As used in this Agreement, the following words have the meanings given below.

• “We,” “our,” “us,” and “Bank” mean FirsTier Bank, the depository institution that holds one or more accounts accessed by the Service.
• “You” and “your” refer to the accountholder authorized by FirsTier Bank to use the System under this Agreement and anyone else authorized by that accountholder to exercise control over the accountholder’s funds through the System.
• “Account” or “accounts” means your accounts at FirsTier Bank.

FirsTier Bank account customers can register in person at any bank location or online, by selecting the “Accept” button at the end of this Agreement, indicating your acceptance to these terms and conditions. To register online, you must provide the following:

• One of your FirsTier Bank account numbers (Checking, Savings, Loan or CD)
• A security question and answer
• The last four digits of your SSN

User Code: You will be prompted to select a User Code during your first online session through our online registration process. Your User Code and Password identify and authenticate you to FirsTier Bank when you use Online Banking. User Code numbers may only be obtained by customers who have existing accounts with FirsTier Bank.

Your Password: For security purposes, you are required to establish your password upon your initial login to FirsTier Online Banking. You determine what User Code and password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated to us. You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under your password. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password and agree to change your password regularly. Upon three unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to the System will be revoked.

We recommend that you create a password using the following guidelines:

• Utilize both upper and lower case alpha and numeric characters for purposes of security.
• Your password must be 6 – 17 characters long containing at least 2 letters and 2 numbers.
• Your password should not be associated with any commonly known personal identification, such as social security numbers, address, date of birth, names of children, and should be memorized rather than written down.
• For example: From the sentence “I love to eat oreo cookies at night.” You can take the first letter of each word. (ilteocan) You can then revise this to something such as 1l2eoCan. You then have a password that you can remember that is very difficult to break by a hacker/cracker.

You can change your Password online at any time by selecting the Change Password option in our Options button. If necessary, passwords can also be reset by calling FirsTier Bank. However, any password changed by a customer service representative over the telephone will be “temporary” only and require you to change it at first use.

Your Responsibility:

You agree….

• Not to give out your identifying information such as your Online Banking Password to any other person. The Bank may rely on your User Code to identify you when providing banking services to you.
• Never to leave your account information displayed in an area accessible by others. Never to leave your PC unattended while using Online Banking.
• To always log out before exiting the System.
• To always notify FirsTier Bank immediately if you suspect that your User Code or Password has become known to any unauthorized person.

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through the System and you agree to promptly examine your paper statement for each of your FirsTier Bank accounts as soon as you receive it. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your personal identification information, such as your driver’s license number and social security number. You understand that personal identification information by itself, or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Your Password and User Code are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts. Data transferred via the System is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security and the System utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of the System transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to insure that the System is secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Bank System, or e-mail transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.

Product and Service Disclosure

We reserve the right to change the fees or other terms described in the Agreement at any time. This does not include any changes to your “Account Terms and Conditions” you received when opening your account. Changes in Account Terms will always be mailed to you at least 30 days in advance of the change. Any charges, fees or other terms changed that affect this Site will be posted at this Site.
NOTICE: All transactions conducted over Online Banking are considered by the federal government as electronic transfers and considered “third party transfers” and are limited in number per statement cycle (month) for certain accounts under the Federal Reserve Act (Reg D). Refer to the disclosure that details the transactions allowed under Regulation D that you were provided upon opening of a savings, money market or tiered interest account.

The following disclosure was provided to you upon opening a transaction (checking) account at FirsTier Bank. This is also disclosed here to help you clearly understand when your funds are available after deposits are made when setting up a Bill Payment.

Your Ability To Withdraw Funds At FirsTier Bank

This policy statement applies to “transaction” accounts. Transaction accounts, in general, are accounts which permit an unlimited number of payments to third persons and an unlimited number of telephone and pre-authorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us. Checking accounts are the most common transaction accounts. Feel free to ask us whether any of your other accounts might also be under this policy.

Our policy is to make funds from your cash or check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash, and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

Determining the Availability of a Deposit

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 3:00 p.m. (cutoff times may be later on some days or at some locations) 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 3:00 p.m. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

If you make a deposit before noon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday at FirsTier Bank ATM locations (cutoff times may be later on some days or at some locations) 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 at an ATM after noon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday at FirsTier Bank ATM locations or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Holds on Other Funds – If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in one of your accounts. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, 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 the account to which the deposit is made. The funds in the account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Reservation of Right to Hold – In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. The first $200 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day after we receive your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the first business day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

Longer Delays May Apply – In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

• We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
• You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
• You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
• You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
• There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment.

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 seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

FirsTier Bank Bill Pay Regulation E “Electronic Funds Transfer Act” Error Resolution Applicability:

The following Regulation “E” (Electronic Fund Transfer Act) disclosure was provided to you when you opened an account that may have electronic transactions conducted (e.g. ATM or Debit Card or Automatic Deposit). This disclosure is also provided in this Agreement to inform you how to contact us in the event you detect an error has occurred when viewing your account(s) transaction statements while viewing online through Online Banking.

Unauthorized Transfers

(a) Consumer liability. (1) Generally, tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your accounts (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. (If you believe your card and/or code 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 used your card and/or code without your permission.)

If you do NOT contact us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access your accounts 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 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time period.

(b) Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure.

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, 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. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

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 (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you. We will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have 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 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before the account is opened.

We will tell you the results within three 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.
