MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Mobile Deposit Service Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions for the mobile deposit capture services that Ukrainian Selfreliance Federal Credit Union (“UKRFCU”) may provide to you.  The words “we,” “us,” “our” and “Credit union” mean UKRFCU.  The words “you” or “your” mean each and all those who use the mobile deposit services.  The word “account” means any one or more Share Draft (“checking’) deposit accounts you have with the Credit Union. Your Membership and Account Agreement is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.  In the event of a discrepancy between this Agreement and the Membership and Account Agreement, this Agreement will control.

Services.  The mobile deposit services (“Mobile Deposit”) are designed to allow you to make deposits of checks (“original checks”) to your accounts from your Mobile device by electronically transmitting a digital image of the original checks (“images”) to us or our designated processor.  Original checks are converted to “substitute checks” as such term is defined in the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act and Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC, for deposit with the Credit Union and for processing and presentment to a collecting or paying financial institution.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “substitute check” (as defined in Regulation CC) is a check reproduction of an original check that:

  • Contains an image of the front and back of the original check;
  • Bears a MICR line that contains all the information appearing on the MICR line of the original check at the time the original check was issued and any additional information that was encoded on the original check’s MICR line before an image of the original check was captured;
  • Conforms in paper stock, dimension, and otherwise with ANSI X9.100-140; and
  • Is suitable for automated processing in the same manner as the original check.

Member Eligibility.  You must be a member in good standing.   Once you become a member of the Credit Union you are eligible to use Mobile Deposit. You may enroll in Mobile Deposit by downloading the mobile app, selecting the mobile deposit function and accepting this user agreement.   If you perform any Unacceptable Deposits (see Unacceptable Deposits below), perform or try to perform any transactions deemed questionable or unacceptable by the Credit Union, your eligibility can be suspended while we investigate the transaction.  If any of the following applies to you, you will be ineligible to enroll in or use Mobile Deposit; your loan or credit card account with us is delinquent more than 60 days, you do not have an email address on file with us, you are not enrolled in Online Banking, your account is dormant, or your Mobile deposit transactions are under review.

Acceptance of Agreement.  By using the Mobile Deposit Service or clicking the electronic signature “acceptance” below, you agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, including any amendments.  Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement.  You agree to comply with the hardware and software requirements set forth herein.  There is currently no charge for Mobile Deposit.  However, we reserve the right to change the terms and charges for Mobile Deposit at any time and we may amend, modify, add to, or delete from this Agreement from time to time.  Your continued use of Mobile Deposit will indicate your acceptance of the revised Agreement.

Compliance with Laws.  You agree to comply with all existing and future operating procedures used by UKRFCU for processing of transactions. You further agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, regulations, guidelines and ordinances pertaining to your use of Mobile Deposit, as well as all laws relating to the banking transactions contemplated hereunder.  You also agree to comply and be bound by any clearinghouse rules or agreements, operating circulars, image exchange agreements, and other documents such as, but not limited to “NACHA”, “ECCHO”, and ”NCE  to which we are a party that govern Mobile Deposit.  You promise to indemnify and hold us harmless from any damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or other harm arising out of any violation thereof.  This indemnity shall survive termination of your account with us and this Agreement.

Limits.  We reserve the right to establish limits on the dollar amount and/or the number of items or deposits that you transmit using Mobile Deposit which we may change at any time.  If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit.  A member will need to request a limit increase by notifying the credit union.

Members for 30 days $5,000 $5,000 5

 

There is a daily limit of 5 deposits.  Saturday, Sunday and Monday have a combined limit of 5 deposits, as long as the respective dollar limits are not exceeded.  If we permit you to make  deposits 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.  Members in good standing can request higher deposit limits.  New members may request an increase after 90 days.

Eligible Items.  You agree to deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. For purposes of this Agreement, “check” (as defined in Regulation CC) means a negotiable demand draft that is drawn on:

Requirements.  Each image must accurately and legibly provide all information on the front and back of the original check at the time presented to you by the drawer, including, but not limited to, information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the original check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the original check and any endorsements applied to the back of the original check.  The image quality of the check must meet the standards established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, including the requirements under federal Regulation CC, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

Prior to electronically transmitting a digital image of the original check, you will restrictively endorse the check as follows:  endorsements must be made on the back of the share draft or check within 1½ inches from the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space.  Your endorsement must include your signature, your account number and “FOR UKRFCU MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY”.

If the words “For UKRFCU Mobile Deposit Only” do not appear on the back of the check, we reserve the right to reject that item.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of Mobile Deposit as we may establish from time to time.  Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it.  If the check is payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the check.

Fees.  You agree to pay all fees and charges for deposit services as set forth on UKRFCU’s  Fee Schedule.  Service fees are subject to change at any time.

Receipt of Deposit.  All images processed for deposit through Mobile Deposit will be treated as “deposits” under your current Membership and Account Agreement with us and will be subject to all terms of the Membership and Account Agreement. You will receive an email confirmation when your check image has been transmitted for processing.  You understand and agree that electronically transmitting a digital image of a check does not constitute receipt by the Credit Union.  We shall not be deemed to have received the image for deposit until the image is posted to your account. Upon receipt of the digital image, we will review the image for acceptability and will convert items meeting our requirements into substitute checks to facilitate the deposit and collection of such items.  You understand that, in the event you receive a notification from us confirming receipt of an image, such notification does not mean that the image contains no errors or that we are responsible for any information you transmit to us.  We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

Following receipt of the image, we may process the image by preparing a “substitute check.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we reserve the right, within our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your account and, in the event we reject an item for remote deposit, you understand and agree that you must deposit the original item.  You understand and agree that even if we do not initially reject an item you deposit through Mobile Deposit, we may return the substitute check we created because, among other reasons, the paying bank deems the electronic image illegible.  Our failure to reject such an item shall not limit your liability to us.  We are not liable for any service or late charges levied against you due to our rejection of any item.  In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account due to an item being returned.

Check Retention and Destruction.  After you have confirmation that we have received an image, you agree to prominently mark the item as “Electronically Presented” or “VOID” to ensure that it is not represented for payment.  You agree to securely store each original check that you deposit using Mobile Deposit for a period of 60 days after transmission to us in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements.  After such period expires, you will destroy the original check.  You understand and agree that you are responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure the original checks.  During the retention period, you agree at your expense to promptly deliver any retained check, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, to the Credit Union upon request to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, or for our audit purposes.  If not provided within 7 business days of our request, such amount will be reversed from your account.  In addition, if you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.

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.

Funds Availability.  Funds from deposited items will be available according to the Credit Union’s Funds Availability Policy previously provided to you, which is incorporated herein by reference. Deposits made by the Mobile Remote Deposit program do not fall under the standard provisions of Regulation CC – Expedited Funds Availability Act.  As such, longer hold periods may apply.  For purposes of funds availability, Mobile Deposits are made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, even if the time stamps on the transactions show Pacific Time.  You agree that electronically transmitting a digital image of an original check does not constitute receipt by the Credit Union.  Mobile Deposits confirmed as received before 4:00 PM EST on a business day will be credited to your account the same day.  Deposits received after 4:00 PM EST on a business day, on holidays or days that are not our business days will be credited to your account on the following business day.  Credit to your account does not infer funds availability.  You also understand that credit is provisional until settlement is final.

Returned Deposits.  Any credit to your account for checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is provisional.  If original checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee 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, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check.  With respect to any item that you transmit to us for remote deposit that we credit to your account, in the event such item is dishonored, you authorize us to debit the amount of such item from your account, plus a returned check fee as stated in our Fee Schedule.  We will notify you via email of transactions we are unable to process because of returned items.  Should the email be returned as undeliverable, the Credit Union will have completed its obligation to alert you of a rejected item and is under no obligation to attempt any redelivery of the email.  You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item.  Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.

We 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.

Your Warranties.  You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each image:

  • Each image of a check transmitted to us is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the check has no defense against payment of the check.
  • The amount, payee(s), signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the image and on the original check are legible, genuine, and accurate.
  • You will not deposit, or otherwise endorse to a third party, the original check and no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the original check or a paper or electronic representation of the original check such that the person will be asked to make payment based on an item that has already been paid.
  • There are no other duplicate images of the original check.
  • The original check was authorized by the drawer in the amount stated on the original check and to the payee(s) stated on the original check.
  • You are authorized to enforce and obtain payment of the original check.

  • You will not use Mobile Deposit and/or your accounts for any illegal activity or transactions.
  • Files and images transmitted to us will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.
