4. Online Banking Services and Deposit Account
This Section establishes the terms of any Customer that registers for an Account and said Account is opened.
Account Opening Information.
Federal law requires the Bank to obtain sufficient information to verify the identity of an Applicant and certain beneficial owners of an Applicant if the Applicant is a legal entity, such as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, limited partnership, or limited liability partnership. Applicant may be asked several questions and to provide one or more forms of identification to fulfill these requirements. In some instances, we may use outside sources to confirm the information. Certain information Applicant provides is protected by our privacy policy, the Bank's privacy policy and federal law.
We provide said information to Bank and other third-party service providers we consider appropriate to determine eligibility for the Services, fraud prevention, and verify your identity. We may make inquiries into your previous banking or credit relationships. We rely on the accuracy of the information that the Applicant provides when opening and maintaining its Account. We may use any information to deny Applicant's applications, suspend the provision of the Services to approved Customers, collect or close Customer's Account if Customer's information is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate.
Upon an Applicant being approved to open an Account, ROECNY will provide access to the Account software, may issue the Customer a debit card ("Card"), and will give access to the Online Banking Services (described below).
Online Banking.
Customers will receive certain banking, transfer, and electronic payment functions via the ROECNY website and/or mobile application ("Online Banking Service(s)"). With prior notice, ROECNY may add or eliminate Online Banking Services or otherwise modify the terms or features of any Online Banking Service. Accessing your Account through your username and password acts as your signature to authorize any requested transactions through the Online Banking Services. The Online Banking Services may include, among other Services: obtaining account balances; obtaining transaction information; obtaining statements; transferring funds via the automated clearing house (ACH) payment system; transferring funds through wire transfers; and depositing a check by taking a photo ("Mobile Check Deposit").
Account Management & Security.
Applicant must specify at least one Administrator to manage its Account when submitting its Application. "Administrator" means an authorized representative who is an authorized signer on an Account and is designated by the Customer to have responsibility for the initial enrollment in the Online Banking Services and your business' ongoing use of the Online Banking Services, including the designation of a Secondary Admin. "Secondary Admin" means an authorized representative appointed and set up by the Administrator using the Deposit Account. Administrators can add, remove, or manage Secondary Admins; request and manage Cards for Secondary Admins; view transactions and run reports; provide or update company information; connect third-party services, and other accounts to your Account; and perform other tasks to manage your Account. The Customer is responsible for any actions or failure to act on the part of Administrators or Secondary Admins, or those using their credentials to access The Customer's Account. The Customer is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on its Account and must keep its Account username and password secure. We encourage Customers to use "strong" passwords (for recommendations on what constitutes a strong password, check NIST SP 800-63B) with their Account.
To access Online Banking Services, ROECNY requires that the Customer uses a web browser with 128-bit encryption. Regardless of whether the Customer uses a web browser with security features, ROECNY is unable to ensure that the data transmitted by Customer to ROECNY, or from ROECNY to Customer, will not be intercepted by third parties. The Customer will not disclose its username(s), password(s), or any PIN(s) or other identification tools to any other person than an authorized representative. Customers should supply personally identifiable information only through the ROECNY mobile application.
Customers must notify ROECNY immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of its Account. ROECNY will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of the Customer's Account. We may suspend access to a Customer's Account if we believe that the Account has been compromised.
You agree that the above constitutes a commercially reasonable security procedure for you.
Customer represents and warrants that the Service(s) requested by Customer hereunder and pursuant to any agreement incorporated hereunder will be used by Customer solely for business or commercial purposes and not for personal, family, or household purposes.
Fees.
Customers will receive a separate schedule of charges, rates, qualifying balances, and fees if they are not included in this Agreement. The Customer agrees to pay any such charges and authorizes us to deduct these charges, without notice to the Customer, directly from the Account balance as accrued. The Customer will pay any additional reasonable charges for services it requests which are not covered by this Agreement.
Transaction Limits.
Each transfer of funds to or from an Account via an Online Banking Service is referred to as a "Transaction." In connection with the provision of the Online Banking Services to a Customer hereunder, if you request a Transaction, we are not obligated to process it. ROECNY may impose limits on the dollar amount and/or frequency of any Transaction you request using an Online Banking Service, including, without limitation, electronic payments, such as payments made with the online bill payment service, deposits, such as deposits made with the Mobile Check Deposit, transfers to an account outside the Bank, and any other Transaction, and ROECNY may change those limits from time to time. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, we will notify the Customer in advance of any such Transaction limits and any subsequent change to such Transaction limits. Information regarding current limits specifically applicable to your Account(s) is available within the Online Banking Service. If you submit a request for a Transaction through an Online Banking Service that exceeds applicable limits, ROECNY may, but is not obligated to, process the Transaction.
In the event that providing Online Banking Services to you results in unacceptable credit exposure or other risks to the Bank or ROECNY, or will cause the Bank or ROECNY to violate any law, regulation, rule or order to which either are subject, we may, without prior notice, limit your Transaction frequency or dollar amount or refuse to execute Transactions, or ROECNY may terminate any Online Banking Service then being provided to Customer. The Customer shall, upon request by the Bank or ROECNY from time to time, provide the Bank or ROECNY with such financial information and statements and such other documentation as the Bank or ROECNY reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Bank or ROECNY to evaluate its respective exposure or risk. Any internal limits established by ROECNY hereunder or refusal to execute Transactions shall be at ROECNY's sole discretion.
Other Account transfer restrictions are described elsewhere in the other agreements incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Transactions through the Online Banking Services, including transfers to your other Account(s), do count against the limited number of transactions on these types of accounts.
Authority to Transfer Funds.
The Customer agrees that if there is any requirement to verify two or more signatures on checks or transfers of funds, that requirement does NOT apply to Customer instructions for funds transfers, including online ACH, wire payment transactions or bill pay, using ROECNY online banking services. The Customer is responsible to establish the appropriate account controls in accordance with commercially reasonable methods. Customer releases ROECNY and Bank from liability when executing transfers or payments in accordance with Customer's instructions. Where an Account held under different tax identification numbers is included on one business profile, the Customer acknowledges that an employee and/or individual Secondary Admin of one business may be given authority by an Administrator to transfer funds or conduct other transactions on accounts of other businesses included in your Customer profile. The Customer acknowledges that limitations on such access can only be controlled by the Administrator(s), not the Bank. ROECNY will not be liable to Customer or any other person or business entity for any loss, damage, or expense arising from access to an account by an Administrator or a Secondary Admin, and Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and keep ROECNY and Bank harmless against all actions, claims or demands arising from actions of an Administrator or Secondary Admin.
Mobile Check Deposit.
Customer agrees to the applicable Mobile Check Deposit Agreement and any changes published by ROECNY.
ACH.
Customer agrees to the applicable ROECNY ACH Sender Agreement, and any changes published by ROECNY.
WIRE.
Customer agrees to the applicable ROECNY WIRE Agreement, and any changes published by ROECNY.
