We may modify the Service from time to time at our sole discretions. In the event of any modifications, you are responsible for making sure you understand how to use the Service as modified.

You also accept responsibility for making sure that you know how to properly use the hardware and software properly and we will not be liable to you for any losses caused by your failure to properly use the Service or the hardware or software.
Registration Process
The Service requires that you complete the initial enrollment process. This involves completing a secure online application that will identify you and your Account information at NVE Bank. Additional services like Bill Pay and Mobile Banking may require additional online enrollments or applications that may be subject to Bank approval.
Internet Security Information
Our Service is provided by Open Solutions Inc (“OSI”). The Open Solutions Online Banking system utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your Accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In addition to log-on security, OSI uses the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do in the Internet Banking system. This technology is automatically activated by your browser when it attempts to connect to our system and it will support only a 128-bit key length. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the “secure session” by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock 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. In addition, our servers have been certified by a “Certificate Authority” that will assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone pretending to be us. If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 4.0 on Netscape or Internet Explorer, the “Certificate Authorities” key may be expired and you may need to update it on your browser.
During your use of the Service, OSI will pass a “cookie” to your browser for identifying you during the session. This cookie only identifies your computer. OSI does not use cookies to collect or obtain new personal information about you. This cookie allows OSI to process multiple transactions during your session without requiring you to reenter your password for each individual transaction. The cookies for the Service simply provide another level of security for our Online Banking product. The Online Banking system uses encrypted cookies that do not pass to your hard drive. Instead, the cookie is stored in the memory of your browser, identifying your computer while you are logged on. Only OSI can read the information in these cookies. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie is destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session. That way, no one can use the prior cookie to access your Account.
Your Responsibilities Concerning Your Access Code, Password and Security
Security is very important to NVE Bank. One of the main security features guarding the use of the Online Banking system is the unique combination of your sign-on ID and password, which you will select at the time you request the Service.
It is important that you keep your password secret. You should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a password that is hard to guess. Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and never tell it to anyone. You agree not to give or make available your sign-on ID or password to any other individuals, including anyone claiming to represent NVE Bank. In order to protect yourself against fraud, you need to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Do not give out your sign-on ID or password.
- Do not leave your personal computer unattended while you are logged into the Service.
- Never leave your sign-on ID or password information within range of others.
- Do not send your sign-on ID or password information in any public or general e-mail system.
You will be required to change your password every one hundred and eighty (180) days. This can be done at any time after you logged on from the “OPTIONS” menu.
We will not be liable for any losses resulting from any other person’s use of your sign-on ID and password to access the system.
Log-On Security
At the time you request the Service you will select a unique “sign-on ID” and then choose a “password” that will be used to gain access to the system. To help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your Accounts, we may end your online session if we have detected no activity for ten (10) minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your password and your session will continue where you left off.
In addition to the security measures described above, there may be other security notices posted on the web site regarding security issues. It is your responsibility to read all applicable notices. If you have more questions about our security systems for conducting financial transactions safely over the Internet, contact our Internet Banking department at (201) 816-2800.
Accounts
You may request to have access via the Service to any Account for which you are a signer or owner. If you desire services that allow you to initiate payments or transfers from the Account, you will need the required withdrawal authority over the Account to be able to complete the transaction. If the Accounts added to the Service are jointly held or have multiple signers, the joint owners and/or multiple signers understand and agree that a request from one Account holder will be deemed a request from all Account holders, that any Account holder has the authority to use the Service, that all Account holders will be jointly and severally liable under the terms of this Agreement and all other agreements that govern such Account, and that all correspondences sent to any Account holder will be deemed sent to all Account holders.
- Fees and Additional Services
The Service is available to our non-business customers at no monthly charge for all Account information services, internal transfer services and standard Bill Payments. Bill Pay is an optional service available only for customers who maintain Accounts at NVE Bank. You must specifically request to have this Service added and agree to an additional set of terms and conditions. There may be fees and additional terms and conditions for additional services that are accessible through Bill Pay like POP Money, expedited Bill Payments, and external Account to Account transfers. The Service will notify you of a fee prior to completing a transaction. NVE Bank’s Mobile Banking is an additional service that can be requested through the Service. Mobile Banking is an optional service that requires the use of Online Banking. You must specifically request to have this service added and agree to an additional set of terms and conditions. There may be fees charged for the use of this service.Please refer to NVE Bank’s fee schedule, a copy of which is available at any branch location and was provided at account opening.
I understand and agree that I am responsible for paying all fees associated with my use of the Service or any additional services requested through the Service. I authorize NVE Bank to charge my Account (or any other of my Accounts) for any service or other fees and charges applicable to transfers, payments, or other services requested through the Service in accordance with NVE Bank’s fee schedule in effect at the time that I make the request. NVE Bank reserves the right to change the fees charged for the use of various services. A copy of NVE Bank’s Fee Schedule is available at any branch location and was provided at Account opening.
Cancellation of Service
Your access to the Service may be canceled at any time by NVE Bank in whole or part without prior notice due to insufficient funds in one of your Accounts or other circumstances that may create an unanticipated liability to NVE Bank. You will remain responsible for all transactions approved by the system prior to the cancellation, and for any other fees associated with the service. After cancellation, your access to the Service may be reinstated once sufficient funds are available in your Accounts to cover any fees and other pending transfers or debits. In order to reinstate services, you must call Online Banking Customer Support at 201-816-2800.
Balance Inquiries, Bill Payments, and Transfer Limitations
You may use the Service to check the balance of your Account(s) and to transfer funds among your Accounts. According to current federal regulations, you may not make more than six (6) pre-authorized or automatic transfers or bill payments from your savings Account during a given monthly statement period. Transfers authorized by telephone or personal computer are counted toward the six (6) total permitted monthly transfers or withdrawals. A fee will be charged for each transfer over the six (6) permitted during a given monthly statement period. If multiple violations of this rule occurs your Account may be closed.
Balances shown in your Accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. If you have further questions, contact us at (201) 816-2800. The balances are updated periodically and the system will display the most current “as of” date on the “Accounts” summary page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The system will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for bill payments and account transfers.
Special Information about the Stop Payment, Check Reorders, Address Change, Secure E-Mail & Secure File Delivery Services
The system includes several options that provide a means to securely forward your request to us for processing. There may be additional fees associated with some of these services. Please refer to our Fee Schedule for additional information or contact us.
Generally, requests received from the Online Banking system and/or emails will be processed within one (1) Business Day using the same procedures that we use to handle similar requests received by mail or fax. If urgent action is required such as for a stop payment, we recommend that you contact us directly at any of our conveniently located branches or by telephone. Additional terms of acceptance or disclosures may apply on the Stop Payment service and these terms will be disclosed at the time you complete the request. The Stop Payment feature is designed to submit a request to stop payment on checks you have written from your Account. The stop payment service is not available to cancel transfers, Debit Card authorizations or ACH transactions. There will be a fee per check on all stop payment requests. Please refer to NVE Bank’s fee schedule, a copy of which is available at any branch location and was provided at account opening.
Notice of your Rights and Liabilities under the EFT Act
The EFT Act provides you with certain rights and responsibilities with respect to electronic fund transfers via our Online Banking system. Your rights and responsibilities in the event of an unauthorized bill payment or unauthorized Account transfer are disclosed below. Please read the following EFT disclosures carefully. You should print this document for future reference. You may obtain a hard copy of this document from us at any time by calling or sending us an email or upon request in person.
If you believe your sign-on ID or password has been compromised, lost, or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, call us immediately at 201-816-2800 or notify us by email to custsvc@nvebank.com.
Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum. If you suggest that an unauthorized transfer or payment may have occurred, we may require you to sign an affidavit.
You could lose all the money in your Account (plus overdraft protection). If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn that your sign-on ID and password have been compromised, lost or stolen, you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50.00) if someone used your password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your sign-on ID and password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500).
Also, if your statement shows electronic transfers that you did not make or authorize, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (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 may extend the time periods to a reasonable time.

We may extend the investigation up to ninety (90) days if on a new account, if the suspected error occurred outside the United States, or if it occurred at a merchant location for the purchase of goods or services. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your Account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of your money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. We will provide provisional credit within twenty (20) Business Days on a new Account, if the suspected error occurred outside the United States, or if it occurred at a merchant location for the purchase of goods or services. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your Account. We will tell you the results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation. If we determine 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.

Equipment
Online Banking and electronic delivery of statements requires that your Internet browser be SSL (Secure Socket Layer) compliant. Most popular browsers support this security feature. We require this to maintain our high security level. If you have an early version of the WebTV browser it will not be SSL compliant. However, the new version 2 and 3 currently support SSL. Some screens in the Service are maximized for users who can set their monitors to a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. This requires WebTV users to scroll across on some pages. We cannot guarantee that Online Banking screens will appear as intended with WebTV browsers.
Our Online Banking system currently works with Netscape 3.0 and higher and with Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher. You must use 128-bit encryption (also called “domestic” or “U.S.” grade encryption), though if you travel overseas you may want 40-bit access as well. The system will inform you when you log in whether you are using a 40-bit browser or not.

- The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the application when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the application will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date prior to the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.
- If your Payment Account is jointly held or has multiple signers, the joint owners and/or multiple signers understand and agree that a request from one Payment Account holder will be deemed a request from all Payment Account holders, that any Payment Account holder has the authority to use the Service, that all Payment Account holders will be jointly and severally liable under the terms of this Agreement and all other agreements that govern such Payment Account, and that all correspondences sent to any Payment Account holder will be deemed sent to all Payment Account holders.
- THE SERVICE GUARANTEE
- Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under “Payment Process and Scheduling” in this Agreement.
- PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE
- By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
- When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize NVE Bank to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you.
- The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, NVE Bank shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee provided in Section 3 of this Agreement or otherwise shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- Negligent use, disclosure or loss of your account information or password;
- Failure to follow NVE Bank’s procedures for submitting a bill payment request or Payment Instructions;
- Delays or mishandling of your payment by Biller;
- Failure to promptly notify NVE Bank after you learn that you have not received credit for a bill payment;
- You have not provided the correct Payment Account information or Payment Instruction information, including but not limited to the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
- Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
- PAYMENT METHODS
- The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted from your Payment Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution for payment).
- PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS
- You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
- STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS
- The Service’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Service at 844-740-7961. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, NVE Bank will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule, a copy of which is available at any branch location and was provided at account opening.
- PROHIBITED PAYMENTS
- Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service.
- Payments to security companies such as Ameritrade for stock purchases or trade taxing authorities.
- EXCEPTION PAYMENTS
- Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall NVE Bank be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments. The Service Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. NVE Bank has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of NVE Bank.

This includes, but is not limited to, name, physical address, phone numbers and email addresses. Changes can be made within the user interface of the Service or by contacting customer care for the Service as set forth in Section 8 above. We are not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Eligible Transaction Account, Payment Instructions or contact information.
- Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions. In using the Service, you are requesting us to attempt to make payments for you from your Eligible Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the Payment Instruction for any reason associated with your Eligible Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the payment), the Payment Instruction may not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us. In each such case, you agree that:
- You will reimburse us immediately upon demand the amount of the Payment Instruction if we have delivered the payment to the Receiver but there are insufficient funds in, or insufficient overdraft credits associated with, your Eligible Transaction Account to allow us to complete the debit processing;
- For any amount not reimbursed to us within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed;
- You may be assessed a fee by our Service Provider and by us if the Payment Instruction cannot be debited because you have insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the transaction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the payment, or if we cannot otherwise collect the funds from you; the fee amount will be as set forth in your fee schedule from us (including as disclosed on the Site) or your account agreement with us. You hereby authorize us to deduct these amounts from your designated Eligible Transaction Account, including by ACH debit;
- You will reimburse us for any fees or costs we incur resulting from the incomplete or returned transaction, including without limitation any fees incurred in attempting to collect any amounts from you; and
- We are authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit reporting agency.
- Service Fees and Additional Charges. You understand and agree that you are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INSTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO OUR FAULT, except for those fees that are specifically use-based, such as Request Money, if applicable. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Eligible Transaction Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts (or Other Eligible Transaction Accounts) will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and/or Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and/or Internet service provider.
- Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.
- Mobile Phone Users. Your phone service provider is not the provider of the Service. Users of the Service will receive text messages relating to their Payment Instructions and other notices from time to time if a mobile phone number is provided. Data and messaging charges from your telecommunications provider may apply, and you are responsible for any such charges. In the event your enrolled mobile device is lost or stolen, you agree to update your enrollment information and make the appropriate changes to disable the use of such device. You understand that there are risks associated with using a mobile device, and that in the event of theft or loss, your confidential information could be compromised.

To stop receiving text messages on your mobile phone, text “STOP” to this number: 767666.
- Your Liability For Unauthorized Transfers. Immediately following your discovery of an unauthorized Payment Instruction, you shall communicate with customer care for the Service in the manner set forth in Section 8, above. You acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence such situations. If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your account through which you access the Service has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your monthly financial institution statement contains payments that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may in our sole discretion extend the period.
- Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments. Sender may cancel the initiation of a Payment Instruction or stop a Payment Instruction at any time until the processing of the Payment Instruction into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun. Our ability to stop a Payment Instruction or recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction will depend on the manner in which the Payment Instruction was initiated, and whether the Payment Instruction to the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun processing. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a stop payment request and to recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your stop payment request or request to recover funds in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting customer care. The charge for each stop payment or fund recovery request will be the current charge for such stop payment or funds recovery service as set out in the applicable fee schedule available at any NVE Bank branch location and provided at account opening or as disclosed through the Site. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment. Payments not claimed by a Receiver will be automatically cancelled ten (10) days after the processing of the payment begins. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver’s decision to accept or not to accept a Payment Instruction initiated or attempted through the Service. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied payment to your Eligible Transaction Account or use other reasonable efforts to return such payment to you as permitted by law.
- Payment Methods and Amounts. There are limits on the amount of money or gift card value you can send or receive through our Service. Your limits may be adjusted from time-to-time at our sole discretion. You may log in to the Site to view your individual transaction limits. We also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf, and the method to return funds to you in the event that your Eligible Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic or paper check payment.
- Receiving Payments. If another person wants to initiate a Payment Instruction (including in response to a Popmoney Request, if applicable) using the Popmoney Service to an Eligible Transaction Account you hold or, as applicable, if you as a Requestor want to initiate a Popmoney Request, he, she or you can do that from the Site or from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Popmoney Service or at the Popmoney Website. Or, as applicable, if another person wants to send you a gift card using the Service, he or she can do that from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Service and makes available the purchase of gift cards through the Service.You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account. You authorize the Sender, the financial institution which holds the Sender’s Eligible Transaction Account and us (including through the Site) to send emails to you and text messages to your mobile phone in connection with the Sender’s initiation of Payment Instructions to you, and, as a Receiver, you may also receive gift cards or Popmoney Requests, each as applicable, from others through the Service. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that funds are transferred into your Eligible Transaction Account as a result of a Payment Instruction and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the Sender, because there were not sufficient funds in the Sender’s account, or for any other reason, then you hereby authorize us or our Service Provider to withdraw from your Eligible Transaction Account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you. If applicable, if you as a Requestor initiate a Popmoney Request using the Service you acknowledge and agree that as disclosed on the Site (a) the applicable service fee will be deducted from payments received by you from a Sender(s), and (b) no service fee will be charged if you as the Requestor do not receive any payments from the individuals to whom the Popmoney Request is sent. Further details about the foregoing can be found on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that individuals to whom you send a Popmoney Request may not receive, or otherwise may reject or ignore, your Popmoney Request. We do not guarantee that you will receive any payments from individuals by initiating a Popmoney Request.
- Initiation of Payment Instructions. You may initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately, (b) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (c) a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site.Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers are processed in two ways. You can provide all the required information about the Receiver, including his/her Eligible Transaction Account, necessary to complete a transfer of funds. Alternatively, you can provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number) and the Popmoney Service may contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that we may validate the identity of the Receiver at the Popmoney Website and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a “Two-Step Transfer”). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with an institution that participates in or offers the Popmoney Service, the Receiver may access the Popmoney Service at his or her financial institution’s website or mobile application to complete the Payment Instruction and receive the payment. You understand and agree that when you initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account using the Popmoney Service, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. If you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day following the specified date. In addition, in the case of all Two-Step Transfers, the deposit of the payment funds into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account (even if debited or withdrawn from your Eligible Transaction Account), or receipt of a gift card, if applicable, may be delayed if the Receiver has not provided the Popmoney Service with certain required information such as his or her Eligible Transaction Account information, or, in the case of a gift card, if applicable, a valid U.S. street address for gift cards that are physically delivered. The Site may contain additional information regarding the delivery of a payment to an Eligible Transaction Account or the delivery of a gift card, if applicable. You acknowledge and agree that we will begin to process the requested transfer of funds once the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information, and you hereby authorize and direct us to retain such funds until the earlier of such time as the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information or ten (10) Business Days. You further acknowledge and agree that our receipt of money to be transmitted to a Receiver shall not be deemed to have occurred and our obligation to complete a Payment Instruction shall not begin until such time as the Receiver provides us with (or we otherwise obtain) all required information necessary to process the related Payment Instruction in accordance with this Agreement. Any cancellation of a Payment Instruction prior to the Receiver providing us with such information shall be subject to the provisions of Section 21, below.
- Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance.
- By providing us with names and telephone numbers, email addresses, and/or bank account information of Receivers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the Service. Once registered, you authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments remitted to you on behalf of a Sender without further approval from you.
- When we receive a Payment Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Transaction Account for the amount of any such Payment Instruction plus any related fees in effect (and as disclosed on the Site) at the time you initiate the Payment Instruction, and to remit funds on your behalf. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees will be charged when we receive a Payment Instruction from you, regardless of whether the Payment Instruction is ultimately completed. You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including but not limited to those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) and those payments that were cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed.
- You acknowledge and agree that if your Payment Instructions identify an account by name and account number, the relevant financial institution may execute those Payment Instructions by reference to the account number only, even if such account number does not correspond to the account name. You further acknowledge and agree that financial institutions holding the account may choose to not investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers and that we have no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers.
- You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any payments that you may receive, regardless of whether you authorized the Sender to send them to you.
- We will use reasonable efforts to complete all your Payment Instructions properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transaction because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the Payment Instruction or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the Payment Instruction;
- Delays or mishandling of your payment by Receiver;
- Negligent use, disclosure or loss of your account information;
- The payment is refused as described in Section 28 below;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Payment Instructions or Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name and address or mobile phone number of the Receiver to whom you are initiating a Payment Instruction; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the Payment Instruction.
- It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information that they enter into the Service (including but not limited to the Payment Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address for the Receiver to whom you are attempting to send a payment), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a payment made to the wrong person or entity once informed, but we do not guarantee such stoppage or recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by the Sender or Receiver.
- Acceptable Use. You agree that you are independently responsible for complying with all applicable laws in all of your activities related to your use of the Service, regardless of the purpose of the use, and for all communications you send through the Service.

If we are unable to complete the transfer for any reason associated with your Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Transaction Account to cover the transaction), the transfer may not be completed.

If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may in our sole discretion extend the period.
- Stop Payment Requests. If you as a Sender desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact customer care for the Service pursuant to Section 28. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so.

The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule available at any NVE Bank branch location and provided at account opening.
- Transfer Cancellation Requests and Refused Transfers. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Service). We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Transaction Account. If this is unsuccessful (for example, the Transaction Account has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to mail you a paper check. If after ninety (90) days (or longer, depending on our then-current standard for unclaimed checks) that check has not been cashed, we will stop payment on it and transfer funds to an “unclaimed funds” account, and will subsequently handle the unclaimed funds as required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

(b) When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the Recipient Account designated by you and to debit one of your Accounts as described below in Section 19 (Service Fees and Additional Charges). You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from your Recipient Account if the debit is returned from the Transaction Account for any reason, including but not limited to non-sufficient funds. (c) We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
