Loading Your Card You may add funds to your Card, called "value loading", at any time. Value will be "loaded" or added to the Card after it has been activated and the authenticity of the Card and/or "load" instruction has been verified. You can add ("reload") additional value to your Card in any of the following ways: (a) making a payment at your local ESL branch; (b) direct deposit to the Card through an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) funds transfer; or (c) visiting xxx.xxx or calling 000.000.0000 to initiate an ACH funds transfer from your designated funding account. A load or reload fee may apply for each load or reload. The minimum amount of the initial load and each reload transaction load is $1.00. The maximum amount of the initial cash load and each cash reload is $10,000.00 per transaction, with a total cumulative cash load/reload limit of $10,000.00 per day. The maximum amount of value that can reside on the Card at any time is $10,000.00. The number of loads on a Non-Personalized Card is limited to four reloads, including the initial load. Personalized Cards are limited to four reloads every seven calendar days. We may increase or decrease these limits from time to time in our sole discretion without prior notice to you. We will limit the number of Cards provided to you. We reserve the right to accept or reject any request to load or reload value to the Card at our sole discretion. With the exception of reloads performed through direct deposit, the Card may only be reloaded by the Cardholder. AN UNAUTHORIZED USER MAY NOT RELOAD FUNDS TO THE CARD. You can receive Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) direct deposits. You may provide your Card Account number for these deposits, but you agree not to provide your Card Account number to third parties to withdraw funds. If you are a party to an ACH entry, you agree to be bound by the rules and regulations of the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA") Operating Rules and Guidelines (collectively, the “NACHA Rules”), the rules of any local ACH, and the rules of any other system through which the entry is made. Provisional Payment. Credit we give you with respect to an ACH credit entry is provisional until we receive final settlement for that entry through a Federal Reserve Bank. If we do not receive final settlement, you agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with the entry, and the party making the payment to you via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry. Notice of Receipt. Under the NACHA Rules, which are applicable to ACH transactions involving your Card Account, we are not required to give next day notice to you of receipt of ACH item and we will not do so. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the account transaction history made available to you. Using Your Card/Features The maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per day is $2,500.00. The maximum value of your Card is restricted to $10,000.00. You may use your Card to purchase or lease goods or services wherever, in most instances, Visa Debit cards are accepted as long as you do not exceed the value available on your Card Account. Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you would use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and pay the remainder of the balance with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Card to the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping your Card, your Card is likely to be declined. If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser ("pay at the pump"), the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount up to $99.00 or more, even if the purchase amount is less than $99.00. If your Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds available, pay for your purchase inside with the cashier. A preauthorization amount will place a "hold" on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. It may take up to 24-hours for the hold to be removed. During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount. Depending on your remaining balance, the preauthorization could cause another subsequent purchase to be declined. To avoid a declined purchase, or a hold greater than the actual purchase amount, pay for your gas inside with the cashier. If you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% of the purchase amount or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. All transactions relating to hotels or car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds up to 30 days. If you use your Card to make a telephone call, you may be required to have a minimum available balance of greater than $15. If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You will not use your Card for online gambling or any illegal transaction. Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount in your Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. Except for Recurring Transactions (defined below), you do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of your Card. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to 30 days. You may use your Card for any Recurring Transactions. "Recurring Transactions" are transactions that you authorize to have automatically charged to your Card each month or other specified period with or without any further action on your part. Examples of merchants that may use Recurring Transactions include wireless carriers, internet service providers, health clubs, insurance companies that automatically charge monthly premiums, and cable TV services. If you have pre-authorized a third party to deduct Recurring Transactions, you can stop any of these payments. To stop a payment you must provide sufficient advance notice to the party that you authorized to debit your Card balance to allow that party to stop payment before the next payment is scheduled to be made. You may notify us by calling 000.000.0000, or writing to us at Cardholder Services P.O. Box 550578 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33355. If you notify us orally by telephone, we may require you to provide a written confirmation within 10 business days of your call. You must give us notice by any of these methods in time for us to receive your request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.
