There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Billing Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply.
You are responsible for any and all fees assessed by your Internet service provider, telephone or mobile device carrier. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the eBranch Service was used during the billing cycle.
10. Enrollment Process
You must complete the enrollment process to use the Service.
The Internet enrollment process involves completing a secure online application that we will use to verify your identity. You will also choose your Login ID and Password during the enrollment process.
When you enroll for the Service, you agree to provide true and accurate enrollment information. Our eBranch Department will verify the information you submit for accuracy and proper authorizations.
11. Linked Accounts
When you first enroll for the Basic eBranch Service we will link all of your designated Eligible Accounts to one Login ID. If you want to limit the accounts linked or the privileges assigned to an account, please contact us at (808) 930-7700 or toll-Free 1 (800) 514-2328 or send us a secure message through the Service.
With the exception of sole proprietors, Business Members may not link personal Consumer accounts to the Service.
If the Eligible Accounts added to the Service are jointly held or have multiple signers, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your Login ID and Password are authorized unless we have been notified to cancel the Service.
12. Signature Requirements
When any online transfer or other Payment Instruction is initiated through the eBranch Service for your benefit, you agree that we may debit the designated Eligible Accounts without requiring your signature on the item and without any notice to you. Authorized Users of Business Members that may be assigned payment or transactional capabilities through the Internet Banking Service should be authorized by the Business Member to make or approve electronic transfers, even though that person's authority to make transfers by other means may still require dual signatures.
13. Account Balances
Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance reflected in the Service may differ from your records due to deposits in progress, checks outstanding, or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. A transfer request must be made before the Business Day Cut-off time to be effective the same Business Day.
The balances within the Service are updated periodically and the Service will display the most current "as of" date on the "accounts" detail page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The Service will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for account transfers.
14. Canceling or Changing Transfers
You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system AND the information has been processed and/or transmitted to us through the Service; however, you can edit or change a transfer that is still "pending".
If you need to edit a pending or approved transaction after-cut-off time, please contact us immediately; although in these situations, we may not have sufficient time to stop the transfer from further processing.
15. Transaction Limitations
You may use the Service to check the balance of your Eligible Account (s) and to transfer funds among your Eligible Accounts at this Financial Institution. You must have sufficient funds in your account to cover the amount of any online transfers and Bill Payments on the scheduled payment date set for the transaction, or the transaction may not be processed. NSF and/or overdraft charges may be incurred if Bill Payments exceed your account balance.
Current federal regulations restrict the number of transactions that you can make from certain types of accounts, such as Money Manager and Savings Accounts. For these types of accounts, you may not make more than six (6) pre-authorized (automatic) electronic funds transfers (EFTs), during a given monthly statement period. Online account transfers and bill payments are counted toward the six permitted monthly transfers. Please refer to your original account agreement for excessive activity fees that may apply. Federal regulations currently place no limits on the number of transfers or Bill Payments from your checking, or share draft account, money manager checking, premium saver checking and business checking accounts , therefore this financial institution currently limits the Bill Payment Service to only checking, or share draft account, money manager checking, premium saver checking and business checking accounts.
16. Privacy
We understand how important privacy is to our members. We have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your financial transactions with us. You should read our privacy notice (found on our website) before completing the enrollment process for the Service.
(A) Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make ONLY in the following situations:
Please refer to our privacy notice (found on our website) for additional detail on disclosure of account information.
17. Internet SecurityThe eBranch Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating your access to transact using the eBranch Service, our eBranch Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with the Eligible Account (s) that you request to be linked to the eBranch Service.
Login IDs and Passwords - One of the main security features protecting the eBranch Service is the unique combination of your Login ID and Password. During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique Login ID and Password. For security purposes, do not use your account number or social security number as your Login ID. Encryption and access controls are used to protect your Password within our database. If you need to reset your Password, you may use our online automated Password reset feature or you may contact this Institution for assistance.
Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.
When you enroll for the eBranch Service you agree to change your Password immediately if you suspect that your Password has been compromised. This can be done at any time from the "Security Preferences" menu after you log on to the eBranch Service.
NEITHER THIS INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL CONTACT YOU BY TELEPHONE, EMAIL OR TEXT MESSAGING REQUESTING PERSONAL INFORMATION, SUCH AS YOUR LOGIN ID, PASSWORD, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, ATM CARD NUMBER OR ATM PIN. IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY ANYONE REQUESTING THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION, DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AND CONTACT OUR EBRANCH DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Encryption – The eBranch Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using eBranch. Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our eBranch Service. The eBranch Service requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption and we will warn you if your browser does not meet this requirement.
Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from "open" to "locked". What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.
Certificate Authority - The servers hosting the eBranch Service have been certified by a certificate authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the eBranch Service instead of someone pretending to be us. By clicking on the lock within the eBranch Service, you can view the certificate to ensure its valid.
Cookies - During your use of the eBranch Service, our eBranch Service Provider will pass an encrypted session cookie to your computer that enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide an Login ID and Password for each individual transaction. You must accept this cookie to use the eBranch Service. The session cookie is stored on your computer's hard-drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on. The session cookie does not contain any personal information. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the session cookie will be destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account. Our Service Provider also uses persistent or "permanent" cookies to identify this Institution and your computer as part of our enhanced security. The permanent cookies will remain on your computer's hard drive until you clear cookies with your browser. If you do not accept these cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of the eBranch Service.
Multi-Level Authentication - We use multi-level authentication (or enhanced security) to help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts. As part of our enhanced security solution we provide SMS Verification to help verify your identity in the event unusual login or transaction activity is detected.
18. Your Security ObligationsYOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATIONS, AND OPERATION OF YOUR COMPUTER INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF UPDATED ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION.
NEITHER THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, ERRORS, DELETIONS, FAILURES, OR DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL OR BUSINESS ACCOUNT INFORMATION THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY VIRUS, TROJAN, SHARED PASSWORD, OR MALFUNCTION OF YOUR COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE OR YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY MAINTAIN AND SECURE YOUR COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE.
Occasionally we may post important security notices on our website and/or send online banking users security related notices or reminders; it is your responsibility to read all security notices.
19. Protecting Your Password
When you or your Authorized Users accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available your Password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individual(s). You are responsible for all transactions authorized or requested though the eBranch Service using a valid Login ID and Password, including those situations when your Login ID and Password are obtained due to compromise to your computer. If you permit other persons to use the eBranch Service with your Password, or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize.
If you believe that your Password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the eBranch Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling (808) 930-7700 or Toll-Free 1 (800) 514-2328 during member service hours. You can also contact us by sending a secure message through the eBranch Service.
IF YOU OR YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS DISCLOSE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE, AND/OR IF YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO USE YOUR PASSWORD TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOU ARE AUTHORIZING THEM TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THE EBRANCH SERVICE BY THEM (E.G., SUCH AS WHEN YOU PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDER, AN EMPLOYEE, AN AGGREGATION SERVICE PROVIDER, OR WHEN YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER IS COMPROMISED BY A KEY STROKE LOGGING VIRUS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MALWARE).
You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including Password change confirmations, to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual.
20. Our Liability for Failure to Complete TransactionsWe will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers and Bill Payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), or Payment Account ,or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller, which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, this Financial Institution and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
21. Documentation and Verification of Payments and TransfersInformation regarding eBranch and Bill Payment transactions will be reflected on the account detail in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).
22. Provisions Applicable Only to Consumer and Sole Proprietors Deposit Accounts(A) Errors and Questions
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, you should notify us as soon as possible through one of the following methods:
If you think your statement is incorrect or you need more information about an electronic transfer or Bill Payment transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement was sent to you on which the problem or error appears. You must:
If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your verbal notification. We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error.

If it is determined there was no error, we will mail you a written explanation within three (3) Business Days after completion of our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation. We may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.
(B) Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Login ID or Password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit if applicable).
If Members who are Consumers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your Password, Login ID used or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your Password, Login ID or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.
If your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

35. Bill Payment Terms and Conditions
(A) Bill Payment Scheduling
The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically five (5) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the Service when you are scheduling the Bill Payment. Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling Bill Payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller 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 Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.
(B) Bill Paying Process
Single Payments – A single payment will be processed on the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except certain holidays) that you designate as the payment's processing date, provided the payment is submitted prior to the daily cut-off time on that date. The daily cut-off time, which is controlled by the Financial Institution, is currently 10:00am HST
A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated process date will be processed on the next business day. If you designate a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays) as the payment's processing date, the payment will be processed on the first business day following the designated processing date.
Recurring Payments – When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically rescheduled by the system. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the payment, a processing date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated processing date is a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays), it is adjusted based upon the following rules:
Note: If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as a particular day of the month for processing and that day does not exist in the month of the calculated processing date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated processing date.
(C) Single and Recurring Payments
The system will calculate the Estimated Arrival Date of your payment. This is only an estimate, so please allow ample time for your payments to reach your "Payees".
(D) Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance
By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions received through the Service.
