Bank of Edmonson County will provide instructions on how to use the Online Banking service or Bill Payment service. You will gain access to your Online Accounts through the use of your Internet-enabled device, your Internet Service Provider, your Password and your Social Security number or your Tax ID number.

You agree not to allow anyone to gain access to the Services or to let anyone know your Password used with the Services. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions up to the limits allowed by applicable law.

If your Password has been lost or stolen IMMEDIATELY CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. Then, because e-mail is not secure, please call Bank of Edmonson County at 1 (270) 597-2175, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Telephoning Bank of Edmonson County is the best way of minimizing your losses. If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen and you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone uses your Password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, because e-mail is not secure, please notify Bank of Edmonson County immediately by calling Bank of Edmonson County, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday at 1 (270) 597-2175 or writing Bank of Edmonson County at:

If you do not notify Bank of Edmonson County within 60 days after the statement was available to you, you may not recover any money lost after the 60 days which would not have been lost if Bank of Edmonson County had been notified in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) delayed you from contacting Bank of Edmonson County, Bank of Edmonson County will extend the time periods.

In addition to viewing account information, you may use Online Banking to conduct the following transactions:

1. Transfer funds among your checking accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts. NOTE: Because regulations require Bank of Edmonson County to limit preauthorized transfers (including Online Banking transfers), the following limitations apply:
   • Statement savings account. You can make no more than three transfers per statement period by preauthorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or Online Banking.
   • Money Market savings account. You can make no more than three transfers per statement period by preauthorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or Online Banking and no more than three of these may be by check or draft.
2. New services may be introduced for Online Banking from time to time. Bank of Edmonson County will notify you of the existence of these new services. By using these services when they become available, you agree to be bound by the rules which will be made available to you concerning these services.

The Bill Payment service permits you to use your Internet-enabled device to direct payments from your designated online Bill Pay Account to third parties you wish to pay. Your Bill Pay Account must be a checking account. Through the Bill Payment service, you can pay bills from your Bill Pay Account to businesses or individuals.

All payments you make will be deducted from the account that you designate as your Bill Pay Account for the Bill Payment service. Any payments you wish to make through this service must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee located in the continental United States. We reserve the right to restrict types of payees to whom payments may be made using the Service from time to time. You should not use the Bill Payment service to make payments to settle securities purchases, payments to interest bearing accounts, tax payments, or court ordered payments. Payments for these payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly processed or credited.

Funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account on the scheduled payment date. If the date you schedule a payment to be initiated falls on a non-business day (Saturday, Sunday or holiday), funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account the following business day (e.g., Monday). After funds are withdrawn from your Bill Pay Account to make a payment, we may make the payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by mailing the payee a check.

You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular weekly, monthly or semi-monthly intervals. When you create a new payee in the Bill Payment service, it has a temporary status until we have had sufficient time to set up the account, and for your business payees, verify information about your account. You should schedule a payment to a new payee at least ten (10) business days before any payment due date, to allow us time to set up the payee and verify information about your account with the payee.

For all subsequent payments, you agree to allow at least five (5) business days between the date you schedule a payment to be initiated and the payment due date (that is, the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the payee, not taking into account any applicable grace period). If you do not, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other action taken by the payee. If you schedule your payment and follow all instructions provided, but the payment is not received by the payee in a timely manner, Bank of Edmonson County will work with the payee on your behalf to attempt to have any late fees or charges reversed.

Bank of Edmonson County is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. Bank of Edmonson County will not be liable in any way for damages you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your Bill Pay Account to make the payment on the processing date, for delays in mail delivery, for changes to the payee’s address or account number unless you have advised us of the change sufficiently in advance, for the failure of any payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the control of Bank of Edmonson County.

If the session during which you schedule a payment or transfer ends by 3:00 p.m. Central Time, Bank of Edmonson County will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, it will be considered received on the following business day. For all entries made using the service, the time recorded by the Online Banking service controls.

If your Bill Pay Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the date the transfer or payment is attempted or scheduled to be made, the transfer or payment will be canceled and no further attempt will be made by Bank of Edmonson County to make the transfer or payment. Bank of Edmonson County will attempt to notify you by e-mail or U.S. Postal Mail, but Bank of Edmonson County shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient funds in your account to process a transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through the Service. In the case of fixed payments, only the payment currently scheduled will be canceled. Fixed payments scheduled for future dates will not be affected.

The way to cancel or change a payment is to use the Service. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Service prior to 3:00 p.m. on the business day the transaction is scheduled to be initiated. If you ask us to cancel a payment after it is issued and we agree to do so, we may charge you a stop payment fee.

If you send Bank of Edmonson County an electronic mail message, Bank of Edmonson County will be deemed to have received it on the following business day. Bank of Edmonson County will have a reasonable time to act on your e-mail.

You should not rely on electronic mail if you need to communicate with Bank of Edmonson County immediately – for example, if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts or if you need to stop a payment that is scheduled to occur.

You agree that Bank of Edmonson County may respond to you by electronic mail with regard to any matter related to the Service, including responding to any claim of unauthorized electronic funds transfer that you make.
