Customer may authorize individual payments or may authorize automatic payment of recurring bills. Payments will be made by checks mailed to the creditor or by ACH transfers depending on the requirement of the creditor. The Bank has no obligation to notify the Customer of the method of payment to be used. Payments sent by mail may not be postmarked and may not provide proof of date of mailing the payment. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to give an instruction to pay a bill in sufficient time for the payment to be delivered by the date that payment is due.

Payments will be administered by an independent third party and the Bank has no control over the processing or delivery processes. The Bank has no liability to the Customer for acts or omissions of the third party service provider.

For bills paid by check, checks will be issued on the Customer’s Account regardless of whether sufficient funds are in the Account on the day the check is issued and the Account will be charged on the date the check is presented for payment. If there are not sufficient Available Funds in the Account to pay all of the designated bills the Bank may complete payments to the extent of Available Funds and decline to pay all other bills in accordance with the Bank’s standard procedures. The present standard procedure of the Bank is to pay bills in the order of the dates that payments are scheduled to be processed. If sufficient Available Funds to pay a bill that is to be paid by ACH transfer, the Bank will not pay the bill if sufficient funds are later deposited into the Account. If sufficient Available Funds to pay a bill that is to be paid by a check dawn on the Customer’s Account, the Bank the bank may pay the check in accordance with the Bank’s standard procedures for paying checks if sufficient funds are later deposited into Customer’s Account.

If the Bank does not pay the bill, the Customer may be charged the Bank’s standard checking insufficient funds fee. If multiple payment authorizations are scheduled for processing at the same time and there are not sufficient Available Funds to cover all of the transactions, the Bank may complete one or some of the transactions in accordance with the Bank’s standard procedures and refuse to complete all other transactions for which there are not sufficient Available Funds. Customer may contact the Bank for information about the Bank’s standard procedures for determining which transactions may be completed if there are insufficient Available Funds.

The positive pay service permits the Customer to verify certain items in checks before they are paid to help prevent payment of unauthorized checks. If a Customer uses the positive pay service the Customer will notify the Bank in advance of checks that Customer writes on Customer’s account. When a check is presented to the Bank for payment the Bank will compare the contents of the check with the information Customer provided to the Bank. The Customer will designate certain information contained in checks that will be verified by the Bank before a check is paid (the “Verifiable Data”). The Customer will designate how many items of a check will be included in Verifiable Data. The Customer will submit to the Bank a list of Verifiable Data for all checks issued by the Customer (the “Issue List”). The Issue List shall be submitted to the Bank electronically.

The Customer is solely responsible for any Issue List errors contained in the Issue List. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to assure and confirm that the Bank receives the Issue List by the Cut Off Time. The Customer bears all risks of failure of communication systems used to deliver the Issue List to the Bank.

If any Check is submitted to the Bank for payment against the Account, and if the Check corresponds with the Verifiable Data for such Check in the Issue List, then the Customer authorizes the Bank to pay the Check and the Bank shall have no liability to the Customer if the Check is forged, counterfeit, duplicate, altered or otherwise invalid in any way. The Bank will not be required to verify any of the other information contained in any Check included on the Issue List other than the Verifiable Data designated by the Customer. The Bank will have no liability for paying checks that are not valid if the invalidity of the check could have been identified by a term that was not part of the Verifiable Data items designated by the Customer. The Bank will not be required to confirm the validity of the signature or the absence of a signature on the Checks; or the contents of automated clearing house transfers or drafts drawn on the Account. Notwithstanding anything else setout herein, if there are any apparent errors in encoding information by a payee or by a depository or collecting bank, the Bank is authorized to correct such encoding errors to be consistent with the Verifiable Data, and such Check will not be reported to the Customer as being inconsistent with the Verifiable Data.

If the Bank determines that any Verifiable Data is inconsistent with the information contained in the Issue List, or if the Check is not included in an Issue List, the Bank will attempt to notify the Customer through the Bank’s online banking system or by telephone or e-mail. The Bank will not have any obligation to send multiple files of the same exception. If Customer does not approve the exception within 2 hours after notice of the exception is delivered to Customer then the Bank will return the Check as “refer to maker”. The Bank shall be entitled to act on any instructions received from any person responding on behalf of the Customer without further investigation or authorization.

If the Bank fails to identify or notify the Customer of contents of a Check that do not conform to the Verifiable Data, as required hereunder, the liability of the Bank to the Customer shall be limited to the lesser of the actual damages to the Customer or the amount of the Check. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Bank shall have no liability for paying any Check that is otherwise properly drawn against the Account even if the Check is not listed on the Issue List. The Customer will indemnify the Bank against all costs, claims and expenses incurred by the Bank as a result of paying any Check that conforms to the Verifiable Data, or returning any Check that does not conform to the Verifiable Data.

Multiple fingerprints may be stored on a mobile device to grant access to the device and its applications. This feature should not be turned on for any user who allows fingerprints for multiple persons to be stored on their device.

By turning this feature on for this year, all fingerprints stored on the user’s device will be allowed to access all business account(s) this user can access. Therefore, in enabling this feature, you authorize and will be responsible for all transactions conducted by all persons with fingerprint access stored on this user’s device, regardless of whether you intended or wanted such transaction to occur. You agree to hold harmless Central Bancompany and its affiliates in the event such transactions occur.

FACE ID

If the user has twins or siblings that look like them and you are concerned about their access from our Mobile Application, we recommend you do not enable biometric login.

Please note: We reserve the right to suspend or disable Biometric Login at any time.
