Internet Security Information

Our Internet Banking System utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In addition to our login security, we use SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything done in the system. Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Internet Banking System and it will support 128-bit key lengths. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the appearance of a small padlock icon 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. Additionally, our servers have been certified by a "Certificate Authority" to assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone pretending to be us.

During your use of the Internet Banking System, we will pass a "cookie" to your browser to identify you. We do not (and cannot) use our cookies to obtain new information about you. A "cookie" is security data given to a browser by a web server and returned by the browser on subsequent transmissions to identify the user and encryption information. When you log onto the Internet Banking System, this cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without you having to provide your Login ID and password for each individual transaction. After a predetermined amount of time set by our security system or when you log off, the session cookie is no longer accepted and the password must be re-entered. A new cookie is used for each session, so that no one can use the cookie to access your account. For Cash Management users, a cookie may also be used to restrict access to a specific personal computer for conducting business transactions.

Enrollment Process

The Internet Banking System requires the customer to complete the initial registration process. This involves the customer completing a secure online questionnaire.
Access - To use the Internet Banking System, you must have at least one account at Unity National Bank, N.A., and access to Internet service. Once you have accepted the terms of this agreement, you will be asked to set up your internet account with Unity National Bank. You will be given instructions which will enable you to set up your unique Access ID and Password. The Internet Banking System can be used to access only the BANK accounts that you have authorization to access. We undertake no obligation to monitor transactions through the Internet Banking System to determine that they are made on behalf of the account holder.

Internet Banking Services

You can use the Internet Banking System 24 hours, 7 days a week to check the balance of your BANK accounts, view BANK account histories, transfer funds between your BANK accounts, order checks, download history to personal finance software programs.

Hours of Access

You can use the Internet Banking System seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, although occasionally some or all Internet Banking System services may not be available due to emergency or scheduled system maintenance. We agree to post notice of any extended periods of non-availability on the Internet Banking System website.

Your Password

For security purposes, you determine what password you will use; the identity of your password is not communicated to us. You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under your password. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password and agree to change your password regularly. Upon three unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to the Internet Banking System will be revoked. To re-establish your authorization to use the Internet Banking System, you must contact us to have your password reset or to obtain a new temporary password. We require that you create a password that utilizes both alpha and numeric characters for purposes of security. Your password should not be associated with any commonly known personal identification, such as social security numbers, address, date of birth or names of children, and should be memorized rather than written down.

Security

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through the Internet Banking System, and you agree to promptly examine the paper statement for each of your BANK accounts as soon as you receive it. 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. Your password and Login ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts.

Data transferred via the Internet Banking System is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security; the Internet Banking System utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of the Internet Banking System transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to ensure that the Internet Banking System is secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and can potentially be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Internet Banking System, or email transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.

Fees and Charges

You agree to pay the fees and charges as set forth in the current fee schedule. You agree that all such fees and charges will be deducted from your primary BANK account. You agree to pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request not covered by this Agreement. You are also responsible for telephone and Internet service fees incurred in connection with your use of the Internet Banking System.

Posting of Transfers

Transfers initiated through the Internet Banking System will be made available the same day. The Internet Banking System identifies a transfer based upon the Login ID of the user who made the electronic transfer. Accordingly, you understand and acknowledge that the View Postings screens in the Transfer menu options of The Internet Banking System will reflect transfers made by multiple users from the same account if different Login IDs are used. You agree to communicate to any other persons with authorized access to your accounts concerning any transfers or bill payments from your accounts, in order to avoid overdrafts.

Overdrafts - (Order of Payments, Transfers and other Withdrawals)

If your account has insufficient funds to perform all electronic fund transfers you have requested for a given business day, then: (a) Electronic funds transfers involving currency disbursements, like ATM withdrawals, will have priority; (b) Electronic fund transfers initiated through the Internet Banking System which would result in an overdraft of your account may, at our discretion, be cancelled and (c) In the event that electronic fund transfers initiated through the Internet Banking System which would result in an overdraft of your account are not cancelled, overdraft charges may be assessed pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement for that account.

Limits on Amounts and Frequency of Internet Banking System Transactions

The number of transfers from BANK accounts and the amounts that may be transferred are limited pursuant to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement and disclosure for those accounts. If a hold has been placed upon deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.

Disclosure of Account Information and Transfers

You understand information about your accounts or the transfers you make may automatically be disclosed to others. We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: 1. Where it is necessary for completing transfers, or 2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant, or 3. In order to comply with government agency or court order, or 4. If you give us your written permission. We may also seek information about you from others, such as the credit bureau, in connection with the opening or maintaining of your account or in connection with approving your access to the Internet Banking System. You agree and hereby authorize all of these transfers of information and have no expectations of privacy with respect to your use of the Internet Banking System.

Periodic Statements

You will not receive a separate Internet Banking statement. Transfers to and from your accounts using the Internet Banking System will appear on the respective periodic paper statements for your BANK accounts.

Change in Terms

We may change any term of this Agreement at any time. If the change would result in increased fees for any Internet Banking System service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund transfers or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of transfers, we agree to give you notice at least 21 days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or our electronic fund transfer system. We will post any required notice of the change in terms on The Internet Banking System website or forward it to you by email or by postal mail. If advance notice of the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of the account or our electronic fund transfer system, you will not be notified of the change in terms. Your continued use of any or all of the subject Internet Banking System indicates your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable deposit agreements and disclosures.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question.

Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

CONTACT US AT ONCE if you believe your password 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). If you contact us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do NOT contact us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access your accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your paper statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the paper statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost through transactions made after the 60 day time period if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
