Digital Banking Agreement

This Digital Banking Agreement and Disclosure (“the Agreement”) is used to inform you of appropriate uses of Digital Banking to obtain information about your accounts, to transfer funds between accounts, pay bills and other bank services available through the Internet and to inform you of certain rights you have under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. The term Digital Banking refers to both online banking using the State Bank’s website which is accessed by an electronic device and an internet connection as well as mobile banking which is accessed through the State Bank mobile app that has been downloaded to a mobile device. You can access mobile banking by downloading the State Bank mobile banking app which is available at the Apple App store for Apple devices or the Google Play store for Android devices. We do not guarantee that your mobile phone/mobile phone service plan will be compatible with our Digital Banking service.

Mobile Deposit Services (in mobile app only)

Our Mobile Deposit Services are designed to allow you to make deposits to your checking account from home or other remote locations by photocopying your checks and electronically transmitting a digital image of your paper checks to us or designated processor. The Mobile Device must capture an image of the front and back of each check to be deposited, must read and capture the magnetic ink character (“MICR”) line on each check, and must read and capture all such other date and information required by this Agreement or Federal Reserve regulations for the processing of these checks for payment. We reserve the right to charge fees for Mobile Deposit Services in the future. Notice of such charge(s) will be provided to you via a change in terms notice.

Original checks are converted to check images, “substitute checks” as such term is defined in the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act and Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Regulation CC”), for deposit and for procession and presentment to a collecting or paying financial institution. For purposes of this Agreement, a “substitute check” (as defined in Regulation CC) is a check reproduction of an original check that meets the following criteria:

  • Contains an image of the front and back of the original check;
  • Bears a MICR line that contains all the information appearing on the MICR line of the original check at the time the original check was issued and any additional information that was encoded on the original check’s MICR line before an image of the original check was captured;
  • Conforms in paper stock, dimension, and otherwise with ANSI X9.100-140 and
  • Is suitable for automated processing in the same manner as the original check.

In order to enroll in Mobile Deposit Services, you must be an authorized signer or an owner either individually or jointly of a State Bank deposit account that is eligible for this service. We reserve the right to terminate the service at any time in our sole discretion.

(a) Eligible Items for Deposit
You agree to scan and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Regulation CC and only those checks that are permissible under this Agreement or such other items as we, in our sole discretion, elect to include in Mobile Deposit Services. You agree that the image of the check transmitted to us shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in New York, except to the extent that the application of this Agreement provides for separate treatment, subject to applicable law. For purposes of this Agreement, “check” (as defined in Regulation CC) means a negotiable demand draft that is drawn on or payable through or at an office of a bank; a Federal Reserve Bank or a Federal Home Loan Bank; the Treasury of the United States; or a state or local government that is not payable through or at a bank. 4 For purposes of the Agreement “item” means an instrument or a promise or order to pay money handled by a bank for collection or payment. The term does not include a payment for ACH or wire transfers.

(b) Unacceptable Deposits
You understand and agree that you will not deposit the following items using Mobile Deposit Services:

  • Any third party check, i.e., any item that is made payable to another party and then endorsed to you by such party.
  • Any item that is drawn on the same account in which the deposit is being made.
  • Any item that contains evidence of alteration to the information on the check.
  • Any check previously converted to a “substitute check”, as defined in Regulation CC.
  • Any item issued to you by a financial institution in a foreign country.
  • Any item that is “stale dated” more than six (6) months prior to the date of deposit.
  • Any item that is “post dated” after the date of deposit.
  • Any item stamped “nonnegotiable” (whether stamped in print or as a watermark).
  • Any item that has been redeposited or returned such as “nonsufficient funds” or “refer to maker” or returned for any other reason.
  • Any item that is incomplete.
  • Cash.
  • Savings Bonds.

Deposits of the kinds listed above may result in the immediate termination of the Mobile Deposit Services. Subject to applicable law, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring us to accept or refuse any check or item for deposit, including the items identified hereinabove, even if we have accepted or refused that type of check or item previously.

(c) Check Requirements
Any image of a check that you transmit to us must accurately and legible provide all of the information on the front and back of the check at the time of presentment to you by the drawer. Prior to electronically transmitting a digital image of the original check, you will restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Mobile Deposit Services by endorsing the check as it is made payable including FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY State BANK and your deposit account number, or as otherwise instructed by us.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of Mobile Deposit Services as we may establish from time to time. Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility. For a check payable to you and any joint owner(s) of your bank account, the check must be endorsed by all such payees and you only use Mobile Deposit Services to deposit such check into a bank account jointly owned by all such payees. If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the check is made payable to you and any non-joint owner, you may not deposit the check into your bank account using Mobile Deposit Services. 5 The digital image of the check transmitted to us using Mobile Deposit Services must accurately and legibly provide, among other things, the following information: (a) your endorsement, and those of any other payees listed on the check; (b) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signatures; and (c) other information placed on the check prior to the time and image of the check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check. The image quality of the check must comply with the requirements established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, including the requirements under Regulation CC, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. The image may be rejected for quality purposes if it does not meet the criteria set forth in this Agreement. You agree that we shall not be liable for any damages resulting from a check or item’s poor image quality, including those related to rejection of or delayed or improper crediting of such check or item or from any inaccurate information you supply regarding the check or item.

(d) Receipt of Items
Upon receipt of the digital image of the check, we will review the check image for acceptability and will convert items meeting our requirements into check images or substitute checks to facilitate the deposit and collection of such items. You understand and agree that electronically transmitting a digital image of a check does not constitute receipt by us. You understand that, in the event you receive a notification from us confirming receipt of an image, such notification does not mean that the image contains no errors or that we are responsible for any information you transmit to us. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive. Following receipt of the image, we will process the image by converting it to a check image suitable for collection or a “substitute check.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we reserve the right, with our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your account and, in the event we reject an item for remote deposit, you must deposit the original item. Even if we do not initially reject an item you deposit through Mobile Deposit Services, we may return the substitute check we create because, among other reasons, the paying bank deems the electronic image illegible. Our failure to reject such an item shall not limit your liability to us. You understand that any amount credited to your account for items deposited using Mobile Deposit Services is a provisional credit and you agree to indemnify us against any loss we suffer because of our acceptance of the remotely deposited check.

(e) Rejection of Deposit
You agree that all deposits received by us are subject to verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall be liable to us for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against us relating to such deposits. We are not liable for any service or late charges levied against you due to our reject of any item. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account due to an item being returned. You acknowledge and agree that we may reject any check transmitted through Mobile Deposit Services in our sole discretion without notice to you, and we will not be liable for any such rejection or failure to notify you of such rejection. If we reject a check for remote deposit, you must physically deposit the original check.

(f) Items Returned Unpaid
A notice will be sent to you if an item that you deposited is returned to us in the manner set forth in the Prior EFT Disclosures and Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures. We may provide additional notice at your e-mail address on file with us. With respect to any item that you transmit to us for remote deposit that we credit to your account, in the event such item is dishonored, you authorize us to debit the amount of such item from your account. You agree to comply with any additional instructions we may provide to you in connection with returned checks.

(g) Availability of Funds
We agree that we will make commercially reasonable efforts to make funds available from electronic images submitted via Mobile Deposit Services from your Mobile Device, though such times may be greater than the funds availability thresholds for items set forth in Regulation CC, the Electronic Funds Availability Act or other applicable law; and only to the extent if any that such applicable law permits greater periods of time. We may make provisional funds immediately available depending on factors we at our sole discretion deem relevant, including but not limited to your account history and relationship with State Bank. Credit given to you in your account is provisional until settlement is final. Mobile banking deposits will be processed Monday through Friday excluding Federal Holidays at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Deposits made after 10:00 a.m. will be processed at 3:00 p.m. Deposits made after 3:00 p.m. will not be processed until 10:00 a.m. of the next business day.

(h) Deposit Limits
We reserve the right to establish and assign to you deposit limits for Mobile Deposit Services (including limits on the dollar amount and/or number of checks that you may transmit through Mobile Deposit Services each day) and to modify such limits from time to time in our sole discretion, and you agree to comply with all such limits.

(i) E-mail Address
You must notify us immediately if you change your e-mail address.

(j) Check Retention and Destruction
You agree to (a) prominently mark the item as “ Electronically Presented” to ensure that it is not represented for payment, (b) securely store each original check that you deposit using the Mobile Deposit Services for a period of (60) sixty days after transmission to us in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements, (c) after such period expires, mark the original “VOID” or destroy it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction, (d) be responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure an original check, (e) never re-present a previously deposited check, and (f) during the retention period, promptly provide any retained check, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, to us as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, 7 or for our audit purposes. If you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.

(k) Periodic Statement and Your Duty to Report Errors
Any remote deposits made through Mobile Deposit Services will be reflected on your monthly periodic statement. You must immediately notify us of any suspected error relating to images transmitted using Mobile Deposit Services no later than (60) sixty days of our transmittal of the periodic statement, subject to a different limitation, if any, that existing law or regulation requires us to impose, after the date of the monthly periodic statement that includes any transaction you allege is erroneous. You are responsible for any errors that you fail to bring to our attention within such time period.

(I) Data Security
You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your Mobile Device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You will notify us in the manner specified in the Prior EFT Disclosures or by telephone at 815-297-0900 if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of original checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction. If warranted in our reasonable judgement, we may audit and monitor you, and you agree to cooperate with us to permit such monitoring, to confirm that you have satisfied your obligations under this Agreement and the Terms and Conditions.

(m) Availability of Service
In the event you are unable to capture, balance, process, produce or transmit a file to us, or otherwise comply with the terms or the procedures of this Agreement or the Terms and Conditions for any reason, including without limitation, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, you will transport or mail originals of all checks to 1718 S Dirck Drive, Freeport, IL 61032.

Our Digital Banking Services allow you to perform external transfers between your State Bank deposits accounts to your accounts at another financial institution. You agree that you will only attempt to add accounts for which you have the authority to transfer funds. All accounts requested to be used as part of this service will be verified in accordance with State Bank procedures. The verification process must be completed by you prior to using the service. Verification instructions are displayed to you during the enrollment process.

We reserve the right to establish and assign to you limits for external transfers and to modify such limits from time to time in our sole discretion, and you agree to comply with all such limits. By enrolling in external transfers, you are authorizing State Bank to initiate debit entries to the financial institution account listed within the digital banking. You agree to maintain a sufficient balance in the referenced deposit account to fund the full debit amount on each scheduled transfer date. You acknowledge that this ACH transfer must comply with U.S. Law. State Bank reserves the right to revoke this authorization at any time.

In the case of a future dated or recurring transfer, these time limits will be the business day following the scheduled date of the transfer. The cutoff time for initiating transfers is 4:00 p.m. Funds requested to be transferred will be credited to the non-State Bank account according to the receiving financial institution’s availability and transaction processing schedule.

NOTICE OF LIABILITY (CONSUMERS ONLY):
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your digital banking username and/or password has been lost or stolen. You should notify us at once if the phone number for you mobile device is changed or service to your mobile device is terminated, or if you believe that your mobile device has been lost, stolen or destroyed, or that your mobile device or any of your accounts have been accessed or used without 11 your authorization.

If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your digital banking username and/or password, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your digital banking username and/or 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 digital banking username and/or password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your digital banking username and/or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. Also, if your statement shows transactions that you did not make, 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 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.

We must hear from you no later than (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) day business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfers involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any errors promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction or a foreign initiated transfer) 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 a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. An account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, if you are a new Customer. We will tell you the results within 3 business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. If your account had been provisionally credited for the error, your account will be debited for the amount of the provisional credit. You may request copies of the documentation that we used in our investigation. We will honor checks (or similar instruments payable to third parties) and preauthorized transfers from your account without charging overdraft fees for five (5) business days after the notification, provided that the items honored would have been paid if we had not debited the provisionally credit funds.

CONFIDENTIALITY
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transaction you make:

  • To complete transactions as necessary
  • To verify the existence and condition of your account upon the request of a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
  • To comply with government agency or court orders; or
  • If you give us your written permission

SECURITY STATEMENT
State Bank employs the latest in Internet Security and User Authentication to ensure that data being transmitted through the Digital Banking System is secure from unauthorized access. A brief overview of security controls are provided below.

Logical Security
State Bank’s Digital Banking system utilizes a defense-in-depth security model. This means that there are many layers of security controls in place to protect confidential information. A multilayered router and firewall architecture effectively isolates confidential information from internet 17 access. The Digital Banking network is properly segmented using VLAN's Sub-Net, and Network Address Translation, and it utilizes the latest industry standards and protocols for secure communication (i.e. VPN, SSL, IPSec, etc.)

We proactively monitor and manage detection of vulnerabilities and security events, and immediately take the proper corrective actions.

Username/ID’s are unique to each user and strong password criterion is required.

Data Security
As a result of the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), financial institutions are required to ensure data privacy. State Bank’s Digital Banking System has deployed a comprehensive Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to meet these regulatory requirements for transmitting sensitive information. The Digital Banking’s PKI is a cohesive system of effective policies, processes and encryption technologies (i.e. PGP, Entrust, VeriSign etc.) that all work together to confirm user authenticity and ensure data confidentiality and integrity.

By combining the latest technology with authenticated access, State Bank makes your Digital Banking transactions secure.

Secure Access and Verifying User Authenticity
To begin a session with the bank's server, the user must key in a username/ID and a password. Our system, the Digital Banking System, uses a "3 strikes and you're out" lock-out mechanism to deter users from repeated login attempts. After three unsuccessful login attempts, the system disables the user requiring a phone call to the bank to verify the identity of the user and to enable the user before reentry into the system.

Secure Data Transfer, Router and Firewall
Once the server session is established, the user and the server are in a secured environment. Requests must filter through a router and firewall before they are permitted to reach the server. With the use of these technologies, your digital banking transactions are secure.

COMPLETE AGREEMENT
This Agreement represents the sole and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding Digital Banking services and merges and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous written or oral agreements and understandings regarding the subject matter hereof.
