Common use of HOW TRANSACTIONS ARE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT Clause in Contracts

HOW TRANSACTIONS ARE POSTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. There are two types of transactions in your account: credits, or deposits of money into your account; and debits, or payments out of your account. It is important to understand how each is applied to your account so you know how much money is available to you at any given time. This section explains generally how and when we post transactions to your account. • Credits. Most deposits are added to your account when we receive them. Credits to the account may include deposits such as cash, checks, ACH, and remittances. In some cases, deposited funds may not be made immediately available for use. Thus, the available balance may not reflect the most recent deposits into the account. For details on the availability of funds, see the Truth in Savings and Funds Availability Disclosure. • Debits. There are several types of debit transactions. The most frequent types of debit transactions are described generally below. Keep in mind that there are many ways transactions are presented for posting to your account and we are not necessarily in control of when transactions are received. • Checks. Most checks are processed through the Federal Reserve System. We receive data files of cashed checks from the Federal Reserve each business day. The checks drawn on your account are compiled from these data files and posted to your account each business day. We process these payments from low to high dollar value. • ACH Payments. We receive and process multiple data files throughout each business day from the Federal Reserve including ACH transactions. These also include automatic bill payments you have signed up for. Each file we receive is processed separately during each business day. Within each ACH data file, ACH debit transactions for your account are grouped together and posted in low to high dollar value. • Point of Sale (POS) Debit Card PIN Transactions. These are transactions in which you use your debit card to make a purchase and you enter your personal identification number (PIN) at the time of the sale. These types of debit card purchases are similar to ATM withdrawals because money is usually deducted from your account immediately (reducing your balance and your available balance) at the time of the transaction. However, some POS PIN transactions are not presented for payment immediately; it depends on the merchant. • Point of Sale (POS) Signature Debit Card Transactions. These are transactions in which you make a purchase with your debit card and you may be asked to sign for the purchase as you would with a credit card. These transactions include online purchases and other transactions in which you are not asked to enter your PIN at the time of the transaction (you may not be asked to sign for some transactions but they still would be considered signature transactions). As described above, the merchant in these situations may seek authorization for the payment. When that happens, we generally place a temporary hold against the available funds in your account. We refer to this temporary hold as an “authorization hold,” and the amount of the authorization hold will be subtracted from your available balance. Authorization holds are deducted from your available balance (but not your balance) as they are received by us throughout each day. At some point after you sign for the transaction (or conduct the transaction for transactions without your signature), the transaction is processed by the merchant and presented to us for posting to your account. This can happen hours, or sometimes days, after you signed for or conducted the transaction, depending on the merchant and its processing company. These payment requests are presented in real time throughout the day and are posted to your account as they are received. Please note: The amount of an authorization hold may differ from the actual payment because the final transaction amount may not yet be known to the merchant when the authorization request is submitted. For example, if you use your card at a restaurant, a hold may be placed in the amount of the bill presented to you, but when the transaction posts it will include any tip that you may have added to the bill. This may also be the case where you use your debit card at gas stations and hotels and certain other retail establishments. We cannot control how much a merchant asks us to authorize, or when a merchant submits a transaction for payment. The fact that we put an authorization hold on your available balance does not mean the authorization is set aside and made available to pay the specific transaction authorized. The hold is simply a reduction in your available balance based on the fact that we have authorized a transaction and are therefore obligated to pay the transaction when presented. Debit card transactions can be recurring or nonrecurring. Recurring transactions occur when you use your debit card to set up a recurring monthly or periodic payment, such as for a gym membership or insurance payment. Nonrecurring transactions are one-time or everyday transactions that are authorized each time you use your debit card. Using your debit card at a restaurant is an example of a one-time or everyday (nonrecurring) transaction. This is a general description of how certain types of transactions are posted. These practices may change and we reserve the right to pay items in any order we choose as permitted by law. We may receive multiple deposit and withdrawal transactions on your account in many different forms throughout each business day. This means that we may pay or reject multiple transactions when your account is overdrawn. The best way to know how much money you have is to record and track all of your transactions closely.
