For your protection and for security purposes, we will not accept any change of e-mail address notices via e-mail. If you have not notified us in writing of any change of your e-mail address, you agree that your failure to provide us with a good e-mail address is the lack of ordinary care on your part. If we become aware that you are not receiving e-mail, we will send all notices, attachments and/or documents to you via U.S. Mail to your last address known to us.

Security

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts and you agree to promptly examine your eStatement for each of your Blue Grass Federal accounts as soon as you receive/access it. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your user ID and password. You understand that your user ID and password by itself or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Data transferred via eStatement is not encrypted. You acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Internet, or e-mail transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.

Password Security

For security reasons, we will require the use of an individualized password to gain access to your Blue Grass Federal statements. If you incorrectly enter your password three times you will be prevented from access to eStatements. If you are prevented access due to incorrect password, please contact us at 859-987-2543.

If anyone contacts you and requests this information, contact us immediately. You are responsible for keeping your logon password confidential.

Periodic Statements

Your eStatement will be dated the day of the e-mail notifying you of the availability of your eStatement (the “E-mail Date”). You must promptly access/review your eStatement and any accompanying items and notify us in writing within the applicable time period specified in your Account Agreement and Disclosure of any error, unauthorized signature, lack of signature, alteration or other irregularity. If you allow someone else to access/review your statement, you are still fully responsible to access/review the statement for any errors, unauthorized signatures, lack of signatures, alterations, or other irregularities.

you must notify us of any errors on your account statement(s) shall begin on the E-mail Date regardless of when you receive and/or open the eStatement.

Blue Grass Federal will charge a duplicate statement fee for providing this service. Review our current Service Fee Schedule to determine this amount www.bluegrassfederal.bank.

Withdrawal of Consent

Our telephone number and postal mail address are listed below in the section entitled “Communications between the Bank and You.”

Change in Terms

We may change any term of this Agreement at any time. If the change would result in increased fees for any bank service, or increased liability for you, we agree to give you notice at least 30 days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or our electronic fund transfer system. We will provide any required notice of the change in terms to you by e-mail or by postal mail. If advance notice of the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of the account or our electronic fund transfer system, we may notify you of the change in terms within 30 days after the change becomes effective. If there is more than one party to the account, notice to any one-account owner will be effective for all. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that the applicable deposit agreements and disclosures govern changes to fees applicable to specific accounts.

ONLINE BANKING AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURES

  1. Coverage. This Agreement applies to your use of Online Banking (“Internet Banking”), which permits you to access your accounts with Blue Grass Federal via the Internet for various banking services. This Agreement applies to all persons that are parties to the accounts. In this Agreement, the terms “you” and “your” refer to each owner of an account accessible by Online Banking, and the terms “us,” “we,” and “our” refer to Blue Grass Federal.
  2. Enrollment. Access to Internet Banking can be provided in one of two ways

Online: You may enroll for Online Banking via www.bluegrassfederal.bank to access your Blue Grass Federal accounts. During this process you will assign your access ID and password. Once you have completed the online enrollment process you will have access to your accounts and services offered by us.

In person: You may also complete the same online enrollment process for online banking in the branch during the new account opening process. All information is kept strictly confidential and is not released to non-related third parties except as permitted by law. Please refer to our Privacy Statement for more information.

  1. Your Responsibility. You are responsible for selecting all software, hardware and your Internet service provider and for any defect, malfunction or interruption in service or security due to hardware or software failure or your choice of an Internet service provider.
  2. Password. Your Password has the same effect as your signature authorizing transactions. You agree to keep your Password safe, and not to disclose or make your Password available to anyone other than authorized users of your accounts. Be advised that anyone to whom you disclose your Password and anyone who has access to your Password will have full access and presumed authority to the services you can perform with online banking, including full access to your accounts. We have no ability to limit any such person’s authority. If anyone uses your Password, you will be responsible for any transactions performed by that person.
  3. Security. We use a system of firewalls that serve as an immune system to protect our information applications from unauthorized intruders. Our computer operations specialists monitor this system for any indications of a breach. Additionally, we use and require you to use a browser that supports 128-bit encryption. And, we use an automatic “time out” system that will automatically log you off if, after 20 minutes of inactivity, you have not logged yourself off. As an added protection, we use a multi-layer authentication process. This process verifies your identity when you login from your registered computer or presents a multifactor authentication login when you login from an unregistered computer and lets you know that you are in BLUE GRASS FEDERAL’s internet banking site

Customer liability. If you do not see the Secure URL address when you access the Online Banking site from your registered computer, DO NOT ENTER YOUR PASSWORD, disconnect from the site immediately, or call us (see Section 6. Loss of Password or Event of Unauthorized Transfer). Tell us at once if you believe your Password has been lost, stolen or otherwise become available to an unauthorized person; or, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make. An immediate telephone call to us is the best way to reduce any possible losses. You could lose money in your accounts, including any credit line, if available. If you contact us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do NOT contact us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access your accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your paper or e-mail/electronic periodic statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed or e-mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost through transactions made after the 60 day time period 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 contacting us, we will extend the time periods.

  1. Loss of Password or Event of Unauthorized Transfer. If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission: call us during business hours (Monday- Thursday, 9:00am-5:00pm EST; Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm EST; Closed on Saturday and Sunday; at

  • view account information
  • internal and external transfer funds between your Qualified Accounts
  • schedule a recurring or future transfer between your Qualified Accounts
  • make payments out of your Qualified Accounts to your Blue Grass Federal loan accounts
  • schedule monthly payments out of your Qualified Accounts to your Blue Grass Federal loan accounts
  • request a Stop payment on an unpaid check
  • reorder checks

The term “Qualified Accounts” means any of your Blue Grass Federal checking accounts, or statement savings accounts. Subject to available funds, you may transfer funds through Online Banking in any amount.

  1. Processing Your Funds Transfer. We will process a funds transfer on the same day as your instructions if we receive your instructions before our Internet Banking cut-off hour of 9:00 p.m. EST (the “Cut-Off Hour”). If we receive your instruction after the Cut-Off Hour of that day, we will process the transaction no later than the Cut-Off Hour of the next day. If you schedule a funds transfer for a future date, we will process the transaction on that date. If you schedule a recurring funds transfer and the payment date does not exist in a month, the payment will be processed on the last day of that month or the business day previous to the scheduled date.
  2. Canceling funds Transfers. You may cancel or change a scheduled funds transfer by selecting and accurately completing the appropriate fields from the payment menu. Any instruction to cancel or change a funds transfer must be made by the Cut-Off Hour of the day prior to the date the transaction is to be processed. If you do not accurately complete the appropriate instructions prior to that time, the transaction will be processed. You should cancel all scheduled transfers before you discontinue using the Internet banking program.
  3. Overdrafts. When you schedule a funds transfer using online banking, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your account with us. We deduct the amount of your funds transfer from your account on the date we process your instruction. Each instruction to us to withdraw or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay from that account at that time or on a later date, if any, indicated in the instruction. We may charge these payments against your account even though the charge creates an overdraft, or we may refuse to make these payments if the charge would create an overdraft in your account. If your account becomes overdrawn, you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection with an overdraft line of credit, any overdraft will be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this Agreement.
  4. Limitations on Transfers. Under federal regulations, you may make no more than six preauthorized electronic funds transfers and telephone transfers, including online banking transactions, checks and point-of-sale transactions per month from your savings or money market deposit account. Of these six transactions, you are limited to no more than three transactions per month by check, draft, debit card or similar order (internet) to third parties. Each funds transfer through online banking from your savings or money market deposit account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you are permitted each month. However, payments to your loan accounts with us are not counted toward this limit for savings and money market deposit accounts.
  5. Fees. There is no charge to use Online Banking or to make internal transfers between your Blue Grass Federal accounts.
  6. Periodic Statements. Your Online Banking account activity will appear on your periodic account statement.
  7. External ACH Transfers: (Refer to Account to Account External Transfer Section)
  8. Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If you have given us all of the proper and timely instructions and have properly completed all fields required to process a transfer, and we do not complete that transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by our failure. However, there are some exceptions, including but not limited to, the following:

We will not be liable to you if,

  • Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  • The transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.

  • You have not properly followed the instructions for using Online Banking.

  • A legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.
  • Your account is closed, or if it has been frozen.
  • You, or anyone authorized by you, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement, unless otherwise prohibited by law, our sole responsibility for an error by us or third party provider in transferring funds will be to correct the error, but in no case will we be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with or in any way related to Online Banking.
