About This Agreement

This Online Banking Agreement and Disclosure (“the Agreement”) governs the use of PremierBank Online Banking service (“Online Banking”) offered by PremierBank (“The Bank”).

When you use any of the Online Banking services described in this Agreement, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your use of the Online Banking service does not change any other agreement you may already have with us. You should review those agreements for any applicable fees, for limitations on the number of transfers you can make, and for other restrictions which might impact the use of your account(s) with the Online Banking service.

You agree that we are entitled to act upon instructions received through the Online Banking service under your Password and without inquiring into the identity of the person using that Password. However, you agree that you will not, under any circumstances, disclose your Password by telephone or any other means to any person. You acknowledge that no person from the Bank will ever ask for your Password and Bank employees do not need and should not ask for you Password. You are liable for all transactions made by the authorized use of your Password and agree that, if you give your Password to anyone, you do so at your own risk since anyone with your Password will have access to your accounts.

Each person on a joint account agrees to be liable for the actions of the other person(s) on the account.

Limitations on Transfers and Payments

When you request a transfer between accounts or make a payment, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your designated account. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is available in your account at the time of withdrawal. If you do not have a sufficient balance, including available credit under any overdraft protection plan, we may either complete the transfer or payment – creating an overdraft – or refuse to complete the transfer or payment. In either case, we reserve the right to impose a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee.

2.  Preauthorized Credits.  If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can cell us at (920) 563-6616 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

Preauthorized Payments
1.  Right to stop payment and procedure 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:
     a.  Call us at (920) 563-6616 or write us at PremierBank, 70 North Main Street, Fort Atkinson, WI  53538, in time for us to receive your request 3 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 our regular fee for each stop-payment order you give.

2.  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.

Financial Institution's 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.

     4.  If you give us your written permission. 

Unauthorized Transfers
1.  Consumer Liability.  Tell us AT INCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. 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 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, 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 2 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 cards 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, including those made by card, code or other means, 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.
     a.  Visa Debit Cards.  Additional Limits on Liability for loss of theft.  Unless you have been negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen Visa card.  This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions outside of the U.S., to ATM transactions not sent over Visa or Plus networks, or to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed by Visa.  Visa is a registered trademark of Visa International Service Association.

2.  Contact in event of unauthorized transfer.  If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, call:  (920) 563-6616, or write:  PremierBank, 70 North Main Street, Fort Atkinson, WI  53538. 
You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

Error Resolution
In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, telephone us at (920) 563-6616 or write us at PremierBank, 70 North Main Street, Fort Atkinson, WI  53538 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.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will re-credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in the error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.
