YOUR LOGIN ID, PASSWORD AND OTHER SECURITY PROCEDURES
You will be required to use a Login ID assigned to or selected by you, as well as a password selected by you, each time you log-in to use Digital Banking. You agree that we may rely on your Login ID, password, and other security procedures, as further described below and as we may modify at our sole and exclusive discretion from time to time, to identify and authenticate you when you use the Service (Security Procedures). You agree to protect the Security Procedures to prevent unauthorized use.
The following Security Procedures apply to access by all customers, except as otherwise expressly provided, to Digital Banking Service, including but not limited to the Mobile Banking Service feature of Digital Banking. The Bank may issue new Security Procedures and/or cancel or change any Security Procedures from time to time.
Except as may otherwise be noted, the following Security Procedures are required for all Digital Banking customers:
Login ID. This is the electronic identification (in letters, numerals, and special characters) associated with each user of the Digital Banking that will be used for log-in.
Password. Each user of the Digital Banking Service will also be required to have a unique password known only to the user. Passwords are case-sensitive and must meet certain requirements including, but not limited to, minimum and maximum length and types of characters, as further described in the Digital Banking system. Each user is strongly recommended to change his or her individual password at least every 90 days for security purposes. The Bank requires a minimum of a password change every 365 days. Login IDs and individual passwords may not be shared with any other person or entity.
Enhanced Log-in Security. In addition to the above individual Login IDs and passwords, access to the Digital Banking Service includes, as part of the security procedures, a multi-factor authentication security procedure at log-in for each user.
Enhanced login security incorporates an additional multi-part credential for each user of Digital Banking of identity authentication that may include, but is not limited to, additional log-in security features such as security cookies, flash objects, and one-time passcodes. The enhanced login security will require each user of Digital Banking to establish and utilize, in addition to individual Login IDs and passwords, his/her own individual authentication by selecting a preferred out-of-band delivery channel for one-time security access code (SAC) that may be required from time to time at log-in. These log-in passcodes (SAC) may be delivered to users via email or such other method as Bank may offer from time to time, including but not limited to delivery to a designated phone or Mobile Device, as applicable, either by voicemail or SMS text.
Minimum System Requirements. Digital Banking is designed to operate using the latest operating system and browser combinations. It is important for you to keep your Computer’s operating system and browser version current to ensure maximum security and user experience. The operating systems and browsers listed at bankofwashington.com/browser-check are the minimum requirements necessary to ensure a positive experience while using Digital Banking. Those requirements are in addition to the Computer requirements described in this Agreement, and the recommendations available at the Digital Banking website and associated web pages, including but not limited to the following:
- update the Computer operating system
- keep the browser current
- install anti-virus software and anti-spyware software
- change passwords on a regular basis
- do not click links inside spam email, especially emails claiming to offer anti-spyware software
Additional Strongly Recommended Security Procedures: From time to time and as applicable, the Bank may make available additional Security Procedures for use with Digital Banking. The Bank strongly recommends the use of these additional Security Procedures to help deter and protect against unauthorized transactions associated with the Services, including the following:
- Alerts: As further described in this Agreement, the Bank provides optional Account and security alerts associated with certain modules of Digital Banking and the Mobile Banking Service that you may elect to use. Alerts may be set up to notify you of key Digital Banking transactions or when other important activity has occurred. Additional details about Digital Banking alerts are available at the Digital Banking Service website and associated web pages.
- Security Best Practices: Bank of Washington provides important information, recommendations and best practices for Internet banking security on its website. As an important additional security procedure, it is recommended that all customers regularly review and implement the various actions described to help protect their financial and other sensitive information and mitigate fraud.
We will execute authenticated transfers or transactions that are in conformity with all Security Procedures and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. We may require additional authentication of any transfer or transaction request. We reserve the right to reject a transfer or transaction request that cannot be properly authenticated.
Except as is more fully discussed in this Agreement, you understand and agree that you are responsible for all transfers and payments made through the Service using the Security Procedures. You also acknowledge and agree that if you permit another party(ies) to use the Security Procedures to access the Service, or otherwise authorize them to use the Service, you are responsible for any and all Digital Banking transactions that party(ies) makes from your Account, even if it exceeds your authorization. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we may follow and comply with any transfer instructions entered into the Service using the Security Procedures.
You acknowledge and understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your Accounts through Digital Banking. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to protect the confidentiality of your Account and Account number, the Security Procedures, and your personal identification information, such as your driver’s license number and social security or tax identification number. You should not use a public computer to access Digital Banking. You agree that if you access the Service from a computer other than your own (such as a public computer terminal at a library or Internet café), you will not leave the computer unattended while using the Service. You also agree that, in such situations, you will always end your session using the Service by clicking on the LOG OFF button located at the bottom of the left-hand side menu. We will not be liable to you for any losses that may result from your failure to follow these security provisions.
You understand that personal identification information, by itself or together with information related to your Account, may allow unauthorized entry and access to your Account. Data transferred via Digital Banking is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security, and Digital Banking utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of Digital Banking transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other.
We will never email you to request your Login ID and password or your personal Account information over the Internet. If you suspect that an unsolicited email of this nature is fraudulent, please contact us.
FEES AND CHARGES
While Digital Banking is a free service, you agree to pay the fees and charges for your use of the Service as set forth in the Schedule of Fees as it may be amended from time to time with notice to you as required by Applicable Law. You agree that all such fees and charges will be deducted from the checking Account you designate as the “Primary Checking Account.” If you close your Primary Checking Account, you must contact us immediately to designate another Account as your Primary Checking Account. You agree to pay any and all additional charges for services you request which are not covered by this Agreement. You are also responsible for telephone and Internet service fees you incur in connection with your use of Digital Banking.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE (FMS)
Once enrolled in Digital Banking services, you may supplement and/or enhance your use of Digital Banking by use of QuickBooks®, Quicken®, and related products, which allows you to automatically download transactions and match them with existing transactions from your financial management software (FMS). Access to Account information through FMS must be done using an active Login ID, password and any other access devices or other secure method as may be required. If you choose to use FMS, you must purchase this software from the software manufacturer, or a retailer of your choice. Your use of the FMS is governed by the software license agreement(s) included with each software application. You must agree to the terms and conditions of the software license agreement(s) during the installation of the FMS on your Computer. You are responsible for the correct set-up and installation of the FMS, as well as maintenance, updates and upgrades to the FMS and/or your Computer. We make no warranties nor accept any liability for such software. We are not responsible for any problems related to the FMS itself, your Computer, tablet, phone or other device or your ability to connect using the FMS as described in this Agreement. You are responsible for all transactions that you authorize using FMS. If you permit others to access Digital Banking using FMS, you are responsible for all transactions they initiate. You must establish your own internal security procedures for persons that you may authorize to use Digital Banking via FMS and to prevent unauthorized use by other persons. You should verify all Account data obtained and transactions executed on your Accounts using FMS.
Our records of transactions, instructions and communications regarding your Accounts and use of Digital Banking supersedes any records stored or created on your Computer equipment through the use of FMS. You are responsible for any and all obligations to any software vendor arising from your use of that vendor’s FMS.
DIGITAL BANKING TRANSFERS
Preauthorized Recurring Fund Transfers. To the extent we make them available, you authorize us to establish preauthorized recurring fund transfers in accordance with the requests you make for us to do so. We will only allow preauthorized recurring fund transfers that do not vary in amount.
Limits on Digital Banking Funds Transfers. You must have enough available money or credit in any account from which you instruct us to make a transfer. All transfers must be in U.S. Dollars. For security reasons, we may implement limits on the number or amount of transactions you can make using Digital Banking. We also reserve the right to limit or suspend access to our Digital Banking service as we deem necessary for security reasons. We may also limit access from countries other than the United States of America.
Withdrawals from certain types of accounts may have limits imposed. Please check your Account Agreement or contact us for more information.
When Digital Banking Funds Transfers are Made. Transfers are not final at the time we receive your instructions, but we will begin to process them promptly. You should allow at least one (1) business day for us to process transfers. Each transfer will be posted to any account with us from which it is made, and to any other account with us that is involved in the transaction, on the business day on which the transfer is made. Each transfer you make on a non-business day, or after our Digital Banking cutoff time on any business day, will be considered made on the following business day. Information you obtain about your accounts using our Digital Banking service may not reflect transactions that have not yet been posted to your accounts. You should keep that in mind when you perform or attempt to perform any transactions on the basis of such information.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers from Consumer Accounts. If we do not complete a transfer from a consumer 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 exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available money in the account from which a transfer is to be made, or if the account has been closed or is not in good standing, or if we reverse a transfer because of insufficient funds;
- If any transfer would go over the credit limit of any account;
- If your equipment or ours was not working properly and the breakdown should have been apparent to you when you attempted to conduct the transaction;
- If you have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers or other identifying information so that we can properly credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction;
- If you do not properly follow our instructions or if you provide us with wrong or inaccurate information or fail to correct or tell us about any inaccuracy of which you are aware;
- If you do not instruct us soon enough for your transfer to be received and credited;
- If the money in the account from which a transfer is to be made is subject to legal process or other claim restricting the transaction;
- If circumstances or persons beyond our control prevent, delay, intercept, or alter the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
Limits on Internal Transfers. In addition to requirements and other limits described above and in this Agreement generally, please see your specific Account Agreement for details, or call us at 636-239-7831.
Stopping or Changing Transfers and Stop Payments. If you want to stop or change transfers or stop a payment you have instructed us to make, you must notify us before we have started processing the transaction. This applies to both one-time transactions as well as preauthorized recurring transactions. The normal way to do this is for you to access the appropriate function in our Digital Banking no later than the day before the business day the transfer is scheduled to be made, and either delete it or make the change. You may also contact us at 636-239-7831 or write to us. If you call or write, you must do this in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled to be made.
If you order us to stop a preauthorized recurring transfer from a consumer account as described above, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Transfers Involving Insufficient Funds. If you instruct us to make a transfer and you do not have a sufficient balance in the account from which you are making the transfer (including available credit under any overdraft line), we may refuse to complete the transaction. We may do this even if there are sufficient funds in accounts other than the one you were using to make the transfer. If we complete a transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction in the account from which the transfer is made, you agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other account you have with us. In any case, you are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any transfers you make or authorize.
If we do not make a transfer, or if we reverse a transfer, because of insufficient funds, we are not required to make any further attempt to process the transfer or to notify you that the transfer has not been completed. You may be liable for a non-sufficient funds fee under the terms governing the account from which you made, or attempted to make, the transfer.
DIGITAL BANKING EXTERNAL TRANSFERS
Registration and Access. You must be a consumer or operating under your SSN (Sole Proprietor) enrolled in Digital Banking in order to transfer funds between your Accounts with us and accounts at other financial institutions (“External Transfers”). External Transfers are outbound and inbound transfers that move funds to or from one of your eligible Accounts with us to or from a registered account at another financial institution. An “Inbound” transfer moves funds into an Account you own with Bank of Washington from an account you own outside of Bank of Washington. An “Outbound” transfer moves funds from an Account you own at Bank of Washington to an account outside Bank of Washington that is owned by you or for which you otherwise have the authority to transfer funds. You will need to enroll each non-Bank account that you wish to use for External Transfers.
You agree that (i) you will only register eligible non-Bank accounts (i.e., accounts at financial institutions other than Bank of Washington) on which you are an individual or joint owner, or for which you otherwise have the authority to transfer funds, and (ii) you will only use External Transfers for transferring funds between your personal Accounts with us and registered personal accounts at other financial institutions.
Scheduling External Transfers. External Transfers can be scheduled (or initiated) on either a one-time basis or a recurring basis. One-time transfers may be scheduled to be sent immediately or scheduled to be sent on a future date. The recurring transfer feature may be used when a set amount is transferred at regular intervals. One-time future-dated or future recurring transfers scheduled for a weekend or a non-Business Day will be processed on the next Business Day. All other one-time future-dated and recurring transfers will be processed at the end of the Business Day requested. The cutoff time and delivery date of External Transfers is set forth on our website, in your Account Agreement, and/or in this Agreement.
WHEN TRANSFERS ARE DEBITED FROM AND CREDITED TO YOUR ACCOUNT(S)
Transfers initiated BEFORE Cutoff Time. Funds involving an External Transfer from your Account with us (Outbound) will be debited from your Account and credited to the receiving external, non-Bank of Washington account on the next Business Day after you initiate the transfer. Funds involving Inbound transfers will be debited from the external, non-Bank of Washington account and credited to the receiving Account with us on the next Business Day after you initiate the transfer. Funds credited to the receiving Bank of Washington Account may not be available for use until the second business day following the day of credit.
Transfers initiated AFTER Cutoff Time. Funds involving an External Transfer from your Account with us (Outbound) will be debited from your Account and credited to the receiving external, non-Bank of Washington account on the second Business Day after you initiate the transfer. Funds involving Inbound transfers will be debited from the external, non-Bank of Washington account and credited to the receiving Account with us on the second Business Day after you initiate the transfer. Funds credited to the receiving Bank of Washington Account may not be available for use until the second business day following the day of credit.
For a detailed list of cutoff times list, please refer to our website.
Canceling Scheduled Transfers. Future-dated External Transfers (either one-time or recurring) can be cancelled prior to the cutoff time on the Business Day prior to the date the transfer is scheduled to be made. However, if the transfer’s status is processing, you can no longer cancel it. NOTE: Immediate transfers cannot be cancelled via Digital Banking once the transfer has been processed.
Limits on Amounts and Frequency of Digital Banking Transactions. Transfers from a Savings or Money Market Account are limited to a total of six third party transfers per month. If a hold has been placed on the account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.
For security purposes, External Transfers have limits on the amount of funds that may be transferred in one day and within one month, which may change at any time without prior notice (other than any notice required by applicable law). External Transfers are currently limited to a daily aggregate of $2,500 for inbound and outbound transfers with a maximum amount of $5,000 per month. Individual transfer amounts may be changed at any time without notice at Bank of Washington’s discretion. If there are not sufficient funds in your account to cover and External Transfer, plus the fee, the transfer will not be completed, and you will receive an email notification.
See your specific Account Agreement for details or call us at 636-239-7831.
Disqualifying Events. You agree that we may reduce the dollar limits on transfers as described above or terminate your eligibility to make future transfers (including canceling scheduled future transfers), in each case without prior notice (other than any notice required by Applicable Law), upon occurrence of a Disqualifying Event. Each of the following is a “Disqualifying Event”:
- Any of your Accounts with us are not current or are not in good standing;
- You have had an overdraft, an over-limit item, or an item returned for insufficient funds with respect to any Account with us during the current or six (6) prior calendar months;
- You have had any prior External Transfer involving accounts at other financial institutions cancelled, revoked, or not completed due to insufficient funds, revoked authorization, stopped payments, frozen accounts, or any similar reason;
- We suspect fraud or unauthorized use has or may occur with respect to your Account(s) with us or with respect to any External Transfer(s).
External Transfers and Available Funds. You agree to have Available Funds on deposit in the Account you have designated in amounts sufficient to pay for all External Transfers requested, as well as any other payment obligations you have to us. If External Transfers process against any uncollected deposit, uncollected balance or otherwise insufficient Available Funds in your Account, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE ASSESSED AND CHARGED THE APPROPRIATE OVERDRAFT, UNCOLLECTED, OR RETURNED ITEM (NSF) FEE. See our Schedule of Fees on our website for the current fees, if applicable for these charges.

MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICE
The Mobile Deposit Service (Mobile Deposit) is designed to allow you to make deposits of paper checks (Checks) to your checking, savings or money market savings Accounts with Bank of Washington from home or other remote locations by using your eligible camera-enabled Mobile Device to capture images of the Checks and transmitting the digital images and associated deposit information (Images) to us or our third-party processor (Processor) with your Device.
Eligibility. You must be a user of Bank of Washington’s Mobile Banking Service to use Mobile Deposit.
Enrollment. In order to use Mobile Deposit, you must: (a) have one or more eligible Deposit Accounts with us, (b) have an eligible Device, and (c) be a user of the Mobile Banking Service. Only certain camera-enabled Devices may be used with Mobile Deposit, as specified by us from time to time. You may be required to provide information about the Mobile Device that you will use for Mobile Deposit, as well as the telephone number for your Device, the telecommunications carrier that provides service to your Device, and your email address. Use of Mobile Deposit requires identification of your banking relationship with us as well as verification of your Device. If you use a handheld mobile device other than your Device to access Mobile Deposit, any SMS text messages originating from Mobile Deposit will be sent to the Device you entered and verified when registering for Digital Banking services. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate, complete and current information about you and your Mobile Device (including its telephone number, the telecommunications carrier, and your email address), and to notify us immediately if any of this information changes or if service to your Device is terminated. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your registration for Mobile Deposit if we cannot verify information about you and/or your Device.
Charges for Mobile Deposit. While we currently do not charge for Mobile Deposit, you agree to pay for any future charges we may assess for Mobile Deposit in accordance with our current Schedule of Fees, as amended from time to time, or you may elect to terminate Mobile Deposit. We will advise you of any fee changes prior to implementing them to the extent and as required by applicable law. You authorize us to automatically charge your primary checking Account for all such fees incurred in connection with Mobile Deposit. In the future, we may add to or enhance the features of Mobile Deposit. By using such added or enhanced features, you agree to pay for them in accordance with our Schedule of Fees.
Deposit Limits. We may establish daily and/or monthly limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.
Eligible Items. You hereby agree that you will only scan and deposit a check(s) as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg CC”). You agree that the Image of the check that is transmitted to the Bank (each such check and other item is referred to in this section as a “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”) shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 3 & 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. You also acknowledge and agree that Mobile Deposits that you make using this service are not “Electronic Fund Transfers” as that term is defined in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulation E.
You further agree that you will not use Mobile Deposit to deposit any Checks or other items (considered ineligible or Prohibited Checks) that:
- are payable to any person or entity other than yourself or otherwise to the owner of the account that the item is being deposited into;
- are drawn, or otherwise issued, by you on any of your Mobile Deposit Accounts maintained at another financial institution;
- are prohibited by Bank’s then current procedures pertaining to Mobile Deposit or are in violation of any law, rule or regulation;
- you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are altered on the front of the item, fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the Mobile Deposit Account on which the Checks are drawn;
- have not been previously endorsed by a bank and are either “substitute checks” (as defined in Regulation CC or other applicable federal law or regulation) or “image replacement documents” that purport to be substitute checks, without Bank’s prior written consent;
- are drawn on financial institutions that are located outside of the United States or Territories of the United States;
- are payable jointly, unless deposited into a deposit Account in the name of all payees;
- are remotely created checks, as defined in Regulation CC, or are remotely created payment orders;
- are not payable in United States currency;
- are dated more than six (6) months prior to the date of deposit;
- have any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this section;
- have previously been submitted through Mobile Deposit or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution; or
- are not acceptable to Bank for deposit into a deposit Account as provided in the Account Agreement.
If you deposit a Prohibited Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse the Bank for, and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Bank may incur associated with any warrant, indemnity, or other claim related thereto. Furthermore, if, after first having obtained the Bank’s written consent to do so, you provide the Bank with an electronic representation of a substitute Check for deposit into a Mobile Deposit Account instead of an Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse the Bank for, and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) the Bank incurs because any such substitute check resulting from such electronic representation does not meet applicable substitute check standards and/or causes duplicate payments.
Requirements. You understand you must, and hereby agree, at your sole cost and expense, to use a Device that meets all technical requirements for the proper delivery of Mobile Deposit and that fulfills your obligation to obtain and maintain secure access to the Internet. You understand and agree you may also incur, and shall pay, any and all expenses related to the use of Mobile Deposit, including, but not limited to, telephone service or Internet service charges. You are solely responsible for the payment of any and all costs and expenses associated with meeting and maintaining all technical requirements and additional items necessary for the proper use of Mobile Deposit. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, and updating of all equipment, software, and services used in connection with Mobile Deposit and the cost thereof, and you hereby agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed, all vendor recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and replacements. The Bank is not responsible for, and you hereby release the Bank from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with using electronic mail or the Internet. The Bank is not responsible for, and you hereby release the Bank from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, defects in or malfunctions of your Mobile Device and/or any associated hardware or software, or failures of or interruptions in any electrical, telephone, or Internet services. The Bank hereby advises you, and you hereby agree to scan its Mobile Device and/or any associated hardware or software on a regular basis using a reliable virus detection product in order to detect and remove viruses.
The image of an item transmitted to Bank of Washington using Mobile Deposit must be legible and contain images of the front and back of the Check. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. These requirements include, but are not limited to, ensuring the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of the Check image:
- the amount of the Check (both written and numeric);
- the payee; the signature of the drawer (maker);
- the date;
- the Check number;
- the information identifying the drawer and the paying financial institution that is preprinted on the Check including the MICR line; and
- all other information placed on the Check prior to the time of an image of the Check is captured (such as any required identification written on the front of the Check and any endorsements applied to the back of the Check).
Required Endorsement. Endorsements must be made on the back of the Check within 1½ inches of the “trailing edge” of a check, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Sign your check and write “For Mobile Deposit Only”, or, if available, check the box next to the signature line indicating a mobile deposit. Your deposit may be declined if it is not properly endorsed.
A Check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees. If the Check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the Check is made payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the Check and it must be deposited into a Mobile Deposit Account owned by both of you.
Receipt of Deposit. All Images processed for deposit through Mobile Deposit will be treated as “deposits” under the Account Agreement and this Agreement. When we receive an Image, we will attempt to confirm receipt via a confirmation email to you if you have elected this option and provided us with your email address when you make the deposit. We shall not be deemed to have received the Image for deposit until we have confirmed receipt. Confirmation does not mean that the Image contains no errors. Notwithstanding the fact that we have accepted a Mobile Deposit for processing, any credit made to your Mobile Deposit Account shall be provisional, and you shall remain liable to us for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties, and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against us.
We shall have no liability to you for the rejection of a Mobile Deposit or the Images or other information contained therein or for our failure to notify you of such rejection. We are not responsible for any Image that we do not receive. Following receipt, we may process the Image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an Image.
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any Image for remote deposit into your Mobile Deposit Account. We will notify you of rejected Images by phone, email or other means.
Retention of Checks. After you receive confirmation that we have received an Image, we recommend you securely store the Item for five (5) calendar days from the date of Image transmission. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us the requested Check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your Mobile Deposit Account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the Check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of a Check, the Image will be the sole evidence of the Check. We recommend destroying each Item of which you have transmitted an Image after 14 days.
You agree that you will never deposit the Check or present the Check to us or anyone else for payment. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on a Check that has already been paid.
Returned Deposits. Any credit to your Mobile Deposit Account for Checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is Provisional. As used herein, “Provisional” means that the credit is made to your Mobile Deposit Account subject to final payment of the Checks and subject to the terms of the Account Agreement. If Checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are dishonored, rejected, or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the Image, you agree that an Check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the Check and provide you with an Image of the Check, a paper reproduction of the Check or a substitute check. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage, or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate a Check if it has been charged back to you.
We may debit any of your Accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment, or warranty claim was made timely.
Your Warranties. You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each Image:
- Each Image is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the Check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the Check has no defense against payment of the Check.
- The amount, payee(s), signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the Image and on the Check are legible, genuine, and accurate.
- You will not deposit or otherwise endorse to a third party the Check, and no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the Check or a paper or electronic representation of the Check such that the person will be asked to make payment based on an item that has already been paid.
- There are no other duplicate Images of the Check.
- The Check was authorized by the drawer in the amount stated on the Check and to the payee(s) stated on the Check.
- You are authorized to enforce and obtain payment of the Check.
- You have possession of the Check and no party will submit the Check for payment.
With respect to each Image, you make to us all representations and warranties that we make or are deemed to make to any party pursuant to law, regulation, or clearinghouse rule. You agree that files and Images transmitted to us will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.
Compliance with Law. You will use Mobile Deposit for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You agree to comply with all existing and future operating procedures used by the Bank for processing of transactions. You further agree to comply with, and be bound by, all applicable state or federal laws, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines, operating circulars, and pronouncements affecting Checks and items, including, but not limited to, all rules and procedural guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and any clearinghouse or other organization in which Bank is a member or to which rules Bank has agreed to be bound. These procedures, rules, and regulations (collectively the “Rules”) and laws are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of conflict between the terms of this section and the Rules, the Rules will control.
Mobile Deposit Unavailability. Mobile Deposit may be unavailable temporarily due to system maintenance or technical difficulties, including those of the Internet service provider, cellular service provider, and Internet software. In the event that Mobile Deposit is unavailable, you may deposit Original Checks at our branches, at Bank of Washington ATMs, or by mailing the Check to us.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage of any nature you sustain as the result of your inability to use the Mobile Deposit.
Funds Availability. The cutoff time applicable to Mobile Deposit is Monday through Friday at 5:00 p.m. Central Time (CT). Mobile Deposits confirmed as received before 5:00 p.m. CT on Monday through Friday will be considered deposited on that day. Mobile Deposits confirmed as received after 5:00 p.m. CT, and deposits confirmed received on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday at any time, will be considered deposited on the next Business Day as defined in the Account Agreement. Funds from Mobile Deposits will generally be available to you in accordance with our standard Funds Availability Policy. Bank of Washington may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
Mobile Deposit Security. You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your Mobile Device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. By using Mobile Deposit, you accept the risk that an item deposited through Mobile Deposit will be intercepted or misdirected during transmission. The Bank bears no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items or information disclosed through such transmission errors. You will notify us immediately by telephone at (636) 239-7831 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, if you learn of any loss or theft of Checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of Checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction. If warranted in our reasonable judgment, we may audit and monitor you, and you agree to cooperate with us to permit such monitoring, to confirm that you have satisfied your obligations under this section.
Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the quality, completeness, accuracy, validity, and integrity of the Image. You are solely responsible if you, intentionally or unintentionally, submit fraudulent, incorrect, or illegible Images to us, or if Mobile Deposit is used, by authorized or unauthorized persons, to submit fraudulent, unauthorized, inaccurate, incorrect, or otherwise improper or unusable Images to us.
You agree to notify us of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through Mobile Deposit right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable Account statement is sent or otherwise made available. Unless you notify us within 60 days, such statement regarding all deposits made through Mobile Deposit shall be deemed correct, and you are precluded from bringing a claim against the Bank for such alleged error.
Your Indemnification Obligation. You understand and agree that you are required to indemnify us and hold us harmless, including our affiliates, officers, employees, and agents, against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from your use of Mobile Deposit and/or breach of this section. You understand and agree that this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
You also understand and agree that you are required to indemnify our technology partners or Processor, and hold harmless our Processor from and against any third party claims, suits, proceedings, actions, or demands, including claims of another financial institution, business entity, or governmental authority, and all losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from such claims, to the extent such claim is related to the Bank or your use of Mobile Deposit, our Processor’s applications, unless such claim directly results from an action or omission made by our Processor in bad faith. You understand and agree that this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Cooperation with Investigation. You agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions, and resolution of customer claims, including by providing, upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of items deposited through Mobile Deposit in your possession and your records relating to such items and transmissions.
Suspension and Termination. In addition to any other provision in this Agreement or the Account Agreement on the subject, the Bank may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to you unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, elect to suspend or terminate your use of Mobile Deposit (i) if you or we close the Account(s) established in connection with Mobile Deposit, (ii) if we reasonably suspect that you have engaged in fraud or other abuse with regard to Mobile Deposit, (iii) in the event of a material breach in the performance or observance of any term, or breach of any representation or warranty, by you, (iv) if we believe immediate action is required for the security of your or the Bank’s funds, or (vi) if we reasonably believe that the continued provision of Mobile Deposit would violate federal, state or local laws or regulations, or would subject Bank to unacceptable risk of loss. Notwithstanding any termination, this section and the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all transactions initiated prior to such termination.
Ownership and License. You agree that the Bank and/or its service provider(s) retain all ownership and proprietary rights in Mobile Deposit, associated content, technology, and website(s). Your use of Mobile Deposit is subject to and conditioned upon your complete compliance with this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, your breach of this section or the Agreement immediately terminates your right to use Mobile Deposit. Without limiting the restriction of the foregoing, you agree that you will not modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the technology or Mobile Deposit; copy or reproduce all or any part of the technology or Mobile Deposit; or interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the technology or Mobile Deposit.

UNAUTHORIZED DIGITAL BANKING TRANSACTIONS FROM YOUR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT(S)
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this Agreement as soon as you can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. Also, if your statement for a consumer account shows transfers covered by this agreement that you did not make or authorize, tell us at once. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the 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. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us IMMEDIATELY.

For Consumers Only – We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after you contact us and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involves a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) 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. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide 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.

All transactions that person performs, even transactions you did not intend or want performed, are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is no longer authorized, then transactions that person performs after the time you notify us are considered unauthorized, so long as we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on your notice. Transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions. For your protection, you should sign-off after every Digital Banking session and close your browser to ensure confidentiality.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR BUSINESSES
This portion of the Agreement applies to Business Entities or Individuals Performing Transactions from Business Accounts.
COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS ENTITY
If you are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or some other form of business entity, we will issue one set of access codes to a company representative. It is your responsibility to ensure that access codes are provided only to persons you authorize. You represent to us that each company representative and anyone else using your access codes has general authority from your company to give us instructions to perform transactions using our Digital Banking and Mobile Banking.
If you are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, or some other form of business entity, we will issue one set of access codes to a company representative. It is your responsibility to ensure that access codes are provided only to persons you authorize. You represent to us that each company representative and anyone else using your access codes has general authority from your company to give us instructions to perform transactions using our Digital Banking and Mobile Banking.
Each person using your access codes will have the ability to:
- Make transfers from qualifying accounts, regardless of the dollar amount of the transaction.
- Make transfers regardless of whether he/she is otherwise an authorized signer or an obligor on any accounts that are accessed.
- Obtain information that we make available about qualifying accounts.
- Obtain other services or perform other transactions that we authorize or allow.
- Allow anyone else to use those access codes to make transfers or obtain information or other services.
YOUR LIABILITY FOR TRANSACTIONS FROM BUSINESS ACCOUNTS
You are liable for all transactions that you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authority. If you or a company representative has given someone your access codes and want to terminate that person’s authority, you must notify us that transactions by such a person are no longer authorized. You can terminate granted access codes yourself. You may call a branch representative for assistance with terminating an authorized user or company representative. We may have to change your access codes or take additional steps to prevent further access by such person.

You can terminate granted access codes yourself. You may call a branch representative for assistance with terminating an authorized user or company representative. We may have to change your access codes or take additional steps to prevent further access by such person.
Our system supporting our Digital Banking service is designed so that it may be operated only upon entry of valid access codes. Since we condition access upon entry of valid access codes, we will accept instructions for transfers or other transactions from any person using valid access codes.
This is so even if the person obtaining access:
- Is not a company representative.
- Exceeds your authority or that granted by any company representative.
- Does not have your authority.
- Has had his/her authority changed or revoked.
- Is an imposter or thief.
You agree to be bound by all transactions from any business account for which valid access codes were used. You authorize us to treat any instructions we receive using valid access codes as if the instructions had been made in writing and signed by the appropriate company representative. Unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary, our records will be conclusive regarding any access to, or action taken through, our Digital Banking service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we agree that you will not be responsible for transactions which occur after you have notified us to block the access codes that were used to perform the transaction, and we have had a reasonable opportunity to do so. Thus, the sooner you notify us of a problem, the better you can keep your losses down.
You agree to promptly examine all account statements and any confirmations of transfers which we or other financial Institutions may send or make available to you, and to promptly notify us of any discrepancy or error within 30 days of receipt of any such statement or confirmation.
LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH BUSINESS ACCOUNTS
We will make every reasonable effort to provide full performance of our Digital Banking system, and on a timely basis to resolve disputes that may arise. We will only be responsible for acting on instructions that we actually receive. We cannot assume responsibility for any malfunctions or capacity reductions or other problems in your equipment or in public communications networks not under our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of transactions you perform. Our only liability is to correct errors within our control. We are not responsible or liable to you for any loss, damage or injury caused by our Digital Banking system. Neither will we be liable for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect, or punitive loss or damage, including but not limited to dishonor of checks or other items or expenses which you may incur or suffer by reason of this agreement or the services we provide, whether or not the possibility or likelihood of such loss, damage, or expense is known to us.
