Note: All references to the "Service" or “Services” referenced herein are services offered by Ultrimal Investment Bank, N.A., (Ultrimal Investment) through Fiserv Solutions, Inc., or “Fiserv”. Fiserv is an independent third party not affiliated with Ultrimal Investment. These Additional Online Banking Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “Agreement”) supplement, but do not take the place of, the Ultrimal Investment Online Banking Terms & Conditions and/or the Ultrimal Investment Business Online Banking Terms & Conditions (taken together and referred to as the “Terms & Conditions”).
This Agreement is a contract between you and Ultrimal Investment Bank, N.A. (hereinafter “Ultrimal Investment”, "we" or “us") in connection with each service offered through Fiserv and used by you, that is described in the rest of this Agreement (each, a "Service"). Each Service is offered through Ultrimal Investment Online Banking and/or Ultrimal Investment Business Online Banking and is governed by those Terms & Conditions as well as the general terms below, and the terms which are specific to a particular Service.
GENERAL TERMS
1. Service Providers. We are offering you the Service through Fiserv (the term “Service Providers” to include Fiserv), but we will remain solely liable to you for any payments or transfers, or other liabilities in connection with the Service. You agree that we have the right to delegate to Service Providers all of the rights and performance obligations that we have under this Agreement, and that the Service Providers will be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and will be entitled to all the rights and protections that this Agreement provides to us. Terms not defined within the body of the Agreement will be defined in the applicable "Definitions" Section at the end of the general terms stated below or at the end of each Service.
2. Amendments. We may amend or modify this Agreement and any applicable fees and charges for each Service at any time by posting a revised version on ultrimal.com or other internet site as determined by Ultrimal Investment (the “Site”). The revised version will be effective at the time it is posted unless a delayed effective date is expressly stated in the revision. Any use of the Service after a notice of change or after the posting of a revised version of this Agreement on the Site will constitute your agreement to such changes and revised versions. We may also, from time to time, revise, update, upgrade or enhance the Service and/or related applications or material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to provide only the most current version of the Service, or to terminate this Agreement in its entirety or in part (i.e. as to all such prior versions of the Service, and/or related applications and material).
3. Assignment. You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement at any time to any party. We may also assign or delegate certain of our rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent contractors or other third parties.
4. Notices to You. You agree that we may provide notice to you by posting it on the Site, sending you an in-product message within the Service, emailing it to an email address provided by you, mailing it to any postal address we have on file, or by sending such notice as a text message to any mobile phone number that you have provided us, including but not limited to the mobile phone number that you have listed in your Service setup or customer profile. For example, users of the Service may receive certain notices (such as notices of processed Payment Instructions, alerts for validation and notices of receipt of payments) as text messages on their mobile phones. All notices by any of these methods shall be deemed received by you no later than twenty-four (24) hours after they are sent or posted, except for notice by postal mail, which shall be deemed received by you no later than three (3) “Business Days” (Monday through Fridays which Ultrimal Investment is open to the public) after it is mailed.

By providing us with a telephone number (including a wireless/cellular, mobile telephone number and/or email address), you consent to receiving calls from us and our Service Providers at that number and/or emails from us for our everyday business purposes (including identify verification). You acknowledge and agree that such telephone calls include, but are not limited to, live telephone calls, prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system from us or our affiliates and agents. You further consent to receiving text messages from us at that number, and/or emails from us for marketing purposes in connection with the Service and consistent with our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information.
6. Receipts and Transaction History. You may view your transaction history by logging into the Service and looking at your transaction history. You agree to review your transactions by this method instead of receiving receipts by mail.

8. Privacy of Others. If you receive information about another person through the Service, you agree to keep the information confidential and only use it only in connection with the Service.

10. Acceptable Use. You agree that you are independently responsible for complying with all applicable laws in all of your activities related to your use of the Service, regardless of the purpose of the use, and for all communications you send through the Service. We and our Service Providers have the right but not the obligation to monitor and remove communications content that we find in our sole discretion to be objectionable in any way. In addition, you are prohibited from using the Service for communications or activities that: (a) violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation; (b) promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime; (c) defame, abuse, harass or threaten others; (d) include any language or images that are bigoted, hateful, racially offensive, vulgar, obscene, indecent or discourteous; (e) infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any jurisdiction; (f) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (g) facilitate any viruses, trojan horses, worms or other computer programming routines that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or information; (h) constitute use of any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Service or the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered without our prior written permission; (i) constitute use of any device, software or routine to bypass technology protecting the Site or Service, or interfere or attempt to interfere, with the Site or the Service; or (j) may cause us or our Service Providers to lose any of the services from our internet service providers, payment processors, or other vendors. We encourage you to provide notice to us of any violations of this Agreement generally.
11. Payment Methods and Amounts. Ultrimal Investment, in its sole discretion, sets default daily and monthly limits on the amount of money (or, as applicable in some cases, gift card value) you can send or receive through our Service (view our Popmoney default limits). However, Ultrimal Investment may increase these default limits and how they are applied, in its sole discretion. Additionally, Ultrimal Investment, in its sole discretion, may increase the daily and monthly limits on each customer. This may be done either upon your request or based upon our review of your history of usage and our assessment of your future needs. We will notify you if we increase or decrease your individual limits above or below the default limits noted above. We also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf through the Service, and in the event that your Eligible Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us, the method to return funds to you. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic or paper check or draft payment.
12. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.
13. Failed or Returned Payment Instructions. In using the Service, you are requesting us to attempt to make payments for you from your Eligible Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the Payment Instruction for any reason associated with your Eligible Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the payment), the Payment Instruction may or may not be completed. In certain circumstances, we will attempt to debit the Eligible Transaction Account a second time to complete the Payment Instruction. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us. In each such case, you agree that:
14. Address or Banking Changes. It is your sole responsibility and you agree to ensure that the contact information in your user profile is current and accurate.

We are not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Eligible Transaction Account, Payment Instructions or contact information.
15. Information Authorization. Your enrollment in the applicable Service may not be fulfilled if we cannot verify your identity or other necessary information. Through your enrollment in or use of each Service, you agree that we reserve the right to request a review of your credit rating at our own expense through an authorized bureau. In addition, and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, you agree that we reserve the right to obtain personal information about you, including without limitation, financial information and transaction history regarding your Eligible Transaction Account. You further understand and agree that we reserve the right to use personal information about you for our and our Service Providers’ everyday business purposes, such as to maintain your ability to access the Service, to authenticate you when you log in, to send you information about the Service, to perform fraud screening, to verify your identity, to determine your transaction limits, to perform collections, to comply with laws, regulations, court orders and lawful instructions from government agencies, to protect the personal safety of subscribers or the public, to defend claims, to resolve disputes, to troubleshoot problems, to enforce this Agreement, to protect our rights and property, and to customize, measure, and improve the Service and the content and layout of the Site. Additionally, we and our Service Providers may use your information for risk management purposes and may use, store and disclose your information acquired in connection with this Agreement as permitted by law, including (without limitation) any use to effect, administer or enforce a transaction or to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims or other liability. We and our Service Providers shall have the right to retain such data even after termination or expiration of this Agreement for risk management, regulatory compliance, or audit reasons, and as permitted by applicable law for everyday business purposes. In addition we and our Service Providers may use, store and disclose such information acquired in connection with the Service in statistical form for pattern recognition, modeling, enhancement and improvement, system analysis and to analyze the performance of the Service.
16. Service Termination, Cancellation, or Suspension. You may terminate or cancel the Service at any time by visiting ultrimal.com, calling +1 929 459 2119 or by visiting your local Ultrimal Investment branch. Any payment(s) that have begun processing before the requested cancellation date will be processed by us. You agree that we may terminate or suspend your use of the Service at any time and for any reason or no reason. Neither termination, cancellation nor suspension shall affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement.
17. Electronic Funds Transfer Disclosure The following information is to be read as an addendum to the E.F.T.S. disclosure you received with your debit card or ATM card or when you opened your deposit account. Any transfers you complete using your User ID and Password or other identification verification credentials (hereafter included in the word “Password”) combination over the online banking web site are subject to this disclosure (including transfers using Ultrimal Investment Mobile or the Service). You should treat your User ID and Password as you would treat a debit card or ATM card and PIN combination.
Your rights and responsibilities as a consumer who uses Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) services are defined by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693, et seq.) and Regulation E of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. One of the requirements of this Act and the Regulation is that all financial institutions must make certain disclosures to EFT users.
Tell us at once if you believe your 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 overdraft line of credit, if you have one. If you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Password without your permission.
If you do not tell us within 2 business days after you have learned 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.
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 delivered 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred money from your account without your permission, call +1 929 459 2119 or write to:
Ultrimal Investment Bank, NA
Customer Service
295 Ultrimal Investment Circle
For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
You may use your online banking User Name and Password to transfer funds between your savings and checking accounts, make transfers to and from your home equity line of credit, and to make payments to third parties if you have enrolled in the Service.
There are limits on the frequency and dollar amount of transfers using your User ID and Password, as follows:
We may charge for certain types of transfers, as shown in our or the bill pay fee schedule.
You can get a receipt of the transfers you make at the time you make them or from online banking once they are completed. Confirmation will appear electronically at the completion of the transfer. You may wish to download and print it from your computer for future reference. You will receive a monthly statement showing any transfers and payments you make, unless you make no transfers in any month. In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly.
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:
There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
Call the telephone number or write to the address shown below as soon as you can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or 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 you the first statement on which the problem or error appeared.
If you tell us orally, we will require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
In most cases we will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time in such cases, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do that, we will recredit your account within 10 business days 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, however, your complaint or question involves a transfer that was initiated outside the United States (including territories and possessions), the period within which we will tell you the results of our investigation is 10 business days after we hear from you or, at our option, 90 days thereafter, if we recredit your account within the 10 business day period. We will ask you to put your complaint or question in writing. If we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not recredit your account.
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.

This may include links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement.

In addition, if applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
24. No Waiver. Ultrimal Investment and/or its Service Providers shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives.

IN PARTICULAR, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF OUR SERVICE, AND OPERATION OF OUR SITE MAY BE INTERFERED WITH BY NUMEROUS FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.

27. Definitions.
1. Description of Service. The term “Popmoney Terms” means these Popmoney Payments Service Additional Terms. "Popmoney" is a trademark of CashEdge Inc. or its Affiliates. The Popmoney Service (for purposes of these Popmoney Terms, and the forgoing terms as it applies to these Popmoney Terms, the "Service") enables you: (1) to initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account to an account at a U.S. financial institution; and/or (2) to receive a payment from another person into an Eligible Transaction Account, in U.S. dollars (or in gift card value, if applicable). Although the ACH Network is often used to execute Popmoney Service Payment Instructions for the Popmoney Service, other Payment Networks may be used to facilitate the execution and transmission of Payment Instructions. All payments must be made through the Site and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Receipt of payments may be made through the Site and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. In some instances, receipt of payments may be made through www.Popmoney.com (the "Popmoney Website") and if you choose to initiate or receive a payment at the Popmoney Website you acknowledge and agree that you shall be subject to the terms of other agreements, including, but not limited to, the "terms of use" for the Popmoney Website and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time.
2. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance.
3. Initiation of Payment Instructions. You may initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately, (b) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (c) a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers are processed in two ways. You can provide all the required information about the Receiver, including his/her Eligible Transaction Account, necessary to complete a transfer of funds. Alternatively, you can provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number) and the Popmoney Service may contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that we may validate the identity of the Receiver at the Popmoney Website and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a "Two-Step Transfer"). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with an institution that participates in or offers the Popmoney Service, the Receiver may access the Popmoney Service at his or her financial institution’s website or mobile application to complete the Payment Instruction and receive the payment.
You understand and agree that when you initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account using the Popmoney Service, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. If you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day following the specified date. In addition, in the case of all Two-Step Transfers, the deposit of the payment funds into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account (even if debited or withdrawn from your Eligible Transaction Account), or receipt of a gift card, if applicable, may be delayed if the Receiver has not provided the Popmoney Service with certain required information such as his or her Eligible Transaction Account information, or, in the case of a gift card, if applicable, a valid U.S. street address for gift cards that are physically delivered. The Site may contain additional information regarding the delivery of a payment to an Eligible Transaction Account or the delivery of a gift card, if applicable.
You acknowledge and agree that we will begin to process the requested transfer of funds once the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information, and you hereby authorize and direct us to retain such funds until the earlier of such time as the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information or ten (10) Business Days. You further acknowledge and agree that our receipt of money to be transmitted to a Receiver shall not be deemed to have occurred and our obligation to complete a Payment Instruction shall not begin until such time as the Receiver provides us with (or we otherwise obtain) all required information necessary to process the related Payment Instruction in accordance with this Agreement. Any cancellation of a Payment Instruction prior to the Receiver providing us with such information shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Popmoney Terms, below.
4. Receiving Payments. If another person wants to initiate a Payment Instruction (including in response to a Popmoney Request, if applicable) using the Popmoney Service to an Eligible Transaction Account you hold or, as applicable, if you as a Requestor want to initiate a Popmoney Request, he, she or you can do that from the Site or from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Popmoney Service or at the Popmoney Website. Or, as applicable, if another person wants to send you a gift card using the Service, he or she can do that from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Service and makes available the purchase of gift cards through the Service.
You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account. You authorize the Sender, the financial institution which holds the Sender's Eligible Transaction Account and us (including through the Site) to send emails to you and text messages to your mobile phone in connection with the Sender's initiation of Payment Instructions to you, and, as a Receiver, you may also receive gift cards or Popmoney Requests, each as applicable, from others through the Service.
You acknowledge and agree that in the event that funds are transferred into your Eligible Transaction Account as a result of a Payment Instruction and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the sender, because there were not sufficient funds in the sender's account, or for any other reason, then you hereby authorize us or our Service Provider to withdraw from your Eligible Transaction Account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you.
If applicable, if you as a Requestor initiate a Popmoney Request using the Service you acknowledge and agree that as disclosed on the Site (a) the applicable service fee will be deducted from payments received by you from a Sender(s), and (b) no service fee will be charged if you as the Requestor do not receive any payments from the individuals to whom the Popmoney Request is sent. Further details about the foregoing can be found on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that individuals to whom you send a Popmoney Request may not receive, or otherwise may reject or ignore, your Popmoney Request. We do not guarantee that you will receive any payments from individuals by initiating a Popmoney Request.
5. Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments. Sender may cancel the initiation of a Payment Instruction or stop a Payment Instruction at any time until the processing of the Payment Instruction into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun. Our ability to stop a Payment Instruction or recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction will depend on the manner in which the Payment Instruction was initiated, and whether the Payment Instruction to the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun processing. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a stop payment request and to recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We will require you to present your stop payment request or request to recover funds in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting +1 929 459 2119. If we charge you to stop the payment or recover funds, then the charge for each stop payment or fund recovery request will be the current charge as set out in our current fee schedule. Payments not claimed by a Receiver will be automatically cancelled ten (10) days after the processing of the payment begins. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver’s decision to accept or not to accept a Payment Instruction initiated or attempted through the Service. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied payment to your Eligible Transaction Account or use other reasonable efforts to return such payment to you as permitted by law.
6. Mobile Phone Users. Your phone service provider is not the provider of the Service. Users of the Service will receive text messages relating to their Payment Instructions and other notices from time to time if a mobile phone number is provided. Data and messaging charges from your telecommunications provider may apply, and you are responsible for any such charges. In the event your enrolled mobile device is lost or stolen, you agree to update your enrollment information and make the appropriate changes to disable the use of such device. You understand that there are risks associated with using a mobile device, and that in the event of theft or loss, your confidential information could be compromised. If you have questions about mobile service, you may send a text message with the word "HELP" to this number: 767666. To stop receiving text messages on your mobile phone, text "STOP" to this number: 767666.
7. Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INSTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO OUR FAULT, except for those fees that are specifically use-based, such as Request Money, if applicable. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Eligible Transaction Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts (or Other Eligible Transaction Accounts) will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. The Failed or Returned Payment Instructions section above applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Service, including without limitation if we debit the Eligible Transaction Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the Eligible Transaction Account.
8. Refused Payments. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Receiver. We will attempt to notify the Sender promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Receiver designated by the Sender. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment under this Agreement.
9. Returned Payments. In using the Service, you understand that Receivers may reject Payment Instructions or otherwise return payments. We will use reasonable efforts to complete Payment Instructions initiated through the Service.
