  7. BANKING FUNCTIONS

    You may use Online Banking to perform the following activities, which are limited to the extent, and subject to the terms, noted below:

    1. Transfer Funds. Your ability to transfer funds between certain Accounts is limited. Applicable Federal and State law limit transfers from Statement Savings and Money Market Deposit Accounts made through Online Banking. You may make up to a total of 6 pre-authorized, automatic or telephone transfers or payments per statement cycle from your Statement Savings or Money Market Accounts to other accounts or third parties. In the case of Money Market Accounts, no more than 3 of these 6 payments may be made by check or similar item. Transfers and payments from Savings and Money Market Accounts made through Online Banking are counted against the permissible number of transfers or payments. Funds can be transferred immediately between your Checking, Statement Savings and Statement Money Market Accounts. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from your Accounts for security reasons. Transfers initiated after 6:00 p.m. will be effective the next Business Day. Transfers via Online Banking are subject to Service availability.


    2. Account Information. The account information that you access will generally be current as of the end of the previous Business Day, unless another time is specified. Information is available for your Bank Account for up to the past 30 days.


    3. Electronic Mail. Because normal Internet e-mail transmissions may not be secure, you agree to contact us electronically only through Online Banking secure e-mail. You also agree to receive communications regarding your Account, including change-in-terms notices regarding Online Banking, electronically and will not attempt to circumvent receiving any messages. You are deemed to have received any electronic messages sent to you when they are made available to you. We will not immediately receive e-mail that you send. Therefore, you should not rely on e-mail if you need to communicate with us immediately (for example, if you need to report a lost or stolen Debit/ATM card or to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your Accounts). We will not take actions based on your e-mail requests until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. For inquiries involving personal or time sensitive information, you agree to contact us by telephone at 1-866-446-5500


  8. BILL PAYMENT FUNCTIONS



    1. Usage. You may use Online Banking to make payments from your designated South Coastal Bank Checking Account.


    2. Bill Payments. To pay bills using Online Banking, you must use your Computer to authorize a payment to a particular payee. Our Processor will make your payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee, or by sending the payee a paper check. You should allow 7-10 Business Days before the due date for the payee to receive your payment on all paper checks. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of payments from your accounts for security reasons. Please note that some payment transactions will be subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). Payments can only be made to payees with a United States address. We reserve the right to refuse to pay certain payees. You agree that when you enter your Online Banking Customer ID and password to transmit a payment instruction, you authorize us to debit the amount of the payment from your Bank Account accordingly.


    3. Recurring Payments. You may use Online Banking to authorize automatic recurring payments in order to pay recurring bills. These payments must be for the same amount each month and they will be paid on the same date each month, or on the following Business Day if the regular payment date falls on a weekend or holiday.


    4. Insufficient Funds. If there are insufficient funds in the Bank Account to make payment, we may either refuse to pay the item or we may make the payment and thereby overdraw the Bank Account. In either event, you are responsible for any non-sufficient funds ("NSF") or overdraft charges we may impose, as stated in the Account Disclosure. A block is automatically placed on your designated Bill Payment Account that had insufficient funds so that no further bill payment transactions can be completed until the non-sufficient item is resolved. We also reserve the right to refuse to honor payment requests that reasonably appear to us to be fraudulent or erroneous.


    5. Scheduling Payments. When using Online Banking, you should enter and transmit your bill payment instruction at least seven to ten (7-10) Business Days before a bill is due. It is your responsibility to authorize your payments in such a manner that your bills may be paid on time. You are responsible for any late payment or finance charges that may be imposed as a result of your failure to transmit payment instructions at least seven to ten (7-10) Business Days in advance of the bill due date.


    6. Canceling Payments. After payment requests are transmitted, you may cancel a payment if the cancellation request is transmitted to our Processor at least five (5) business Days before the payment is scheduled to be made. IF your cancellation request is not received at least five (5) business days before payment is to be made, you may be responsible for the payment.


    UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT STOP PAYMENT OF ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NOT EMPLOY ELECTRONIC ACCESS FOR PURCHASES OR SERVICES UNLESS YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO STOP PAYMENT.


  9. SECURITY PASSWORD

    For security reasons, you will be provided a password for accessing Online Banking. You agree to keep this password confidential to prevent unauthorized use of Online Banking and unauthorized access to your Account. As an additional safeguard, you should change your password frequently. If you forget your password, you must contact us to have a new temporary password issued to you. You should allow up to five (5) calendar days to receive this temporary password.


  10. CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY

    You are responsible for all transactions you authorize using Online Banking. If you permit other persons to use your Customer ID and password to perform transactions, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize from your Account.

    You should notify us immediately if you believe your Account has been accessed or your Customer ID and password has been used without your permission. Contacting us immediately will help you reduce possible losses. There may be other exceptions to your liability as stated in the Account Disclosure or provided for by law.


  11. BANK'S RESPONSIBILITY

    We are responsible for processing your instructions and requests. However, we will not be liable:

    1. If you do not have adequate funds in an Account to complete a transaction, or if that Account has been closed;


    2. If you have not properly followed the instructions on how to make a transfer or bill payment;


    3. If you have not given us complete, correct and current instructions so that we can make a transfer or bill payment;


    4. If you do not authorize a bill payment soon enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due;


    5. If we make a timely bill payment but the payee nevertheless does not credit your payment promptly after receipt;


    6. If a withdrawal from your Account has been prohibited by a court order such as garnishment or other legal process;


    7. If your Computer is not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted to authorize a transfer or bill payment;


    8. If the U.S. Postal service causes a delay; or


    9. If circumstances beyond our control prevent making a transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, telecommunication outages, postal strikes, delays caused by payees, fires and floods. This list is not all-inclusive. You should refer to your Account Disclosure for other exceptions to our liability.


  12. PERIODIC STATEMENTS

    We will mail or deliver to you periodic statements for your Account as provided in the Account Disclosures.

If you have a joint Bank Account, then any one of you is authorized to terminate the Online Banking service. We are not responsible for notifying any remaining account holders of the termination of Online Banking. If you terminate Online Banking, you authorize us to continue making transfers and bill payments you have previously authorized until such time as we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon your termination notice.
