VIRTUAL BRANCH INTERNET BANKING DISCLOSURE

1. Your Virtual Branch Password: You may change your Virtual Branch password at any time. We strongly recommend that you select an 8 - 16 digit alphanumeric (example: 1234abcd) value for your password to ensure utmost security.

2. Right to Receive Documentation of Transfer: You can call us at 800-538-1572 to find out if a transfer was made. You will get a statement of account on your regular member account statement.

VIRTUAL BRANCH BILL PAY DISCLOSURE

1. Types of Available Transfers & Limits on Transfers: The Bill Pay service in Virtual Branch enables you to access your credit union account from a personal computer using a password to:

  • Pay recipients from your share draft account
  • Review records of your last payments
  • Change the password on your account
  • Modify/add/delete recipients

There is no limit to the number of payments allowed from your share draft account. There is $9,999.99 limit on the dollar amount of individual Virtual Branch Bill Pay payments.

2. Virtual Branch Bill Pay Basic Functionality & Processing Issues: When you instruct us to pay a bill through Virtual Branch Bill Pay, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your share draft account. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your share draft account at the time of the processing date. We are not obligated to act on any withdrawal instruction from you if sufficient funds are not available in your share draft account.

In Virtual Branch Bill Pay, you establish payees, the company or person to whom the bill is being paid. When you want to make a payment to one of your established payees, you enter an amount to be paid and a processing date, which is the date the payment will begin processing. It will take approximately 3 BUSINESS days for electronic payments and 5 BUSINESS days for check payments to reach their designated payees. Business days do not include Saturday, Sunday or holidays.

If there are insufficient funds available in your share draft account on the processing date, you will NOT receive a separate notification from us. Your scheduled payments in Virtual Branch Bill Pay will reflect the payment was not processed due to insufficient funds.

You can cancel a future Virtual Branch Bill Pay payment by deleting or editing a scheduled payment in Virtual Branch Bill Pay.

3. Fees and Charges: IRCO does not intend to charge a monthly fee for the Virtual Branch Bill Pay service. We do, however, reserve the right to do so in the future and will provide advance notice to all users. There is a $40.00 fee for each Bill Pay stop payment. There is a $35.00 fee for each Bill Pay payment investigation. Please refer to your Truth in Savings Rate and Fee Schedule Disclosure for other fees.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

1. General Disclosure: We agree to make reasonable efforts to ensure full performance of the Virtual Branch program. We will be responsible for acting only on those instructions sent through the Virtual Branch program, which are actually received and cannot assume responsibility for malfunctions and communications facilities not under our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages you sent. We will not be responsible for any losses or delays in transmission of instructions arising out of the use of any communication system such as the World Wide Web, telephone lines, etc., or caused by any software failing other than software owned and maintained by us. We are not responsible should you give incorrect instructions or if your payment instructions are not given sufficiently in advance to allow for timely payment.

Any information you receive from us is believed to be reliable. However, it can only be provided on a best-efforts basis for your convenience and is not guaranteed. We are not liable for any deficiencies in the accuracy, completeness, availability or timeliness of such information or for any decision made using this program. We are not responsible for any computer virus or related problems, which may be attributable to services provided by any other party.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, and in the absence of gross negligence on the part of us: (a) we are not responsible for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising in any way out of the use of the Virtual Branch; (b) the entire liability of IRCO Community Federal Credit Union, its employees, officers, directors, agents, affiliates, etc., and your exclusive remedy with respect to use of the Virtual Branch program shall be to use its best efforts to locate and correct any or all errors occurring or manifesting in the Virtual Branch program which materially affect the ability of the Virtual Branch program to provide the services stated herein. The foregoing shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to you.

NEITHER IRCO COMMUNITY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, NOR ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, ETC., MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE VIRTUAL BRANCH PROGRAM SOFTWARE OR SERVICES OR BROWSER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHT UNLESS DISCLAIMING SUCH WARRANTIES AS PROHIBITED BY LAW.

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  • If the system is not working properly and you know about the breakdown when you start the transaction.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions we have taken.

4. Limit on Liability: You may recover only your actual damages if our failure to complete a transaction:

  • Is not intentional.
  • Results from mistakes made in good faith.
  • Should have been prevented by our usual practices.
