Substitute Checks. You agree not to deposit any substitute check or similar item that you have created, or for which no financial institution has provided any substitute check warranties and indemnity. If you do so, you agree to indemnify us for all losses we incur in connection with the substitute check or item. You agree not to deposit any substitute check without our consent.
Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute check(s).
Substitute Checks. You agree not to deposit substitute checks, as described below, or checks bearing a substitute check legal equivalence statement (“This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.”) to your account without our prior written consent. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, our acceptance of such checks shall not obligate us to accept such items at a later time, and we may cease doing so without prior notice. If we approve the deposit of substitute checks, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from all losses, costs, claims, actions, proceedings and attorney’s fees that we incur as a result of such checks, including without limitation, any indemnity or warranty claim that is made against us because: (a) the check fails to meet the requirements for legal equivalence, (b) a claimant makes a duplicate payment based on the original check, the substitute check, or a paper or electronic copy of either; or (c) a loss is incurred due to the receipt of the substitute check rather than the original check. Upon our request, you agree to provide us promptly with the original check or a copy that accurately reflects all of the information on the front and back of the original check when it was truncated. You agree not to issue checks with features or marks that obscure, alter or impair information on the front or back of a check or that otherwise prevents us or another bank from capturing such information during automated check processing. We may convert original checks to substitute checks. The following notice applies to consumer accounts and supersedes, where inconsistent, other terms in this agreement with respect to substitute checks.

Substitute Checks. WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE CHECK? To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institu- tions to replace original checks with substitute checks. These checks are similar to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states, “This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.” A substitute check is a legal equivalent of the original check and may be used as proof of payment. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS REGARDING SUBSTITUTE CHECKS? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure to request a refund for losses suffered if a substitute check is incorrectly posted to an account. For example, a refund may be requested if the wrong amount was deducted from an account or if more than one deduction was made for the same check. Losses may include the amount withdrawn and any fees charged as a result of the withdrawal. Refunds are limited to the amount of the loss or the amount of the substitute check. Members may be entitled to dividends on the amount of the refund if the account is a dividend-bearing account. If the loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, additional amounts may be recovered under other law. If this procedure is used, the member may receive up to $2,500 of the refund (plus dividends if the account earns dividends) within 10 business days after the claim is received and the remainder of the refund (plus dividends if the account earns dividends) no later than 45 calendar days after the claim is received. We may reverse the refund, including any dividends on the refund, if we are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to the account. HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM FOR A REFUND? If you suspect that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check posted to your account, please contact Member One Federal Credit Union by writing to P.O. Box 12288, Roanoke, VA 24024 or by calling 000.000.0000 or 000.000.0000.

We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. CLAIMS MUST INCLUDE: • A description of the loss (for example, the amount withdrawn was incorrect). • An estimate ...

An electronic check can be used to create a substitute check since the electronic image and electronic information was derived from its paper form. REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE. Remote deposit capture ("RDC") allows you to make deposits to your account from remote locations by electronically transmitting digital images of your original paper checks, which are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions in United States dollars to us. We may then use the digital image to create an electronic check or substitute check for collection. If you use our RDC services, if applicable, we may require you to endorse the back of the paper check to indicate that it has been remotely deposited. For example, "for mobile deposit only" or "for mobile deposit at Central National Bank only." WITHDRAWALS. Deposits will be available for withdrawal consistent with the terms of the Disclosures. Withdrawals may be subject to a service charge. DEPOSITS. Deposits may be made in person, by mail, or in another form and manner as agreed by us in our sole discretion. We are not responsible for transactions mailed until we actually receive and record them. We may in our sole discretion refuse to accept particular instruments as a deposit to your account. Cash deposits are credited to your account according to this Agreement. Other items you deposit are handled by us according to our usual collection practices. If an item you deposit is returned unpaid, we will debit your account for the item.
Substitute Checks i. What Is a Substitute Check?
ii. What Are My Rights Regarding Substitute Checks?
Substitute Checks. For each original check that you deposit, you hereby authorize us (and any collecting institution, returning institution, Reserve Bank or processor which subsequently receives the original check) to create an electronic image (“check image”) of the original check, and to process that check image for collection, payment and return. You further authorize the destruction of the original check that has been imaged. We may in our sole discretion determine the manner in which to collect or return a check image. We may: (i) present or transfer the check image to the paying bank, a Federal Reserve Bank, a check clearing house, image exchange network, or other collecting bank or returning bank; or (ii) create a substitute check and collect such substitute check (governed by the Check Collection for the 21st Century Act referred to here as the “Check 21 Act”) instead of the check image. A check image or a substitute check may be collected through one or more check clearinghouses, one or more Federal Reserve Banks, or pursuant to an exchange agreement with another depository institution. In such cases, you agree that the check image or substitute check is subject to the rules of that clearinghouse, Federal Reserve Bank, or exchange agreement. You agree that we may debit your Account for any of the following items: (i) a check image of an original check drawn on your Account and presented for payment or collection, or (ii) a returned check image of an original check that was deposited by you. In these situations, we may debit your Account without receipt of, or review of, the original check associated with the check image. In our sole discretion, we may return to a presenting bank, returning bank or paying bank or post to your Account, a paper copy or paper representation of an original check (including without limitation an image replacement document or IRD, or a photocopy) drawn on or returned to your Account that does not otherwise meet the technical or legal requirements for a substitute check. You agree that a check image that is received or created by the Credit Union in the check deposit, collection or return process shall be considered a “check” and/or an “item” for all purposes under this Agreement and applicable law. In addition, a check that you deposit with us, or that you draw on your Account, may be truncated in the check collection process and replaced with a substitute check. You authorize us to pay, process or return a substitute check in the same man...
