Coulee Bank's Internet Banking transmits data Using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your browser and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator on your web browser can verify this. Microsoft Internet Explorer has a lock symbol that appears in the address bar when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure.

Coulee Bank's web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through this firewall, which screens the requests and allows only valid http traffic to reach the server. Coulee Bank's Internet Banking makes use of an ICSA certified firewall.

You may initiate individual bill payments and may pre-authorize recurring bill payments.
   2. Authorization. You agree that we may treat any bill payment that was initiated though Coulee Bank online banking by you or by any other person who is authorized to use your password the same as your duly executed written payment order or check, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your deposit agreement with us. If you are a business and an authorized representative of yours uses your Bill Payment service to pay bills which are not yours, you assume the entire risk of loss and indemnify and hold us, our directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from all loss, liability, claims, demands, judgments and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with such use. The Bank does not have any duty to monitor payments made through the Bill Payment service.
   3. Time of Bill Payments. Each bill payment must be initiated a certain number of business days before the business day that you want the bill payment to be made (the 'Payment Date'). This number of business day is referred to as the 'lead time'. The first time you initiate a bill payment for a specific payee, the lead-time will be ten (10) business days. Thereafter, the lead-time for the payee will be four (4) business days for electronic payments and ten (10) business days by check, as noted on your online payee list. If you initiate a bill payment before two (2:00) p.m. Central Time on a business day, the bill payment will be deemed initiated on that business day. If you initiate a bill payment after two (2:00) p.m. Central Time on a business day, or on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the bill payment will be deemed initiated on the next business day. You should schedule each bill payment to be made prior to the due date of the bill payment. If you do not schedule a bill payment on time or if you do not otherwise initiate a bill payment properly, you will be solely responsible for any late charges, finances charges, or other costs resulting from failure to make the bill payment on time. You will be solely responsible for all inputting errors.
   4. Checks. If the payee cannot or will not accept a bill payment by electronic fund transfer from the Service Provider, a check will be drawn on the Payment Account for payment to the payee. The check will be signed by the Bank or its representative, and will not be signed by you; however, you agree that any check issued in this manner to make a bill payment initiated in accordance with this Section will be deemed authorized and may be paid by the Bank from the Payment Account.
   5. Returned or Rejected Bill Payments. If a bill payment is returned or rejected, whether by the Bank, the Service Provider or any third party (including, without limitation, an intermediary bank or the payee's bank), then either the Bank or the Service Provider will notify you and you will be solely responsible for re-initiating the bill payment. You agree to furnish to the Bank and/or the Service Provider such information as it may request to resolve any error or inquiry arising out of your initiation of any bill payment(s).

You may review, change or cancel bill payments online without an additional charge until two (2:00) p.m. Central Time on the business day before the Processing Date by following the instructions in the Software. The Processing Date is the Payment Date minus the lead-time described in paragraph C of this Section. On and after the Processing Date, you may stop payment of a scheduled payment by contacting Coulee Bank online Customer Service (info@couleebank.net) or by visiting any Coulee Bank branch office (see locations and contact information at the end of the agreement). However, you must call or visit the Bank at least three business days before the scheduled Payment Date. If you call, we will also require you to put your request in writing and deliver it to us no later than fourteen days after you call. We will charge you the fee set forth in our current Fee Schedule for each stop payment order you give. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Section, stop payment orders will be subject to the applicable provisions of our Rules and Regulations governing Deposit Accounts (the "Rules and Regulations"). You may not stop payment of any type of online transfer other than a bill payment. You may revoke your authorization for future recurring bill payments by deleting the bill payment instructions, as provided in the Software, by notifying the Bank, or by canceling the bill payment service. If you order us to stop a bill payment 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.
   7. Inconsistent Name and Number Appearing in a Bill Payment Order. If a bill payment initiated by you describes the intended recipient of funds inconsistently by name and account number, you agree that payment by the receiving bank (which may be the Bank) may be made on the basis of the account number alone even if that account is not owned by the person named in the bill payment. If a bill payment identifies an intermediary bank or the payee's bank inconsistently by name and identifying number, you agree that we may rely solely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary bank or the payee's bank even if it identifies a bank different from the bank identified by name. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that your obligation to pay us the amount of the bill payment will not be excused in any circumstance described above and that you will reimburse us for any losses or expenses we incur as a result of our reliance of the identifying number provided in the bill payment.
9. Person-to-Person Payments (P2P). P2P payments is a consumer product only and not available for business accounts.  You have the ability to send real-time person-to-person payments using the recipient’s name and email address.  The service also allows you to receive payments sent by other individuals.  This is a one-time payment feature and cannot be used for setting up recurring payments.
   
   Unauthorized use of the P2P system is strictly prohibited and is subject to prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and Title 18, U.S. Code §§ 1001 and 1030. We may monitor and audit usage of this system. You are hereby notified that the use of this system constitutes consent to such monitoring and auditing.
   
   Transfers you make from a savings account through the P2P service may be subject to limits on the number of transfers that you can make within a calendar month or statement cycle. These transactions limitations are disclosed in our Truth in Savings disclosure.
   1. Description of P2P Service. If you have a Coulee Bank debit card, you may use iPay’s P2P service to send one-time transfers of funds to recipients with accounts at domestic financial institutions. You may originate P2P transfers by use of a computer or mobile device. To give notice to the recipient of a pending transfer you must provide the recipient's email address or mobile phone number. You may transfer funds to any account in the United States as long as the transfer is legal and allowed by both the sending and receiving financial institutions.
   2. Representations, Consent and Authorization. If you have a Coulee Bank debit card, you will automatically be registered for the P2P service when you enroll in Online Banking. By participating in the P2P service, you are representing to the Bank that: you are the owner or you have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the mobile phone number or email address you are using to send or receive messages regarding P2P transfers; and, you have obtained the consent of the recipients of your intended transfers. You are also consenting to the receipt of emails or automated text messages from the Bank or the service provider regarding the P2P transfers, and you are authorizing us to debit your account to complete any transfer you request. If you are receiving funds, you authorize us to credit your account using card networks/switches or the ACH network.
   3. Eligibility. You must have a Coulee Bank debit card to use this service to send funds to a recipient. Any individual 18 or more years old with an account in the United States who may receive debit card or ACH transactions may receive funds that you transfer as a sender. Other restrictions and eligibility requirements apply as described in other sections of this Agreement or in other Coulee Bank disclosures. By using the site or the P2P service, you represent that you meet these requirements.
   4. Transfers. You, as sender, may make one-time transfers by first selecting the debit card number linked to the personal account from which you wish to make the payment. You must also provide the recipient's email address or mobile phone number, which the service uses to notify the recipient of a pending transfer. If the sender and recipient are both Bank customers, transfers will immediately be debited from the sender's account and reflected in the recipient's account upon acceptance. If the sender and recipient are customers of different financial institutions, transfers will be debited immediately from the sender's account and will be delivered to the recipient's financial institution once the transfer is accepted by the recipient. The recipient must accept the transfer within 10 days, or the transfer will be cancelled and reversed. Once the recipient successfully accepts the transfer, the funds will be sent to the recipient's financial institution for deposit to the recipient's account. We are not responsible for any failure of another financial institution to timely credit its customer's account.
      
      You acknowledge and agree that transfers will be completed using only the email address or mobile phone number for the recipient that you enter even if it identifies a person different from your intended recipient. Any name you select in the drop down menu will help you identify your intended recipient and display your prior transaction history, but it will not be used to process payments. You must accurately enter the recipient's email address or mobile phone number for each transfer. If you make an error in the information you enter, you are still obliged to pay for the transfer and related fees, if any.
      
      Payment instructions you send relating to external accounts, and the transmission and issuance of data related to such payment instructions, are subject to the terms of this Agreement, the NACHA Rules and any additional rules of the applicable automated clearing house, as well as the rules of any applicable EFT networks utilized to automate the transfer of funds and governed by federal Regulation E (collectively, the "Rules"). You agree to be bound by such Rules as are in effect and revised from time to time. In accordance with such Rules, any funds credited to an account in a P2P transfer shall be provisional until the third party financial institution that holds the recipient's account has finally settled such credit.
      
      It is the responsibility of the sender and recipient of funds to provide accurate information. You agree that as sender you are authorized to withdraw funds from the accounts associated with the debit card number you are providing. You authorize us or our service provider, directly or through third parties, to make any inquires considered necessary to validate your identity. This may include asking you for further information, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments, ordering a credit report, and/or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources.
      
      You authorize us to debit your account to complete any payment instructions you initiate and pay any fees associated with a P2P transfer.
   5. Sender Acknowledgment. By transferring funds through the P2P service, you authorize us or our service provider to send an email or text message instructing the recipient how to receive the funds that you are sending. You further authorize any recipient of this message to act on the payment instructions to receive the funds you are sending. You acknowledge that any party receiving the email message at the email address you provide, or text message at the mobile phone number you provide, may obtain the funds you are sending, regardless of whether they are your intended recipient.
      
      You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for determining the identity of the party who receives the email or text message and acts upon the email or text message in connection with your payment instructions. You also acknowledge that the funds may not reach the intended recipient because of errors made by you or the recipient, and you could lose all the funds that are transferred. The funds that are credited to the recipient account cannot be recalled by us. If you suspect that you have entered information incorrectly, call Coulee Bank immediately and we may be able to cancel the transfer. However, we have no obligation to attempt to cancel the transfer or to reimburse funds that were transferred according to your payment instructions.
      
      We may reject any payment instructions you initiate. In addition, if there is an error in the payment instructions, the transfer may automatically reject. If that occurs, the funds will be re-deposited back to your account and both you and the recipient will receive an email notification. We may terminate your use of this service for any reason including for attempting to make transfers with insufficient funds in your account.
   6. Transfer Limitations. You may transfer up to $500.00 per P2P transaction. You may transfer only $1,500.00 in one day. We may modify the amount and frequency of transfers at any time for security reasons or due to your account activity. In addition, the receiving financial institution may have limits on the number and type of transfers allowed.
   7. Fees. There are no fees for processing P2P transactions. Coulee Bank reserves the right to change at any time. Any fee, if applicable, will be removed from your account when the recipient accepts the transfer. Keep in mind that if you send multiple transfers in a day, each transfer may be subject to a separate fee.
      
      When you initiate a P2P transfer, funds are transferred from the account to which your debit card is linked. If this account has insufficient funds to cover a transfer we may reject the transfer, pay it into overdraft (if you have opted in to our basic overdraft service), or, if you have elected our premium overdraft service, we may transfer funds from your linked savings or line of credit account to cover the overdraft. You will be responsible for any resulting NSF, overdraft or transfer fees that apply to your account.
      
      Please note that your mobile carrier may charge you a fee for text messaging. Please check your mobile service agreement for details on applicable fees.
   8. Timing of Transfers. We will debit your account immediately for P2P transfers you initiate. However, the timing of the receipt of funds by the recipient will depend on when the recipient responds to the email and when the recipient's financial institution posts the transfer to the recipient's account, which is dependent on what the receiving financial institution considers a business day.
   9. Issues Affecting the Posting of Transfers. A number of events may affect the timing or success of a transfer reaching the intended recipient. Such events may include, but are not limited to, errors you or the recipient make in entering information, such as inaccurate account or card number information, delays in posting by the receiving financial institution, acts of God, and ACH or card network interruptions. If we believe a transfer may be illegal, we may decline or reverse the transfer. The receiving financial institution may choose not to post or to delay posting a transfer. We are not responsible for any delays in the transfer of funds or the posting of funds to the recipient's account.
      
      Financial institutions have rules and regulations that govern their accounts. Some of these regulations may not allow an incoming electronic transfer of funds. For example, a receiving financial institution may not allow electronic transfers directly into an IRA account. You are responsible for ensuring that P2P transfers are allowed for the account of any recipient you designate. We are not responsible for any action or lack of action taken by the receiving financial institution that delays, inhibits, or prevents the posting of a transfer to the intended Recipient's account.
   10. Security. If you use this service you acknowledge that you will be providing information to our service provider from your mobile phone, tablet or computer in order to effect a transfer. If the receiving financial institution contacts us for information regarding your account that was used to send a P2P transfer, you authorize us to discuss the transfer and the account information you have provided in connection with the transfer.

You agree to repay promptly any amount credited to your account in error, and you authorize us to initiate a debit transfer to any account to obtain payment of any erroneous credit.
15. Account Reconciliation. The Deposit Account statements or other notices provided to you by us will notify you of (a) the execution of bank transfers or bill payments and the debits to the Deposit Account made with respect to such bank transfers and bill payments, and (b) amounts debited by the Bank from the Billing Account or any other account for payment of the services or other charges pursuant to this Agreement. You agree that we will not be required to provide any other notice to you of the execution of bank transfers, bill payments, or debits. You agree to promptly examine each statement for a Deposit Account and to promptly report any discrepancies between your records and the Deposit Account statements or any other notices mailed by the Bank to you, as provided in Section 17.
16. Settlement of Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize us to obtain payment of your obligations to us under this Agreement from time to time by (a) initiating debit or credit transfers to any of the accounts or (b) deducting the payment from the amount of any bank transfer or bill payment. When any payment or other online service generates items to be charged to your account, you agree that we many debit the designated account, or the account on which the item is drawn, without requiring your signature on the item and without any notice to you. Such obligations include, without limitation; fees owed to us and settlement for bank transfers or bill payments initiated through Coulee Bank online banking.

Debiting an account or deducting payment from the amount of any bank transfer or bill payment is not the Bank's exclusive remedy under this or any other section of this Agreement, and the Bank will not be deemed to have made an election of remedies by making any such debit or deduction on any one or more occasions.

    - If the electronic fund transfer would go over the credit limit on any check overdraft protection line of credit account linked to the Deposit Account.

    - If circumstances beyond our control, such as an act of God, failure, delay, or error on the part of any third-party service provider (including, without limitation, the Service Provider, the United States Postal Service or any other delivery service), power outage, difficulty with telephone or cable lines or satellite communications, difficulty with any Hardware, the Software, or the Service Provider, computer virus or related problem, or cessation of the operation of the Service Provider or the arrangement between the Bank and the Service Provider, prevent or delay the electronic fund transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

    - If your funds are being held or frozen or are subject to legal proceedings.

    - If the funds in the Deposit Account are unavailable (funds are only conditionally credited until they become available for withdrawal).

    - If your password has been reported lost or stolen or if we have any other reason to believe that an electronic fund transfer may be erroneous or unauthorized.

    - If you, any joint holder, or an authorized cosigner on a Deposit Account has requested that we stop payment of the electronic fund transfer.

    - If you have exceeded the limitations on the number of withdrawals or transfers allowed during the statement period for the type of Deposit Account you have with us (e.g., certain types of savings accounts, including money market deposit accounts).

    - If the Deposit Account has been closed.

    - If we do not receive the necessary transfer information from you or any third party, or if such information is incomplete or erroneous when received by us.

    - There may be other exceptions stated in this or any other applicable agreement that we may have with you.

18. Limits on Bank's Liability. Our liability for electronic fund transfer made to or from Deposit Accounts is also governed by Sections 15 and 17. If any provision herein is inconsistent with any provision of Section 15 or Section 17 or any provision of applicable law that cannot be varied or waived by agreement, the provisions of those Sections or applicable law shall control. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or claim arising out of any delay or failure in the performance of any Coulee Bank online service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, that resulting from your negligence. Our duties and responsibilities to you are strictly limited to those described in this Agreement, except with respect to any provisions of the law applying to electronic fund transfers that cannot be varied or waived by agreement. In no event will the Bank be liable for any consequential, special, or punitive damages or for any indirect loss that you may incur or suffer in connection with the service (even if the Bank has been informed of the possibility of such damages), including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. The Service Provider is an independent contractor and not the Bank's agent. The Bank's sole duty shall be to exercise reasonable care in the initial selection of the Service Provider. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS MADE BY THE BANK WITH RESPECT TO ANY COULEE BANK ONLINE SERVICE OR THE SOFTWARE, AND THE BANK HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES. The only warranties are those provided by the licensor of the Software and set forth on the Software package. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable at any time to you or any other person for any loss, charge, fee, penalty, expense or other damage resulting from any failure or delay of the performance of the bank's responsibilities under this Agreement which is caused or occasioned by any act or thing beyond the Bank's reasonable control, including, without limitation, legal restraint, interruption of transmission or communication facilities, equipment failure, electrical or computer failure, war, emergency conditions, acts of God, fire, storm, or other catastrophe, or inability to obtain or delay in obtaining wire services or Internet access, or refusal or delay by the Service Provider or another bank or financial institution to execute any bank transfer or bill payment. In addition, the Bank shall be excused from any failure or delay in executing a bank transfer or bill payment, if such execution would result in the violation of any applicable state or federal law, rule, regulation or guideline. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that the Bank shall not have any liability whatsoever for any loss caused by the act, error, or omission of you or any other person, including, without limitation, the Service provider, any Internet access service provider, any federal reserve bank or transmission or communications facility or any intermediary or receiving financial institution, and no such person shall be deemed the Bank's agent.
19. Your Liability for Unauthorized or Erroneous Transfers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for all unauthorized or erroneous transactions initiated through Coulee Bank online banking if notification of unauthorized transaction is not submitted in a timely manner. You have the obligation to immediately notify the Bank if your password has been lost or stolen, or if someone has transferred funds from your account through Coulee Bank online without your permission (or is contemplating to do so). Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. The following provisions of this Section apply only to your liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers. An 'unauthorized electronic fund transfer' means an electronic fund transfer from a Deposit Account that is initiated by another person without your authority to initiate the electronic fund transfer(s) and from which you receive no benefit. The term does not include any Coulee Bank online electronic fund transfer that is initiated by a person to whom you furnished your password, unless you have notified us that electronic fund transfers by that person are no longer authorized and we have had reasonable opportunity to act on that notification. You could lose all the money in your Deposit Account, some or all of the money in any linked account, or up to your maximum overdraft line of credit if you have a check overdraft protection line of credit. If you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without permission. If we are not notified within two (2) business days, and we can prove we could have prevented someone from using the Online Banking ID and password without your permission, you could lose as much as $500. If your statement shows electronic fund transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) calendar days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we wil extend the time periods.
