Except as otherwise required by law, rule or regulation, we may change the terms of this Agreement from time to time and at any time. When changes are made we will update this Agreement on our Website. The Website will be updated on the effective date, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system or unless a law, rule or regulation requires that it be updated at an earlier time. As always, you may choose to accept or decline changes by continuing or discontinuing the use of Online Banking or Mobile Banking. Changes to fees or terms applicable to Accounts are governed by the agreement otherwise governing the applicable account.  

Fees:   

Fees will be outlined in the Fee Schedule located on our Website. There are no monthly fees for accessing Online Banking. Other fees may be assessed and billed separately by your Online service provider or Device provider. All telephone or wireless charges associated with Online Banking or Mobile Banking are your responsibility. All other fees which have been separately disclosed to you in connection with your Account(s) will continue to apply to those Account(s) and to your Online Banking and Mobile Banking.

Mobile Banking Description of Service:  

Mobile Banking is offered as a convenience and supplemental service to our Online Banking services. It is not intended to replace access to Online Banking from your personal computer or other methods you use for managing your accounts and services with us. Mobile Banking allows you to access your Credit Union account information, make payments to payees, transfer funds and conduct other banking transactions. To utilize Mobile Banking services, you must be enrolled in Online Banking.

We reserve the right to limit the types and numbers of accounts eligible and the right to refuse to make any transaction you request through Mobile Banking. We may also reserve the right to modify the scope of the Service at any time.

Mobile Banking may not be accessible or may have limited service over some network carriers. Mobile Banking may also not be supported by all Devices. The Credit Union cannot guarantee and is not responsible for the availability of data services provided by your mobile carrier, such as data outages or “out of network” issues.

Use of Mobile Banking Service:  

We may modify the Service from time to time at our sole discretion.  In the event of any modifications, you are responsible for making sure you understand how to use Mobile Banking as modified. You also accept responsibility for making sure that you know how to properly use your Device and we will not be liable to you for any losses caused by your failure to properly use the Service or your Device.

Other Mobile Banking Agreements:

You agree that, when you use Mobile Banking, you remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in your existing agreements with any unaffiliated service providers, including, but not limited to, your mobile service provider and that the Agreement does not amend or supersede any of those agreements. You understand that those agreements may provide for fees, limitations and restrictions which might impact your use of Mobile Banking (such as data usage or text messaging charges imposed on you by your mobile service provider).  You also agree to be solely responsible for all such fees, limitations and restrictions.  You agree that only your mobile service provider is responsible for its products and services and you also agree to resolve any issues or problems with your provider directly with the provider without involving us.

You agree to review your account disclosures carefully, as they may include transaction limitations and fees which may apply to your use of Mobile Banking.

Equipment and Software:

The Credit Union does not guarantee that your Device or mobile phone service provider will be compatible with Mobile Banking. Mobile phones and other Devices with internet capabilities are susceptible to viruses. You are responsible to ensure that your Device is protected from and free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other similar harmful components (collectively referred to as “viruses”) which could result in damage to programs, files, and/or your phone or could result in information being intercepted by a third party. The Credit Union will not be responsible or liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages which may result from such viruses. The Credit Union will also not be responsible if any non‐public personal information is accessed via Mobile Banking due to any of the above named viruses residing or being contracted by your Device at any time or from any source.

The Credit Union is not responsible for errors or delays or your inability to access the service caused by your Device. We are not responsible for the cost of upgrading the Device to remain current with the Service. We are not responsible for any damage to the Device or the data within.

Permitted Online Banking and Mobile Banking Transfers:

You may use the Service to transfer funds between your eligible Cooperative Federal accounts. You may also use the Service to transfer funds from eligible Cooperative Federal accounts to eligible external accounts and payees.

You must have sufficient funds available in the selected accounts at the time the transfer is received, including available overdraft protection (if applicable). We may process transfers that exceed your available balance at our sole discretion. Applicable fees may apply as permitted by Law.

Federal Regulations limit the number of preauthorized transfers allowed from a savings or money market account per month. Online Banking and Mobile Banking transfers count towards this limit. Each transfer from a savings or money market share account using Online Banking or Mobile Banking is counted as one of the six preauthorized transactions permitted each month (see Federal Reserve Board Regulation D for more details).

We may also limit the type, frequency and amount of transfers for security purposes and may change or impose the limits without notice, at our discretion as permitted by Law.

You agree to confirm the completion of each transfer in your account balance and transaction history before withdrawing transferred funds.

Your Responsibilities:

You agree to the following by enrolling in Online Banking or Mobile Banking or by using the Service:

Account Ownership/Accurate Information:  You agree that you are the legal owner of the Accounts and other financial information which may be accessed via Online Banking or Mobile Banking. You agree that all information provided to us in connection with Online Banking or Mobile Banking is accurate, current and complete, and that you are required to provide such information to us for the purpose of Online Banking or Mobile Banking. You agree you will keep Cooperative Federal informed on any changes to your email address. You agree not to misrepresent your identity or your account information as well as keeping your account information up to date and accurate. You agree that you are an authorized user of the Device. You are responsible for all transactions you authorize using Online Banking or Mobile Banking under this Agreement. If you permit others to use your log in or password you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your Accounts.  Cooperative Federal has the right to rely upon the access of Online Banking or Mobile Banking using log in and password information as legitimate.

You agree you will not give out account information, user log in or passwords, leave your computer unattended while on Online Banking, allow your computer or Device to store your user name and password, leave account information in view or range of others, nor will you send any private account information via a public or general email system.  You also agree to log out of Online Banking completely if you are using a public computer. You agree not to leave your Device unattended while logged into Mobile Banking and to log off immediately at the completion of each access by you. You agree not to provide your username, password or other access information to any unauthorized person.  If you allow access to Online Banking or Mobile Banking to an unauthorized user, you will be responsible for any transaction they authorize and we will not be liable for any damages as a result. You agree not to use any personally identifiable information when creating shortcuts to your Account. We recommend that you change your password regularly. We are entitled to act on instructions received under your password. For security purposes, it is recommended that you memorize your password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password and account information confidential. If you believe that your password may have been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account, notify us immediately by calling 315-471-1116. You may also notify us in writing at Cooperative Federal, 1816 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY 13210.

Errors: In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers telephone us 315-471-1116, write us 1816 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY 13210 or E‐mail us at info[at]coopfed.org 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.

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 decide to do this, 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. For errors involving new accounts, point‐of‐sale, or foreign‐initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error. 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.

Termination:

Cooperative Federal reserves the right to terminate Online Banking or Mobile Banking, in whole or in part at any time with or without cause and without prior written notice as allowed by Law.  In the event you provide a termination notice, we may (but are not obligated to) immediately discontinue making previously authorized transfers, including recurring transfers and other transfers previously authorized, but not made. We also reserve the right to suspend the Service either temporarily or permanently in situations deemed appropriate in our sole and absolute discretion including if a security breech has been attempted or has occurred. We may consider repeated incorrect attempts to enter your username or PIN as an indication of an attempted security breech. Termination of the Service does not affect your obligations under this Agreement in respect to occurrences before termination.
