- Obtain account balance information
- Review transactions in account
- Receive and download account information
- Transfer funds between accounts
- Access account statements
- Additional Services – We may, from time to time, make additional services available through our Internet Banking. Our notification may be in the form of information posted on our website and will be subject to the terms of this Agreement unless otherwise stated. By using these additional services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and any additional instructions, procedures and terms provided to you with respect to each of these new services as amendments to this Agreement.
- Password – We will assign you a User ID and an initial Password. You will be prompted to change your user ID and password immediately after signing on with your initial password. You may change your password at anytime by selecting the Services option and clicking on Change Password. It is recommended that you do not use your social security number, birthday, name, or other codes that may be easy for others to determine as your password.
All Internet Banking Service transactions or inquiries must be initiated by use of your user ID and password. We may accept as authentic any instructions given to us through the use of your password.
Confidentiality of Your Password
You agree to keep your password confidential. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, DO NOT PROVIDE IT, and please contact us immediately. Use of the password will be considered the same as your written signature authorizing us to complete any transaction or request communicated through our Internet Banking Service. You agree that any Internet Banking Service transaction or request initiated by use of the password will be subject to and governed by this Agreement.
If you authorize another person to use your password, that person can use the Internet Banking Service to view any information or initiate any transaction on any of the accounts to the same extent as you, including viewing information or initiating transactions on accounts to which that person does not otherwise have access. As such, your sharing of your password is strongly discouraged by the bank, and done at your sole risk and peril. If any third party should gain access to your password, you alone are responsible for changing the password so as to deny the third party’s access to your banking information. If you permit another person to use Internet Banking Services or give them your user ID or password, you are responsible for transfers or advances that person makes from your accounts, even if that person exceeds your authorization.
You agree to notify us immediately if your password is lost or stolen or if you believe someone else has discovered your password. Please call [YOUR BANK PHONE #] during normal business hours. If any unauthorized use of your password occurs you agree to (1) cooperate with us and appropriate law enforcement authorities in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator; and (2) provide any assistance requested by us in recovering any unauthorized transfer of funds.
Never leave your computer unattended while accessing the Internet Banking Services. If you should, a third party may be able to access your accounts from your terminal, without ever needing to use your password. You should always exit Internet Banking Services completely after you finish viewing your accounts or conducting other transactions. To completely exit the software, you must select the “LOGOUT” option, which will bring you back to the home page of our website. Failure to do so could have the same effect as leaving your computer unattended while still logged on to the service.
Farmers State Bank WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENT OR TRANSFER MADE USING YOUR PASSWORD. - Access – You may access our Internet Banking Services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, although some or all online banking services may not be available occasionally due to emergency or scheduled system maintenance. In addition, the Internet Banking Service may be interrupted due to acts of God or other conditions outside the control of the bank.
We are not liable for any loss or liability resulting from any failure of your equipment or software, or that of your own internet provider. A browser with at least 128 bit encryption is required for security reasons. - Transfers To and From Accounts – You may use our Internet Banking Service to initiate Electronic Fund Transfers between accounts with us.
Authorization – You expressly authorize us to debit the account in the amount of any bank transfer initiated through our Internet Banking Service by you. You agree that we may treat any such bank transfer from an account the same as a duly executed written withdrawal, transfer, or check and that we may treat any such bank transfer to an account the same as a deposit, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You agree that we may comply with transfer instructions entered by any person using an authorized user ID and password, regardless of the restrictions placed at the account level, i.e., two signatures required or no minor withdrawal.
Limitations – Your ability to initiate bank transfers between deposit accounts may be limited by federal law or by the terms of your deposit agreement with us. Bank transfers from deposit accounts that are savings or money market deposit accounts are limited as required by federal regulation. You agree that we may, without notice or other obligation to you, refuse to make any bank transfer for security reasons or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or your deposit agreement with us.
Time of Bank Transfers; Posting; Funds Availability If you initiate a bank transfer between accounts at or before 4:00 p.m. CST on a business day, the bank transfer will be posted on the same business day. Bank transfers initiated after 4:00 p.m. CST on a business day or on weekends and holidays will be posted on the next business day. Bank transfers to make payments to loan accounts must be initiated by 4:00 p.m. CST on a business day in order to be processed on the same business day. Funds transferred will be available for withdrawal on the same business day that the bank transfer is posted by the bank. If there are not available funds in the account from which a transfer is being made at the time the transfer is processed, at our option, your account may become overdrawn and you may be charged a fee, or the transfer may be canceled. - Account Information – You may use our Internet Banking Service to receive, download, store and print information that is routinely set forth in the statements for the account, such as debits and credits made to the account, amounts and item numbers for items drawn on the account, and account balances. Updated account balances and transaction information will normally be available by 10:00 p.m. CST. Available balances may reflect bank transfers or other transactions made since the end of the preceding business day, and are subject to further adjustment and correction. For this reason, we cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of the information and expressly disclaim the same. You will receive your usual periodic statement of account (“Bank Statement”) for each account maintained with the bank. Your bank statement remains the bank’s official record of your account balances and activity.

You agree that we will not be required to provide any other notice to you of the execution of transfers or debits or credits. You agree to promptly examine each account statement and report any discrepancies between your records and the account statement or any other notices that you receive from us.
- Settlement of Obligations – To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize us to obtain payment of your obligations to us under this Agreement from time to time by (a) initiating debits to any of the accounts or (b) deducting the payment from the amount of any bank transfer.

At the time any account is closed or any Internet Banking Service is terminated, you agree that all such obligations will be immediately due and payable to us, and you authorize us to withhold the amount of any such obligations from any account.
