YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO CLASS ACTION, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, MAY BE PURSUED IN ANY ARBITRATION OR IN ANY COURT PROCEEDING, REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR ACCRUED, OR WHEN THE ALLEGATIONS OR FACTS UNDERLYING THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OCCURRED. YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR THE RESOLUTION OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES.
INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Credit Union and their successors and assigns, from any claim, action, liability, loss, damage or suit, arising out of any action or inaction on Our part in connection with these Agreements and Disclosures and/or Your failure to abide by its terms. In the event of any claim made by or against Us, We shall provide You with reasonable and timely notice of such claim, and thereafter You shall at Your own expense promptly defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless the Credit Union against said claim or any loss or liability thereunder. In the event You fail to defend and/or indemnify and hold Us harmless, then in such instance We shall have full rights to defend, pay or settle said claim on Your behalf without notice to You and with full right of recourse against You for all fees, costs, expenses and payments made or agreed to be paid to discharge said claim. You further agree to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees necessary to enforce such provision. Such indemnity shall be unlimited in amount and duration and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all parties, their successors, assigns and personal representatives.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. We are not liable for any consequences resulting from the payment of a check that contains a restrictive legend or other such limitation (e.g. "Void after 90 days," "Not valid over $500.00" or "Two signatures required") unless We have previously agreed, in writing, to the restrictions and/or limitations.
DEPOSIT OF ITEMS. You may make deposits to Your Account using any method available from Us. Such methods may include deposits made in person, by mail, electronic means, remote deposit capture, and any other means that may become available. We have the right to refuse to accept any check or instrument for deposit at Our sole discretion. If You deposit an item and it is returned unpaid, We will debit Your Account for the amount of the item and charge You a fee. You will be liable to Us for the amount of any item You deposit which is returned unpaid, and in addition, will be responsible for any of Our costs and expenses incurred in the collection of such returned item from You, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Subject to Our Funds Availability Policy, You may not be able to withdraw funds from Your Account until We have received final settlement for any items deposited. If You make a deposit on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, or after Our predetermined cut-off hour on business days, the deposit will be credited to Your Account as of the next business day.
COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF ITEMS. In processing items You have deposited for collection, We are only Your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. Any item deposited is subject to final settlement in cash or credit. We may use any method We feel is appropriate to collect items, which may include use of a Federal Reserve Bank. We are not responsible for the acts of any third party We use for the collection of items including responsibility for lost items. If We use a local clearinghouse in the collection of items, You authorize Us to do so and to act in accordance with any applicable rules and regulations. We may permit You to withdraw funds from Your Account before final settlement has been made, however, if final settlement is not made, We have the right to charge Your Account or otherwise require You to repay such funds. In processing items presented for payment on Your Account, We will pay such items each business day based solely on an order of Our choosing. This means that the transactions may not be processed in the order in which they occurred and that You could incur multiple fees in a single day should there be insufficient funds to pay all items presented that day.
OVERDRAFT PROTECTION. To the extent permitted by law, You authorize Us to transfer funds from other Accounts You may have with Us in necessary multiples (or in such increments as We may from time to time determine) to Your Account to cover any overdraft. If You have a line of credit with Us, transfers will be made first from Your primary share Account, provided You have enough available funds in that Account, and then We may elect to pay such overdraft, subject to any preference You have indicated to Us for clearing any overdraft(s). Overdraft transfers are subject to a transfer fee. You hold Us harmless from any and all liability which might otherwise exist if a transfer does not occur.
OVERDRAFTS. You understand and agree that We may from time to time, and at Our sole discretion, pay certain items in order to cover an overdraft, and charge You a fee for doing so. You further understand that payment of any overdrafts will be made in an order of Our choosing. You hold Us harmless from any and all liability which might otherwise exist if We do not pay an overdraft. If You would like to opt-out, that is, if You would prefer We not pay any check that would overdraw Your share draft Account, You may opt-out by writing to Us at P.O. Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053-0032 or by calling Us at (877) 695-2328, and informing Us of Your intention to opt-out.
NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF ACH ITEMS. Under the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association which are applicable to ACH transactions involving Your Account and as permitted by law, We are not required to give You next day notice of receipt of an ACH item, and We will not do so. We will continue to notify You of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements We provide to You.
PROVISIONAL PAYMENT (ACH ORIGINATION). Credits given by any Receiving Depository Financial Institution to the receiver with respect to any automated clearing house credit entries subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC-4A), are provisional until the Receiving Depository Financial Institution has received final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank, or has otherwise received payment as provided in §4A-403(a) of UCC-4A. If the Receiving Depository Financial Institution does not receive such final settlement or payment, then they shall be entitled to a refund from the receiver of the amount so credited, and We shall not be deemed to have paid the receiver the amount of such entry.
PROVISIONAL PAYMENT (ACH RECEIPT). Credit given by Us to You with respect to any automated clearing house credit entry is provisional until We receive final settlement for such entry through a Federal Reserve Bank. If We do not receive final settlement, You are hereby notified and agree that We are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to You in connection with such entry, and the party making payment to You via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid You the amount of such entry.
CHOICE OF LAW. We may accept payments on Your behalf for Your Account which have been transmitted through one or more Automated Clearing Houses ("ACH") and which are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. Your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California as provided by the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, which are applicable to ACH transactions involving Your Account.
EXPENSES. If We incur any costs or expenses as a result of any attachment, garnishment or levy against Your Account, You will reimburse Us for such costs or expenses or We may charge them to Your Account.
INACTIVE OR DORMANT ACCOUNTS. Inactive Accounts may be subject to an Inactive Account Fee. If no activity occurs in Your account within the time period specified by applicable state law, the property in Your account may be subject to transfer to the appropriate state authority ("escheatment"). We have no liability if Your Account becomes dormant and is therefore subject to escheatment in accordance with state and/or federal law.
LIEN IMPRESSMENT AND SET-OFF. You agree that We may impress and enforce a statutory lien upon Your Accounts with Us to the extent You owe Us any money and We may enforce Our right to do so without further notice to You. We have the right to set-off any of Your money or property in Our possession against any amount You owe Us. The right of set-off and Our impressed lien does not extend to any Keogh, IRA or similar tax deferred deposit You may have with Us. If Your Account is owned jointly, Our right of set-off and Our impressed lien extends to any amount owed to Us by any of the joint Owners.
CREDIT REPORTING NOTICE. We may report information about Your Account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on Your Account may be reflected in Your credit report.
MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS, FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES. You agree to pay Us any applicable fees or charges, and are responsible for any minimum balance requirements and deposit requirements called for in Our Agreements and Disclosures provided to You when You opened Your Account. In any case and with proper notice to You, fees, charges, balance requirements and deposit requirements may be changed by Us from time to time.
SUSPENSION OF SERVICES. We have the right to suspend the benefit of any Credit Union service at any time for reasonable cause. At Our discretion, We also have the right to pay any check presented for payment from Your Account after Your Account is closed or suspended and to recover such amount paid from You. Account services are available to those members in good standing with the Credit Union. We reserve the right to cancel or suspend services to a member who is not in good standing, which includes, but is not limited to members that have: (a) a delinquent loan; (b) a primary savings Account balance below the $5.00 minimum; (c) an unresolved deposited returned check; (d) any unpaid and uncollected fees; (e) a negative balance on an Account; (f) failed to comply with the terms and conditions of any lawful obligation with Us, and as a result, caused Us to suffer a financial loss; (g) manipulated or otherwise used Our services or products in the furtherance of an illegal purpose; (h) committed, or threatened, acts of violence against Our employees, agents or members; (i) failed to conduct themselves in a civil and businesslike manner; (j) committed or attempted to commit fraud; or (k) used a personal account for commercial purposes.

For any such request to remain valid, however, You must also supply Us with a written request within 10 days after You make any such oral request. Stop payment requests are also subject to the terms and conditions of the Order For Stop Payment form related to any such request. Your request must be given to Us in a timely manner so that We have a reasonable opportunity to act on Your request. A written stop payment request is effective for six months. If at the end of 6 months You request Us to continue the stop payment order, that request will be treated as a new request. We are not liable if We pay a check which You have requested Us to stop payment on as long as We act in good faith and exercise ordinary care.
In any event, any damages that We might otherwise be liable for shall not exceed the amount of the involved check. If We do pay a check for which You have requested stop payment and as a result any other item is returned unpaid by Us due to nonsufficient funds, We are not liable for any consequences resulting from such action. If Your Account is a joint Account, any Owner of the Account may request a stop payment. Any release of a stop payment order must be made by the person who made the request. If You ask Us to stop payment on a pre-authorized transfer, Your request will be processed under the provisions of Our Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement with You.
You may also ask Us to replace a lost, destroyed or stolen cashier's, teller or certified check and if You do, You agree to execute a declaration of loss and claim for reimbursement form together with any other documentation We may require, such as an affidavit. Regardless of the type of documentation presented to Us, the request must be in a form acceptable to the Credit Union and given to Us in a timely manner so that We have a reasonable opportunity to act on such request. Such declaration of loss and claim for reimbursement will not become effective until the later of: (a) the 90th day after the date of the check (or 90th day following the date of acceptance, in the case of a certified check); or (b) the date We receive the declaration of loss and claim for reimbursement together with any other required documentation.
SHARE DRAFTS AND OTHER ACCOUNT ACCESS DEVICES. Any share draft or other Account access device which does not meet Our standards for acceptance may be rejected by Us, whether such standards are established by law, regulation or Our own policy.
POSTDATED, STALE OR OVERDRAFT CHECKS. You understand that postdating a check will have no effect on whether or not it is honored prior to or after the date of any check. A stale check is any check received by Us that is dated 6 months or more prior to the date of receipt. We may pay or refuse to pay any postdated, stale or overdraft check, or other item presented for payment on Your Account without any liability.
CHECK SAFEKEEPING. Check Safekeeping is automatic on Your Account and Your cancelled check will not be returned to You. You understand that cancelled check retained by Us are later destroyed after a reasonable period of time. If You subsequently request a copy of a check and We are unable to supply it, then We shall not be liable for any damage You may sustain in excess of the face amount of the involved check.
PERIODIC STATEMENTS. You will be provided with a periodic statement showing activity on Your Account. If You believe any statement reflects discrepancies, You must notify Us of such discrepancies within 30 days from the date We mailed the statement to You. If the discrepancy noted is the result of an electronic fund transfer, then the provisions of Our Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement with You will control resolution of the matter.

or regulation.

GENERAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL ACCOUNTS
Member in Good Standing. The Account services described in these Agreements and Disclosures are available to those members in good standing with the Credit Union. We reserve the right to suspend services to a member who is not in good standing, which includes members that have:
Minimum Balance Requirements. To be a member and maintain Accounts with Us You must purchase 1 share in the Credit Union. The par value of a share in this Credit Union is $5.00. If the balance in Your primary share Account drops below 1 share ($5.00), at any time, We may, at Our option, close Your Account.
Nonsufficient Funds Returns. Any share draft or pre-authorized transfer, or transaction made through the use of a debit card, or other electronic means, as is applicable (including any in-person transaction), that is presented to Us for payment on Your Account when Your Account lacks sufficient collected funds to pay any such item may, at Our option, be returned for nonsufficient funds or We may honor any such item and charge You a fee for doing so.
Your Account may be charged a NSF fee when We return or reject transactions presented or submitted against Your Account that would exceed Your available balance. You understand and agree a transaction You have authorized (including, but not limited to, a share draft or electronic fund transfer) may be presented or submitted to Us multiple times and You could be charged multiple NSF fees if We return or reject the transaction multiple times.
Overdraft Balance Calculation. When processing transactions that debit or credit Your Account, We start each Business Day with Your final Account balance from the preceding Business Day. The final balance takes into Account all of the debit and credit transactions that were settled that Business Day pursuant to Our Funds Availability Policy, as well as any other debits or credits to Your Account that were finally settled that day, as described above in the "Deposit of Items" and "Collection and Processing of Items" sections of the Account Agreement. This starting balance at the beginning of a Business Day (the preceding Business Day's final balance) is sometimes referred to as Your "actual balance."
As credits and debits to Your Account are received by Us, We add them to and subtract them from Your actual balance. Examples of credits include, but are not limited to, electronic direct deposits, check deposits, ACH credits that have settled that day, and cash deposits made to one of Our tellers. Examples of debits include, but are not limited to, checks drawn on Your Account that are presented to Us for payment together with such checks that are returned unpaid and subsequently represented for payment, electronic fund transfer (EFT) debit transactions (such as preauthorized payments and settled EFT debits) and all reinitiated electronic fund transfer (EFT) debit transactions (such as preauthorized payments), memo-posted EFT debits (EFT debits that We have authorized but which have not been settled) and all Credit Union fees and charges. As noted above, these examples are not an exhaustive list and should not be construed as such. The result of this calculation at any given point in time is called Your "available balance."
For the purpose of determining whether an overdraft has occurred, We use Your available balance. First, We add all of the settled credit transactions to the beginning actual balance. Then, We subtract all of the debit transactions that settled that day. We also subtract all of the pending debit transactions. This determines the available balance for overdraft purposes. Each debit transaction that We process when Your Account has, or will have, a negative available balance is an overdraft, subject to an overdraft charge.
Subject to applicable law, You are responsible for paying any overdraft fees and charges assessed in connection with Our payment of an overdraft, as well as any NSF fees charged to Your Account when We dishonor and return an item for non-sufficient funds. It is Your responsibility to know Your Account balance, and if You have any questions You should contact a Credit Union representative.
Variable Rate Information. For all variable-rate Accounts, the interest rate and APY may change at any time based on the determination of the Credit Union's Board of Directors.
Additional Transaction Limitations. For all Accounts (except share draft Accounts), the Credit Union reserves the right to require a member intending to make a withdrawal to give written notice of such intent not less than 30 days before any such withdrawal.
Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
Compounding and Crediting. For all dividend-bearing Accounts, dividends will be earned daily for each day on which Your balance exceeds the minimum balance requirement for Your Account. For all dividend-bearing Accounts (except Business Relationship Checking and Additional Business Checking Accounts), the dividend period is daily, and dividends will be compounded and credited to Your Account quarterly.
For Business Relationship Checking and Additional Business Checking Accounts, the dividend period is daily, and dividends will be compounded and credited to Your Account monthly.
For all dividend-bearing Accounts, accrued but uncredited dividends will not be paid at the time You close Your Account.
Balance Computation Method. For all dividend-bearing Accounts, dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the Account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the Account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
Accrual on Noncash Deposits. For dividend-bearing Accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on the business day that You place noncash items (e.g. checks) into Your Account.
Fees and Charges. Any fees and charges applicable to Your Account are disclosed on the accompanying schedule of fees and charges provided in conjunction with these Agreements and Disclosures.
ELECTRONIC SERVICES AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE
THIS IS YOUR ELECTRONIC SERVICES AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE. IT INCLUDES NECESSARY STATEMENTS AND ANY SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR VISA DEBIT CARD ("CARD"), OUR AUDIO RESPONSE SYSTEM ("VIRTUAL ASSISTANT”), OUR INTERNET ACCOUNT ACCESS SYSTEM ("ONLINE BANKING"), AND OUR MOBILE INTERNET ACCOUNT ACCESS SYSTEM ("MOBILE BANKING"), EACH WITH THEIR CORRESPONDING PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN) OR ACCESS CODE, AND ANY CHECKS YOU AUTHORIZE TO BE PROCESSED ELECTRONICALLY ("E-CHECK").
VISA DEBIT CARD, VIRTUAL ASSISTANT, ONLINE BANKING, MOBILE BANKING AND E-CHECK AGREEMENT. This Agreement applies to any electronic fund transfer made to or from Your Account(s) by You or by any user who has access to Your Account with actual, apparent or implied authority for use of Your Account. Electronic fund transfers to and from Your Account can be made through the use of, but may not be limited to the following: (a) Your Card in Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) or at any place that it is honored including those transactions made through the use of the appropriate PIN in conjunction with Your Card; (b) Our Virtual Assistant; (c) Our Online Banking system; (d) Our Mobile Banking system; and (e) any check which You authorize the payee to process electronically. An electronic fund transfer is any transfer of funds which is performed through the use of Your Card, Our Virtual Assistant, Our Online Banking system, Our Mobile Banking system, e-Check or other electronic device. You understand that Your Card and any Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) or Access Codes are issued by Us and are not transferable. The use of Your Card, PIN and/or any other Account access device is subject to the following terms. You agree: (a) to abide by Our rules and regulations as amended related to the use of Your Card, PIN and/or other Account access device; (b) that We may follow all instructions given to Machines; (c) not to use Your Card for illegal transactions including, but not limited to, advances made for the purpose of gambling and/or wagering where such practices are in violation of applicable state and/or federal law; and (d) that each withdrawal by You or by any authorized user of Your Card or PIN may be charged to Your share or share draft Account, as appropriate, and will be treated as though it were a share withdrawal except that: (1) We may charge withdrawals to Your share Account in any order We determine; and (2) We cannot honor stop payment requests on ATM and POS withdrawals.
We may, but are under no obligation to do so, process an Electronic Fund Transfer that exceeds the available balance in Your share and/or share draft Account. In the event that any such transfer occurs, You agree to immediately pay Us the overdrawn amount and to the extent permitted by law, any associated fees and charges. For security reasons there are limits on the number of transactions that may be processed each day.
ISSUANCE OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND ACCESS CODES. You will be issued a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be used in conjunction with VISA Debit Card transactions and separate Access Codes or PINs to be used in conjunction with Virtual Assistant, Online Banking and Mobile Banking. Your use of Your PIN or Access Code is Your authorization to Us to withdraw funds from Your share Account or Your share draft Account to cover such transactions.
OTHER AGREEMENT. If electronic fund transfer transactions involve other agreements You have with Us, the terms of those agreements will apply as well.
BUSINESS DAYS. Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
DELAYED FUNDS AVAILABILITY NOTICE. Subject to Our Delayed Funds Availability Policy, deposits made at Los Angeles Federal Credit Union locations may not be posted to Your Account until they are received and verified by Us.

If You schedule a payment to be paid on a business day that We are open, We will consider that day to be the day of Your request. However, if You schedule a payment to be paid after We are closed or on a day We are not open, We will consider that the request was made on the next business day We are open. The Credit Union cannot guarantee the time any payment will reach any of Your payees and accepts no liability for any service fees or late charges levied against You. Payments requested to be sent on dates that do not exist in a given month (e.g. February 30th or April 31st), or fall on Saturdays, Sundays, federal reserve and other Credit Union observed holidays will also be sent on the next business day.

For information about the types of transfers and the limitations imposed on such transfers, please refer to the separate Person-To-Person agreement, which governs the terms and conditions of the Person-To-Person service.
Through the use of the Mobile Banking platform You may access the Account-to-Account feature and transfer funds from: (i) Your Credit Union shares to other shares owned by You that are located at financial institutions outside of the Credit Union; and (ii) deposit accounts owned by You that are located at financial institutions outside of the Credit Union to Your Credit Union Accounts.
By using an internet connection and an internet enabled mobile computing device (e.g. smartphone or tablet), an imaging application/device, special software and an Access Code and/or User ID, You may also use the Mobile Banking platform to access Our remote deposit system in order to initiate the deposit of checks into Your share and share draft Account(s) You have with Us. You understand and agree that the remote deposit of Items into Your deposit accounts with Us through use of remote deposit are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. § 1693 et seq.) or Regulation E (12 CFR 1005.1 et seq.). The remote deposit of Items into Your designated deposit accounts with Us is instead governed solely by the terms and conditions set forth in the separate remote deposit capture agreement.
E-CHECK TRANSACTIONS. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from Your share draft Account using information from Your check ("e-Check") to: (a) pay for purchases; or (b) pay bills.
OWNERSHIP OF ACCESS DEVICES. Your Card and/or any other Account access device will remain Our property and any such Card or other Account access device We may issue may be cancelled or its use restricted by Us at any time without notice, except as may be required by applicable law. You agree to surrender any such Card and/or access device and to discontinue its use immediately upon Our request. You will be required to return any Account access device(s) to Us immediately upon the closing of Your Account.
NOTIFICATION OF PRE-AUTHORIZED DEPOSITS. If You have arranged to have direct deposits made to Your Account at least once every 60 days (from Your employer, the federal government or other payor), You can call Us at the telephone number shown in this Agreement to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
RIGHT TO STOP PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS. If You want to stop any pre-authorized payments, call Us at (877) 695-2328 or write to Us at P.O. Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053-0032 in time for Us to receive Your stop payment request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If You call, We may also require You to put Your request in writing and get it to Us within 14 days after You call. To be sure that a third party does not bill You again for the "stopped" payment or to cancel the entire pre-authorized payment arrangement, contact the third party.
To ensure that recurring preauthorized charges established and authorized by You are not interrupted in the event that Your Card or other Access Device is reissued, We may, but are under no obligation to do so, enroll Your account in automatic account information update services that communicate new Card/Access Device information to the service providers with whom You have established preauthorized recurring charges, the purpose of which is to ensure charges You authorize continue without interruption.
NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS. If regular pre-authorized payments may vary in amount, the person You are going to pay will tell You, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that You set.
OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO STOP PAYMENT. If You order Us to place a stop payment on one of Your pre-authorized payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and We do not do so, We will be liable for losses or damages, to the extent provided by law.
TRANSACTION SLIPS. You can get a receipt at the time You make any transaction to or from Your Account (except for Virtual Assistant, Online Banking, Mobile Banking, mail-in transactions, and certain small-value transactions). When an electronic transfer has been made during any given month, You will receive a monthly statement to reflect all Electronic Fund Transfers to or from Your Account during that statement period. In any case, You will receive a statement at least quarterly.
FEES. We may assess reasonable charges against Your Account for transactions performed at electronic terminals. If so, We will specify any charges for these or other types of electronic transactions, including automatic transfers, on an accompanying pricing document. We will explain the charges to You when You open Your Account. You will be provided with a fee schedule, Virtual Assistant, Online Banking, and Mobile Banking information after Your Account is established. Additional fee schedules are available at any of Our office locations. When You use an ATM not owned by Us, You may be charged a fee by the ATM operator, or any network used, and You may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if You do not complete a fund transfer.
LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS. If We do not properly complete a transaction to or from Your Account according to this Agreement, We will be liable for Your losses or damages. However, We will not be liable if: (a) Your Account does not contain enough available funds to make the transaction through no fault of Ours; (b) the ATM where You are making the transfer does not have enough cash; (c) the terminal was not working properly and You knew about the breakdown when You started the transaction; (d) circumstances beyond Our control prevent the transaction despite reasonable precautions that We have taken; (e) Your Card is retrieved or retained by an ATM; (f) Your Card or PIN has been reported lost or stolen and We have blocked the Account; (g) the money in Your Account is subject to legal process or other claim; (h) there are other lawful exceptions established by Us and You are given proper advance notice of them; (i) You exceed any limits on Your Account; and (j) the VISA network does not allow the transaction to proceed due to anti-fraud or similar consumer protections employed by that network.
LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE. Telephone Us at once at (877) 695-2328 or after hours at (888) 910-7820, or write to Us at P.O. Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053-0032, if You believe Your Card or PIN have been lost or stolen or if You believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without Your permission using information from Your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping Your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in Your Account (plus Your maximum overdraft line of credit, if applicable).
IN CASE OF ERRORS OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS. Telephone Us at (877) 695-2328 or after hours at (888) 910-7820, or write to Us at P.O. Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053-0032 as soon as You can, if You think Your statement or receipt is wrong or if You need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from You no later than 60 days after We send You 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 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after We hear from You and will correct any error promptly. If We need more time, however, We may take up to 45 days to investigate Your complaint or question. If We decide to do this, We will credit Your account within 10 business days for the amount You think is in error, so that You will have the 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.
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. You may ask for copies of the documents that We used in Our investigation.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS. To report a lost or stolen Card, PIN, Access Code or any combination thereof, You will call Us at (877) 695-2328 or after hours at (888) 910-7820, or write to Us at P.O. Box 53032, Los Angeles, CA 90053-0032. You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if You believe a transfer has been made using the information from Your check without Your permission.
FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS. For transactions initiated in foreign currencies, the exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency (U.S. Dollars) will be: (a) a rate selected by VISA from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate VISA itself receives; or (b) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. In each instance You will be charged 1.00% calculated on the final settlement amount for transactions that are initiated in foreign currencies and/or that occur in foreign countries. Transactions initiated via the internet with merchants or other parties located outside of the United States of America are deemed to occur in the foreign country where the merchant or other party is located.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. We may disclose information to third parties about Your Account or transfers You make: (1) when it is necessary to complete an electronic transaction; or (2) in order to verify the existence and conditions of Your Account for a third party such as a credit bureau or merchant; or (3) in order to comply with a government agency or court order, or any legal process; or (4) if You give Us written permission.
TERMINATION. We may terminate Your right to use Your Card, PIN or Access Code, or cancel this Agreement at any time upon written notice. You may request termination of these services in writing.
CHANGE IN TERMS. We may change the terms and charges for the services shown in this Agreement and may amend this Agreement from time to time upon proper notice to You.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is controlled and governed by the laws of the State of California, except to the extent that such laws are inconsistent with controlling federal laws.
FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE
EXCEPT FOR CHECKS DRAWN ON FOREIGN BANKS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, THIS DISCLOSURE DESCRIBES YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS FROM TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS AT LOS ANGELES FEDERAL CREDIT UNION. YOU SHOULD ALSO REFER TO THE SECTION OF THESE AGREEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES THAT DESCRIBES THE DETAILS OF YOUR SPECIFIC ACCOUNT TYPE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Your Ability to Withdraw Funds. Our policy is to delay the availability of funds from Your cash and check deposits. During the delay, You may not withdraw the funds in cash and We will not use the funds to pay checks that You have written.
Determining the Availability of a Deposit. The length of the delay is counted in business days from the day of Your deposit. Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If You make a deposit before 12:00 a.m. midnight Pacific Time on a business day that We are open, We will consider that day to be the day of Your deposit. However, if You make a deposit after 12:00 a.m. midnight Pacific Time or on a day We are not open, We will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day We are open.
The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.
Same-Day Availability
Funds from electronic direct deposits to Your account will be available on the day We receive the deposit.
Same-Day Availability
Funds from the following types of deposits will be available on the business day We receive the deposit:
Next-Day Availability
Funds from the following Deposits are available on the 1st business day after the day of Your deposit:
If You do not make Your deposit in person to one of Our employees (for example, if You mail the deposit), funds from these deposits will be available on the 2nd business day after the day We receive Your deposit.
Other Check Deposits
The first $275.00 from deposits of other checks will be available on the business day of Your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the 2nd business day after the day of Your deposit. For example, if You deposit a check of $700.00 on a Monday, $275.00 of the deposit is available on Monday. The remaining $425.00 is available on Wednesday.
Longer Delays May Apply. Funds You deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
We will notify You if We delay Your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and We will tell You when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the 7th business day following the day of Your deposit. In any case, We reserve the right to refuse an item for deposit or encashment.
Special Rules for New Accounts. If You are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days Your Account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to Your Account will be available on the day We receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers and the first $6,725.00 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day We receive the deposit, if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to You. The excess over $6,725.00 will be available on the 9th business day after the day of Your deposit. If Your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of Our employees, the first $6,725.00 will not be available until the 2nd business day after the day of Your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the 9th business day after the day of Your deposit.
ATM Deposits. For deposits made at ATMs owned and operated by the Credit Union, deposits will become available for withdrawal on the 2nd business day after the day of Your deposit. For deposits made at ATMs not owned and operated by the Credit Union, deposits will become available for withdrawal on the 5th business day following the day of deposit. All ATMs that We own or operate are identified as Our machines.
Holds on Other Funds. If We cash a check for You that is drawn on another institution, We may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in Your Account. Those funds will be available to You at the time that the funds from the check We cashed for You would have been available if You had deposited it. If We accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another institution, We may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay Your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that You have on deposit in another account with Us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this policy for the type of check that You deposited.
Location of Check Endorsements. Federal law requires all check endorsements to be in the first 1-1/2 inches of the trailing edge of the back of the check. The trailing edge is opposite the left side of the face of the check, the side of the check just behind Our address. You will be responsible for any costs incurred by Us due to delays in returning checks deposited into Your Account that do not comply with the endorsement standards.
Dividend Payment Policy. See the Account Disclosures section in these Agreements and Disclosures for Our policy on the payment of dividend.
THESE ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHENEVER YOU REQUEST A WIRE TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT(S) WITH US BASED UPON YOUR ORAL OR WRITTEN REQUEST. WE WILL PROVIDE WIRE TRANSFER SERVICES AS A MEANS TO INITIATE DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS FOR YOU, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH YOU AGREED TO BY SIGNING YOUR APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP WITH US AT THE TIME THAT YOUR ACCOUNT WAS ESTABLISHED.
This Wire Transfer Agreement applies to wire transfers that are not "Remittance Transfers" as defined in the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693o-1) and Regulation E, Subpart B (12 CFR 1005.30 et seq.).
We are authorized to charge Your Account for the payment of wire transfer requests. If more than one Account(s) is designated, We may charge any of the designated Accounts unless You give Us specific written directions otherwise. Your transfer requests may involve the transfer of funds from any of Your designated Accounts with Us to another account You have with Us, to any other financial institution, or to a third party or account of a third party maintained with Us or any other financial institution. Except as provided by applicable law, there are no restrictions or limitations on the amounts which may be ordered or requested, or on the location or address of the beneficiary of a transfer unless You give Us written instructions to the contrary.
The party(ies) named in Your application for membership are the Authorized Persons who may issue payment orders to Us for the initiation of wire transfers or to receive telephone calls from Us, in accordance with this Agreement, for the purpose of confirming payment orders for the initiation of wire transfers which have been transmitted to Us under this Agreement for any Account designated in Your application for membership. For confirmation purposes, We may call any party designated in Your application for membership. If more than one Authorized Person is named, any one of them may issue payment orders on any designated Account.
Wire transfer requests must be given to Us in compliance with Our cut-off hours as established from time to time by Us. We are not responsible for the accuracy of a routing number which You supply verbally and which is contained in Your wire transfer request. Wire transfer requests received by Us after Our cut-off hours may be treated as if received on the following business day.
We have no obligation to accept or execute any wire transfer request. We will provide You notice of rejection by telephone or in writing.
If We accept a wire transfer request consistent with this Agreement, You agree that any such transfer requests which We receive are effective as Your transfer request, whether or not authorized.
You will have no right to cancel or amend a payment order to initiate a wire transfer after We receive it. We will make a reasonable effort to act on a cancellation or amendment of a payment order made by You prior to the time that We execute such payment order, but We have no liability if Your cancellation or amendment is ineffective.
You agree to re-execute this Agreement or to execute a new agreement if changes are necessary. Your application for membership designates any Account which may be charged in relation to wire transfer requests. All parties which You have authorized to issue wire transfer requests or to receive telephonic confirmations from Us are identified in Your application for membership. All modifications or additions to Your application for membership must be in writing.
You agree to pay Us the amount of any transfer request which We transmit pursuant to this Agreement when We execute a payment order to carry out Your wire transfer request. You will not make any wire transfer request which would cause You to exceed the available balance in the Account designated to pay the transfer request. If a payment order is executed which creates an overdraft, with or without Our prior consent, You agree to pay Us the overdraft amount and any overdraft fee immediately upon Our demand. We have the right to set-off the amount of any overdraft against the balance in any of Your accounts with Us and We may exercise any rights We have under any agreements which grant Us security for the payment of Your liabilities or obligations to Us.
You understand and agree that the payment of a wire transfer request may be made by Us or any other financial institution used to carry out the transfer request on the basis of an identifying or account number which You have provided for a beneficiary, even if the number identifies a person different from Your intended beneficiary. You also understand and agree that We or any other financial institution used to carry out a transfer request, may rely on the identifying number of the intermediary or beneficiary's financial institution which You have provided as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's financial institution, even if the number identifies a financial institution different from the one You intended to identify. We or any other financial institution are not responsible for determining whether any identifying or account numbers You have provided to initiate a wire transfer are accurate. You will be liable to Us for the amount of any transfer request even if payment of the transfer request is made to a person different from the named beneficiary based upon the beneficiary's identifying or account number provided by You or payment of the transfer request is made to a financial institution different from the one identified by name based on the identifying number which You have provided to Us.
You agree to examine any statement or confirmation which We send You and to notify Us within 30 days after the mailing date on any statement or confirmation, of any discrepancy or error. If You fail to notify Us of any discrepancy or error within the required time period, You agree that We are not liable to pay interest or reimburse You for any discrepancy or error in relation to a transfer request described in such statement or confirmation.
You and the Credit Union agree that the following specified security procedures represent a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders: (a) Only individuals named in Your application for membership shall issue wire transfer requests to Us; and (b) We reserve the right to telephonically contact any individual named in Your application for membership for the purpose of confirming a transfer request, regardless of amount, although We have no obligation to do so. If We cannot obtain a confirmation satisfactory to Us, then We reserve the right to refuse to honor any wire transfer request.
We have no responsibility to verify the identity of any party identifying themselves as an individual authorized to receive a telephonic confirmation of any wire transfer request, other than to verify that the name given by such party corresponds to a party named in Your application for membership. If, for any reason, We are not satisfied that a wire transfer request was issued by an authorized party or confirmed by an authorized party, We may refuse to execute the transfer request. If We do so, We shall not incur any liability of any nature. You agree to prevent disclosure, other than on a need-to-know basis, of any of the aspects of the security procedures which You have agreed to with Us. You will notify Us immediately if You believe the confidentiality of the security procedures has been compromised and You shall act to prevent the security procedures from being further compromised.
We have no liability of any nature for delays or mistakes, provided We act in good faith and with reasonable care. We are not responsible for delays or mistakes caused by other parties through whom We transmit funds whether such other parties were selected by You or Us. We are not required to make a wire transfer on the day a wire transfer request is received, unless the wire transfer request is received within a reasonable time before any cut-off hour We have established. We will generally use the funds transfer system, but We may use any means and routes that We, in Our sole discretion, consider suitable for the transmission of funds.
You agree that We have no liability and are not responsible for any delay or failure to transfer any amount specified in any wire transfer request because of rules, regulations, or policies of the Federal Reserve Board which limits, in the aggregate, the amount We can transfer from time to time during any business day, provided, however, that We will promptly notify You of any such failure or delay and will effectuate the transfer as soon as is reasonably possible.
We shall have no liability whatsoever for any special, consequential, punitive, or indirect loss or damage suffered by You in connection with services offered by Us which are subject to this Agreement, regardless of whether We know or should have known such damages might be incurred. We have no responsibility for any attorneys’ fees that You might incur.
We may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written or oral notice to You. Unless We terminate this Agreement, the Agreement shall remain in effect until We receive written notice of termination from You and have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to act on Your termination notice. You may not assign this Agreement to any other party.
This Agreement is governed by the provisions of Regulation J, 12 CFR Part 210, Subpart B, including the Appendices, to the extent that any wire transfer request is carried out. Terms which are not defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code Article 4A. This Agreement is also subject to all applicable Operating Circulars of the Federal Reserve Bank in the district in which We are located and any other applicable provisions of federal or state law. To the extent that Regulation J does not apply to this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which We are chartered.
We may amend this Agreement, from time to time, by sending You a copy of any amendment at least 30 days prior to its effective date. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by You and Us. No representation or statement not expressly contained in this Agreement or in any amendment shall be binding upon You or Us.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by applicable law, such prohibition shall apply only to that provision and all other provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
