Common use of Substitute Checks Clause in Contracts

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 Losses may include the amount withdrawn and any fees charged as a result of the withdrawal.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.

Substitute Checks. WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE CHECK? To make check processing fasterThe “Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act,” commonly known as Check 21, federal law permits took effect in 2004. It allows financial institu- tions institutions to replace original “truncate” clearing checks with substitute checks. These checks are similar to original checks with a slightly reduced by creating an electronic image of a check rather than using the original paper check. The electronic image is called a “substitute check.” The substitute check includes the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check statesand the legend, “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 As a legal equivalent result of Check 21, many checks you write will be processed electronically, with the result that checks you write can clear in a matter of minutes or hours, rather than days. You should not write checks intending to make deposits to cover them later unless you plan to rely on an Overdraft Protection Plan. You agree to notify us immediately upon the discovery of the original loss or theft of your checkbook or of any number of blank checks. We recommend, and reserve the right to require, that you close your account and re-open it under a new number because of the risk of unauthorized use of your account that arises after your checks have been out of your possession. To stop payment on any check before it has cleared your account, you must notify us orally, in writing, or by submitting a stop payment request through Online Banking or Mobile Banking and paying the required fee. We can require you to confirm any oral request in writing within 14 calendar days, or the oral stop payment request may lapse. A stop payment request submitted in writing or through Online Banking or Mobile Banking is valid for six months, after which it will lapse unless you renew it while it is still in effect. Stop payment requests will be used as proof processed promptly, but we will not be responsible for a check we pay within the first 24 hours after your request. You can request a stop payment form at any Mirastar branch or through the Call Center. Your stop-payment request must include your account number and your check number or the amount of your check. If the check number, account number, or dollar amount you give us is incorrect, our automated system may not be able to find the check or stop the payment. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS REGARDING SUBSTITUTE CHECKS? In We will not be liable for failing to stop payment if the information you provide us does not describe the check accurately enough for us to find and stop it. If we do not carry out a timely, accurate stop-payment instruction, we are not required to reimburse you if the check discharged your valid obligation. If we do reimburse you, you assign to us all claims against the person who cashed the check for the funds, and you agree to cooperate with our efforts to recover the funds. If you do not provide reasonably requested cooperation (such as refusing to assist in our pursuit of civil litigation against the person who cashed the check), we may deem the transaction to have been the result of your apparent consent and not credit your account. You can also stop payments on certain casestypes of EFTs, federal such as ACH payments and online bill payments, if you notify us in time. Refer to the “Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosure Statement” section of this Agreement for more information. Keep track of all deposit and withdrawal transactions on your accounts and all advances and payments on your loans. We will send you periodic statements covering all transactions on accounts and loans you maintain with Mirastar. We will have no liability or responsibility for communications that you do not retrieve or that are lost, damaged, or misdelivered by the U.S. Postal Service or other third-party delivery service. If you have an active Checking Account or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) activity, you will receive a monthly statement; otherwise, we send statements at least quarterly. You agree that delivery of a periodic statement to the member on an account or loan constitutes delivery of the statement to all owners of the account and all obligors on the loan. Promptly review and reconcile statements and other communications you receive from us and contact us if you have questions or concerns. You can also access your account information through our Online or Mobile Banking services. If you have a Checking Account or a credit line that allows you to write special checks to obtain loan advances, we do not send canceled checks with your periodic statement. When you opt-in to receive eStatements, we will notify you by email when eStatements and other notices, communications, and documents such as IRS tax statements, are available through your Online or Mobile Banking account for you to download. You can see what statements are available within the Online Banking and Mobile Banking platforms.

For example, a refund member might have a Savings and Checking Account with a Joint owner but an IRA under the member’s name only. We “bundle” periodic statements for many of our services, meaning that a single statement covers multiple accounts and loans maintained for a member. Bundled statements may be requested if addressed to the wrong amount was deducted from member or the member’s Agent at the address in our records. The member and all other owners of accounts maintained with the member and all other obligors on loans maintained by the member consent to the delivery of bundled statements, even though this may result in release of information about an account or if more than one deduction was made for loan to which the same check.
