"Payment Account" is the checking account from which bill payments will be debited.

"Billing Account" is the checking account from which all service fees will be automatically debited.

"Due Date" is the date reflected on your Payee statement for which the payment is due.  It is not the late date or grace period.

"Scheduled Payment" is a payment that has been scheduled through the Bill Pay Service but has not begun processing.  

c. Payment Scheduling.  The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Payee (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the application when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, you will not be permitted to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Payee. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Payee statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Due Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates should be prior to any late date or grace period. 

d. Bill Pay Transactions.  You authorize us to process Bill Pay transactions from your checking account. You or any persons who you have authorized to use your Bill Pay service or password can perform the following Bill Pay transactions:

"Future" payments are payments initiated by setting the payment amount and future payment date. Payments can be canceled or changed through Bill Pay until funds are withdrawn from the account.

"Recurring" payments are payments that reoccur on a preset date with a fixed amount. You have the option in Bill Pay to set recurring payments to continue indefinitely or to stop on a specific date. Payments can be canceled or changed through Bill Pay until funds are withdrawn from the account.

e. Number and Authorized Payees. You may schedule payments with payees located in the United States. Except for tax payments you may not make payments to federal, state or local governments or other categories of payees we designate from time to time. When you submit a Bill Pay transaction, you authorize us to transfer funds from your checking account. We will process Bill Pay transactions only to those payees the Credit Union has designated, payees you authorize and payees for whom the Credit Union has the proper payee member number. The Credit Union will not process any Bill Pay transfer if we know the required transaction information is incomplete. In any event, the Credit Union will not be liable for any transaction that contains incorrect information that the Credit Union was not responsible for entering or knowing. If there are insufficient funds in your account to process the Bill Pay transaction, we may refuse to process the transaction or we may process the transaction and transfer funds from any overdraft protection account you have authorized. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to process transactions that reasonably appear to the Credit Union to be fraudulent or erroneous.

f. Service Guarantee. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Credit Union, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Payees or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account.  We will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the "Payment Scheduling" requirements.

g. Bill Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By providing the Credit Union with names and account information of Payees to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Credit Union to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system.  In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Credit Union may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives. 

When the Credit Union receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Credit Union and its processing agents to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as soon as reasonably possible after the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you.  You also authorize the Credit Union and its processing agents to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Credit Union by the United States Postal Service or Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Pay Service.

The Credit Union will use its best efforts to make all of your payments properly.  However, the Credit Union shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee shall be void if the Credit Union is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  • If, through no fault of the Credit Union, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
  • The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Credit Union about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  • You have not provided the Credit Union with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee; and/or,
  • Circumstances beyond control of the Credit Union (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Credit Union has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Credit Union causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Payee which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Credit Union shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges. 

h. Payment Methods. The Credit Union reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Payee.  These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment. (Funds remitted to the Payee are deducted from your Payment Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution for payment).

i. Payment Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application.  There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment.  Once the Credit Union has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted. 

j. Stop Payment Requests. The Credit Union’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared.  The Credit Union may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed.  If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Service at (907) 745-4891 or (907) 694-4891.  Although the Credit Union will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Credit Union will have no liability for failing to do so.  The Credit Union may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days.  The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

k. Prohibited Payments. Payments to Payees outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Bill Pay Service.

l. Exception Payments. Court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Bill Pay Service, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk.  In no event shall the Credit Union be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments.  Credit Union has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Credit Union.

Notification.  The Credit Union will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly.  In addition to notification within the Bill Pay Service, the Credit Union may send an e-mail notification to the e-mail address listed for your account.  It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate.  In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the Bill Pay Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills.  The time for notification may vary from Payee to Payee.  You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. 

Cancellation of Electronic Bill Notification. The electronic Payee reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time.  You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time.  The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Payee to Payee.  It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Payee.  The Credit Union will notify your electronic Payee(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery.  The Credit Union will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

Non-Delivery of Electronic Bill(s).  You agree to hold the Credit Union harmless should the Payee fail to deliver your statement(s).  You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.  Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Payee directly.

This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Payees.

Although the ACH Network is often used to execute Person-to-Person Service payment transactions, other Payment Networks may be used to facilitate the execution and transmission of payment transactions. All payment transactions must be made through the Credit Union MV Online service and are subject to the terms of this Agreement. Receipt of payment transactions may be made through the Credit Union MV Online service subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Payment transactions initiated to Receivers are processed in two ways. You can provide all the required information about the Receiver, including his/her Transaction Account, necessary to complete an ACH Network transfer of funds. Alternatively, you can provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address or mobile telephone number) and the Person-to-Person Service may contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that we may validate the identity of the Receiver at the Person-to-Person Website and then (ii) provide Transaction Account information in order to complete the payment transaction.

You understand and agree that when you initiate a payment transaction from a Transaction Account using the Person-to-Person Service, the processing of the payment transaction will begin and the debiting of your Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver's Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the payment transaction. If you request a one-time payment transaction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of payment transactions to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the payment transaction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s).

Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance.  By providing us with names and telephone numbers, email addresses, and/or account information of Receivers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Transfer Instructions that we receive through the Person-to-Person Service.

You also authorize us to credit your Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including but not limited to those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) or cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the payment transaction could not be completed. It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information or Transfer Instructions (including but not limited to the Transfer Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address that the Sender enters for the Receiver to whom you are sending the payment transaction), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate.

You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending payment transaction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Transaction Account.

Payment Methods and Amounts. We impose limits on the amount of funds you can send or receive. These limits may be adjusted from time-to-time at our sole discretion. You may log in to the Site to view your individual transaction limits. We also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf, and the method to return funds to you in the event that your Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic or paper check payment.

Receipts and Transaction History. You may view your transaction history by logging into the MV Online service and viewing your transaction history.

Further, you represent and warrant that the Recipient Account is located in the United States.  When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the Recipient Account designated by you and to debit one of your Accounts.

Transfer Cancellation Requests and Refused Transfers. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Transaction Account. If this is unsuccessful (for example, the Transaction Account has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to mail you a paper check. If after ninety (90) days (or longer, depending on our then-current standard for unclaimed checks) that check has not been cashed, we will stop payment on it and transfer funds to an "unclaimed funds" account, and will subsequently handle the unclaimed funds as required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Stop Payment Requests. If you as a Sender desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact us. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

Failed or Returned Transfers. In using the Account-To-Account Service, you are requesting us to make transfers for you from your Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the transfer for any reason associated with your Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Transaction Account to cover the transaction), the transfer may not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us. In each such case, you agree that: (a) You will reimburse us immediately upon demand the transfer amount that has been returned to us; (b) For any amount not reimbursed to us within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed; (c) You may be assessed a fee by us if the transfer is returned because you have insufficient funds in your Transaction Account to cover the requested transfer or if we cannot otherwise collect the funds from you; the fee amount will be as set forth in your fee schedule from us or your Account agreement with us; (d) You hereby authorize us to deduct these amounts from your designated Transaction Account by ACH debit; and (e) You will reimburse us for any fees or costs we or they incur in attempting to collect the amount of the return from you; and, (e) We are authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit reporting agency.

Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer to a Recipient Account. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds to a Recipient Account. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited transfer under this Agreement.

Returned Transfers. In using the Account-To-Account Service, you understand transfers may be returned for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Recipient Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Recipient Account or void the transfer and credit your Transaction Account. You may receive notification from us.

9. Mobile Deposit (Remote Deposit Capture) Services.  The Mobile Deposit Service (“Service”) is available for consumer accounts only. By using the Service or by electronically accepting these Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) on the Mobile enrollment page within MV Online or MV Mobile, you and any joint owners or authorized users, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and any amendments. The Mobile Deposit Service allows you to scan paper checks (“Original Checks”) from your desktop (“My Deposit”), or to photograph them with the camera on your mobile device (“Remote Deposit Capture”) and electronically deliver the images and associated deposit information (“Check Images”) to the Credit Union or our processor for deposit into your Credit Union account.

New Credit Union members are eligible to use the Mobile Deposit Service 30 days following initial account opening. Mobile Deposit service will not be available to minors; if you have caused the Credit Union a loss; or if you have an unsatisfactory check or credit history. The Mobile Deposit service is subject to the following terms and conditions and to the instructions, rules and terms provided to you via a link within the service and incorporated by reference herein.

a. Mobile Deposit Access.

Mobile Deposit Process. If we approve the Mobile Deposit service for you, you must use your MV Online password with your Login to access your accounts. You may photograph an image of a check with your Remote device creating an electronic image and you may transmit the electronic image that the Credit Union will deposit to your account. The Credit Union's processing agent shall perform an image quality assessment of the imaged checks and shall convert items meeting the Credit Union's required standards into substitute checks to facilitate the deposit and collection of such items. You agree that the manner in which checks are cleared or presented for payment shall be determined by the Credit Union, in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to select the clearing agents through which we clear checks.

Funds Availability. For purposes of funds availability, mobile Deposits are considered deposited at a branch of the Credit Union subject to the following deposit cut-off time limits. Mobile deposits confirmed as received before 5 pm on a business day will be available for withdrawal from your account in five (5) calendar days. There may be additional holds on deposited items as set forth in the Credit Union's Funds Availability Policy disclosure, as amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of determining the cut-off period for deposits and the availability of funds, checks deposited via Mobile Deposit session are considered received by the Credit Union when the checks have cleared and funds are available to the Credit Union. You agree that the imaging and transmitting of a check alone does not constitute receipt by Credit Union. Also, acknowledgment of receipt or delivery does not constitute an acknowledgment by Credit Union that the transmission of a check or items does not contain errors or that funds will be available.

Deposit Acceptance. You agree that Credit Union may at any time, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept deposits of a check from you via Mobile Deposit session. In the event that the Service is interrupted or are otherwise unavailable, you may deposit checks in-person at a Credit Union branch or via night drop or mail or other contractually acceptable method.

b. Member Account & Responsibilities. You must designate a Credit Union checking account as the settlement account to be used for the purposes of settling, transactions requested in connection with the Service. We will provide you with details of each specific transaction. You will be responsible for reviewing and balancing of any settlement account.

Responsibility for Imaging. You are solely responsible for imaging deposit items, accessing the service from the Credit Union and for maintaining your imaging equipment. You will be responsible for the payment of all telecommunications expenses associated with the service. Credit Union shall not be responsible for providing or servicing any Equipment for you.

Responsibility for Check Endorsements. For all mobile check deposits, you must endorse the original paper check with your name and providing: “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY AT MVFCU,” and your account number. If you fail to provide this endorsement, we may refuse the deposit and return it to you and you agree to indemnify the Credit Union from any liability or loss to the Credit Union arising from the payment of the original paper check without such required endorsement.

Deposit Requirements and Limits. You agree that you will only use the Service to deposit checks drawn on financial institutions within the United States, excluding its territories. For checks not falling within this requirement you must deposit those checks in person, using a night drop facility or by U.S. Mail. You agree that each check you deposit through the Service will meet the image quality standards directed in the application.  Deposit limits are: account opened 90 days or more: $2,500 per day and $5,000 per month; accounts opened 30-90 days: $1,000 per day and $2,500 per month.  If your limit is changed you will be notified at least 30 days in advance of the limit change going into effect.  The deposit cut-off time is 5:00 pm on business days, excluding Saturdays and holidays.  Any deposits made after the cut will be processed the next business day. We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit 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.

Check Retention & Destruction. You agree that all checks belong to you and not to the Credit Union and that those items shall be handled in accordance with this Agreement and your Membership and Account Agreement. After our receipt of a deposit transmission we will acknowledge by electronic means our receipt of such transmission. Your electronic transmission is subject to proof and verification. You will retain the original of all imaged checks that have been deposited via Mobile Deposit for a reasonable period of time in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements, but in no case beyond thirty-five (35) days from the date processed. It is your responsibility to properly destroy and dispose of such original checks after such time. During the period that you maintain any original checks, you understand and agree that you must use a high degree of care to protect these original checks against security risks.  These risks include, without limitation, (i) theft or reproduction of the original checks (including by employees) for purposes of presentment for deposit of these original checks (i.e., after the original checks have already been presented for deposit via the Service) and (ii) unauthorized use of information derived from the original checks.  When you dispose of any original checks, you understand and agree that you must use a high degree of care when selecting and implementing disposal procedures to ensure that the original checks are destroyed and not accessed by unauthorized persons.

Deposit Prohibitions. You agree not to deposit, or attempt to deposit, or allow others, either directly or indirectly, to deposit, or attempt to deposit, by any means: (i) any Substitute Check, the original of which has already been presented for deposit via the Service, (ii) any image of a check that has already been deposited either as an original or as a substitute check, or (iii) any original check, the Substitute Check of which has already been presented for deposit via Mobile Deposit. In the event that you, or any third party, makes, or attempts to make, a deposit in violation of this Subsection you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Credit Union and its agents harmless from and against all liability, damage and loss arising out of any claims, suits, or demands brought by third parties with respect to any such Substitute Check or original check.  You agree that the aggregate amount of any items which are deposited more than once will be debited from your account, and to the extent funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, any balance shall be debited by Credit Union from any other deposit accounts with Credit Union in its sole discretion. You further acknowledge that you and not the Credit Union is responsible for the processing and handling of any original items which are imaged and deposited utilizing the Service and you assume all liability to the drawer of any item imaged using the service or liability arising from the Credit Union's printing of any substitute check from those images.

Your Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant:

  • that you will comply with all federal and state laws, and rules and regulations applicable to deposit and check transactions, including those of the National Automated Clearing House for ACH transactions;
  • that all checks deposited through the Service are made payable to you;
  • that all signatures on each check are authentic and authorized; and
  • that each check has not been altered.

In the event you breach any of these representations or warranties, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold Credit Union and its agents harmless from and against all liability, damages and loss arising out of any claims, suits or demands brought by third parties with respect to any such breach. You further authorize the Credit Union to charge your account for the amount of any such demand, claim or suit that constitutes a breach of warranty claim under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Financial Responsibility. You understand that you remain, solely and exclusively responsible for any and all financial risks, including, without limitation, insufficient funds associated with accessing the Service.  The Credit Union shall not be liable in any manner for such risk unless the Credit Union fails to follow the procedures described in materials for use of the service. You assume exclusive responsibility for the consequences of any instructions you give to the Credit Union, for your failures to access the Service properly in a manner prescribed by the Credit Union, and for your failure to supply accurate input information, including, without limitation, any information contained in an application.

Account Reconciliation. You will verify and reconcile any out-of-balance condition, and promptly notify the Credit Union of any errors within the time periods established in the Membership and Account Agreement after receipt of your account statement. If notified within such period, the Credit Union shall correct and resubmit all erroneous files, reports, and other data at the Credit Union's then standard charges, or at no charge, if the erroneous report or other data directly resulted from the Credit Union's error.

c. Credit Union's Obligations.

Financial Data. The Credit Union agrees to transmit all the financial data under its control required to utilize the service selected by you and to act on appropriate instructions received from you in connection with such service. The Credit Union shall exercise due care in seeking to preserve the confidentiality of the user number, password, test key, or other code or identifier and to prevent the use of the service by unauthorized persons.

Service Availability. You understand that Service availability is at all times conditioned upon the corresponding operation and availability of the communication systems used in communicating your instructions and requests to the Credit Union. We will not be liable or have any responsibility of any kind for any loss or damage thereby incurred by you in the event of any failure or interruption of such communication systems or services resulting from the act or omission of any third party, or from any other cause not reasonably within the control of the Credit Union.

Exception Items.  When we review and process your electronic file, we may reject any electronic image that we determine to be ineligible for the service ("Exception Item") including, without limitation, electronic images of items drawn on banks located outside the United States, items drawn on U.S. Banks in foreign currency, electronic images that are illegible (due to poor image quality or otherwise), electronic images of items previously processed, electronic images previously converted to substitute checks, and electronic images with unreadable MICR information. We will notify you of any Exception Items.  You agree that if you wish to attempt to deposit any Exception Item to any of your accounts with the Credit Union, you will only do so by depositing the original item on which the Exception Item is based.  You acknowledge and agree that even if you do not initially identify an electronic image as an Exception Item, the substitute check created by the Credit Union may nevertheless be returned to Credit Union because, among other reasons, the electronic image is deemed illegible by a paying bank.  The Credit Union's failure to identify an Exception Item shall not preclude or limit your obligations to the Credit Union.

Account Information. We will provide you with daily transaction history via the Internet and the MV Online service detailing items processed, return items, and deposit adjustments.

Retention of Check Images. Credit Union will retain any substitute checks it generates for seven (7) years.

Your failure to notify Credit Union of any error, omission, or other discrepancy within seven (7) days from the date of a loss shall relieve Credit Union of any liability for such error, omission, or discrepancy.

Credit Union's Performance. You acknowledge and agree that the Credit Union shall not be liable for any damages or loss of any kind resulting from any unintentional error or omission by the Credit Union in performing the Service, in accordance with or unintentional deviation from the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

a. Liability on Business Accounts. For business accounts, you understand that any transaction by a business owner, employee, agent representative or anyone you authorize to transact business on your Account or any transaction by an authorized person that exceeds the specific transaction authority you have provided, is considered an authorized transaction for which you remain fully responsible. You are responsible for safeguarding your business, financial and personal data, access codes, and other information to prevent unauthorized access to or use of your accounts through this Service. If you believe your access code has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, you must notify us immediately. When you give someone your access code, you are authorizing that person to access your deposit accounts using this Service, and you are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using the Service. All transactions that person performs even those transactions you did not intend or want performed are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is no longer authorized, then only transactions that person performs after the time you notify us are considered unauthorized. Transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions. For your protection, sign off after every MV Online or MV Mobile session and close your browser or app to ensure confidentiality.

For consumer accounts, transactions by family members or friends that you allow on your Account are authorized by you. If you permit other persons to use your access code, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. However, you must notify us immediately if you believe anyone has used your password and accessed your accounts without your authorization. For EFT transactions, if you notify us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone accessed your account without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500

If your statement shows EFT transactions that you did not make, notify us immediately. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed or made available to you, you may be liable for the full amount of the loss if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the unauthorized EFT transactions. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from notifying us, we may extend the time period.

If you believe your access code has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer funds from your account without your permission, contact us immediately by one of the following: (907) 745-4891 or (907) 694-4891 (during business hours; M - F, (7 am - 7 pm), Saturdays (8 am – 5 pm)) or write: Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union, 1020 South Bailey Street, Palmer, AK, 99645.

13. Credit Union Liability for Electronic Services.

a. Consumer Accounts. If we do not complete a transaction 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. Our sole responsibility for an error in a transaction will be to correct the error and in no case will we be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages. In states that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of such damages, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Credit Union will not be liable for the following:

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have sufficient funds in your account to complete the transaction, your account is inactive, or the transaction would exceed the credit limit on your line of credit, if applicable.
  • If you used the wrong account or access code, you have not properly followed any applicable service or Credit Union user instructions for making online banking, Bill Pay, and mobile transactions.
  • If your personal computer malfunctioned or the phone lines were not working properly or the Credit Union computer system was not working properly and such problem(s) should have been apparent when you attempted your transaction.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages or strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction.
  • If the funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process or other claim.
  • If you have not given the Credit Union complete, correct and current instructions so the Credit Union can process the transaction.
  • If, through no fault of ours, a Bill Pay, MV Online or MV Mobile transaction does not reach a particular payee due to changes in the payee address, account number or otherwise; the time you allow for payment delivery was insufficient; payment is lost in the mail or the payee failed to process a payment correctly or in a timely manner and a fee, penalty, or interest charge is assessed against you.
  • If an error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union's control such as a telecommunications system, an Internet Service Provider, any computer virus or problems related to software not provided by the Credit Union.
  • If there are other exceptions as established by the Credit Union.

b. Business Accounts. The Credit Union shall have no liability to you, or any other person or entity for any loss, damage, cost, or expense arising out of this Agreement or the Services regardless of the form in which asserted, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), warranty, or any other legal or equitable grounds, and regardless of whether the remedies available fail of their essential purpose, except as provided by applicable law for any error or delay in performing the Services provided for in this Agreement. We shall have no liability for not completing a transaction, if we receive actual notice or have reason to believe that you have filed for bankruptcy, the ownership of funds involving a transaction or the Authorized Representative's authority to conduct a transaction is in question; we suspect your Account has been used for illegal or fraudulent purposes; or we reasonably believe that a transaction is prohibited by federal law or regulation, or this Agreement. We will not be liable if you fail to report timely any error or discrepancy reflected in a statement prepared by us, or if you fail to report a breach of a security procedure. If we fail to perform under this Agreement in accordance with the standards set herein, our liability for damages, losses, and other compensation owing to you shall be limited to direct damages caused solely by the Credit Union. We shall not be liable for any loss, damage, liability, or claim arising directly or indirectly from any error, delay, or failure to perform hereunder which is caused by earthquakes, fires, natural disasters, civil or foreign disturbances, power outages, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in either communication or computer networks, legal constraints, or any other event beyond its control.

14. Transaction Documentation.

a. Periodic Statements.  Transfers, withdrawals, and purchases transacted through any EFT Service, or with a participating merchant will be recorded on your periodic statement, provided by mail or electronically if you have requested an electronic statement.  You will receive a statement monthly unless there is no transaction in a particular month.  In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly.  You may request that your statement be provided electronically.

b. Direct Deposits.  If you have arranged to have a direct deposit made to your account at least once every sixty (60) days from the same source and you do not receive a receipt (such as a pay stub), you can find out whether or not the deposit has been made by calling the phone numbers listed in Section 6.b.  This does not apply to transactions occurring outside the United States.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) calendar days to investigate your complaint or question (ninety (90) calendar days for new account transaction errors, or errors involving transactions initiated outside the United States). If we decide to do this, we will re-credit your account within ten (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 ten (10) business days, we may not re-credit your account.

If we decide after our investigation that an error did not occur, we will deliver or mail to you an explanation of our findings within three (3) business days after the conclusion of our investigation. If you request, we will provide you copies of documents (to the extent possible without violating other members' rights to privacy) relied upon to conclude that the error did not occur.

16. Termination of Electronic Services. You agree that we may terminate this Agreement and your Electronic Services, if you, or any authorized user of the account, Service or access code breach this or any other agreement with us; or if we have reason to believe that there has been an unauthorized use of your accounts or password. You or any other party to your account can terminate this Agreement by notifying us in writing. Termination of service will be effective the first business day following receipt of your written notice. However, monthly fees will apply for any partial month with no prorating.

You authorize the Credit Union to deduct any such liability, loss, or expense from your account without prior notice to you. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Alaska as applied to contracts entered into solely between residents of, and to be performed entirely in, such state. In the event either party brings a legal action to enforce the Agreement or collect any overdrawn funds on accounts accessed under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to, subject to Alaska law, payment by the other party of its reasonable attorney's fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, bankruptcy proceedings, and any post-judgment collection actions, if applicable. Should any one or more provisions of this Agreement be determined illegal or unenforceable in any relevant jurisdiction, then such provision be modified by the proper court, if possible, but only to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable and such modification shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
