FEES
No charge for this service.

Checks payable to a third party will not be accepted for deposit (i.e. any item that is made payable to someone who is not on the account and then endorsed over to you). If the check is payable to several account owners, without the use of the word “and”, then any account owner may endorse the check. If the check is payable with “and”, then all persons listed (payees) must endorse the check to be accepted for deposit. The image quality of the check must meet the standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. Endorsements must be made on the back of the check within 1 ½ inches from top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Your endorsement must include your signature and “For Mobile Remote Deposit”. Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

You are solely responsible for the quality, completeness, accuracy, validity and integrity of the image. You are solely responsible if you, intentionally or unintentionally, submit fraudulent, incorrect or illegible images to us.

STORAGE AND DESTRUCTION OF ORIGINAL CHECK
Once your check image has been accepted and credited to your account, you must securely store each original check you deposit using Mobile Capture for a period of thirty (30) days after transmission to Citizens Bank & Trust Co. and make the original check accessible to us at our request.

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS PROVISIONS
ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may not apply to your account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference.
Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By Third Parties - You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers between your account and the third party's account. These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and financial institution information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your financial institution and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers. Examples of these transfers include, but are not limited to:
- Pre-authorized credits - You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits to be accepted into your checking or savings.
- Pre-authorized payments - You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your checking or savings.
- Electronic check conversion - You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills.
- Electronic returned check charge - You may authorize a merchant or other payee to initiate an electronic funds transfer to collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds.
ATM card transactions - types of transactions - You may access your account(s) by ATM using your ATM card and your personal identification number (PIN) to:
- transfer funds from savings or checking to checking or savings

Some of these services may not be available at all terminals.

Currency Conversion and International Transactions - When you use your VISA(R) debit card at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, the charge will be converted into the US dollar amount. The currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in US dollars is either a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date.
Visa USA charges us a .8% International Service Assessment on all international transactions, regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. If there is a currency conversion, the International Service Assessment is 1% of the transaction. The fee we charge you for international transactions/currency conversions is disclosed separately. An international transaction is a transaction where the country of the merchant is outside the USA.
Advisory Against Illegal Use - You agree not to use your VISA Check Card for illegal gambling or other illegal purposes. Display of a payment card logo by, for example, an online merchant does not necessarily mean that transactions are lawful in the jurisdiction in which you may be located.

Unauthorized Transfers
(a) Consumer liability. (1) Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card, code, User ID, password or device 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 two 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 two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, 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 period.
(2) Additional Limit on Liability for VISA(R) card. 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 debit 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.) (b) Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, call or write us at call us at (406) 932-5311 or write us at P.O. Box 847, Big Timber, MT 59011.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question.
