You represent and warrant that Authorized Users have the appropriate authority to initiate transfers and request other services through use of the Service. You authorize us to act upon, and you agree to be bound by, any transaction, authorized or not, that is initiated with your Online Banking ID and password.

When performing a transfer, retain the confirmation number provided upon completion of the transaction. We shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. If this Agreement has been terminated;
  2. If, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your account (if applicable);
  3. If the Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Credit Union about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  4. If your Eligible Account is closed;
  5. If your computer, software, and/or telecommunication lines were not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transaction;
  6. If the transaction request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal;
  7. We have reason to believe that a transaction request may not be authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary; and/or
  8. If circumstances beyond control of the Service, our Service Providers, and the Credit Union (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

12. Documentation and Verification of Payments and Transfers

Information regarding transactions performed within the Service will be reflected on the account detail within the Service and your periodic statements.

13. Errors or Questions

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, you should notify us as soon as possible through one of the following methods:

  • E-mail us at memberservices@lancofcu.com;
  • Send a secure message through the Message Center;
  • Write to us at Lanco Federal Credit Union, 349 West Roseville Road, Lancaster, PA 17601.

If you think your statement is incorrect or you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement was sent to you on which the problem or error appears. You must:

  1. Tell us your name and relevant account number(s);
  2. Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and,
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) business days after your verbal notification. We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error. If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not provisionally credit your account. For errors regarding electronic transactions on new consumer accounts, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. We may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit a new account for the amount you think is in error. If it is determined there was no error, we will mail you a written explanation within three (3) business days after completion of our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation. We may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.

14. Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Online Banking ID or password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft limit, if applicable). If you tell us within two (2) business days after you discover your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.

If your periodic statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period at our sole discretion.

15. Limitation of Our Liability

The Credit Union will be deemed to have exercised all due care and to have acted reasonably if we act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and will be liable for loss sustained by you only to the extent such loss is caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Credit Union will have no liability for any loss or damage:

  1. Related to the actions of your authorized users;
  2. Resulting from any receiving financial institution’s failure to accept any payment or funds transfer request;
  3. Resulting from any delay in the performance of this Agreement, which is caused by an act of God, fire or other casualty, electrical or computer failure, delays or failure to act by any carrier, medium or agent operating between the Credit Union and third parties, or any other condition outside of our control.

16. Indemnification
