This disclosure contains the rules which govern your deposit account. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used in this disclosure should be construed so that the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.
At any time we reserve the right to require not less than seven days’ notice in writing before any withdrawal from any interest-bearing account.
Please refer to our Interest Rate Sheet for the interest rate and annual percentage yield on your account. At our discretion, we may change the interest rate on your account. We may change the interest rate on your account at any time. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (for example, checks). We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
Please refer to the separate Fee Schedule provided to you with this disclosure for information about fees and charges associated with this account. A Fee Schedule will be provided to you at the time you open an account, periodically when fees or charges change, and upon request.

Certificate of Deposit
This is a time savings account designed to achieve higher earnings. You have a choice of various terms and maturity dates. The minimum balance to open an account is $1,000.00. For certificates with the Bump Up option, the interest rate and annual percentage yield (APY) may be changed once during the term of the certificate. Upon receipt of a written "bump up" request from you, we will adjust the interest rate and APY to the interest rate and APY then in effect for a certificate with the same as the original term of your CD. No new money may be added when exercising the Bump Up option. The new rate and APY will be in effect from the date of the change up to the date of maturity.
Interest will compound monthly and will be credited to your account monthly. The annual percentage yield assumes interest will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. If interest is credited to another account or paid to you by check, this may reduce earnings and may negate the effect of interest compounding. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will receive the accrued interest. You must maintain a minimum daily balance of $1,000.00 in the account each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield. You will earn interest for every day during the period that your account equals or exceeds the minimum daily balance requirement. You may not make deposits into your account until the maturity date. Your account will mature in the length of time selected at account opening.
We will impose a penalty if you withdraw any or all of the funds before the maturity date. The penalty imposed will be as follows:
- Certificates with terms up to 1 year – Earnings loss will equal 90 days interest.*
- Certificates with terms greater than 1 year up to and including 2 year Certificates – Earnings loss will equal 180 days interest.*
- Certificates greater than 2 years – Earnings loss will equal 270 days interest.*
*The penalty will be calculated based on the interest rate on the account at the time the funds are withdrawn.
If you close your account prior to the end of the cycle, interest will be earned up to the date of closing.
Interest credited during the term of the certificate can be withdrawn penalty free.
Withdrawal of interest prior to maturity – If any of the credited interest is withdrawn before the maturity date, the annual percentage yield will be reduced on the certificate.
Withdrawal of principal prior to maturity – If any of the principal is withdrawn before the maturity date, earnings loss (i.e. 90, 180, or 270 days of interest) could result in a loss of principal. If the remaining balance is above the minimum balance to open, the original terms of the certificate will apply.
Your account will automatically renew at maturity. You will have a grace period of 7 calendar days after the maturity date to withdraw the funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty.
Funds Availability Policy
This disclosure describes your ability to withdraw funds from your accounts at Ambler Savings Bank.
PURPOSE OF THIS DISCLOSURE. Our general policy is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in a transaction account on the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Our complete policy is summarized below.
For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you"/"your" refer to the customer and the terms "our"/"we"/"us" refer to Ambler Savings Bank.
Generally, transaction accounts are accounts which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check to third persons, and also an unlimited number of telephonic and preauthorized transfers to third persons or other accounts you may have with us.
DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. 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.
When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.
If you make a deposit before the close of business 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 the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.
AVAILABILITY SCHEDULE
Same Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit.
Next Day Availability. Funds from the following deposits are available on the first Business Day after the day of your deposit: (a) U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you; (b) wire transfers and (c) checks drawn on us.
In addition, if you make the following deposits in person to one of our employees, these deposits will also be available on the first Business Day after the day of your deposit: (a) cash; (b) state and local government checks that are payable to you; (c) Cashier's, Certified and Teller's checks that are payable to you; and (d) Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks and postal money orders, if these items are payable to you. If you do not make your deposit in person to one of our employees (for example, if you mail the deposit), funds from these deposits will be available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.
Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY. Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances: (a) if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid; (b) if you deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day; (c) if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid; (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the 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. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS FOR CHECK CASHING. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS IN ANOTHER ACCOUNT. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, 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 another account with us. The funds in the other 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.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS. If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account and checks drawn on us will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of U.S. Treasury checks, U.S. Postal Service money orders, cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,525 will be available on the 9th Business Day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525 will not be available until the second Business Day after the day of deposit.
Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth Business Day after the day of deposit.
DEPOSITS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES. Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate.

GENERAL AGREEMENT. You understand the following Account Agreement ("Agreement") governs your account with us. Your account is also governed by other applicable documents, such as the Truth In Savings Account Disclosure and Privacy Policy, and where applicable, the Funds Availability Policy and Electronic Fund Transfer (Agreement and) Disclosure ("Disclosures"), which are incorporated by reference. By providing a written or electronic signature on the Account Information document or other agreement to open your account, or by using any of our deposit account services, you and any identified account owners agree to the terms contained in this Account Agreement.
GENERAL RULES. The following rules apply to all types of accounts: 1. Deposits. Deposits may be made in person, by mail, or in another form and manner as agreed by us in our sole discretion. We are not responsible for transactions mailed until we actually receive and record them. We may, at our sole discretion, refuse to accept particular items as deposits. Cash deposits are credited to your account according to this Agreement. Other items you deposit are handled by us according to our usual collection practices. If an item you deposit is returned unpaid, we will debit your account and adjust any interest earned. You are liable to us for the amount of any item you deposit to your account that is returned unpaid. In addition, you are liable to us for all costs and expenses related to the collection of any or all of that amount from you. Funds deposited to your account are available in accordance with the Disclosures. 2. Collection of Deposited Items. In receiving items for deposit or collection, we act only as your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. All items are credited subject to final settlement in cash or credits. We shall have the right to forward items to correspondents including all Federal Reserve Banks, and we shall not be liable for default or neglect of said correspondents for loss in transit, nor shall any correspondent be liable except for its own negligence. You specifically authorize us or our correspondents to utilize Federal Reserve Banks to handle such items in accordance with provisions of Regulation J (12 CFR Part 210), as revised or amended from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board. In the event we are subject to local clearinghouse rules, you specifically authorize us to handle such items in accordance with the rules and regulations of the clearinghouse. If we permit you to withdraw funds from your account before final settlement has been made for any deposited item, and final settlement is not made, we have the right to charge your account or obtain a refund from you. In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights. Except as may be attributable to our lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, we will not be liable for dishonor resulting from any reversal of credit, return of deposited items or for any damages resulting from any of those actions. 3. Set-offs and Security Interest. If you ever owe us money as a borrower, guarantor, or otherwise, and it becomes due, we have the right under the law (called "set-off") and under this Agreement (by which you grant us security interest in your deposit account and any other accounts held by you) to use your account funds to pay the debt, where permitted by law. If your account is held jointly, that is, if there is more than one account owner, we may offset funds for the debt of any one of the joint owners. Similarly, we may also set-off funds from the individual accounts of any one of the joint owners to satisfy obligations or debts in the joint account. The security interest granted by this Agreement is consensual and is in addition to our right to set-off. 4. Claims. In response to any garnishment, attachment, restraining order, injunction, levy, citation to discover assets, judgment, reclamation, other order of court or other legal process ("Claim(s)"), we have the right to place a hold on, remove from your account(s) and/or remit to the designated third-party(ies) any amount on deposit in your account(s) as set forth in and required by such Claim(s). If the account(s) is/are held jointly, we may place the hold, remove from the account(s) and/or remit the amounts from the account(s) arising from any Claim(s) relating to any one or more of the account holders. In addition, we may charge against your account(s) any fee authorized by law in connection with the Claim(s) or as otherwise set forth in the Disclosures. 5. Expenses. You agree to be liable to us for any loss, costs or expenses that we incur as a result of any dispute involving your account, including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law, and you authorize us to deduct such loss, costs or expenses from your account without prior notice to you. This obligation includes disputes between yourself and us involving the account and situations where we become involved in disputes between you and an authorized signer, another joint owner, or a third-party claiming an interest in the account. It also includes situations where you, an authorized signer, another joint owner, or a third-party takes action with respect to the account that causes us, in good faith, to seek the advice of counsel, whether or not we actually become involved in a dispute. 6. Dormant/Inactive Accounts. You understand that if your account is dormant or inactive, you may be charged the fee specified in the Disclosures and we may stop paying interest to the extent permitted by law. You understand that your account balance may be escheated (that is, turned over to the state) in accordance with state law. 7. Joint, Trust, Fiduciary and Custodial Accounts. You acknowledge that if your account is set up as a joint, trust, fiduciary or custodial account, it is your sole responsibility to determine the legal effects of opening and maintaining an account of this nature. 8. Individual Account. The named party in an individual account owns the account and may withdraw all or some of the account. On the death of the party, ownership passes as part of the party's estate. If we are uncertain of who should receive a payment under this Agreement or if we have actual knowledge of a dispute between you and any other person claiming an interest in the account, we may refuse to make a payment to you. If we do so, we will notify you and all other persons claiming an interest in writing for the basis of our refusal, and we may continue to refuse the payment until we receive consent from all interested parties or we make a payment pursuant to a court order. We will not be liable if we refuse to make a payment to you from your account. 9. Joint Account. If this is a joint account, all deposits are the property of the person(s) indicated on the account and we may release all or any part of the amount in the account to honor checks, orders, or other items or withdrawals or requests from any person named on this account. Any person named on the account is liable for the amount of any overdraft fees regardless of whether he or she signed the item or benefited from the proceeds of the item. Upon receiving written notice from any person named on the account, we may freeze the account. The account may be frozen until we receive written notice, signed by all parties named in the account, as to the disposition of funds. We may use the funds to satisfy a debt or judgment of any person named on this account if ordered to do so by a court of law. 10. Joint Account With/Without Right of Survivorship. If this is a joint account with right of survivorship, on the death of one of the account holders, that person's interest in the account immediately vests in the surviving joint account holder(s) as their separate property. If this is a joint account without right of survivorship and we receive written notice of the death of a joint account holder, we may freeze the account until we receive satisfactory evidence as to the disposition of the account. 11. In Trust For or Payable on Death Account. If this account is noted as an In Trust For or Payable on Death account, the trustee(s) may change the named beneficiary(ies) at any time by a written direction to us. The trustee(s) reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the deposit at any time. Such payment or withdrawal shall constitute a revocation of the trust agreement as to the amount withdrawn. The beneficiary(ies) acquires the right to withdraw only if: (i) all of the trustees die, and (ii) the beneficiary is then living. The beneficiary(ies) is only entitled to the amount that is in the trust after all of the trustee's(s') outstanding debits and items have been paid. If all of the beneficiaries predecease the trustee(s), the named beneficiary's(ies') death shall terminate the trust and title to the money that is credited to the trust shall vest in the trustee(s). If two or more beneficiaries are named and survive the death of all of the trustees, such beneficiaries will own this account in equal shares without right of survivorship, unless otherwise indicated. If the primary beneficiary predeceases the owner(s), when two or more contingent beneficiaries are named and survive the death of the owner(s), such beneficiaries will own this account in equal shares without the right of survivorship, unless otherwise indicated. Named beneficiaries are assumed to be primary unless indicated as contingent. 12. Custodial Account. A custodial account is subject to applicable law as adopted by the state in which the account is opened. The documents that authorize the custodianship may be required for the account. An account opened under the Uniform Transfers/Gifts to Minors Act must be opened in the name of a custodian "as custodian for (name of minor) under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act". There may be only one custodian and one minor as beneficiary for each minor account. 13. Authorized Signer (Agent) Designation. If you designate an agent, your named agent may make account transactions for you but has no ownership or rights at death unless named as a Payable on Death beneficiary or named as an In Trust For beneficiary, if applicable. If you have designated that the agent shall continue to have power after your disability or incapacity, the agent's authority survives your disability or incapacity. The agent may act for a disabled or incapacitated party until the authority of the agent is terminated. If you have noted that the agent shall not have power after your disability or incapacity, the agent's authority terminates upon your disability or incapacity. If you failed to specify whether or not the agent's authority survives or instead terminates upon your disability or incapacity, the authority will be presumed to survive your disability or incapacity. Death of the sole party or last surviving party terminates the authority of the agent. We may continue to rely on the agency designation to the extent permitted by law, until we have proper notice of an event of termination and have had a reasonable period of time to act upon it. 14. Power of Attorney. If you wish to name another person to act as your attorney in fact or agent in connection with your account, we must approve the form of appointment. 15. Payment of Interest. For interest bearing accounts, interest will be calculated and paid in accordance with the Disclosures provided to you at the time you opened the account. 16. Fees, Service Charges and Balance Requirements. You agree you are responsible for any fees, charges, balance, or deposit requirements as stated in the Disclosures. We also reserve the right to impose a service charge for cashing checks and other items drawn on your account if the person cashing the check or item is not a customer of this financial institution. 17. Non-Sufficient Funds and Overdrafts. If your account lacks sufficient funds to pay a debit transaction or item presented for payment as determined by your available account balance or actual (ledger) balance, we may (1) return the debit or item or (2) pay the debit or item at our discretion.
Available Balance. We use an available balance method to determine if there are sufficient funds in your account to pay a debit transaction or item and to assess non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees. How We Decide to Pay a Debit or Item. The available balance reflects deposits and transactions that have been posted to your account and transactions that have not posted to your account, including the following: checks you have written, if applicable; deposit holds; and holds on debit card transactions that have been authorized but not yet posted (i.e., preauthorization holds). These pending transactions and holds reduce your available balance. For example, you have $100 in your account and a pending transaction of $30. Your available balance is $70 because the pending $30 transaction reduces your available account balance. How We Assess Fees. If there are insufficient funds to pay a debit transaction or item based on your available balance, we may either: 1) return the debit or item or 2) pay the debit or item at our discretion. We may charge you fees if we return the debit or item or pay the debit or item on your behalf.
Return Item for Non-Sufficient Funds. If we do not pay the debit or item on your behalf and return the debit or item, we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. Pursuant to National Automated Clearing House Association ("Nacha") Operating Rules and Guidelines and other applicable laws, a debit or item may be presented for payment more than one time. We may charge you non-sufficient funds fees for each resubmission or re-presentation of a debit or item, which means you may incur multiple non-sufficient funds fees if a debit or item is returned more than one time. For example, you write a check from your account with us. The check is returned for non-sufficient funds, and we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. The same check is then re-presented to us for payment, and the check is returned again for non-sufficient funds. We may charge you non-sufficient funds fees the second time the check is presented for payment and returned for non-sufficient funds.
Overdrafts. If we pay the debit or item on your behalf, you will be responsible for the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees. As discussed above, subsequent pending transactions and holds impact your available balance, which may cause your account to become overdrawn and subject to overdraft fees. For example, you have $100in your account. You use your debit card at a gas station and a preauthorization hold of $60 is placed on your account because the amount of the transaction is not known at the time of authorization even though your gas was only $50. The authorization hold reduces your available account balance to $40. You then spend $50 on groceries. If we pay this debit on your behalf, you will be responsible for paying the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees.
Actual (Ledger) Balance. We use an actual (ledger) balance method to determine if there are sufficient funds in your account to pay a debit transaction or item and to assess non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees. How We Decide to Pay a Debit or Item. The actual (ledger) balance method calculates your account balance only based on transactions that have settled, and it does not reflect pending transactions or checks, if applicable, that have not posted to your account. For example, you have $100 in your account and a pending transaction of $30. Your actual (ledger) balance is $100 because the pending $30 transaction does not reduce your actual (ledger) account balance until it posts to your account. How We Assess Fees. If there are insufficient funds to pay a debit transaction or item based on your actual (ledger) balance, we may either: 1) return the debit or item or 2) pay the debit or item at our discretion. We may charge you fees if we return the debit or item or pay the debit or item on your behalf.
Return Item for Non-Sufficient Funds. If we do not pay the debit or item on your behalf and return the debit or item, we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. Pursuant to Nacha Operating Rules and Guidelines and other applicable laws, a debit or item may be presented for payment more than one time. We may charge you non-sufficient funds fees for each resubmission or re-presentation of a debit or item, which means you may incur multiple non-sufficient funds fees if a debit or item is returned more than one time. For example, you write a check from your account with us. The check is returned for non-sufficient funds, and we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. The same check is then re-presented to us for payment, and the check is returned again for non-sufficient funds. We may charge you nonsufficient funds fees the second time the check is presented for payment and returned for non-sufficient funds.
Overdrafts. If we pay the debit or item on your behalf, you will be responsible for the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees. We use an available balance to determine if we pay a debit or item and we use an actual (ledger) balance to assess fees. If this is the case, the applicable rules described above will apply.
If applicable, overdrafts may be covered by our standard overdraft practice that comes with your account or an overdraft protection plan, such as a link to an account or a line of credit. As part of our offered standard overdraft practice, we do not authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM or everyday debit card transactions unless you request us to do so. Please refer to the Overdraft Services Consent Form for more information about overdrafts and our standard overdraft policies, if applicable, and refer to your Truth In Savings disclosure for more information about our overdraft privilege policy.
18. Processing Order. We will process debit and credit transactions in accordance with our processing order policy. The processing order of these debits and credits is important because if your account balance has insufficient funds to pay for the debits and credits in the order that they are processed, we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees if we return the debit or charge you overdraft fees if we pay the debit on your behalf. 19. Amendments and Alterations. You agree that the terms and conditions governing your account may be amended by us from time to time. We will notify you of amendments as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the account evidences your agreement to any amendments. Notices will be sent to the most recent address shown on the account records. Only one notice will be given in the case of joint account holders. 20. Notices. You are responsible for notifying us of any address or name changes, the death of an account holder or other information affecting your account. Notices must be in a form and manner acceptable to us with enough information to allow us to identify the account. Notice sent by you to us is not effective until we have received it and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Written notice sent by us to you is effective when mailed to the last address supplied. 21. Certified Beneficial Owner Information. If you are obligated to certify beneficial owner information at the time the account is opened, you are responsible for notifying us of any changes to the certified beneficial ownership information that was provided to us. Notice should be made to us as soon as practical upon a change to the beneficial ownership information in a form and manner acceptable to us. 22. Unlawful Internet Gambling. Restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account with us as required by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and Regulation GG. A restricted transaction is a transaction or transmittal involving any credit, funds, instrument, or proceeds in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. You will notify us if your business practices regarding Internet gambling change in the future. 23. Telephone and Electronic Communication. You agree that we may call or send text messages to you at the telephone numbers that you provide to us, including a cell phone number, which may result in charges to you, for informational purposes regarding your account(s) with us. These calls and text messages may be made from an automatic telephone dialing system (i.e., an auto dialer) or from an artificial or prerecorded voice message system. Additionally, you agree that we may send electronic communication to you at the email addresses you provide to us. You may contact us at any time if you no longer want to receive these communications from us. You also agree that we may monitor and record telephone and electronic communications that affect your account(s) with us to the extent permitted by law. We need not provide further notice to you or receive additional approval. 24. Online or Mobile Services. If you open an account or obtain a product or service from us using our online or mobile services, we may record your personal information from a scan or a copy of your driver's license or other personal identification card, or we may receive an image or make a copy of your driver's license or other personal identification card. We may store or retain this information to the extent permitted by law. 25. Closing Account. We may close the account at any time, with or without cause, after sending you notice if advance notice is required by law. If applicable, a notice may be sent to you that specifies when the account will be closed. At our discretion, we have the authority to pay an otherwise properly payable item, which is presented after the closing of your account. Such termination will not release you from any fees or other obligations incurred before the termination. We will send a check for the balance in our possession to which you are entitled. 26. Transfers and Assignments. We may assign or transfer any or all of our interest in this account. You cannot assign or transfer any interest in your account unless we agree in writing. 27. Applicable Laws and Regulations. You understand that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the state in which the account is opened unless federal law controls. Changes in these laws may change the terms and conditions of your account. We will notify you of any changes as required by law. If any of the terms of this Agreement come into conflict with the applicable law and are declared to be invalid or unenforceable, those terms will be nullified to the extent that they are inconsistent with the law and the applicable law will govern. However, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. 28. ACH and Wire Transfers. This Agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code - Funds Transfers as adopted by the state in which the account is opened. If you send or receive a wire transfer, you agree that Fedwire® Funds Service may be used. Federal Reserve Board Regulation J is the law that covers transactions made over Fedwire® Funds Service. When you originate a funds transfer for which Fedwire® Funds Service is used, and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named. If you are a party to an Automated Clearing House ("ACH") entry, you agree that we may transmit an entry through the ACH, and you agree to be bound by the Nacha Operating Rules and Guidelines, the rules of any local ACH, and the rules of any other systems through which the entry is made. Provisional Payment. Credit we give you is provisional until we receive final settlement for that entry. If we do not receive final settlement, you agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with the entry, and the party making payment to you via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry. Notice of Receipt. We will not provide you with notice of our receipt of the order, unless we are so requested by the transfer originator in the order. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements we provide to you. Choice of Law. We may accept on your behalf payments to your account which have been transmitted, that are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state where we are located. International ACH Transactions. If your transaction originates from a financial agency that is outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, it may be subject to additional review for compliance with the rules of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If additional review is required, the International ACH transaction will not be available to you until it passes final verification. 29. Real-Time Payments. We may offer real-time payment services for you to send or receive certain payments or payment-related messages through a real-time payments system. Real-time payments are credit transfers that enable you to send and receive funds with near immediacy twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and fifty-two (52) weeks a year. These transfers are subject to transaction value limits (e.g., $100,000) and settlement is final and irrevocable. Real-time payments are intended for domestic payments only. Payments sent or received by a person outside of the United States are prohibited. Transfers using a real-time payments system are subject to the applicable operating or governing rules of the real-time payments system used, as well as the Uniform Commercial Code 4A in effect in the state in which we are located, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E), and the rules of OFAC. 30. Stop Payments. Stop Payments on Checks. If you request us to stop payment on a check you have written, you will give written or other confirmation as allowed by us within 14 days of making the request. If you fail to confirm an oral stop payment request within the 14 days, unless our policy provides otherwise, we reserve the right to cancel the request. Your stop payment request must describe the check or account with reasonable certainty and we must receive the request in a time and way that gives us a reasonable opportunity to act on it. A stop payment on a check you have written will remain in effect until the earlier of 1) six months or other time period not less than six months as specified in the Stop Payment Order, or 2) until we receive written revocation of the stop payment. If the check on which a Stop Payment Order has been placed has not yet cleared or been returned to you by the payee, you may renew the Stop Payment Order for an additional six months by providing a request to us in a record or writing within the time period the Stop Payment Order is in effect. Our acceptance of a stop payment request does not constitute a representation by us that the check has not already been paid or that we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on the request. We may accept a stop payment request on lost or stolen checks, whether a single check or series, unless our policy requires we open a new account for you to ensure your security. Written communication includes communication by electronic record. Stop Payments on ACH Debits. A Stop Payment Order may be placed on either a one-time debit transfer or on a multiple debit entry transfer. If you request a Stop Payment Order on an Electronic Check Conversion or other one-time debit transfer, we must receive the request, orally or in a record or writing, in a period of time that provides us a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to acting on the debit entry, otherwise the Stop Payment Order shall be of no effect. If you requested a stop payment on a multiple or future debit entry transfer, we must receive the Stop Payment Order, orally or in a record or writing, at least three business days before a scheduled debit entry. Requests to stop all future payments on an ACH debit transfer may require additional documentation to be supplied to us. Oral stop payment orders are binding on us for 14 calendar days only, unless our policy provides otherwise, and must be confirmed by you in a record or writing within that period. A Stop Payment Order on an ACH debit will remain in effect until the earlier of 1) your withdrawal of the Stop Payment Order, or 2) the return of the debit entry, or, where a Stop Payment Order is applied to more than one debit entry under a specific authorization involving a specific payee (Originator), the return of all such debits. When a stop is placed on a multiple or future debit entry transfer, we may require your confirmation in a record or writing stating that you have canceled your authorization for the transfer with the payee (a Stop Payment Order does not revoke authorization). Written communication includes communication by electronic record. The Stop Payment Order shall be governed by the provisions of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted by the state in which the account is opened, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E), Nacha Operating Rules, and any applicable state law. You may be charged a fee every time you request a Stop Payment Order and for each Stop Payment Order renewal you make. You understand that we may accept the stop payment request from any of the joint owners of the account regardless of who signed the check or authorized the transfer. A release of the Stop Payment Order may be made only by the person who initiated the stop payment request. 31. Checks. All negotiable paper ("checks") presented for deposit must be in a format that can be processed and we may refuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement. All endorsements on the reverse side of any check deposited into your account, or on any check issued by you, must be placed on the left side of the check when looking at it from the front, and must be placed so as to not go beyond an area located 1-1/2 inches from the left edge of the check when looking at it from the front. It is your responsibility to ensure that this requirement is met. You are responsible for any loss incurred by us for failure of an endorsement to meet this requirement. 32. Electronic Checks and Electronically-Created Items. Pursuant to Regulation CC, electronic checks may be treated the same as paper checks for check collection and processing purposes. See the Substitute Checks section for more information. Electronically-created items ("ECI") are check-like items created in electronic form that never existed in paper form. For example, you set up automatic bill payments with us to pay your utility bill. From your account information, we create an ECI that is sent to your utility company for payment. An ECI cannot be used to create a substitute check since it never existed in paper form. 33. Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute check(s). An electronic check can be used to create a substitute check since the electronic image and electronic information was derived from its paper form. 34. Remote Deposit Capture. Remote deposit capture ("RDC") allows you to make deposits to your account from remote locations by electronically transmitting digital images of your original paper checks, which are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions in United States dollars to us. We may then use the digital image to create an electronic check or substitute check for collection. If you use our RDC services, if applicable, we may require you to endorse the back of the paper check to indicate that it has been remotely deposited. For example, "for mobile deposit only." 35. Preauthorized Checks or Drafts. You should guard information about your account (such as your routing number and your account number) as carefully as you would guard blank checks. If you voluntarily give such information about your account to a party which is seeking to sell you goods or services, without physically delivering a check to it, any debit to or withdrawal from your account it initiates will be deemed authorized by you. 36. Stale or Postdated Checks. We reserve the right to pay or dishonor a check more than 6 months old without prior notice to you. If you can write checks on your account, you agree not to postdate any check drawn on the account. If you do and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may pay it or return it unpaid. We are not liable for paying any stale or postdated check. Any damages you incur that we may be liable for are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check. 37. Verifying Funds Availability for Check. You authorize us to release funds availability information about your account to individuals or merchants who represent to us that they have received a check or other item from you. 38. Check Safekeeping. If you can write checks on your account and utilize check safekeeping or any other system offered by us for the retention of your checks, you understand that the canceled checks will be retained by us and destroyed after a reasonable time period or as required by law. If for any reason we cannot provide you with a copy of a check, our liability will be limited to the lesser of the face amount of the check or the actual damages sustained by you. When you request a copy of a check it may be subject to a fee as defined in the Disclosures. 39. Remotely Created Checks. A remotely created check, as defined in Regulation CC, means a check that is not created by the paying bank and that does not bear a signature applied, or purported to be applied, by the person on whose account the check is drawn. By having a deposit account with us, you certify that all remotely created checks deposited to your account(s) will be expressly and verifiably authorized by the payor. And we reserve the rights to refuse for deposit any such remotely created check if we have any reason to believe that the item is fraudulent in any manner, and to obtain from you the payor's express, verifiable authorization for any such check. 40. Statements. If your account is a Checking, NOW, Money Market, or Statement Savings account, we will provide you with a periodic statement showing the account activity. The last address you supply us in writing will be deemed the proper address for mailing this statement to you. The account holder who receives this statement is the agent for his/her co-account holder(s) for purposes of receiving the statement and items. You must exercise reasonable care in reviewing your statement and reasonable promptness in notifying us of any discrepancies, such as alterations or forged or unauthorized signatures, even if by the same wrongdoer. You must notify us within 30 days after we mail or otherwise make the statement available to you of any discrepancies, except for transfers governed by the Wire Transfer Agreement. If you fail to notify us with reasonable promptness, you will have no claim against us to the extent permitted by law. Additionally, you agree that we will not be liable for discrepancies reported to us after one year after we mail or otherwise make the statement or items available to you, even if we failed to exercise reasonable care. However, if the discrepancy is the result of an electronic fund transfer, the provisions of our Disclosures will control its resolution. If you do not receive a statement from us because you have failed to claim it, or have supplied us with an incorrect address, we may stop sending your statements until you specifically make written request that we resume sending your statements and you supply us with a proper address. 41. Electronic Statements and Notices. You may have the option to have statements and notices regarding this account provided to you in an electronic form, including to a designated e-mail address, through an online banking portal, or other electronic method, upon your authorization. The authorization may be withdrawn at any time to return to a mailed paper form by providing written notice to us at the address provided. The fees for receiving in either form, and for receiving paper copies, are described in your Disclosures. In order to receive your account information in an electronic form, the receiving system may have to meet specific requirements. We will keep you informed of any change to the minimum hardware or software requirements. 42. Signatures. Your signature on the Account Information form is your authorized signature. You authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, orders, or other items for the payment of money, that are drawn on us regardless of by whom or by what means (including facsimile signature(s)) may have been affixed so long as they resemble the signature specimen in our files. For withdrawal and for other purposes relating to any account you have with us, we are authorized to recognize your signature; and we will not be liable to you for refusing to honor signed instruments or instructions if we believe in good faith that one or more of the signatures appearing on the instrument or instruction is not genuine. If your items are signed using any facsimile signature or non-manual form of signature, you acknowledge that it is solely for your benefit and convenience. You agree that no facsimile signature you have authorized us to honor may be considered a forgery or an unauthorized signature, and that every authorized facsimile signature shall be effective as the signatory's own original, manual signature. You accept sole responsibility for maintaining security over any device affixing the signature as such signature will be effective regardless of whether the person affixing it was authorized to do so. Your authorization notwithstanding, we are not obligated to accept or pay any items bearing facsimile signatures. Further, most checks, drafts, orders, or other items are processed automatically, i.e., without individual review of each item. Therefore, unless we agree in a separate writing, in our sole discretion, upon your request and due to unique circumstances to conduct individual review of checks, drafts, orders, or other items for more than one signer, you agree that we are acting within common and reasonable banking practices by automatically processing these items. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against all loss, costs, damage, liability, and other injury (including reasonable attorney fees) that you or we may suffer or incur as a result of this practice. 43. Restrictive Legends. We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in a writing signed by an officer of the financial institution. Examples of restrictive legends are "two signatures required", "must be presented within 90 days" or "not valid for more than $1,000.00." 44. Our Waiver of Rights. You understand and agree that no delay or failure on our part to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to us under this Agreement shall affect or preclude our future exercise of that right, remedy, power or privilege. 45. Your Waiver of Notice. By signing the signature card/Account Information form, you waive any notice of non-payment, dishonor or protest regarding any items credited to or charged against your deposit account to the extent permitted by law. For example, if a check that you deposited is dishonored and returned to us, we are not required to notify you of the dishonor. 46. Death or Incompetency. Neither your death nor a legal adjudication of incompetence revokes our authority to accept, pay, or collect items until we know of the fact of death or of an adjudication of incompetence and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. To the extent permitted by law, even with knowledge, we may for 10 days after the date of death, pay checks drawn on or before the date of death unless ordered to stop payment by a person claiming an interest in the account. ACCOUNT SPECIFIC PROVISIONS. In addition to the General Rules, the following rules apply to specific types of accounts: CHECKING AND NOW ACCOUNTS
Checking Accounts. If your account is a checking account, it will be either non-interest bearing or interest bearing as defined in the Truth in Savings Disclosure.
Withdrawals. Deposits will be available for withdrawal consistent with the terms of our Disclosures. Withdrawals may be subject to a service charge. Withdrawal Notice Requirements. If your account is a NOW account or a non-demand deposit checking account, we have the right to require seven (7) days prior written notice from you of your intent to withdraw any funds from your account.
MONEY MARKET AND SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
Withdrawals. We have the right to require seven (7) days prior written notice from you of your intent to withdraw any funds from your account. Withdrawals may be subject to a service charge.
Transaction Limitations. Our policy allows us to restrict the number of transfers or withdrawals you can make on a Money Market Account and Savings Account, or we may allow you to make an unlimited number of transfers or withdrawals from these accounts.
Restrictions on Money Market and Savings Accounts. If we restrict the number of transfers or withdrawals you can make on these accounts, you understand that we will not allow more transfers or withdrawals than the maximum number specified in the Disclosures, and we may close your account, take away your ability to transfer funds, charge you a fee, or convert the account to a checking or other transaction account if the restriction is violated.
No Restrictions on Money Market and Savings Accounts. If we do not restrict the number of transfers or withdrawals you can make on these accounts, your account may still be subject to other transaction limitations. Please refer to the Disclosures to understand which transaction limitations, if any, apply to your account.
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
Passbooks. If your account is a passbook account and you wish to make a withdrawal without your passbook, we can refuse to allow the withdrawal. If your passbook is lost or stolen, you will immediately notify us in writing.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT/TIME DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
Account Terms. The Certificate bears interest at the rate and basis as set forth on the Certificate. The terms of the Certificate, such as the interest rate(s), Annual Percentage Yield ("APY"), length of term period, renewability, and date of maturity are specified on the Certificate and in the Disclosures provided to you at the time of account opening. Interest will not be compounded unless noted and will be paid to you at the frequency and in the method noted. If interest compounds during the term of the Certificate and may be withdrawn prior to maturity, the withdrawal of interest prior to maturity will affect the APY.
Withdrawal Prior To Maturity. You have contracted to keep the account funds on deposit from the issue date until the maturity date. We may accept a request by you for withdrawal of some or all of the account funds prior to the maturity date at our discretion or as otherwise described in the Disclosures.
Additional Deposits During The Term. No additional deposits will be allowed to this account during its term unless otherwise described in the Disclosures.
Early Withdrawal Penalty. Unless provided otherwise in the Disclosures, we will assess an early withdrawal penalty on any withdrawal, either partial or in whole, that we allow you to make from your account prior to the account's maturity date. The method for determining that penalty is described in the Disclosures.
Renewal. Automatic Renewal Certificates will renew automatically on the stated maturity date of its term. Such renewal will be for a time period equal or similar to the original term and subject to these terms and conditions. Interest for that renewal term will be paid at the interest rate then in effect at this financial institution for similar accounts. If you close the Certificate within the grace period following the maturity date, we will not charge an early withdrawal penalty for that withdrawal. The grace period following a maturity date is described in the Disclosures.
Single Maturity. Single Maturity Certificates will not automatically renew at maturity. The Disclosures describe our policy concerning the account's status following the maturity date. To ensure a continuation of interest earning, you must arrange for a new investment of the account balance.

Currently the currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International to determine the transaction amount in US dollars for such transactions is based on rates observed in the wholesale market or government-mandated rates, where applicable. The currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International is generally the rate of the applicable currency on the date that the transaction occurred.

RIGHT TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR TRANSFERS.
TRANSACTION RECEIPTS. Depending on the location of an ATM, you may not be given the option to receive a receipt if your transaction is $15.00 or less. Upon completing a transaction of more than $15.00, you will receive a printed receipt documenting the transaction (unless you choose not to get a paper receipt). These receipts (or the transaction number given in place of the paper receipt) should be retained to verify that a transaction was performed. A receipt will be provided for any transaction of more than $15.00 made with your Debit Card at a Participating Merchant. If the transaction is $15.00 or less, the Participating Merchant is not required to provide a receipt.
PERIODIC STATEMENTS. If your account is subject to receiving a monthly statement, all EFT transactions will be reported on it.

In order to assist us in maintaining the security of your account and the terminals, the Debit Card remains our property and may be revoked or canceled at any time without giving you prior notice. You agree not to use your Debit Card for a transaction that would cause your account balance to go below zero, or to access an account that is no longer available or lacks sufficient funds to complete the transaction, including any available line of credit. We will not be required to complete any such transaction, but if we do, we may, at our sole discretion, charge or credit the transaction to another account; you agree to pay us the amount of the improper withdrawal or transfer upon request.
Certain transactions involving your Debit Card require use of your personal code. Your personal code is used to identify you as an authorized user. Because the personal code is used for identification purposes, you agree to notify Ambler Savings Bank immediately if your Debit Card is lost or if the secrecy of your personal code is compromised. You also agree not to reveal your personal code to any person not authorized by you to use your Debit Card or to write your personal code on your Debit Card or on any other item kept with your Debit Card. We have the right to refuse a transaction on your account when your Debit Card or personal code has been reported lost or stolen or when we reasonably believe there is unusual activity on your account.
The security of your account depends upon your maintaining possession of your Debit Card and the secrecy of your personal code. You may change your personal code if you feel that the secrecy of your personal code has been compromised. You may change your personal code at our ATM, via the telephone, or when we issue you a new Debit Card. RIGHTS REGARDING PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS.
RIGHTS AND PROCEDURES TO STOP PAYMENTS. If you have instructed us to make regular reauthorized transfers out of your account, you may stop any of the payments.
To stop a payment, call us at: 215.646.8400
or write to:
Ambler Savings Bank 155 E. Butler Avenue PO Box 210 Ambler, PA 19002-0210
We must receive your call or written request at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled payment. If you call, please have the following information ready: your account number, the date the transfer is to take place, to whom the transfer is being made and the amount of the scheduled transfer. If you call, we may require you to put your request in writing and deliver it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call.
NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS. If you have arranged for automatic periodic payments to be deducted from your checking or savings account and these payments vary in amount, you will be notified by the person or company ten (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.
OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO STOP PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFER PAYMENTS. If you order us to stop one of the payments and have provided us with the information we need at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled transfer, and we do not stop the transfer, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY US OF LOSS OR THEFT. If you believe your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access code has been lost or stolen,
call us at: 215.646.8400 (Monday through Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm ET)
or write to:
Ambler Savings Bank 155 E. Butler Avenue PO Box 210 Ambler, PA 19002-0210
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. CONSUMER LIABILITY. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access 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 applicable). If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access code you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50) if someone used your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access code without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access code and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Debit Card or personal code or internet banking access code without your permission if you had given us notice, you can lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500). Also, if your statement shows transfers you did not make, including those made by card, code, or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was transmitted to you, you may not receive back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days, and therefore, you may not get back any money in your account, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you given us notice in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps you from giving the notice, we will extend the time periods. ILLEGAL USE OF MASTERCARD® DEBIT CARD. You agree not to use your MasterCard® debit card for any illegal transactions, including internet gambling and similar activities. IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TRANSACTIONS. In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund transfers,
call us at: 215.646.8400 or write to:
Ambler Savings Bank 155 E. Butler Avenue PO Box 210 Ambler, PA 19002-0210 or
email us at: webinfo@amblersavingsbank.com or
use the current information on your most recent account statement.
Notification should be made as soon as possible if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. You must contact Ambler Savings Bank no later than 60 days after we sent you the first statement on which the problem or error appears. You must be prepared to provide the following information: • Your name and account number. • A description of the error or transaction you are unsure about along with an explanation as to why you believe it is an error or why you need more information. • The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you provide oral notice, you may be required to send in your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days for new accounts) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days (ninety (90) days for new accounts and foreign initiated or Point of Sale transfers) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days for new accounts) for the amount which you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes 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. The extended time periods for new accounts apply to all electronic fund transfers that occur within the first thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account is made, including those for foreign initiated or Point of Sale transactions. 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. LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTION. 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 as provided by law. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:
• If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer. • If the transfer would result in your exceeding the credit limit on your line of credit, if you have one. • If the electronic terminal was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown before you started the transfer. • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood, computer or machine breakdown, or failure or interruption of communications facilities) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken. • If we have terminated our Agreement with you. • When your Debit Card has been reported lost or stolen or we have reason to believe that something is wrong with a transaction. • If we receive inaccurate or incomplete information needed to complete a transaction. • In the case of preauthorized transfers, we will not be liable where there is a breakdown of the system which would normally handle the transfer. • If the funds in the account are subject to legal action preventing a transfer to or from your account. • If the electronic terminal does not have enough cash to complete the transaction.
There may be other exceptions provided by applicable law.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. You agree that merchant authorization messages transmitted in connection with Point of Sale transactions are permissible disclosures of account information, and you further agree to release Ambler Savings Bank and hold it harmless from any liability arising out of the transmission of these messages.
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or electronic fund transfers made to your account:
1. Where necessary to complete a transfer or to investigate and resolve errors involving the transfer(s); or 2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party such as a credit bureau or merchant; or 3. In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or 4. If you give us your permission in a record or writing.
AMENDING OR TERMINATING THE AGREEMENT. We may change this agreement from time to time. You will be notified at least 30 days before a change will take effect if it will cause you an increase in costs or liability or it will limit your ability to make electronic fund transfers. No notice will be given if the change is necessary for security reasons. We also have the right to terminate this agreement at any time.
