On.Line Bill Pay


Description of Internet Banking Services

EBank’s consumer and business customers enjoy the benefit of using our internet banking services with no monthly or annual fees. 

a) Account Information 
You can specifically obtain the following information:

Certain account history for the current and previous statement cycles. You may also export this information directly to your computer through such formats as Quicken, Microsoft Money or Excel. 


Interest information on your interest-bearing deposit accounts and loan accounts.

Account-related information such as the current balance on accounts, loan payment amounts, payment due dates and certificates of deposit maturity dates. 

b) Funds Transfers
You may conduct the following transfers between your EBank accounts:
Transfer funds from checking to checking
Transfer funds from checking to savings
Transfer funds from savings to checking
Transfer funds from savings to savings
Make loan payments from checking or savings

You may make arrangements for one time, on demand transfers or loan payments, or make scheduled transfers to occur in the future or on a recurring basis. Although you can enter transaction information through our online banking service twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, payments can be initiated only on business days. Funds will be deducted from your Account on the business day on which the transaction is to be “initiated”. This is the “transaction date”. If you direct the initiation of a transaction to occur on a day other than a business day, it will be initiated on the following business day.

You will be provided a confirmation number with each transfer. Please write down this number when you receive it. It will help resolve any questions you may have concerning your transaction.

Bill Pay Transactions
Enrolling in EBank's online banking (on.line) does not automatically enroll our customers in EBank's bill pay programs (eTRAN and eTRAN Plus). Bill pay is a separate service and may be established by clicking on the bill pay link within the online banking site. For specific information regarding eTRAN programs read the Consumer Terms and Conditions within our bill pay site.

Equipment and Software
To access Earlham Bank on.line and to receive electronic disclosures, you must have an active account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Internet Explorer or Netscape with version number(s) 6.0 and above with 128 bit encryption, and an external e-mail address. We may revise hardware and software requirements at anytime after providing you 30 days advance notice and providing you the opportunity to change your method of receiving disclosures without the imposition of any fees. You are responsible for, at your expense, obtaining, installing, maintaining and operating all equipment you use. We do not warrant nor will we be responsible for any errors or failures from the malfunction or failure of your equipment. You agree that Earlham Savings Bank is not responsible for any electronic virus that you may encounter using Earlham Bank on.line.

Hours of Operation
You can access Earlham Bank on.line through the Earlham Savings Bank website, 24-hours a day. However, at certain times, some or all of the service may not be available due to system or internet maintenance. 

A transfer between deposit accounts initiated through Earlham Bank on.line before 6:00 p.m. Central Time on a business day we are open will be posted to your account on the same business day. Transfers initiated after 6:00 p.m. on a day we are open or on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday, will be posted on the next business day. Credits to loan accounts initiated through Earlham Bank on.line may take up to two business days to post.

Correcting or Canceling Your Transaction
You cannot cancel your transfer after it has been entered in online banking and the information transmitted to us. However, you can correct information about a transfer before you send us the information or you can use Earlham Bank on.line to make an off-setting transaction after it has been entered.

Your User Code and Password
Each individual who has access to Earlham Bank on.line, including each individual named on joint accounts, must use a user code and password. User codes and passwords should never be shared. You agree that if this information is shared with others, you are ultimately responsible for any account transactions that occur. To initially access Earlham Bank on.line you will use a temporary password which will be assigned by the Bank. User codes and temporary passwords will be mailed to you at the address we have on record within 24 hours, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Federal Holidays, of receipt of your electronic application. User codes and passwords will be given to you at the time of application when setting up online banking in person at any of four convenient locations. The first time you access Earlham Bank on.line, you will be required to change your password. Your password must be a minimum of eight characters, up to 17 characters, which must consist of at least two numeric and two alpha characters (all lower case). For example, your password may be: 123online. You are encouraged to change your password periodically to enhance security or anytime you feel security has been breached.

Business/commercial customers must be authorized signers on all accounts in which business is transacted. By signing up for online banking and representing your organization/business you agree to be responsible for the user code and password associated with the account. You agree that if this information is shared with others, you are ultimately responsible for any account transactions that occur. It is highly recommended that passwords not be shared with other employees or officers representing the organization. You agree that in the event you leave employment or your position, that you will notify the bank immediately so that your password may be removed from the system.

Unauthorized Access
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your user code or password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum line of credit). If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your user code or password without your permission. If you believe your user code or password has been stolen, and you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your user code 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 user code or password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your user code or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. 

Also, if your statement shows transfers 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 you lost after 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. 

If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

If you believe your user code or password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call:
(515) 223-4753 during normal business hours as listed in this agreement, or write: Earlham Savings Bank, 7300 Lake Drive, West Des Moines, Iowa 50266. WE CANNOT ACCEPT NOTIFICATION OF LOST OR STOLEN USER CODES OR PASSWORDS OR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS VIA E-MAIL.

We reserve the right to block your access to Earlham Bank on.line to maintain or restore security to our web site and systems, if we reasonably believe your password has been or may be obtained, is being used or may be used by an unauthorized person(s).

Holds
If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires. You agree that you will instruct us to make a transfer only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in the designated account at the time of the transfer. You understand that we will not act on any transfer instruction from you if sufficient funds are not available in the account that you designated.

Financial Institution Liability
If we do not complete a transfer to or from you account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to
make the transfer.
2. If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
3. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not
have enough cash.
4. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
6. There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

Restrictions on Transfers from Savings and Money Market Accounts
Your ability to make transfers from your savings accounts and money market account is restricted by Federal Reserve Board Regulation D. For each savings/money market account, you are prohibited from making more than six pre-authorized or automatic transfers per statement cycle. Pre-authorized or automatic transfers include transfers made through ONLINE services. No more than three of these six may be made payable to third parties, such as checks, bill payments, ACH transfers or debit card entries. The following transfers do NOT count towards these limits:

1. Transfers from your savings account(s) or money market account(s) to repay any amounts owed to Earlham Savings Bank.
2. Transfers made by mail, messenger, ATM or in person

Once a savings account or money market account has violated the Regulation D limits, Earlham Savings Bank will notify you and may convert the account to an account allowing unlimited activities. In addition, if you exceed limits, additional charges may apply. See your account disclosure for further information.
