You agree that as a condition of receiving the “Xceed Financial Credit Union Online Business Banking Services” to comply with all the terms and conditions of the “Xceed Financial Credit Union Online Business Banking Services” License.
- Your “Xceed Financial Credit Union Online Business Banking” Accounts. Accounts included are ones you maintain with us that you wish to access with the Services.
- Fees. You agree to pay us the Service fees described in the most current Businesses Fee Schedule. We will charge them directly to your account(s) with us. We may amend our Service fees from time to time by providing you with notice.
You also are responsible for the costs of any communication lines and any data processing charges payable to third parties.
- Access to Account Data. You can obtain balance and other account information through the Services. Since certain information and transactions are not processed by us until after the close of our business day, some transactions may not be reflected in the system until the next banking day. “Posted” items may be reversed due to insufficient funds, stop payments etc. Items may appear as paid, yet may be reversed the next day. Certain balances also may not be subject to immediate withdrawal. We assume no responsibility for any loss arising from incomplete information or for any temporary interruption in our information system.
- Information Processing and Reporting. We offer a number of Services which require us to receive, process and report information involving your accounts and transactions. We will not be responsible for determining the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any information which you or others provide to us. We will not have a duty to interpret the content of any data transmitted to us, except to the limited extent set forth in this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we will not be required (by means of any security procedure or otherwise) to detect errors in the transmission or content of any information we receive from you or third parties.
You acknowledge that it is not possible for the Services to be totally free from operator, programming or equipment error, and that errors in processing and compiling data may occasionally occur (e.g., due to the failure of others to provide accurate information, telecommunication failures, or a breakdown in an electronic data interchange). As such, you agree to review and verify all results and to maintain adequate controls for insuring both the accuracy of data transmissions and the detection of errors. Unless otherwise required by law, our sole responsibility for any reporting errors caused by us will be to reprocess the information for the period in question and to submit corrected reports at our own expense. You agree to maintain adequate backup files of the data you submit for a reasonable period of time in order to facilitate any needed reconstruction of your transactions (e.g., in the event of a telecommunication failure). If we are unable to provide a service for any reason, we will promptly inform you of the problem and will take reasonable steps to resume processing.
- Inaccurate/Conflicting Information. If you submit a funds transfer request which describes an intermediary financial institution, beneficiary financial institution or beneficiary by name and identifying account number, we and other financial institutions may process the request on the basis of the identifying number, rather than the name, even if the number identifies a different person, entity, account or financial institution. We are not obligated to review any funds transfer request for inconsistencies or to confirm the correctness of any such request, except to the extent provided in this Agreement.
- Sign On ID and Pass Codes and Procedures. We will provide you with a number and entry code or password (“Sign On ID and Pass Code”) to access the System. You agree to: (a) change your Sign On ID and Pass Code immediately upon initial login; (b) comply with all security procedures we provide to you in connection with the Services; (c) take reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the Sign On ID and Pass Code, and any other proprietary property or information we provide to you in connection with the Services; (d) limit access to your Sign On ID and Pass Codes to persons who have a need to know such information; (e) closely and regularly monitor the activities of employees who access the Services; and (f) notify us immediately if you have any reason to believe the security or confidentiality required by this provision has been or may be breached.
Your Sign On ID and Pass Code may be changed by you from time to time. You agree to change your Sign On ID and Pass Code immediately if someone who has had access to the Code is no longer employed by you or is no longer authorized to use the Services. We may also require you to change your Sign On ID and Pass Code at any time. We may deny access to the Services without prior notice if we are unable to confirm (to our satisfaction) any person’s authority to access the Services or if we believe such action is necessary for security reasons.
Each time you perform a funds transfer with the Service, you warrant that the Sign On ID and Pass Code procedures are commercially reasonable for the transaction, based on the circumstances involved (e.g., the size, type, and frequency of your transfers, as well as your internal controls). We may process any funds transfer request we receive through the Service which includes your Sign On ID and Pass Code. Fund transfer requests submitted with the Sign On ID and Pass Code will be deemed effective as if made by you, and you will be obligated to pay us the amount of such orders, even if they are subsequently determined to be unauthorized.
You agree that you control the addition and deletion of users and the level of user authority for transactions. You agree to utilize the security and audit features provided by the Service. You can learn about security features by reviewing the User Guide or the On-Line User Help.
- ACH Transactions. When engaging in any transactions through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”), you agree to comply with the Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), the Rules, in existence as of the date of the Agreement and as amended from time to time. You can obtain a copy of the NACHA rules by contacting (Enter Regional Association Affiliate contact information here). You also agree not to initiate any ACH transactions that would violate the laws of the United States including, and not limited to, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Regulations.
- Entries. All ACH entries (“Entries”) delivered by you must comply with the requirements set forth in the Rules, any applicable ACH Security Procedures and OFAC.
- Customer Authorization and Record Retention. Before the initiation by you of the first entry involving a customer, you agree to obtain from such customer authorization to initiate Entries to the customer’s account, which authorization must comply with the Rules. You agree to provide each customer with a copy of their authorization. Each Entry thereafter may only be made pursuant to such authorization, and no Entry may be initiated by you after such authorization has been revoked or the arrangement between you and such customer has terminated. You agree to retain Customer authorizations for two years after they are terminated and other documents related to Entries for a period of two years and agree to immediately furnish any such authorizations and any related documents to us upon request.
- ACH File Limits. You agree to inform us if your transactions exceeds the limits determined by us. We may review your ACH file limits from time to time.
- Cancellation and Amendment of Entries. You have no right to cancel or amend an Entry after it has been received by us. We may act on a request by you for reversal of an Entry file pursuant to the Rules; provided, however, that we are not liable for interest or losses if such reversal is not effected. You agree to indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse us for any expenses, losses, claims or damages we may incur in effecting or attempting to effect any request for the reversal of an Entry. We will be entitled to payment from you in the amount of any such reversal of an Entry file prior to acting on any such request.
- Rejection of Entries. We may reject any Entry with or without cause or prior notice. We will notify you of such rejection (either electronically, in writing, by telephone, or as otherwise agreed to by you and us) no later than two business days after the date of an Entry. We will not be liable to you for the rejection of the Entry, for the non-receipt of a notice given to you, or for the failure to give notice of rejection at an earlier time than provided for herein.
- Notice of Returned Entries. We will notify you either electronically, in writing, by telephone, or as otherwise agreed to of the receipt of an Entry returned by the ACH no later than one business day after receipt of the returned Entry. We have no other obligation with respect to a returned Entry.
- Notices and Statements. We are not required to and may not provide any notice of receipt, transmittal or debiting of Entries. Entries and other debits and credits to your accounts will be reflected on the periodic statement for your accounts, however.
- OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) Rules. This amendment requires the Company to comply with the laws of the United States of America, including any economic sanctions administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Company represents and warrants that, when it transmits Entries to Bank, Company is not acting on behalf of, or transmitting funds to or from, any party subject to such sanctions.
- ACH (Automated Clearing House) Reversals. This amendment requires the Originators of reversing entries provide the Receiver with notice of and the reason for the transmission of a reversing entry to the Receiver’s account. This notice must be provided no later than the settlement date of the reversing entry.

Instructions received after the cutoff hour or on a non-business day may be deemed received as of the next business day.
A fund transfer request is deemed to be received by us when the status in your Wire Manager grid changes to Processing. A fund transfer request is deemed to have been processed when the status of the Wire request is Confirmed. Unless you notify us of a problem with the transfer or confirmation within five days, you will be deemed to have approved the accuracy of the information contained in the confirmation.
- Overdrafts. In the event that we in our discretion overdraft any of your accounts to make any transfers pursuant to this agreement, we shall not be obligated to do so in the future, regardless of the number of times we shall have previously allowed such overdrafts. You shall be liable for the payment of any transfers made by us pursuant to the Agreement even though there were insufficient funds in your account(s) at the time the transfers were made.
- Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, we will be liable to you only for damages arising directly from our intentional misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of the Services.
