Personal Electronic Banking Services Agreement and Disclosure
This Personal Electronic Banking Services Agreement and Disclosure (“Agreement”) explains the terms and conditions governing the use of RSNB Bank’s Personal Electronic Banking Services (“PEBS”). PEBS includes all online banking services, except bill payment services which are governed by a separate agreement, mobile and tablet banking. By clicking the “I Accept” button at the end of the page, you confirm your agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and acknowledge your receipt and understanding of this disclosure. By using any of PEBS, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Please read it carefully.
Your accounts are governed by their respective contracts, disclosures of account terms, borrowing agreements, notes, applicable fee schedules, and any other agreement evidencing the terms and conditions of your accounts (collectively referred to as “Account Agreements”). If any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with the Account agreements, the Account Agreements shall prevail.
This Agreement may be revised to reflect changes or additional new services at any time, effective upon posting the revised Agreement on RSNB Bank’s website. Continued use of the PEBS after posting of a revised Agreement will constitute acceptance of the revised terms and conditions of the Agreement unless some other type of notification is required by law or regulation.
Definition of Terms
The words “we,” “our” and “us” mean RSNB Bank. In this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” mean those who request and use PEBS, any joint owners of accounts accessed under this Agreement or any person authorized by you to use your PEBS. “Account” means any one or more deposit, loan or other accounts you have with RSNB Bank to which you have access through PEBS. An Account may be owned by a consumer or a business entity. “Enrollment Form” means the form you complete and submit to receive PEBS. “Credentials” means the access ID, password and other security credentials used to authenticate identity and access PEBS. “Business Days” are Monday through Friday except Federal Reserve Bank holidays.
Online Banking Service
PEBS are services provided to RSNB Bank customers (consumers, sole proprietors and other business customers, at our discretion). PEBS are available to you through computers and certain supported mobile devices and tablets. Access via mobile devices for the mobile browser or text messaging must be activated through RSNB Online. You may download the mobile app through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or activate the app through RSNB Online. Additional terms and conditions apply and will be presented online for acceptance prior to PEBS being activated. In order for you to use PEBS, you must be the owner/signer of at least one Account at RSNB Bank. You must have a working connection to the Internet, a web browser that provides strong encryption, a valid email address and a current pdf viewer (to receive and view statements and notices). Mobile Banking is available through participating wireless carriers and supported mobile devices. It is your responsibility to notify RSNB Bank of any and all changes to your email address. RSNB Bank accepts no responsibility or liability for the consequences of your failure to notify us of all changes to your email address.
For joint accounts, each person with access to PEBS will have separate Credentials.
At the present time, you may use PEBS to access your accounts and perform the following functions:
- Review account balances and transaction history;
- Transfer funds between your accounts on either a one-time or recurring basis, including payments to installment or mortgage loans;
- Transfer funds between your account and accounts you own outside the bank;
- Pay bills directly from your eligible accounts;
- Review account statements;
- Review pending transactions;
- View and print check images;
- Receive account statements and notices electronically instead of paper statements via the e-Statements service;
- Make deposits from your mobile device using the RSNB mobile app; and
- Export your account information to financial management software programs such as Quicken®, QuickBooks® or a CSV (Comma Separated Value) document.
Not all functions listed above are available for mobile and tablet banking. It is your responsibility to notify RSNB Bank of the loss or theft of your mobile phone or tablet. Mobile banking allows you to add more than one mobile phone or tablet to your online account. If you add another mobile phone or tablet to your online account, you certify that you are giving permission to the owner of the mobile phone or tablet to access your accounts.
We recommend that you print a copy of this Agreement for your records and that you periodically check for updates or changes and review the latest Agreement available.
Credentials
Once we receive your Enrollment Form, we will provide you with Credentials. Your initial Credentials will be temporary. For security purposes, you are required to change your Credentials the first time you access Online Banking. We also require that you create an access ID that is unique to you and a strong password. You create your password and your password is not available to us. By entering your Credentials, you authorize us to follow any instructions entered through PEBS. You accept responsibility for the privacy and security of your Credentials and agree not to give your Credentials or make them available to any other person. RSNB Bank is entitled to act upon instructions received through PEBS under your Credentials without inquiring into the identity of the person using your Credentials. The Bank recommends you change your password regularly to protect the security and privacy of your financial information. RSNB Bank assumes all transactions authorized by your Credentials are legitimate. You assume responsibility for all transactions up to the limits allowed by applicable law. RSNB Bank will not be responsible for any loss due to breach in the aforementioned security procedures.
Access to PEBS will be locked for 30 minutes in the event your password is entered incorrectly on four (4) consecutive access attempts. After five (5) consecutive lockouts, you will need to re-establish your authorization to use PEBS. Contact us at 307-362-4802 to restore access to your PEBS.
Account Access
When you use PEBS, you must use your Credentials to access your account. The Accounts to which you may have access through Online Banking include your checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and loans and lines of credit. Accounts you open after enrollment in Online Banking may be included in PEBS unless you instruct us otherwise in writing. If you have an account that you are unable to access, you may request that it be added. Accounts are added at RSNB Bank’s sole discretion. We undertake no obligation to monitor transactions through PEBS to determine that they are made on behalf of the account holder.
PEBS are accessible seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day, except for reasonable periods from time to time for system maintenance. There may also be unscheduled down time, but we work to minimize such interruptions in service. You agree that we are not liable for scheduled or unscheduled interruptions of PEBS. During times when services are not available, you may use ATMs or offices to conduct your transactions (assuming you have applied for and been accepted to utilize ATM services).
If you do not access PEBS during any consecutive one hundred eighty (180) day period, your access to PEBS may be terminated without notice to you.
Security
You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through PEBS and agree to promptly examine statements for your Accounts as soon as they are available. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your Accounts and account numbers and your personal identification information (e.g., your driver’s license number and social security number). You understand that personal identification information by itself or together with information related to your Accounts may allow unauthorized access to your Accounts. Your Credentials, along with other security features, are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your Accounts. You agree that properly logging off PEBS (by clicking the “Log Out” button) is required to protect access to your PEBS. You assume all risks associated with disclosure or discovery of any security procedure (including Credentials) to or by others. Data transferred via PEBS is encrypted to provide transmission security. PEBS utilize identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of system transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to ensure that PEBS are secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including email, occur openly on the Internet and can potentially be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the PEBS, or email transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.
Balance Inquiries
You may use PEBS to check balances and recent activity of your Accounts. Any balance shown by PEBS will include a date as of which the balance is current. The balance shown may also differ from your records because it may not include pending items such as deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments, charges, or items in process. Certain pending items are available to view in Online Banking. Due to processing constraints, there may be some pending items that affect balance activity, which are not available to view in Online Banking.
Bill Payment Services
RSNB Bank’s bill payment services are an optional feature provided through CheckFree®. In order to access bill payment services you must have an established checking account. Participation in bill payment is subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Bill Payment Service.
Funds Transfers
You may use PEBS to initiate electronic funds transfers from your checking, savings, or money market account to other eligible accounts at RSNB Bank. Transfers you make through PEBS before 6:00 p.m. MST on a business day are posted to your account on the same day. Transfers you make after 6:00 p.m. MST on a business day, Saturday, Sunday or Federal Reserve Bank holiday may not be posted until the next business day. RSNB Bank identifies transfers based upon the Credentials of the user who made the electronic transfer. You agree to communicate with any other persons with authorized access to your accounts about any transfers from your account in order to avoid overdrafts.
Unless you schedule or designate a future date on which a transfer should be made, instant transfers of funds will be transferred promptly after you submit the transfer online. You may not delete or modify an instant transfer once you have completed the transfer online. You may reverse the transaction by transferring the funds back to the account from which it was moved. Scheduled, future-dated or recurring transfers may be modified or deleted by editing the transfer or using Delete on the Transfer page under Scheduled transfers. For assistance in modifying or deleting a transfer, please call 307-362-4802.
Account-to-Account Transfers (A2A)
See Appendix A for Account-to-Account Transfer Terms of Service
Mobile Deposit
RSNB Mobile Deposit allows you to make deposits of an original check to your eligible checking account, money market account, or savings account. Mobile Deposit enables you to capture an electronic check image from your camera-enabled mobile device using the RSNB mobile app and delivering the items and associated deposit information to the Bank for processing.
You can cancel the transaction at any time during the mobile deposit process. However, once the transaction has been submitted, it cannot be canceled.
Eligibility, Termination and Changes. You will be automatically enrolled to use the service. RSNB Bank reserves the right to terminate, modify, add or remove features at any time or to suspend account access at any time if we suspect fraud, misuse of Mobile Deposit, have excessive overdrafts or returned items or for other reasons at our sole discretion. A valid email address is required to receive communications concerning any deposit made through Mobile Deposit. If you wish to cancel Mobile Deposit, you may notify us by e-mailing us at e-banking@rsnb.com or call 307-362-4802.
Eligible items. You agree to scan and deposit only eligible checks as defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg. CC”). When the image of the check transmitted to the Bank is converted to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Acceptance of all items is at the sole discretion of RSNB Bank.
You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:
- Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into.
- Checks containing an obvious alteration, or which you know or suspect or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn.
- Checks payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees.
- Checks previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC.
- Checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
- Checks that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC.
- Checks not payable in United States currency.
- Checks dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit.
- Checks or items prohibited by the Bank’s current procedures relating to the Service or which are otherwise not acceptable under the terms of your account with us.
- Checks that have been previously returned unpaid by the financial institution on which they are drawn.
- Checks payable on sight or payable through drafts, as defined in Reg. CC.
- Checks with any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this Agreement.
- Checks that have previously been submitted through Mobile Deposit or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution.
- Checks that have previously been deposited or negotiated in any way at RSNB Bank or any other Financial Institution or ATM.
Image Quality. You are responsible for the image quality of any item transmitted using Mobile Deposit. The image of the item transmitted must be legible and clear, as determined by RSNB Bank. It must capture all pertinent information from both sides of the item, including all endorsements. The image quality of the item must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the Bank, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other federal regulatory agency, clearing house or association. When capturing the image, visual brackets provide a guide for entering the check. Each check image is analyzed for quality upon submission; if the image does not pass, you are immediately notified and can re-capture the check image.
Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to properly endorse each item by signing in the endorsement area of the back of the item and using the restrictive endorsement ‘For Mobile Deposit at RSNB Bank Only’ below your signature. Both your signature and the restrictive endorsement are required. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as we may establish from time to time. Please note: If the check is not properly endorsed, it will be REJECTED.
Receipt of Items. RSNB Bank reserves the right to reject any item transmitted through Mobile Deposit, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive confirmation from us that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. Retain any item transmitted through the service 7 calendar days before destruction to give sufficient time to verify the deposit. We further reserve the right to reject any item deposited that we determine was not an eligible item or charge back an item any time that was returned to us for any reason. You will be notified by email if any item(s) have been rejected.
Mobile Deposit Availability of Funds. You agree items deposited through Mobile Deposit service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. If you make a deposit via Mobile Deposit before 3:00 p.m. MST on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit via Mobile Deposit after 3:00 p.m. MST or on a day that we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day that we are open. Funds deposited through Mobile Deposit will be available the next business day after the receipt of the items. In the event that we close prior to 3:00 p.m. MST for any reason, the time of closing will be considered the cut-off time for that business day. If a hold is placed on your Mobile Deposit, you will receive notification by mail. The funds will generally be available to you no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. Please note: All deposits are subject to verification and can be rejected upon review.
Deposit Limits. All items deposited via RSNB Mobile Deposit are subject to Bank review and/or approval. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount and/or number of items that you transmit using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit that exceeds these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit that exceeds 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.
Errors. You agree to notify the bank of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the service following our error notification process as outlined and defined in the Deposit Account Agreement governing your account.
Retention/Destruction of Original Item. You agree to safeguard and keep the original check(s) for a minimum of 7 calendar days from the date you have transmitted the item. During this period, you agree to promptly provide the check to the bank if requested. After verifying the deposit has been credited to your Account, you agree to render the item(s) incapable of further transmission by marking it VOID, or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment. This ensures that the item was an eligible item, with the proper endorsements, and was not rejected by RSNB Bank.
Presenting Checks More than Once. Once you have used Mobile Deposit to deposit a check, you agree not to present, or allow anyone else to present that original check or a substitute check of that original check again for deposit through Mobile Deposit or by any other means. If you or anyone else presents a check or substitute check for deposit more than once, in violation of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Bank harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to such check or substitute check. You agree that we may debit from your Bank account the aggregate amount of any checks that are deposited more than once. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such an amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any other of your accounts with the Bank in our sole discretion.
Availability of Mobile Deposit. The Service is generally available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. At certain times Mobile deposit may not be available due to system maintenance or technical difficulties, including those of the wireless service provider, the software, or circumstances beyond our control. If you are not able to use the service to make deposits, you may deliver or mail your deposits to the Bank. Deposits of original checks at the Bank shall be governed by the terms and conditions contained in your Account Agreement and not by the terms of this Agreement. The Bank is not responsible for providing an alternate method of remote deposit if Mobile Deposit is not available.
Overdrafts
If your account has insufficient funds to perform any electronic fund transfers (EFT) you have requested for a given business day, then:
- Electronic funds transfers involving cash disbursements, such as ATM withdrawals, will have priority;
- Electronic fund transfers initiated through PEBS, which would result in an overdraft of your account, may, at our discretion, be cancelled;
- In the event the fund transfers initiated through PEBS, which would result in an overdraft of your Account, are not cancelled, overdraft or return item fees may be assessed pursuant to the terms of the Account Agreement for that Account.
We may seek the return of any payment order and may reverse any other transfer, at any time, if doing so may reduce losses or damages we may sustain.
Transfer Limitations
The number of transfers from RSNB Bank Accounts and the amounts which you may transfer are limited by the terms of the applicable Account Agreements. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to your Account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.
Disclosure of Account Information & Transfers
We will maintain the confidentiality and privacy of your account information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you submit under the following circumstances:
- As necessary to complete a transaction requested by you;
- To verify the existence of sufficient funds to cover specific transactions upon the request of a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
- To comply with a government agency or court order; and
- In accordance with your express written permission.
By using PEBS, you agree to the disclosure of such information.
Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfer
(Consumer /Personal Accounts Only)
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call us at 307-362-8801 or write us at RSNB Bank, PO Box 880, Rock Springs, WY 82902 as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
When you contact us:
- Tell us your name and account number (if any);
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can the nature of the problem or error.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. If the error relates to a payment made via the bill-pay service, please call 888-822-4609.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days (five (5) business days for Visa Debit Card point-of-sale transactions processed by Visa and twenty (20) business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days (ninety (90) days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (five (5) business days for Visa Debit Card point-of-sale transactions and twenty (20) business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you believe 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 questions in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first thirty (30) days after the first deposit is made unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened. We will tell you the results within three (3) 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.
Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, when you have properly instructed us to do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will
NOT be liable, for instance:
- If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make a transfer;
- If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account;
- If your account is closed, or if it has been frozen;
- If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts;
- If you, or anyone authorized by you, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation;
- If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device, or any part of the electronic fund transfer system is not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transfer;
- If you have not properly followed the on-screen instructions for using PEBS;
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, interruption in telephone service or other communication lines) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
CONTACT US AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost, stolen, used without your authorization, or otherwise compromised, or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission. An immediate telephone call to us is the best way to reduce any possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, your liability is no more than $50 if someone used your password without permission.
If you do not contact us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not authorize, you must contact us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may not get back any money you lost through transactions made after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from contacting us, we may extend the time periods.
Periodic Statements
We report your PEBS transactions on the periodic statement(s) for your Accounts. A description of each transaction, including whom you paid, and the date and amount of the transaction, will appear on your statement. You will receive a statement monthly unless there are no transactions in a particular month. In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly.

Errors, Questions, and Complaints.
- In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, you should as soon as possible contact us as set forth in Section 6 of the General Terms above.
- If you think your statement is wrong or you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we send you the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. When you contact us, you must:
- Tell us your name and account number (if any);
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and,

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Section 28 of the General Terms above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which you reside.

- No Waiver. We shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies.

You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable Account if the debit is returned from the other Account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds. Transfers may be delayed or blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a Transfer Instruction that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your user preferences (i.e., email, push notification).
- We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- The transfer is refused as described in Section 6 of the Transfer Money Terms below;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Eligible Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,

Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site.

Use-based fees for the Service will be charged against the Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the Service. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider.
