Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may apply to your account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference.
Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By Third Parties: You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers between your account and the third party's account. These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. In some cases, your authorization can occur when the merchant posts a sign informing you of their policy. In all cases, the transaction will require you to provide the third party with your account number and financial institution information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your financial institution and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers. Examples of these transfers include:
Preauthorized credits - You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits (for example, from: U.S. Treasury,) to be accepted into your checking, savings or money market.
Preauthorized payments - You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your checking, savings or money market.
Electronic check conversion - You may provide your check to a merchant or service provider who will scan the check for the encoded financial institution and account information. The merchant or service provider will then use this information to convert the transaction into an electronic fund transfer.
Electronic returned check charge - You may authorize a merchant or service provider to electronically collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds.
Crescent 24 transactions - You may access your account by telephone using your account number(s), personal identification number (PIN), touch tone phone and First time users will need the last 4 digits of their SSN. to:

Currency Conversion - If you effect a transaction with your Debit Card in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard International Incorporated will convert the charge into an U.S. dollar amount. MasterCard International will use its currency conversion procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that issue MasterCard cards. Currently the conversion rate used by MasterCard International to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars for such transactions is generally either a government mandated rate or a wholesale rate determined by MasterCard International for the processing cycle in which the transaction is processed, increased by an adjustment factor established from time to time by MasterCard International. The currency conversion rate used by MasterCard International on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.

Limitations on frequency of transfers - In addition to those limitations on transfers elsewhere described, if any, the following limitations apply to your savings and money market account(s): Savings accounts are limited to 12 withdrawals per calendar quarter. Money Market accounts are limited to 6 preauthorized withdrawals per month. Only 3 of the 6 may be made by check, draft, debit card, or other similar order to a third party.

Periodic statements - You will get a monthly account statement from us for your checking account(s).
Savings statements are issued monthly if your account has non-electronic activity. If your savings account has only electronic activity your statement is issued quarterly. In any case, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so - If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here is how:
Call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure in time for us to receive your request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call.
Notice of varying amounts - If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.)
Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer - If you order us to stop one of these payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Liability for failure to make transfers - If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions in which we will not be liable.
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:
Consumer liability. (1) Generally, tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or code without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time period.
(2) Additional Limits on Liability for MasterCard(R) debit card, when used for point-of-sale transactions, You will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your MasterCard debit card, when used for point-of-sale transactions, if: i) you report the loss or theft of your card within 24 hours of when you discover the loss or theft, (ii) you can demonstrate that you have used reasonable care in safeguarding your card from the risk of loss or theft, (iii) you have not reported to us two or more incidents of unauthorized use within the prior twelve-month period, and (iv) your account is in good standing. If any of these conditions are not met, your liability is the lesser of $50 or the amount of money, property, labor, or services obtained by the unauthorized use before notification to us. 'Unauthorized use' means the use of your debit card by a person, other than you, who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use, and from which you receive no benefit. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions or to transactions using your personal identification number which are not processed by MASTERCARD.
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide tc do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you has an established account with us before the account is opened.
We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

This policy statement applies to "transaction" accounts. Transaction accounts, in general, are accounts which permit an unlimited number of payments to third persons and an unlimited number of telephone and preauthorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us. Checking accounts are the most common transaction accounts. Feel free to ask us whether any of your other accounts might also be under this policy.
Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before Monday through Friday, before close of business, on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Deposits made on Saturday's will be credited the next business day we are open. If you make a deposit at an ATM before noon on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit at an ATM after noon or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in one of your accounts. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.
If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay the availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.
Case-by-Case Delays - In some case, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first $100 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, after receiving your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the first business day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
Safeguard Exception Delays - In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
The delay for other check deposits depends on the routing number of the check:
| ___________ 20_____ | |
| Pay to the order of: ______________________________________________________ | |
| ___________________________________________________________________ dollars | |
| Bank Name and Location | _________________________ |
| 123456789 0000000000 000 | |
| Name of Company Address City state |
___________ 20_____ |
| Pay to the order of: ______________________________________________________ | |
| ___________________________________________________________________ dollars | |
| Bank Name and Location | _________________________ |
| 000000000 123456789 0000000000 000 | |
If the first four digits of the routing number (1234 in the examples above) are 0610, 2610, 0611, 2611, 0612, 2612, 0613, 2613, 0620, 2620, 0621, 2621, 0622, & 2622 then the check is a local check. Otherwise, the check is a non-local check. Some checks are marked 'payable through' and have a four- or nine- digit number nearby. For these checks, use the four-digit number (or the first four digits of the nine- digit number), not the routing number on the bottom of the check, to determine if these checks are local or non-local. Our policy is to make funds from local and non-local checks available as follows:
