FUNDS AVAILABILITY DISCLOSURE

This policy statement applies to demand accounts.

Our policy is to make funds from your 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 they are available, you can withdraw the funds 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Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, accept Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 2:00 P.M. 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 2:00 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.


LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY

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 fifth business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposit will be available on the first business day after we receive 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 the 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 day after we receive your deposit.

If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

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 communications or computer 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 eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.

CHARGES FOR ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS
We do not charge for direct deposits to any type of account. Except as indicated elsewhere, we do not charge for electronic fund transfers.

RIGHT TO DOCUMENTATION
Terminal Transfers: You can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using one of our automated teller machines or point of sale terminals.

Direct Deposits: If you have arranged to have dire ct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at (402) 528-3223 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made. If the only possible transfers to or from your account are direct deposits, you will get a quarterly statement from us.

Periodic Statements: You will get a monthly account statement from us for your checking or money market accounts. For passbook savings accounts, if the only possible electronic transfer to or from your account are preauthorized deposits, we do not send periodic statements. You may bring your passbook to us and we will record any electronic deposits that were made since the last time you brought in your passbook.

STOP PAYMENT PROCEDURES AND NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS

Right to Stop Payment and Procedures for Doing So: If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how:
Call us or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure in time for us to receive your 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. We will charge you $15.00 for each stop-payment order you give.

  • Notice of varying amounts: If these regular 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.)
  • Liability for failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer: If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

OUR LIABILITY

Liability for Failure to Make Transfers: If we do not complete a transfer to or from your 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.

DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

  1. Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
  2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
  3. In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  4. If you give us your written permission.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
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 account (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 card and/or code without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code 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 periods.
If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen or 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 brochure.

ERROR RESOLUTION
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed below, 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 ten (10) business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days (five (5) business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction processed by VISA and twenty (20) business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and 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 ten (10) business days (five (5) business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and twenty (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 ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account.  Your account is considered a new account for the first thirty (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 (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.

SPECIAL VISA® RULES
Your VISA® Check Card is so secure that we have reduced your potential liability for unauthorized transfers accomplished with your card.

Limits on Liability For Your VISA® Check Card When Used for Point-of-Sale Transactions:
Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen VISA®-branded card, when used for point-of-sale transactions, if you report the loss or theft of your card within 2 business days of when you discover the loss or theft of the card. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days, your liability is the lesser of $50 or the amount of money, property, labor or services obtained by the unauthorized use before notification to us.

Special Error Resolution Procedures For Your VISA® Check Card When Used for Point-of-Sale Transactions:
In case of errors or questions about point-of-sale transactions using your VISA®-branded card, call or write us at the address listed below. We will tell you the results of our investigation within 5 business days (20 business days for a foreign-initiated transfer) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 90 days (if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 5 business days (20 business days for a foreign-initiated transfer) 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.
