AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK of FREMONT
Online Banking (eBank) Agreement
Please review the following eBank agreement. Once you have agreed to the terms and conditions listed, click on the accept button. The eBank enrollment form will appear. Online enrollment will temporarily activate your account for 14 days. We will mail you an eBank agreement that you will need to sign and return to us to permanently activate your account.
1. The Service.
In consideration of the Online Banking services ("eBank") to be provided by AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK of FREMONT ("ANBF"), as described from time to time in information distributed by ANBF to its customers. In the agreement, "Customer" refers to the person(s) subscribing to or using eBank, the Customer agrees as follows. You may use a Personal Computer ("PC") through an Internet connection to obtain account balances and transaction information. You may also use your PC to obtain statements on your accounts and to transfer money between your accounts. However, transfers from your savings and Money Market accounts are considered pre-authorized transfers, and pre-authorized transfers are limited to six (6) per monthly statement cycle by federal regulations. In addition, you may use your PC to electronically direct us to make payments from your account to third parties ("Payees") that you have selected to receive payment through eBank. You may make payments through eBank to any business professional, merchant, family member, or friend. The ("Account") means your designated bill payment checking account at ANBF from which we make bill payments on your behalf pursuant to the Agreement. By subscribing to eBank or using eBank to make any payments to a third party, you agree to the terms of the Agreement.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS.
2. Your Merchant List.
You may include all utility companies, merchants, financial institutions, insurance companies, individuals, etc. whom you wish to pay through ANBF's eBank Bill Pay. Include a complete mailing address and telephone number for each and your account number with each payee. We reserve the right to decline to make payments to certain persons and entities.
3. Your Access ID and Password.
Each individual who has access to ANBF's eBank, including each individual named on joint accounts, must establish an Access ID and Password. Your Password must be a minimum of 8 characters, up to a maximum of 17 characters, which must consist of at least four (4) numeric characters, plus at least four (4) alpha characters (Case Sensitive) . For example, your Password may be: 1234anbf. You will be required to change your Password periodically to enhance security.
4. Scheduling Payments.
You may choose to add BillPay and use your PC to electronically schedule payments with ANBF's eBank Bill Pay Service. Payments are posted against your balance available for withdrawal, as defined in the Bank’s Funds Availability Policy, plus the available credit on your overdraft protection, if any, or other line of credit.
5. Delivery of Your Payments and Transfers.
You may schedule payments to be initiated on the current business day, on a future date, or on the same date of each month, subject to the restrictions in the Agreement. Although you can enter payment information through the Service twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, payments can be initiated only on business days. Funds will be deducted from your Account on the business day on which a payment is to be "initiated." This date is referred to in this Agreement as the "Transaction Date." If you direct the initiation of a payment to occur on a day other than a business day, it will be initiated on the following business day.
After funds are withdrawn from your Account, we may remit your payments by mailing your Payee a check, by electronic funds transfer, including ACH (Automated Clearing House) or by other means. Because of the time it takes to send your payment to them, your Payees generally will not receive payment on the Transaction Date. This applies regardless of whether the payment is a next-day payment, a future payment, or a recurring payment, as described below. Therefore, in order to provide sufficient time for payments to be received by your Payees, the Transaction Date should be prior to the date your payment is due. It is helpful if you allow additional time for a payment to be completed the first time you send a payment to a Payee through eBank. This allows the Payee to adjust to the new form of payment. You may schedule a payment to be initiated on any business day or any future date. Payments must be scheduled by the normal cut-off time of 4 p.m. (Central Standard Time) on any business day in order for the payment to be initiated for that business day. Transfers must be scheduled by the normal cut-off time of 4 p.m. (CST) on any business day in order for the transaction to be completed on that business day.
6. Recurring Payments.
Recurring payments are those made for the same amount and are made on a weekly, bi-monthly, monthly basis, etc. Once started, recurring payments will be made automatically until you tell us to stop or cancel the payment and we have a reasonable opportunity to react.
7. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions.
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, we might be liable for some of 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 the transfer;
- if the money in your account is subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting transfer;
- if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line (if any);
- if the automated teller machine or the merchant where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash;
- if the system was not working properly when you started the transfer;
- if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood or systems failure) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
- if the payee mishandles or delays handling payments sent by us.
8. Canceling Payment.
You may use your PC to cancel a bill payment up to 4 p.m. (CST) on the business day prior to the date your payment is scheduled to be initiated ("Transaction Date"). There is no fee for canceling a payment prior to the transaction date. Other requests must be made at least one (1) day prior to scheduled payment date. A payment that has been sent may be recalled for a fee of $20 per item, but ANBF will not guarantee the ability to recall an item.
9. Statements.
All payments, transfers, and/or fees made with the ANBF eBank’s Bill Payment Service will appear on your monthly Account statement. The Payee name, payment amount, and date of the payment will be shown for each payment made through eBank during that month.
10. Fees.
Any fees or charges for ANBF's Online Banking shall be payable in accordance with a schedule of charges as established and amended by ANBF from time to time. Charges shall be automatically deducted from customer’s Account, and ANBF shall provide to Customer monthly notice of such debit(s) on your statement.
11. Equipment.
You are solely responsible for the equipment (including, in the case of Online Banking, your personal computer and software) you use to access eBank. We are not responsible for errors or delays or your inability to access eBank caused by your equipment. We are not responsible for the cost of upgrading your equipment to stay current with the eBank nor are we responsible, under any circumstances, for any damage to your equipment or the data resident thereon.
12. Business Days/Hours of Operation.
Our business hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (CST), Monday through Friday. Except bank holidays.
Although payments and transfers can be completed only on business days, eBank is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during maintenance periods, for the scheduling of payment orders and transfers.
13. Notice of Your Rights and Liabilities.
Security of your transactions is important to us. Use of eBank requires a password. If you lose or forget your password, please call (402) 727-8600 during normal business hours listed above or (402) 941-8620 and leave a voice mail message.
We may accept as authentic any instructions given to us through the use of your password. You agree to keep your password secret and to notify us immediately if your password is lost or stolen or if you believe someone else has discovered your password. You agree that if you give your password to someone else, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf, and we may accept any instructions they give us to make transfers or otherwise use eBank. ANBF's eBank enables you to change your password; we require that you do so regularly. We may be liable for certain security breaches to the extent required by applicable law and regulation. We do not assume any other liability or otherwise guarantee the security of information in transit to or from our facilities. Please note that we reserve the right to (1) monitor and/or record all communications and activity related to eBank; and (2) require verification of all requested transfers in the manner we deem appropriate before making the transfer (which may include written verification by you). You agree that our records will be final and conclusive as to all questions concerning whether or not your password was used in connection with a particular transaction. 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 reasonable assistance requested by us in recovering any unauthorized transfer of funds.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum line of credit). If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have prevented someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call (402) 727-8600 during normal business hours listed above. WE CANNOT ACCEPT NOTIFICATION OF LOST OR STOLEN PASSWORDS OR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS VIA E-MAIL.

If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days if the notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer to or from the account within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have 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 credit your account.
