Online Banking Agreement

Zelle Terms of Service

1. Zelle Service Description

   East West Bank has partnered with the Zelle Network (“Zelle”) to enable a convenient way to transfer money between you and others who are enrolled directly with Zelle® or enrolled with another financial institution that partners with Zelle (each, a “User”) using aliases, such as email addresses or mobile phone number (the “Zelle Service”). We will refer to the financial institutions that have partnered with Zelle as “Network Banks”.

   Zelle provides no deposit account or other financial services. Zelle neither transfers nor moves money. You may not establish a financial account with Zelle of any kind. All money will be transmitted by a Network Bank.

   THE ZELLE SERVICE IS INTENDED TO SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND OTHERS THAT YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE ZELLE SERVICE TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST.

   By enrolling in, and continuing to use, our Online Banking Service, you agree to these terms and conditions, and authorize us to make your eligible East West Bank account(s) available for enrollment in the Zelle Service through our Mobile App or Online Banking Services, subject to availability. Our Zelle Service is compatible with iOS version 11.0+ and Android version OS 6.0+, as well as the latest browser versions of Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Edge, and Opera. If your mobile or other device does not meet these specifications, then you may not be able to access Zelle using our Online Banking Service. You are not obligated to use Zelle. If you do not want to use Zelle, then you should not enroll in the service.

   Zelle and the Zelle related marks are wholly owned by Early Warning Services, LLC and are used herein under license.

   1. Eligible Transfer From Account Types
      • Eligible Transfer From accounts include consumer checking, savings, and money market accounts held by you at East West Bank in an individual or joint capacity, if access is available through our Online Banking Services.
        • The Bank may, from time-to-time, make additional ownership types available for the Zelle Service, and the availability of such additional ownership types, either on an exception basis or as part of an enhanced service offering, does not change your responsibilities under this Agreement.
      • Accounts must meet our ownership and processing criteria at the time the Zelle transaction is requested.
   2. Ineligible Transfer From Account Types
      • East West Bank accounts that do not meet eligibility requirements as defined by this Agreement or otherwise by the Bank.
      • Accounts that are not held in an individual or joint ownership capacity (without restrictions); or that are not otherwise allowed for under a Bank approved exception or as part of an enhanced service offering.
      • Business accounts
      • Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
      • 401 K Accounts
      • Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts or other time-based accounts
      • Loan accounts
      • Accounts that have processing restrictions or that have otherwise been temporarily or permanently blocked by us from using the Zelle Service.

      Regardless, if we make an account available for service selection, you agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring you have all necessary legal rights, power and authority to initiate the requested transfer from the Eligible account(s), and agree to be liable for any and all third party actions, claims, liability, loss and damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), caused by or arising from your actions.

      You may have other accounts that are not eligible for the Zelle Service due to Bank policies, procedures and/or restrictions specific to your East West Bank account. Eligibility is determined solely by the records of the Bank, and may change from time-to-time. We are under no obligation to honor a Zelle Service request, even if we have honored the same request in the past. If in doubt, you should contact us to verify if your account(s) is eligible for the Zelle Service.

   3. Eligible Use
      • When you enroll to use the Zelle Service or when you permit others to whom you have delegated to act on your behalf to use or access the Zelle Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You represent that you have the authority to authorize debits and credits to the enrolled bank account.

        You agree that you will not use the Zelle Service to send money to anyone to whom you are obligated for tax payments, payments made pursuant to court orders (including court-ordered amounts for alimony or child support), fines, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts or payments otherwise prohibited by law, and you agree that you will not use the Zelle Service to request money from anyone for any such payments.

        The Zelle Service is intended for personal, not business or commercial, use. You agree that you will not use the Zelle Service to send or receive payments in connection with your business or commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to decline your enrollment and the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Zelle Service if we believe that you are enrolling to use and/or are using the Zelle Service with your business account or to receive business or commercial payments, or for any unlawful purpose.

      • You are responsible for all content of communications you send through Zelle. Although neither we nor Zelle have any obligation to monitor such content, both we and Zelle have absolute discretion to remove content that we, at our sole discretion, find objectionable.
   4. Transfers from Money Market and Savings Accounts

      You are limited to six preauthorized or electronic funds transfers and telephone transfers, checks and point-of-sale transactions per statement cycle. Each transfer or payment made through the Online Banking Service, including Zelle payments, from a money market or savings account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you’re permitted each statement cycle. We charge a fee for each transaction in excess of this limit (please refer to the Bank’s Fee Schedule for fee information).

   5. Accessing the Zelle Service

      Access to the Zelle Service is currently available via our Mobile Banking and Online Banking Service. Regardless of how you access the Zelle Service, the same terms and conditions will apply.

         • Zelle Limits may be reduced by prior transfer activity initiated during the limit period, and/or the availability of funds in the Account that is funding the transfer.
   7. Enrolling for the Service

      To enroll in the Zelle Service you must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) or a permanent U.S. mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period of time (i.e., no temporary or “burner” numbers). You may not enroll in the Zelle Service with a landline phone number, Google Voice number, or Voice over Internet Protocol.

      Once enrolled, you may:

      • Authorize a debit of your account to send money to another User either at your initiation or at the request of that User subject to the use and limits of this Agreement; and
      • Receive money from another User either at that User’s initiation or at your request, subject to the conditions of the Requesting Money section of the Agreement.
        • See Section 11. Requesting Money of the Zelle Terms of Service Section of this Agreement for additional details.

      If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Zelle Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, we may contact you and/or take other steps to confirm that the U.S. mobile phone number or email address that you enrolled still belongs to you. If we are unable to to contact you and/or confirm that you are the owner of the mobile phone number or email address, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Zelle Service until you enroll again.

      Once enrolled, a Z logo will appear on your profile picture for each U.S. mobile number and/or email address that you have enrolled with Zelle. The Z logo will be displayed to other Users to aid them in determining which of your U.S mobile numbers or email addresses should be used to send money with Zelle. If a User sends you money using a different U.S. mobile number or email address that they may have for you (one that is not already enrolled), you will receive a message with instructions on how to enroll with Zelle.

   8. Consent to Emails and Automated Text Messages

      By participating as a Zelle User, you represent that you are the owner of the email address, mobile phone number, and/or other alias you enroll, or that you have the delegated legal authority to act on behalf of the owner of such email address, mobile phone number and/or other alias to send or receive money as described in this Agreement. You consent to the receipt of emails or text messages from us, from Zelle, from other Users that are sending you money or requesting money from you, and from other Network Banks or their agents regarding the Zelle Service or related transfers between Network Banks and you. You agree that we, Zelle, or either of our agents may use automatic telephone dialing systems in connection with text messages sent to any mobile phone number you enroll. You further acknowledge and agree:

      • You are responsible for any fees or other charges that your wireless carrier may charge for any related data, text or other message services, including without limitation for short message service. Please check your mobile service agreement for details or applicable fees.
      • You will immediately notify us if any email address or mobile phone number you have enrolled is (i) surrendered by you, or (ii) changed by you.
      • In the case of any messages that you may send through either us or Zelle or that we may send or Zelle may send on your behalf to an email address or mobile phone number, you represent that you have obtained the consent of the recipient of such emails or automated text messages to send such emails or text messages to the recipient. You understand and agree that any emails or text messages that we send or that Zelle sends on your behalf may include your name.
      • Your wireless carrier is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver any message sent to or from us or Zelle, including messages that you may send through us or through Zelle or that we may send or Zelle may send on your behalf.
      • To cancel text messaging from us, text STOP to 20736. For help or information regarding text messaging, text HELP to 20736 or contact our customer service at 1.888.895.5650 or 1.833.468.8356. You expressly consent to receipt of a text message to confirm your “STOP” request.
      • Our Zelle notifications are supported by many carriers, such as AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Check with your individual carrier to confirm availability.
      • We or Zelle may use information on file with your wireless operator to further verify your identity and to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized use of the Zelle Service. By using the Zelle Service, you authorize your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to disclose your mobile number, name, address, email, network status, customer type, customer role, billing type, mobile device identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) and other subscriber status and device details, if available, to our third party service provider solely to allow verification of your identity and to compare information you have provided to us or to Zelle with your wireless operator account profile information for the duration of our business relationship. See Zelle’s Privacy Policy for how it treats your data. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information.
   9. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks

      Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address or mobile phone number enrolled with the Zelle Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Zelle Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries for such transfers to the bank account you have enrolled.

      Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes, although there may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will attempt to notify you through your registered email or U.S. mobile number.

      If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.

   10. Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks

       You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of the Zelle Service by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Zelle Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.

       In most cases, when you are sending money to another User, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.

       The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will attempt to notify you through your registered email or U.S. mobile number.

       We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.

   11. Requesting Money

       You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a payment request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. Neither we nor Zelle accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

       By accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Zelle Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us and Zelle, and each of its owners, directors, officers agents and Network Banks from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from or arising out of any request for money that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts.

       You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.

       We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

   12. Zelle Service Additional Terms

However, neither we and nor Zelle shall have liability to you for any transfers of money, including without limitation (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle, to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages. Neither we nor Zelle shall be liable for any typos or keystroke errors that you may make when using the Zelle Service.

            • We are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages for failing to perform any Zelle transaction request.
       2. Cancellation/Modification

       3. Zelle Transaction Status/Notifications

The Bank may, from time-to-time and at its sole discretion, make additional ownership types available for the Wire Transfer feature, such as certain sole proprietorship, trust or fiduciary ownership types, and the availability of such either on an exception basis or as part of an enhanced service offering does not change your responsibilities under this Agreement.

      You may have other accounts that are not eligible for this Wire Transfer Service due to Bank policies, procedures and/or restrictions specific to your East West Bank account. Eligibility is determined solely by the records of the Bank, and may change from time-to-time. We are under no obligation to honor a Wire Transfer request, even if we have honored the same request in the past. If in doubt, you should contact us to verify if your account(s) is eligible for the Wire Transfer Service.

      You are responsible for monitoring your account and your Wire Transfer activity.  If you suspect that there is an error or issue with a Wire Transfer, please notify us immediately.

      • See Section 9. Errors or Questions of the Online Wire Transfer Service Section of this Agreement for additional details.

      1. Recipient Wire Transfer Instructions

         • Prior to initiating your Wire Transfer, you must provide us with information on the recipient and the financial institution that holds the recipient’s account.  This information will be used to initiate the Wire Transfer instruction and you are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information provided.

           All recipients and their associated Wire Transfer instructions are subject to an internal review by us, and may not be approved. 

           After initiating a Wire Transfer to a recipient we may, for your convenience and at our discretion, allow you to retrieve from the Mobile Banking Services your stored recipient information and Wire Transfer instructions to initiate subsequent Wire Transfers to the same recipient and financial institution that holds the recipient’s account.   Again, you are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information prior to requesting the Wire Transfer.  Recipient information may be suspended or terminated by us, at any time and at our discretion.  We are under no obligation to honor a Wire Transfer request, even if we have honored the same request in the past.

      2. Verbal Authorization/Secure Access Code

         • We may, at our discretion, require you to confirm your Wire Transfer request by providing verbal confirmation that the request was authorized by you.  If we do require your verbal authorization, we will attempt to contact you at the mobile phone number we have on record for you.  If we are unable to contact you or if you are otherwise unable to provide verbal authorization, we may not process your Wire Transfer request.

           Alternatively or in addition to verbal confirmation, we may also require you to enter a Secure Access Code we send to your mobile phone to verify your authorization.  If you are unable to receive the Secure Access Code or do not enter the correct Secure Access Code when requested, we may not process your Wire Transfer request.

   8. Wire Transfer Additional Terms

      1. Authorization

         • When we receive a Wire Transfer request from you, you authorize us to debit the funds from your Eligible Transfer From Account and send them to your designated recipient in accordance with your instructions.  

      2. Failure to Perform/Limitation of Liability

         • We will use reasonable efforts to process your Wire Transfer request. 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 Transfer From Account does not contain sufficient available funds to complete the transfer and/or your request exceeds your available Wire Transfer limits;
           • The Transfer From Account does not meet the ownership criteria, is closed, or contains restrictive codes that prevent us from fulfilling the Wire Transfer request;
           • The Wire Transfer Service is not working properly;
           • You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct recipient or bank routing information; and/or,
           • Circumstances beyond our control such as, but not limited to: natural disasters; equipment or system failures; labor disputes, wars or riots; governmental, legal or regulatory restrictions or prohibitions; third party actions; or interference from an outside force prevents the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances. We are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages.

      3. Identifying Number

         • We or any other bank involved in processing your Wire Transfer may process your request based on the account number and/or bank identification number alone, even if the numbers do not match the recipient’s or bank’s name.  If you provide an incorrect account number for the recipient or an incorrect routing or identification number for the recipient’s bank, you could lose the amount of the Wire Transfer.

      4. Cancellation/Modification

         • Once you have submitted a Wire Transfer request you do not have the right to cancel or amend your instruction after we have begun processing your request. 
           • You may request for us to try to return the funds to you, and if the recipient’s bank agrees, your funds may be returned to you, but likely not the full amount that was originally sent. You agree to hold us harmless from all claims and damages if we attempt (successfully or otherwise) to comply with your request.   

      5. International Wire Transfer Foreign Exchange Rates/Delivery Currency

         International Wire Transfers may be subject to delays, charges imposed by other banks, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates and/or currency type delivered to the beneficiary.By using our Wire Transfer Service, you agree to and accept, as applicable, any foreign exchange rate (FX Rate) provided by us at the time the Wire Transfer is requested; as well as any foreign exchange rate (FX Rate) that may be applied by the beneficiary bank.

         Currently, the Wire Transfer Service supports sending International Wire Transfers in U.S. dollars and select local currencies, as made available by us. Delivery countries and local currency options are subject to change; and may be different from the delivery options available through our branch network or other Bank services. When designating a delivery currency, you should carefully consider the currency type of the beneficiary account, as sending funds in a different currency type could result in additional fees and charges by the receiving bank. Additionally, because of the laws in some countries in which beneficiary banks are located, we cannot guarantee that your beneficiary will be able to receive U.S. dollars. If your Wire Transfer is converted to the local currency, the beneficiary bank may charge a fee for this exchange, which could reduce the amount that your beneficiary receives.

         If a local currency delivery option is selected, we will convert your U.S. dollar payment to the local currency at the foreign exchange rate displayed in our Mobile Banking Service at the time you successfully submit your International Wire Transfer request.

         • The foreign exchange rate (FX Rate) displayed is determined at our sole discretion, and may include a commission to us for exchanging the currency. If you do not submit the request or otherwise cancel your request after submission, the foreign exchange rate (FX Rate) will no longer be valid.

      6. Fees and Payment Route

         We may charge a fee when you use our Wire Transfer Service (please refer to the Bank’s Fee Schedule for information on fees that may apply).  Fees may also be imposed by other banks (i.e., intermediary, correspondent and/or beneficiary banks) or transfer service providers, and the amount your recipient receives may be reduced by such fees. You are responsible for all fees and taxes, including our fees and any fees charged by other banks or funds transfer system involved in the transfer.

         We may transfer funds through any intermediary bank and/or use any funds transfer system we believe reasonable to complete your request, regardless of any instructions you might give us.  If we are also the recipient’s bank, we may complete your request using an internal transfer.

      7. Holds on Available Funds

         • We may subtract funds from your account or place a hold on funds in your account and it may result in processing delays.  Once we have released your Wire Transfer, the recipient’s bank may delay credit to the recipient due to their own internal review process.

      8. Wire Transfer Status/Notifications

         • We may, at our discretion, send email and/or SMS text notifications to you on the status of your Wire Transfer request, or otherwise reach out to you verbally, although we are not required to do so.   At our discretion, we may also make notification preferences available for you to define, but these are for convenience only and we will have no liability if we fail to honor your preference selection or otherwise notify you.

           It is your responsibility to monitor your account for the status of your Wire Transfer.  You may use the Online Banking Service to view your account activity or you may contact us at 1.833.468.8356 if you have questions.

      9. Delay or Refusal to Process a Wire Transfer Request

         We reserve the right to extend the time within which a Wire Transfer is processed, and/or to reject a Wire Transfer request, for any reason and at our discretion.

      10. Wire Transfer Rules and Laws

   5. Processing Cut-Off Time

      We will start processing your Bill Payment request the same Business Day if we receive your request before the cutoff of time we establish. 

      • If we receive your Bill Payment request after the cutoff time, it will be processed on the following Business Day.
      
      

      Service Type	Cutoff Time
      Bill Payment Service	7:00 PM Pacific Time

   6. Payment Scheduling

      The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller will be designated within the portion of the Online Banking Website or Software through which the Bill Payment Service is offered when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the Bill Payment 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 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.   Although we will attempt to deliver the payment by the Scheduled Payment Date, we cannot guarantee delivery.

      Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period. Depending on the method of payment, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited prior to the Scheduled Payment Date. For example, if the selected method of payment is a draft, the draft arrives earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date due to expedited delivery by the postal service, and the Biller immediately deposits the draft, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date.

   7. Business Days for Bill Payments

      The business days for the Bill Payment Service are Monday through Friday, except for U.S. federal banking holidays.

      • Depending upon the scheduled payment date and the payment method selected, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date.

   8. Bill Payment Service Additional Terms

      1. Description of Service

         • The term “Bill Payment Terms” means these Bill Payment Additional Terms. The Bill Payment service (for purposes of these Bill Payment Terms, and the general Bill Payment terms, the "Bill Payment Service") enables you to receive, view and pay bills from our Online Banking Website or Software.

      2. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance

         • By providing the Bill Payment Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Bill Payment Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through our Online Banking Website or Software. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Bill Payment Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.

           When the Bill Payment Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Bill Payment Service to debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Bill Payment Service to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments returned to the Bill Payment Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Payment Service.

           The Bill Payment Service will attempt to make all your payments properly. However, the Bill Payment Service shall incur no liability if the Bill Payment Service 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 Bill Payment Service, your Eligible Transaction 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 Bill Payment Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;

           • You have not provided the Bill Payment Service with the correct Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,

           • Circumstances beyond control of the Bill Payment Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Bill Payment Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

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

      3. Payment Cancellation Requests

         • You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the portion of the Online Banking Website or Software website through which the Bill Payment Service is offered. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Bill Payment Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.

      4. Stop Payment Requests

         • The Bill Payment Service’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared.  The Bill Payment Service 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 transfer that has already been processed, you must contact us as instructed in the In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Electronic Transactions for Consumers Section of this Agreement. Although the Bill Payment Service will attempt 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 stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in our fee schedule (please refer to the Bank’s Fee Schedule for fee information).

      5. Exception Payment Requests

         • Exception Payments may be scheduled through the Bill Payment Service, however Exception Payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Bill Payment Service be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of Exception Payments.

      6. Bill Delivery and Presentment

         • The Bill Payment Service includes a feature that electronically presents you with electronic bills from select Billers. Electronic bills may not be available from all of your Billers. Electronic bills are provided as a convenience only, and you remain solely responsible for contacting your Billers directly if you do not receive their statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Bill Payment Service's electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:

           • Presentation of electronic bills – You will receive electronic bills from a Biller only if both: (a) you have designated it in the Bill Payment Service as one of your Billers, and (b) the Biller has arranged with our Service Provider to deliver electronic bills.  The Bill Payment Service may then present you with electronic bills from that Biller if either: (1) you affirmatively elect online within the Bill Payment Service to receive electronic bills from the Biller, or (2) the Biller chooses to send you electronic bills on a temporary “trial basis.” In either case, you can elect online within the Bill Payment Service to stop receiving electronic bills from a Biller.  Electing to receive electronic bills, automatically receiving trial electronic bills, and declining further elected or trial electronic bills all occur on an individual Biller basis. The Bill Payment Service does not include an option to prevent ever participating in the automatic trial electronic bill feature. When affirmatively electing to receive electronic bills from a particular Biller, you may be presented with terms from that Biller for your acceptance.  We are not a party to such terms

           • Paper Copies of electronic bills – If you start receiving electronic bills from a Biller, the Biller may stop sending you paper or other statements.  The ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller.  Check with the individual Biller regarding your ability to obtain paper copies of electronic bills on a regular or as-requested basis.

           • Sharing Information with Billers – You authorize us to share identifying personal information about you (such as name, address, telephone number, Biller account number) with companies that you have identified as your Billers and which we have identified as offering electronic bills for purposes of matching your identity on the Bill Payment Service’s records and the Biller’s records to (a) activate your affirmative request for electronic bills, and/or (b) confirm your eligibility for “trial basis” electronic bills.  

           • Information held by the Biller – We are unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses, that is held by the Biller. Any changes will require you to contact the Biller directly.  Additionally it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill.  We may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller for purposes of the Biller matching your identity against its records or informing you about the Biller’s services and/or bill information.

           • Activation - We will notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing information.  The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. While your electronic bill feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.

           • Authorization to obtain bill data. You authorize us to obtain bill data from your Billers that you have requested to send you electronic bills, and from your Billers that wish to send you trial electronic bills. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.

           • Notification – We will attempt to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Bill Payment Service, we 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 Payment Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.

           • Cancellation of electronic bill notification – The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time by accessing the feature within our Online Banking Website or Software. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. We will notify your electronic Biller(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. We 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 us harmless should the Biller 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 Biller directly.

           • Accuracy and dispute of electronic bill – We are not responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). We are only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be directly addressed and resolved with the Biller by you.

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

         You further agree that you will not use the Mobile Deposit Service to deposit any of the following:

         • Checks payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., payable to another party and then endorsed to you).
         • Checks payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the account.
         • Checks that contain evidence of alternation, or that 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.
         • International checks (i.e., not drawn on a U.S. financial institution).
         • U.S. Savings Bonds, U.S. Postal Service Money Orders, remotely created checks (whether in paper form or electronically created), and cash.
   8. Mobile Deposit Service Additional Terms
      1. Image Requirements

         • Each image must provide all information on the front and back of the original check at the time it is presented to you by the drawer, including, but not limited to, information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the original check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the original check and any endorsements applied to the back of the original check.

           The image quality must meet the standards established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

      2. Endorsement Requirements

         • Endorsements must be made on the back of the original check within 1 ½ inches of the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside of this space. Your endorsement must include your signature and the words “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY”. A check payment to you and another joint account holder, if applicable, must be endorsed by both payees.

           Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

      3. Receipt of Deposit

         • All images processed for deposit through the Mobile Deposit Service will be treated as “deposits” under the terms of the Bank’s Deposit Agreement, which governs your deposit account relationship with us. When we receive an image, you can request a confirmation email. Confirmation of receipt by us does not mean that the image was received error free. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

           Following receipt, we may process the image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an image.

           We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any image for remote deposit into your account. We will notify you of rejected images.

      4. Original Checks

         • After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original check for 14 calendar days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you agree to deliver to us within 5 calendar days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If you fail to deliver the requested original check to us in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account.

           Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of an original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check.

      5. Check Safekeeping Guidelines
         • Mobile Deposit Service users are required to retain the original checks in a secure place. We also recommend you write on the front of the check: "Mobile deposit on DATE” (where DATE is the full date you deposited the check by Mobile Deposit).
      6. Check Retention Guidelines
         • Mobile Deposit Service users are required to retain the original paper items, for 14 calendar days, after they have been transmitted to the Bank (“Retention Period”). This provides sufficient time for research in case there is an issue with the image quality or if the original item is required for any other reason. During this time, the paper items should be stored in a secure place (See Section 7.e. Check Safekeeping Guidelines of the Mobile Deposit Service Section of this Agreement). After the retention period, the original paper items should be destroyed to ensure they are not accidentally deposited again (See Section 7. g. Check Destruction Guidelines of this Mobile Deposit Service Section of the Agreement).
      7. Check Destruction Guidelines

         • Mobile Deposit Service users are required to securely and irretrievably destroy the original paper items after the retention period (refer to the Check Retention Guidelines, above). A cross-cut or diamond shredder will assist in complete destruction of check information. Do not leave deposited items lying around, and do not put deposited items in trash or recycle containers, unless they have been shredded first.

           You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.

      8. Returned Deposits

         • Deposits made using the Mobile Deposit Service will be provisionally credited to your eligible account. You agree that if an original check deposited through the Mobile Deposit Service is subsequently dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or is rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image, that we may charge back the amount of the original check to your account and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check.

           You agree to reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to redeposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.

           We may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.

      9. Return Check Fees

         Although use of our Mobile Deposit Service is currently provided at no charge to you, other fees, such as returned check deposit fees, may apply to your use of this service (please refer to the Bank’s Fee Schedule for information on fees that may apply).

         We may, upon prior notice to you and to the extent required by applicable law, charge a fee for use of the Mobile Deposit service.

      10. Your Warranties

          You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each image:

          • Each image is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the check has no defense against payment of the check.

          • There are no other duplicate images of the original check.
          • The original check was authorized by the drawer in the amount stated on the original check and to the payee(s) stated on the original check.
          • You are authorized to enforce and obtain payment of the original check.

You agree that files and images transmitted to us will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.

      11. Disclaimer of Warranties

          • You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your mobile device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed.

            It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You will notify us immediately by telephone if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks.

            You will ensure the safety and integrity of original checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction.

Stop Payments Orders (checks drawn on East West Bank)

If a check written on your account has not yet been paid, you may be able to prevent the check from being paid by initiating a Stop Payment order.  Online Banking access to our check Stop Payment order service is currently available via our Mobile Banking Service only, however, at our discretion, it may be made available in the future on our browser-based Online Banking Service or other device.  Regardless of how you access our check Stop Payment Service, the same terms and conditions will apply.

In order to process your request you must provide us, as requested, with the account number, exact amount (dollars and cents), check number(s) and any other information we deem necessary in order to process your request. If you provide us with any incorrect information or do not give us sufficient time to act on your stop payment request, we will not be responsible for our failure to stop payment of the check(s).

Check Stop Payment orders initiated using our Online Banking Service are not considered accepted until we provide a stop payment confirmation to you. The ability to place a stop payment through our Online Banking Service may be limited by system availability.  If the system is not available to accept your check Stop Payment order, the stop payment order may be placed by contacting us by phone or in person during normal business hours.

Our records will be conclusive evidence of the existence and details of any stop payment initiated by you.

If you choose to place a stop payment by calling us, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after your call. An oral stop-payment order may cease to be binding after fourteen (14) days if you fail to provide a required written confirmation upon request by the Bank.

A fee may be charged for each check Stop Payment order or renewal thereof. (please refer to the Bank’s Fee Schedule for fee information).  

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless (to the extent of the law) from all costs, (excluding attorney's fees) actions, damages, claims and demands related to or arising from our action in stopping payment on a check or our failure to stop payment on a check.
