FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage

The more you know, the safer your money.

The FDIC - short for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - is an independent agency of the United States government. FDIC coverage protects you against the loss of your deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

All FDIC-insured banks must meet high standards for financial strength and stability. The FDIC, with other federal and state regulatory agencies, regularly reviews the operations of insured banks to ensure these standards are met.

The FDIC insures all deposits, including checking, NOW and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs), up to the insurance limit.

On July 21, 2010, the deposit insurance coverage for all deposit accounts was permanently raised to $250,000 per depositor, per insured depository institution for each account ownership category. Insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts, which include all IRA deposit accounts, was increased permanently to $250,000 per depositor in 2006.

The FDIC does not insure the money you invest in stocks, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, or municipal securities, even if you purchased these products from an insured bank. The basic insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor per insured bank

Funds Availability Disclosure

Your Ability to Withdraw Funds

This policy statement applies to transaction accounts only.

Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available you can withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds you are still responsible for the checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

Determining the Availability of a Deposit

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 4:30 p.m. at the Main Branch located in Big Timber, Montana, or at the Continental Branch in Harlowton, Montana on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. If you make a deposit after 4:30 p.m. at the Main Branch located in Big Timber, Montana, or at the Continental Branch in Harlowton, Montana or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Deposits made via Mobile Banking

Deposits made via Mobile Banking are subject to review. Depending on the time of day and day of the week, Mobile Deposits may be pending review until the next business day. After review, the availability of deposits made using Mobile Banking shall be determined as set forth in the Bank’s Funds Availability Disclosure. Citizens Bank & Trust Co. reserves the right to use Case-by-Case and Exception Holds as necessary.

Deposits confirmed no later than 4:30 p.m. MST on a business day will be credited to your account within 24 hours of receipt. Deposits made after the daily cut-off time (currently 4:30 p.m. MST) or deposits confirmed received on holidays or days that are not business days shall be deemed as received by us the following business day and will show in your account after posting that night unless rejected during Deposit Review. This means that a deposit that is made after the cut-off time or on non-business days shall show as pending review, be scheduled to post the next business day and will not show in your account history for two business days.

If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in one of your accounts. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, 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.

Longer Delays May Apply

Case-by-Case Delays – in some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. The first $200 of your deposits, however, may be made available on the first business day.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, after we receive your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.

If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

Safeguard Exception Delays –In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as 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.

Special Rules for New Accounts

If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day’s total deposits of 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 your 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 $5,000 will be available on the ninth 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 $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the
day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

Electronic Transfer Agreement & Disclosure

Your Rights & 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.

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 card(s) 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 all jurisdictions in which the cardholder may be located.

  1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  2. If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the credit limit.
  3. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
  4. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

  3. in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  4. as described in our privacy policy disclosure, provided separately.

Unauthorized Transfers

(a) Consumer liability. (1) Generally. Tell us AT ONCE 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 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 card. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions, or to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed by VISA.

(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 the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure. You should also call the number or write to the address listed in this disclosure if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

Error Resolution Notice

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, Call or Write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, 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.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. 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. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before the account is opened.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Mobile Remote Deposit offered by Citizens Bank & Trust Co. is designed to allow consumer customer users to make deposits of checks (“original checks”) to their accounts from home or other remote locations by scanning the original checks and delivering the digital images and associated deposit information (“images”) to Citizens Bank & Trust Co. with your Mobile Device. The use of this Service is subject to terms set forth herein under this Consumer Mobile Remote Deposit Service Agreement.

FEES

No charge for this service.

CHECK PROCESSING AND REQUIREMENTS

Any image of a check that you transmit must accurately and legibly provide all the information on the front and back of the check at the time presented to you by the drawer. The original check will be transmitted accurately and legibly and will provide the following information: (1) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is pre-printed on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signature(s); and (2) Payee information placed on the check by the drawer that is in the same name of the account holder(s). 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.

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. In addition you agree that you will not modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the technology or Service, copy or reproduce all or any part of the technology or Service; or interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the technology or Service. Citizens Bank & Trust Co. and our technology partners, inclusive of, but not limited to, Fiserv Inc, retain all rights, title and interest in and to the Services, Software and Development made available to you.

MOBILE REMOTE DEPOSIT SECURITY

You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your mobile device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You agree to notify Citizens Bank & Trust Co. immediately by telephone at (406) 932-5311 and with written confirmation if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of original checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction. If warranted in the Citizens Bank & Trust Co.’s reasonable judgment, we may audit and monitor you, and you agree to cooperate with us to permit such monitoring, to confirm that you have satisfied your obligations under this Agreement.

REJECTION OF DEPOSIT

You understand Citizens Bank & Trust Co. reserves the right to reject any item for any reason, including but not limited to, rejection of a Substitute Check that was originally created by another financial institution, customer or any other person. You are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees due to an item being rejected.
Citizens Bank & Trust Co. may disregard any information written or printed on a check other than the signature of the drawer, the identification of the bank on which the check is drawn, the name of the payee, and the electronically encoded routing information on the check.

LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENCY AND DOLLAR AMOUNT

You understand and agree that you cannot exceed the limitations on frequency and dollar amounts of Mobile Deposits that are set forth by Citizens Bank and Trust Co. These maximum limits are subject to change at any time. The maximum deposit limits are:

  • “Per Deposit Limit”- $1,000
  • “Per Day Limit”- $2,500

For security purposes Citizens Bank & Trust Co. reserves the right to adjust limits per individual user as necessary.

If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, Citizens Bank & Trust Co. may reject your deposit. If Citizens Bank & Trust Co. permits you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.

DEPOSIT CUT-OFF TIME AND FUNDS AVAILABILITY

Deposits made via Mobile Banking are subject to review. Depending on the time of day and day of the week, Mobile Deposits may be pending review until the next business day. After review, the availability of deposits made using Mobile Banking shall be determined as set forth in the Bank’s Funds Availability Disclosure. Citizens Bank & Trust Co. reserves the right to use Case-by-Case and Exception Holds as necessary.

Deposits confirmed no later than 4:30 p.m. MST on a business day will be credited to your account within 24 hours of receipt. Deposits made after the daily cut-off time (currently 4:30 PM MST) or deposits confirmed received on holidays or days that are not business days, shall be deemed as received by us the following business day and will show in your account after posting that night unless rejected during Deposit Review. This means that a deposit that is made after the cut-off time or on non-business days shall show as pending review, be scheduled to post the next business day and will not show in your account history for two business days.

For consumer deposits, funds will be available as described by our Funds Availability Disclosure.

ITEMS RETURNED UNPAID

Any credit to your account for checks deposited using Mobile Remote Deposit is provisional. If original checks deposited through Mobile Remote Deposit are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawing bank or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank for any reason including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image or a duplication, you understand and agree that since you either still have the original item or you have already destroyed the item, only an image of the item can be returned to you in the form of a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. An original check will not be returned to you, but we may charge back the amount of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check.

Unless otherwise instructed by Citizens Bank & Trust Co., you will not redeposit the original check or image of the check if it has been charged back to you and you understand that your account will be charged the amount of the returned item along with a returned item fee.

You also agree to reimburse Citizens Bank & Trust Co. for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Citizens Bank & Trust Co. may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.

EMAIL ADDRESS

You agree to notify Citizens Bank & Trust Co. immediately if your email address changes as this is the email address where you will receive notification of the acceptance of mobile deposit item(s).

CUSTOMER’S WARRANTIES

You agree to use Mobile Banking for lawful purposes and in compliance with laws, statutes, regulations and ordinances pertaining to Mobile Banking and all laws relating to the banking transactions contemplated hereunder. You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each image of an original check that you transmit to Citizens Bank & Trust Co. utilizing the Mobile Capture program within Mobile Banking:

  1. You have the legal right to accept the check for deposit and negotiation;
  2. The images and information that you transmit is true, correct and accurate to the best of your knowledge and accurately represents all of the information on the front and back of the original check including (without limitation) all endorsements at the time of transmission;
  3. The original item has not been altered in any way;
  4. The item is of the type that is permitted to be deposited using Mobile Capture as set forth in this Agreement (See Unacceptable Deposits);
  5. The image is not a duplicate of any image or item previously deposited by any method;
  6. The original item will not be deposited in any account or transferred to any other party by any means;
  7. Citizens Bank & Trust Co. will not incur any loss or liability due to your transmission of an image using Mobile Capture rather than depositing the original check at a branch;
  8. The original item will be destroyed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
  9. You have complied with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable laws, regulations, additional rules, procedures or guidelines Citizens Bank & Trust Co. has supplied to you;
  10. You have not transmitted any virus, worm or data of any kind that will harm Citizens Bank & Trust Co.’s information or communication systems;
  11. You have not taken any action that would obscure, alter or impair the capture or transmission of information on the front or back of the check or that otherwise may prevent us or another institution from capturing or processing such information;
  12. You make all warranties that would otherwise apply to the check if it had been a paper item deposited with us in person;
  13. You make all encoding, transfer, presentment and other warranties that we (or any correspondent bank we use) are deemed to provide to others;
  14. You will ensure that no financial institution (depository, collecting, or payor), drawee, drawer or endorser with respect to a check processed by you, will receive presentment or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the check (including the Original Check or Substitute Check), a corresponding Electronic Item, and/or other paper or electronic representation of the check such that such person will be asked to make payment based on an item that it already has paid.

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. Upon our request, you will deliver to us within 10 business days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. During those 30 days, you will take appropriate security measures to ensure that: (i) the information contained on the check(s) is not disclosed, (ii) the checks will not be duplicated or scanned more than one time, and (iii) checks will not be deposited or negotiated in any other way or form. Promptly after such periods expire, the original check must be destroyed by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. Proper destruction of the check will ensure that the check is not mistakenly re-deposited and account information remains secure. You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid. You understand that you are responsible for any loss caused due to your failure to secure the original check(s).

STORING IMAGES ON MOBILE DEVICES

After you have completed your deposit, the images of the checks are not stored on your mobile device by the system. You agree that you will not use any other means to electronically store check images that you capture using your mobile device. You agree to promptly complete each deposit. In the event that you are unable to promptly complete your deposit, you agree to ensure that your mobile device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed, or to delete the associated images from the application.

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
  • get balance information about checking or savings
  • get withdrawal history about checking or savings
  • withdraw cash from checking or savings
  • get transaction history about checking or savings

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

VISA Check Card ATM transactions - types of transactions - You may access your account(s) by ATM at ATMs carrying the Cirrus or Accel/Exchange Network logo using your VISA Check Card and your personal identification number (PIN) (as applicable) to:

  • withdraw cash from checking or savings
  • transfer funds from checking or savings to checking or savings
  • get balance information about checking or savings
  • get withdrawal history about checking or savings
  • get transaction history about checking or savings

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

VISA Check Card point-of-sale transactions - types of transactions - You may access your checking account(s) using your VISA Check Card to do transactions that participating merchants will accept, including:

  • purchase goods in person, by phone, or online
  • pay for services in person, by phone, or online
  • get cash from a participating merchant or financial institution

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.

Pre-authorized 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, the person or company making the deposit will tell you every time they send us the money.

Pre-authorized Payments

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 is how:
Call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure in time for us to receive your request three 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.

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. (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.)

Liability for failure to stop payment of pre-authorized transfer - If you order us to stop one of these payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

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:

  2. If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the credit limit;
  3. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash;
  4. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer;
  5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken;
  6. The money in your account is subject to an uncollected funds hold, legal process or any other encumbrance or agreement restricting a transaction;
  7. Your Logon ID/Password has been entered incorrectly;

  11. There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

Confidentiality

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

  1. where it is necessary for completing transfers; 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; or
  5. as described in our privacy policy disclosure.

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.
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 Notice

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, Call or Write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, 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.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. 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. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before the account is opened.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

For purposes of this Agreement, each reference in the Agreement to Citizens Bank, “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Citizens Bank, and each reference to “you,” and “your” refers to each depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user for a deposit account, who is now or hereafter enrolled in any one or more of Citizens Bank online banking services with respect to a deposit account.

A. Acceptance of Citizens Bank Terms and Conditions

I may become eligible for the Service by submitting the Citizens Bank Enrollment Application (the “Enrollment Application”). By submitting the Enrollment Application and clicking “I Understand and Accept” as described above, or by initially accessing the Service, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You agree to use the Service solely for the services described in the Agreement and designated by you in the Enrollment Application, and solely in connection with each deposit account (collectively, the “Accounts”), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted by us from time to time. Under this Agreement, there may be multiple accounts. You may add additional Accounts for which you, or all of you if more than one, are depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user by notifying Citizens Bank in writing or by visiting any Citizens Bank office. If you close or delete the only checking account designated for Citizens Bank online banking, you will no longer be able to use the Service.

Throughout the Citizens Bank website, Citizens Bank will provide you with guidance and online instructions and messages. You agree to read and abide by such instructions and messages. Each time you use the Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions that may appear on your computer when you sign on to the Citizens Bank website or during your use of the Service. This Agreement will be effective as of the date we issue you a Logon ID and Password (the “Logon ID” and “Password”). Please read this Agreement carefully and print it by selecting the Printer icon on the Toolbar or selecting File, Print.

B. Definitions

The following definitions apply in this Agreement.
"Online Banking" is Citizens Bank Internet-based service providing access to your Online Account(s).

"Logon ID" is a series of letters selected by the bank as a code used in conjunction with the password to establish your connection to the Online Banking service.

"Password" is the series of 9 to 17 numbers and letters that you select as a code used in conjunction with the Logon ID to establish your connection to the Online Banking service. Your password can be alpha, numerical, or a combination of alpha and numerical.

"Online Account" means any Citizens Bank account from which you will be obtaining information or conducting transactions using the Online Banking service.

"Service" shall mean, individually or collectively, Citizens Bank Online Banking service and any other service offered under this agreement.

"Time of day" references are to Mountain or Mountain Daylight Time, as applicable.

"The Borrower," "we," "us," "the bank" or Citizens Bank refer to Citizens Bank & Trust Co. which provides the Service offered under this Agreement. Citizens Bank provides deposit account and loan services (including mortgages and home equity loans).

"Business Days" are Monday through Friday, except weekdays that Citizens Bank is not open for business.

"Firewall" is a router or an access server or several routers or several access servers designated as a buffer between any connected public network and a private network.

C. BROWSER SECURITY

Citizens Bank Internet Banking transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your bank and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator in the lower right corner of the screen can verify this. When using Google Chrome, the lock symbol appears "solid," when transmitted data is being encrypted. When this lock symbol appears "broken," a secure session has not been established. Similarly, Microsoft Edger has a lock symbol that appears when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure.

D. HOST SECURITY.

Citizens Bank web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through this firewall, which screens the requests and allows only valid https traffic to reach the server. Citizens Bank Internet Banking makes use of an ICSA-certified firewall.

E. Hours Of Operation

Business days for Citizens Bank are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. You may access the Service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except that Citizens Bank cannot guarantee that the Service will always be available during these times. Citizens Bank cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide notice of such interruptions and changes, although we will attempt to provide such notice. In addition, access to the Service is made available pursuant to a license agreement by and between Citizens Bank and Information Technology Inc. Any interruption of service or access caused by the Service Provider will also prevent your use of the Service or performance of the Service.

F. Secure Access to Site

Citizens Bank believes the safety and security of its customers’ accounts and account information is important. To ensure protection of your Accounts, you must access the Service via a personal computer with your Logon ID and Password. We will assign you a Logon ID and Password after we have accepted your Enrollment Application. When you first access the Service, you will be required to select a new Password. Your Logon ID must be at least 6 characters and your Password must be 6 to 15 characters consisting of alpha numerical or any combination of alpha numerical. You may change your Password from time to time, as provided in the software. We recommend that you not use your social security number, birthday, name, or other code that may be easy for others to determine as your Password. No Citizens Bank employee will ever ask you for your Password, nor should you provide it to anyone. YOU AGREE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD CONFIDENTIAL. USE OF THE PASSWORD BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON WITH YOUR AUTHORIZATION WILL BE CONSIDERED THE SAME AS YOUR WRITTEN SIGNATURE AUTHORIZING US TO COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION OR REQUEST COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE SERVICE. You agree that any Citizens Bank online banking request initiated by use of the Password will be subject to and governed by this Agreement. Thus, we urge you to maintain the safety and security of your Logon ID and Password.

If you authorize another person to use your Logon ID and Password, that person can use the Service to perform any of the functions that you may perform. For example, that person may view any information or initiate any transaction on any of your Accounts to which that person does not otherwise have access. We encourage you not to share your Logon ID and Password with other parties. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions initiated through the Service with your Logon ID and Password, up to the limits allowed by applicable law. In addition, if you allow another person or business to store your Logon ID and Password on their computer, the stored information may be at risk of unauthorized access from third parties. Citizens Bank has not authorized any outside company to request or use your Logon ID and Password for any purpose, on the Internet or otherwise.

Once you are finished with your online banking activity, you should properly exit the Service by clicking on Log Off. You also agree to never leave your computer unattended while accessing the Service. If you should, a third party may be able to access your Accounts from your terminal without ever needing to use your Logon ID and Password.

G. If Your Password Has Been Lost or Stolen.

If a third party should gain access to your Logon ID and Password, you alone are responsible for changing the Password to deny the third party’s access to your banking information. We also require that you keep a record of what information you shared, and as always, that you carefully monitor and review the activity in your Account.

If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen, immediately call the main branch of Citizens Bank at (406) 932-5311, or the Continental Branch of Citizens Bank at (406) 632-4373 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Contacting Citizens Bank via telephone is the best way of minimizing your losses. You may also restore the security of your Service by changing your Password. If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen and you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone uses your Password to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Password to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers had you told us prior to the end of the 2-day period, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the 60 day period if we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us prior to the end of the 60 day period.

All account information provided via the Service will be current as of the date and time that you Login.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we conduct this investigation, we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account.

We will tell you the results within 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. If a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to the Account was made, the applicable time periods for the action shall be 20 business days in place of 10 business days.

L. Settlement of Obligation

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize us to obtain payment of your obligations to us under this Agreement from time to time by (a) initiating debit or credit transfers to any of your Accounts or (b) deducting the payment from the amount of any bank transfer or loan payment. Such obligations include, without limitation; fees owed to us and settlement for bank transfers or loan payments initiated through the Service. If an Account is closed (whether by you, by us, or otherwise), you agree that all such obligations will be immediately due and payable to us, and you authorize us to withhold the amount of any such obligations from any Account. Debiting an account or deducting payment from the amount of any bank transfer or loan payment is not Citizens Bank exclusive remedy under this or any other Section of this Agreement, and Citizens Bank will not be deemed to have made an election of remedies by making any such debit or deduction on any one or more occasions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or claim arising out of delay or failure in the performance of any Citizens Bank online banking service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to those described in this Agreement, except with respect to any provisions of the law applying to electronic funds transfer that cannot be varied or waived by agreement. In no event will Citizens Bank be liable for any consequential, special, or punitive damages or for any indirect loss that you may incur or suffer in connection with the Service (even if Citizens Bank has been informed of the possibility of such damages), including, without limitation, attorneys fees. The Service Provider is an independent contractor and not a Citizens Bank agent. Citizens Bank sole duty shall be to exercise reasonable care in the initial selection of the Service Provider. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE BY Citizens Bank WITH RESPECT TO ANY Citizens Bank ONLINE BANKING SERVICE OR THE SOFTWARE, AND Citizens Bank HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES.

There may be other exceptions stated in this Agreement and in other agreements with you.

N. Rejection of Payment Orders; Overdrafts.

You acknowledge that Citizens Bank or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion, reject any bank transfer or loan payment request (any “Payment Order”) or return any bank transfer or loan payment. If a Payment Order is rejected or a bank transfer or loan payment is returned, either Citizens Bank or the Service Provider will notify you and you will have the sole obligation to retry the payment order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the software. Citizens Bank or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, execute any payment order or make any bank transfer or loan payment even though an overdraft to the account results.
