access ID and Password.
This assures that each account holder maintains a
separate Access ID and Password even when accessing
the same joint account.
- If subsequent account holders log on using a
different account number, this number will then
become the permanent Access ID for that joint owner
(he/she will not be prompted to change the Access
ID).
- If you would like to change the Access ID for
your account and assign a “nickname” for the account
that is easy to remember, contact customer service
during normal business hours at (909) 798-3611 for
assistance.
For your protection, we recommend that you frequently
change your personal password used to access Centennial
Online. (You can change your password under the Change
Password button). You agree to hold your password and
Access ID in strict confidence and you will notify us
immediately if your password and/or Access ID is lost or
stolen. As a precaution, it is recommended that you
memorize your password and Access ID and do not write
either down. Passwords should not be easy to guess; for
example, your children's or pet's names, birth dates,
addresses or other easily recognized identifications
related to you. We also recommend you do not have your
browser remember your password.
If you use a consolidation site to collect all of your
personal information, you should know that all
transactions initiated by a consolidation site using
access information you provide are considered to be
authorized by you, whether or not you were aware of the
specific transaction. You may revoke this authority only
by notifying us, and we may need to block your account.
You further agree not to allow anyone to gain access to
Centennial Online or to let anyone know your Password
used with the service. You agree to assume
responsibility for all transactions up to the limits
allowed by applicable law. 1st Centennial Bank will not
be responsible for any loss due to breach in the above
security procedures.
Three Strikes and You Are Out
To guard against unauthorized use of your Access ID
and Password, Centennial Online disables the Password
indefinitely on the third attempt until you call the
Bank and request your Password to be reset.
This will also occur if you accidentally activate this
security feature by unintentionally mis-keying a
Password three (3) times. You will need to call the Bank
to reestablish the password for your account(s). You can
reach us by calling (909)798-3611 during normal business
hours.
Lost or Stolen Password or Access ID
Contact 1st Centennial Bank AT ONCE if you believe
your Password, Access ID, or Personal Identification
Number (PIN) has been lost or stolen, or you have
identified any unauthorized Electronic Funds
Transactions (EFT) on your current statement viewed
on-line or your monthly printed statement. Phoning us
immediately at (909) 798-3611 is the best way of
minimizing your potential losses, or you may write us
at: 1st Centennial Bank, 218 E. State Street, Redlands,
CA 92373 to report the problem.
Personal Information Protection
In addition to protecting your Password, Access ID, and
account information, you should also protect your
personal identification information, such as your
Driver's License, Social Security Number, etc. This
information, alone or together with information on your
account, may allow unauthorized access to your account.
It is your responsibility to protect your personal
information with the same level of care that you protect
your account information.
Deposit Accounts
- If the Customer wishes to use the optional Bill
Payment service, he/she agrees to designate one of
its accounts with Bank as its "Service Fee Account”
for the Services. Customer authorizes Bank to debit
the Service Fee Account (or any other account
maintained by Customer at Bank) for any fees or
other amounts due Bank in connection with the
Services.
- The Service Fee Account must be a demand or NOW
account.
- Customer agrees to maintain sufficient available
funds (as determined under Bank's funds availability
policy) in each account accessible via the Services
to cover all transfers or other entries initiated by
Customer and affecting the account, or such higher
amounts as Bank may specify from time to time.
Customer agrees that Customer's funds may be held by
Bank for a period of time following termination of
the Services to protect Bank against any possible
losses relating to the use by Customer of the
Services.
Balance Information
Account balances are available for your checking,
savings, money market, certificate of deposit, line of
credit and loan accounts. The available balance for
Checking, Savings, and Money Market Accounts, Time
Deposit Accounts and Loans is real-time and will change
throughout the day based on your activity. The balance
figure includes funds that are subject to the Bank’s
Funds Availability Policy and may include funds that are
not available for immediate withdrawal or transfer. Your
account balance is subject to collection under our
collection rules (items which appear as posted to your
account may later be returned, rejected, etc.).
Below are balance definitions:
- Current Balance – account balance after posting
previous business day. The current balance figure
includes funds that are subject to Bank’s funds
availability policy and may include unavailable
funds.
- Available Balance – amount of funds that are
available for withdrawal “real time”, and includes
your available overdraft line (if you have one),
memo posted items and on-line transfers.
Transfers & Limitations
- Transfers may be made among your 1st Centennial
Bank Checking accounts, Savings accounts, Money
Market, NOW accounts and Revolving Line of Credit

Bill Payment Service
Applying for Bill Payment Services
Centennial Online’s Bill Payment Service (“Bill Payment
Service”) allows you to transfer funds from your deposit
accounts with 1st Centennial Bank to pay your bills
electronically. To apply to use the Bill Payment
Service, you must first log on to Centennial Online
using your Access ID and Password. Click on “Enroll for
Bill Payment”. Print, complete and sign the Bill Payment
Enrollment Form. You may send the completed form to us
by mail or by fax, as indicated on the form.
Alternatively, you may also visit our banking office and
our staff will be happy to assist you with your
enrollment. Once we receive your enrollment form,
including any additional required documentation, and
verify the information you provided, we will send you a
confirmation of your enrollment along with your initial
Access ID and temporary Password by postal mail to the
address we have on file for you.
The following terms and conditions apply to your Bill
Payment Services. Your use of this service constitutes
your agreement to these terms and conditions and any
modification thereof.
Payees
- Any payments through the Bill Payment Service
must be payable in U.S. Dollars. Each payee must
appear on the payee list you create with us and the
account you are paying with must be in your name.
- You may not use the Bill Payment Service to make
alimony, child support, or other court ordered
payments. In addition, you may not use the Bill
Payment Service to make local, state or federal tax
payments or to pay any person subject to Office of
Foreign Asset Control restrictions.
- You should not use the Bill Payment Service to
make payments to settle securities transactions.
- We reserve the right to restrict categories of
payees to whom payments may be made using the
service.
- You may set up an unlimited number of payees on
the Centennial Online Bill Payment Service.
Account Designation
- To use Bill Payment Services, you must designate
a “Service Fee Account”. This is the checking
account from which bill payment fees and charges
will be debited. If you close your current Service
Fee Account, you must contact us immediately to
designate another checking account as your new
Service Fee Account. If you close any other account
from which you have scheduled future or recurring
payments or transfers, any unprocessed payments or
transfers will be canceled.
Processing
- Future or recurring Bill Payments must be
submitted at least five (5) to seven (7) Business
Days prior to the actual due date of the bill. When
you enter a payment, you enter the date that you
want the payment to be processed (“Date”). The
payment amount will be debited from the account that
you designate on the scheduled process date
(“Date”).
- Payments can be entered as one-time or recurring
transactions. One-time payments can be processed on
the same day or scheduled for a future date up to
365 days in advance. Recurring payments may be
scheduled to occur bi-weekly, bi-monthly, monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually and annually.
- Current Bill Payment requests must be received
by 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday in order to be
processed by the next Business Day.
- Future or recurring payments may be changed or
deleted before 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior
to the next date your payment is scheduled to occur.
- When initiating bill payments, you must provide the following information: the complete name of
the payee, the payee's remittance address, and the account number that will identify your account with
the payee, all exactly as shown on the payee's billing statement or invoice. You must also indicate
the amount of the payment to be sent and the Payment Date (“Date”), which is the date when the payment
amount is debited from your account and the payment is sent. Payments are not processed on
non-Business Days. Should your scheduled payment date fall on a weekend or holiday the payment will
be processed the last Business Day before the weekend or holiday.
- By using this Service, you authorize us to
follow the payment instructions you have provided
under your password, charge your designated payment
account by electronic transfer, "no signature
required draft", or by debiting and remitting funds
on your behalf. However, we will not be obligated to
make a payment unless your account or the linked
overdraft line of protection (if any) has sufficient
funds or credit available to pay the bill on the
Payment Date (“Date”). We reserve the right to
refuse to pay any payee designated by you. If we do
so, we will notify you promptly. You are then
responsible for either making alternate arrangements
for the bill payment, or rescheduling the bill
payment through the Bill Payment Service. In no
event will we automatically re-submit a bill payment
for you after funds have become available.
Your Timing Allowance
- The Payment Date (“Date”) must allow sufficient
time for us to receive and process the Bill Payment
so that the funds can be delivered to the payee
before the payment due date (the due date shown on
your invoice or provided in your agreement with the
payee, not taking into account any grace period
provided by the payee).
- There will be a gap between the Payment Date
(“Date”) and the date the payee receives that
payment. To avoid incurring a finance charge, you
must schedule your payments well in advance of the
due date of your payment. Some payees are not set up
to accept electronic payments. In these cases, a
check will be sent. If a payment you designate is
paid by paper check, you understand and agree that
the paper checks are mailed to the payee and the
payment may not be received by the payee until
(five) 5 to seven (7) business days after the
Payment Date (“Date”). If you do not allow
sufficient time, you will assume full responsibility
for all late fees, finance charges, or other actions
taken by the payee.
Monitoring Payments
We do not have the duty to monitor the bill payments you
authorized through the Bill Payment Service. If you are
a business and any of your authorized representatives
uses your Access ID and Password to pay bills which are
not yours, you assume the entire risk of loss and you
agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless our
directors, officers, employees and agents from all
liability, claims, demands and judgments arising out of
or connected with such use.
Notification of Insufficient Funds; Insufficient Fund
Fees
- A written notice will be sent to you of
transactions that we are not able to process because
of insufficient funds in your bill payment account.
Customer agrees that Bank or its processing agent
may continue to attempt to recover funds in the
event a Bill Payment was initiated against
insufficient funds. Recovery activity may include,
but not be limited to, debiting the bill payment
account or otherwise initiating collection activity.
Bank reserves the right to freeze or terminate
customer’s Bill Payment Services in the event
customer had one or more instances of insufficient
funds available to pay bill payment.
- If the Bill Payment is not processed, you are
responsible for either making alternate arrangements
for the Bill Payment, or rescheduling the Bill
Payment through the Services.
- If the Bank or its agent is unable to reverse a
Bill Payment due to insufficient funds in your
primary account, Bank will not automatically
resubmit payment on your behalf once the funds
subsequently become available.

respect to wire transfers or other transfers of funds
not governed by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, you
agree to enter into and comply with our wire transfer
(if applicable) agreement and to comply with our
security procedures and this section. We advise you that
any receiving financial institution (including us) is
entitled to rely on any account or bank number you have
provided even though that account or bank number may
identify a party different from the person or entity you
have described by name in any transfer order.
(A) Provisional Payment. Credit given by us to
you with respect to an ACH credit or wholesale (wire)
funds transfer entry is provisional until we receive
final settlement for such entry through a Federal
Reserve Bank. If we do not receive final settlement, you
are hereby notified and agree that we are entitled to a
refund of the amount credited to your Account in
connection with such entry, and the party (the
originator of the entry) making payment to you via such
entry shall not be deemed to have paid you the amount of
such entry.

(POS) transactions and ATM withdrawals. There is no fee
assessed by the Bank. Third party charges may apply and
will be displayed at the ATM. These products must be
tied to a personal checking account.
VISA® is a registered trademark of Visa
International.
Types of Transactions/Transfers: You may use the
automated teller machine (ATM) card and personal
identification number (PIN) issued to you to initiate
transactions at ATMs of ours, ATMs within the networks
identified on your card and such other facilities as we
may designate from time to time. Unless you specify a
different account during Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
transactions, your Primary Account will be used for your
transactions. You may use the VISA® Check Card and PIN
issued you to pay for purchases from merchants who have
agreed to accept the card, at Point of Sale (POS)
terminals within the networks identified on your card
and such other terminals as the Bank may designate from
time to time. Point of Sale (POS) transactions will be
deducted from your Primary Account. Point of Sale (POS)
transactions involving a refund will be credited to your
Primary Account. You may also use the card to pay for
purchases from merchants that accept the POS Check Card
with a VISA® symbol. Unless you specify a different
account during Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
transactions, your Primary Account will be used for your
transactions. At present you may use your card to (some
of these services may not be available at all ATMs):
- Deposit funds to your checking account.
- Withdraw cash from your checking account.
- Deposit funds to your savings account.
- Withdraw cash from your savings account.
- Transfer funds between your checking and savings
accounts.
- Obtain balance information on your deposit
accounts.
- Make loan payments.
- Purchase a maximum of $2000.00 worth of goods
and services per day, in addition to the ATM
withdrawal limit. ($1,200.00 when the system is in
offline mode.)
Some of these services may not be available at all
terminals. Please also see Limitations on Frequency
of Transfers section regarding limitations that
apply to ATM transfers.
Disputes with Merchants. Since your Card is not a
credit card, if you have a dispute with the merchant
regarding the quality, price, warranty or otherwise
regarding the goods or services you purchase with your
Card, you will have to settle your dispute with the
merchant directly. We are not responsible for the
merchant’s actions, including any misrepresentations by
the merchant. You may not place a stop payment on a
VISA® Check Card transaction.
Deductions from Your Account. In a Check Card
Transaction, including cash transactions, a hold will be
placed on your primary account. The hold may be for the
amount of the transaction, or for a pre-established
amount in excess of individual transactions (for
example, hotel or car reservations). The held funds will
not be available for other account purposes, and we have
the right to return checks or other items drawn against
your account to maintain sufficient funds to pay for any
previously authorized transactions. The hold will be
released when your transaction is finally settled, and
you agree to maintain sufficient available funds on
deposit in the affected account to cover all previously
authorized transactions. The hold may continue even if
you do not purchase any goods or services for which
authorization was obtained. If checks are returned, you
agree to pay all applicable non-sufficient funds fees.
We may, but are not obligated to, allow transactions
which exceed your available balance or available credit
line. If we do, you agree to pay the overdraft. You also
agree to pay the overdraft charges in effect for each
transaction, which causes your available account balance
or available line of credit to be exceeded.
In addition, to use your Card you will need to have a
Personal Identification Number (“PIN”). Your Personal
Identification Numbers (“PIN”) will be computer
generated and forwarded to you after you receive your
ATM or VISA® Check Card. If you ever forget your PIN,
you will need to contact your branch of account.
PIN AND CARD SECURITY
You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your PIN
available to anyone other than an authorized user of
your Card. For security reasons, you agree not to write
your PIN on your Card or keep your PIN in the same
location as your Card. Never give anyone your PIN, or
let anyone else use your Card, unless you ar willing to
be responsible for all transactions they may make with
the Card. Never let anyone else watch you enter your PIN
at an ATM or a POS terminal.
OVERDRAFT PROTECTION
Since your VISA® Check Card is not a credit card, it
does not provide overdraft or credit protection. (Using
your card could, however, result in a cash advance from
your Checking Line of Credit if one is established on
your account.) Your Card provides access to your
accounts through ATMs and point-of-sale (“POS”)
terminals. In addition, it allows access to your account
through merchants that display the VISA® logo.
LIMITATIONS ON DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF TRANSFERS.
When you use your 1st Centennial Bank’ ATM card you may
withdraw up to a maximum of $200.00 (if there are
sufficient funds in your account) per business day.
When you use your 1st Centennial Bank VISA® Check Card,
we apply two limits to the amount you may withdraw from
your accounts each business day. These are a "cash
limit" and a "purchase limit." The cash limit is the
total you may withdraw from an ATM, plus any cash back
you may receive in Interlink cash transactions. (Any
Check Card cash transactions also count towards your
cash limit.) Your cash and POS limit is $400 each
business day. (From time to time, our systems are in
offline mode and during this process your cash limit is
reduced to $200.00 per day.) The purchase limit is the
total amount of goods or services you may pay for using
your Card in signature based or VISA Transactions. Your
purchase limit is $2,000.00 in outstanding transactions
at any one time. ($1,200.00 when the system is in
offline mode.) Your purchase limit is in addition to
your cash limit. Transactions on weekends or holidays
will be treated as occurring on the next business day
for purposes of these limits. For any transaction, your
available account balance (including any overdraft
protection coverage) must be enough to cover the
transaction.
ACCOUNT LIMITATIONS
Federal regulations also limit certain types of
transactions/transfers from a money market or savings
account. You are permitted to make no more than
six transfers and withdrawals, or combination of them,
per calendar month or statement cycle, to another
account or to a third party by means of a preauthorized
or automatic transfer, or telephonic (including data
transmission) agreement, order or instruction, and no
more than three of the six may be made by check, draft,
debit card or similar order by company and payable to
third parties. Please refer to the specific
account type disclosure for a more complete description
of these transaction/transfer limitations.
Limitations on Frequency
- You are limited to the following number of
transfers or withdrawals: If you are transferring
from a money market or savings account you are
limited to a maximum of 6 pre-authorized
withdrawals, transactions or transfers per month.
Only 3 of the 6 may be by check and three by POS/ACH
transactions and telephone transfers.
- There is no limit on the amount of any transfer
or withdrawal from the funds in your deposit
accounts.
International Transactions
The exchange rate between the transaction currency
and the billing currency used for processing
international transactions is:
- A rate selected by Visa from the range of rates
available in wholesale currency markets for the
applicable central processing date, which rate may
vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or
- The government-mandated rate in effect for the
applicable central processing date.
A fee equal to 1% of the transaction amount is added
to each international transaction. For example, if your
international transaction resulted in US$100.00, the fee
would be $1.00.
DIRECT DEPOSITS
You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits to
be accepted into your Checking or Savings accounts.
PREAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWALS
You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills
from your Checking account.

RIGHT TO DOCUMENTATION
- Terminal Transfers. You can get a receipt
at the time you make any transfer to or from your
account using one of our ATM’s.
- Direct Deposits. If you have arranged to
have direct deposits made to your account at least
once every 60 days from the same person or company,
you can call us at (909) 798-3611 to find out
whether or not the deposit has been made. 1st
Centennial Bank offers you the convenience of 24
hour banking, 7 days a week. Simply call (909)
798-1242 to obtain balances, statement information
and make telephone transfers. If the only possible
transfers to or from your account are direct
deposits, you will get a quarterly statement.
- Periodic Statements. You will get a
monthly statement for your Checking account(s). You
will get a monthly statement for your Savings
account(s), unless there are no transfers in a
particular month. In any case, you will get a
statement at least quarterly.
STOP PAYMENT PROCEDURE
If you have told us in advance to make regular payments
out of your account, you can stop any of these payments.
Here is how:
Call or write us at the telephone number or address
listed in this brochure in time for us to receive your
request three business days or more before the payment
is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also
require you to put your request in writing and get it to
us within 14 days.
If you order us to stop one of these payments 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.
You will be charged for each stop payment order you
give.
Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular
payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to
pay will tell you 10 days before each payment, when it
will be made, and how much it will be. (You may choose
instead to get this notice only when the payment would
differ by more than a certain amount from the previous
payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain
limits that you set.)
OUR LIABILITY
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account
on time or in the correct amount according to our
agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or
damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT
be liable for instance:
- If through no fault of ours, you do not have
enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit
on your overdraft line.
- If the automated teller machine where you are
making the transfer does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working
properly and you knew about the breakdown when you
started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as
fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite
reasonable precautions we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions in our agreement
with you.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We will discuss information to third parties about your
account or the transfers you make:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers.
- In order to verify the existence and condition
of your account for a third party, such as a credit
bureau or merchant.
- In order to comply with government agency or
court orders.
- If you give us written permission.
CUSTOMER LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card
and/or code has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the
best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could
lose all of the money in your account (plus your maximum
overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two
business days, after you learn of a loss or theft, you
can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your card
and/or code without your permission.
If you do not tell us within two business days after you
learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and
we can prove we could have stopped someone from using
your card and/or code without your permission if you had
told us, you can lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not
make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60
days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not
get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can
prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the
money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such
as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling
us, we will extend the time period.
If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or
stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer
money from your account without your permission, call or
write us at any of the telephone numbers or addresses
listed below, or, if the bank is closed, at 877
242-2265.

SPECIAL CONSUMER LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR
UNAUTHORIZED CHECK CARD TRANSACTIONS
The provisions of this section apply when your Card
or PIN are used in a VISA® Check Card transaction. These
special provisions do not apply to PLUS, STAR or other
ATM transactions. They do apply to Interlink POS
transactions, but not to other point-of-sale
transactions where the transaction is not processed
through the VISA system.
Your liability for unauthorized VISA® Check Card
transactions that are due to the loss or theft of your
Card will not exceed (A) zero dollars if you report the
loss or theft of your VISA® Check Card within two
business days of your discovery that your VISA® Check
Card was lost or stolen, or (B) the lesser of $50.00 or
the amount of money, property, labor or services
obtained by the unauthorized use before notification to
us.
Your liability for unauthorized use of your VISA® Check
Card or PIN in other cases (that is, when the
unauthorized use is not due to the loss or theft of your
Card) will not exceed $50.00 if you provide us with
proper notification of the unauthorized transaction. For
notification to us to be proper, you must provide it
promptly after you first become aware of the
unauthorized transaction.
Under certain circumstances your liability for
unauthorized VISA® Check Card transactions can exceed
these special zero dollar and $50.00 limitation.
Specifically, these “SPECIAL CONSUMER LIABILITY
LIMITATIONS FOR UNAUTHORIZED CHECK CARD TRANSACTIONS”
provisions do not apply to VISA® Check Card transactions
if we determine that you were grossly negligent or
fraudulent in the handling of your Card or PIN.
Nevertheless, your losses due to unauthorized use of
your Card or PIN cannot exceed the limits set forth in
the “CUSTOMER LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS”
section above, even when the special zero dollar or
$50.00 limitations do not apply.
ERROR RESOLUTION
In case of errors or questions about your electronic
transfers, call or write us at any of the telephone
numbers or addresses listed above, as soon as you can,
if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if
you need more information about a transfer listed on the
statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later
than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which
the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any).
- Describe the error of the transfer you are
unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why
you believe it is an error or why you need
information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected
error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send
us your complaint or question in writing within 10
business days.
We will tell you the results of our investigation within
10 business days (20 business days if the transfer
involved an account which has been open 30 days or less)
after we hear from you and will correct any error
promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up
to 45 days (90 days if transfer involved a point-of-sale
transaction, a foreign initiated transfer or an account
open 30 days or less) to investigate your complaint or
question. If we decide to do this we will credit your
account within 10 business days (20 business days if the
transfer involved an account open 30 days or less) for
the amount you think is in error, so that you will have
the use of the money during the time it takes us to
complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your
complaint or questions in writing and we do not receive
it within 10 business days, we may not credit your
account. If a notice of error involves unauthorized use
of a point of sale Check Card with the VISA® logo, the
Bank must provide provisional credit within 5 business
days after the initial notification (instead of 10 or 20
business days).
We will tell you the results within three business days
after completing our investigation. If we decide that
there was no error, we will send you a written
explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents
that we used in our investigation.
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
We reserve the right to cancel the Agreement or your use
of our electronic fund transfer services or both with or
without cause and with or without notice, subject to
applicable law or regulation. Examples of when we may
terminate this Agreement or your electronic fund
transfer services without prior notice include, but are
not limited to the following:
- You or any authorized user of your Card, PIN or
electronic fund transfer services breaches this or
any other agreement with us.
- There are conflicting claims to the funds in
your account.
- We have reason to believe that there has been
unauthorized use of your Card or PIN.
- We notify you or any other party to your account
that we have canceled or will cancel this Agreement.
You may cancel this Agreement at any time, with or
without cause, by returning your Card to us. We will
suspend your Card privileges on your account the first
business day after we receive such notice. If you ask us
to cancel your account or the use of your Card, or if we
cancel your account or electronic fund transfer service,
or the use of your Card, cancellation will not affect
any liability you may have for any previous transaction
and for subsequent authorized transactions performed by
any other party to your account.
Your Card remains the property of the Bank.
ENFORCEMENT
In the event that either party brings a legal action to
enforce this Agreement or collect amounts owing as a
result of any account transaction, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs, including fees on any appeal, subject to any
limits under applicable law.
ATM SAFETY TIPS
As issuers of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) access
devices, we have provided for your information a list of
safety precautions regarding the use of automated teller
machines. California issuers of Automated Teller Machine
(ATM) access devices are required to provide customers
with safety precautions regarding use of automated
teller machines. Please read the following safety tips:
- Be aware of your surroundings, regardless of
time of day or night.
- Consider having someone accompany you if you use
an ATM machine after dark.
- Do not display your cash. Put it away promptly
and count it later in the safety of your home or
car.
- Consider using another ATM or coming back later
if you notice anything suspicious. If you notice
something suspicious in the middle of your
transaction, consider canceling the transaction,
pocketing your Card, and leaving.
- Go to the nearest public area where people are
located if you are followed after making a
transaction.
- Report all crimes immediately to law enforcement
officials.
- Do not write your PIN on your Card or in your
checkbook.
- Park your vehicle near the ATM in a well-lighted
area.
- Have your transactions prepared and your Card
ready to minimize your time spent at the ATM.
- Shield the ATM’s control panel from view by
other persons, if possible.
- When you are finished using the ATM, take your
Card, receipts and cash and leave the area
immediately.
