  1. What This Agreement Covers
    • This Agreement is between each owner of an eligible account, a person applying for an eligible account, or authorized representative appointed or entitled to online access on another person’s behalf (“you” or “your”) and Bank of Whittier, N.A. (Bank of Whittier). This Agreement governs your use of any online or mobile banking services maintained by Bank of Whittier and accessible through www.bankofwhittier.com using a personal computer or a mobile device, including a smartphone, tablet, or any other eligible handheld or wearable communication device (the “Service(s)”).
    • Under the terms of this Agreement, you may use the Services to obtain financial products and services, access and view account information, and, for certain accounts, move money electronically and perform authorized transactions, for eligible Bank of Whittier consumer and small business accounts linked to the Service.
    • When used in the Agreement, the term “small business” includes sole proprietors, non-consumer business entities, and individual owners of the business, unless the context indicates otherwise. If you are a small business customer, additional or different terms and conditions applicable to the Services, as well as additional Services available exclusively to small business customers, are included in the Business Services Addendum, which is a part of this Agreement.
    • When you first set up your Online/Mobile ID, we will link all of your eligible Bank of Whittier, including joint accounts. If you open an additional eligible account at a later date, we will link your new account to the Service, unless you tell us not to do so. Unless indicated otherwise by the context, "linked Bank of Whittier accounts" or "linked accounts" refers to all of your accounts with Bank of Whittier and its affiliates that are linked to the Service.
    • When your Service is linked to one or more joint accounts, we may act on the verbal, written or electronic instructions of any authorized signer.

    • Your use of the Services may also be affected by your Deposit Agreement and Disclosures, including the applicable schedule of fees (“Deposit Agreement”), or other agreement with us for your linked Bank of Whittier accounts. When an account is linked to the Services, it does not change the agreements you already have with us or our affiliates for that account and you are still subject to the terms and conditions we gave you in the agreement and disclosure for the linked account. The terms and conditions for those account agreements, including any applicable fees, transaction limitations, liability rules and other restrictions that might impact your use of an account with the Services, are incorporated into this Agreement.

  1. Bill Pay for Checking or Money Market Accounts

    Bank of Whittier customers may use Bill Pay to make payments to companies or individuals (“Payees”) in the following manner:

    • Payments can be scheduled from linked checking or money market. accounts
    • Payments can be scheduled from a checking, money market or other consumer asset account maintained at another financial institution that you have added to Bill Pay. You certify that any account you add to Bill Pay is an account from which you are authorized to make payments, and any payment you make using Bill Pay will debit an account that you are legally authorized to use. When you add an account maintained at another financial institution, you do not change the agreements you have with that financial institution for that account. Please review those agreements for any applicable fees, limitations on the number of transactions you can make, and for other restrictions that might limit your use of the account with Bill Pay.
    • Payments can be entered as a one-time transaction up to a year in advance, recurring transactions or as payments that are automatically scheduled upon the receipt of an electronic bill (e-Bill).
    • Future scheduled or recurring payments that fall on a weekend or a non-business day will be processed on the prior business day.
    • You authorize us to make payments in the manner we select from the following methods:
      • Electronic transmission. Most payments are made by electronic transmission.
      • Corporate check – This is a check drawn on our account or the account of our vendor. If a Payee on a corporate check fails to negotiate the check within ninety (90) days, we will stop payment on the check and re-credit your account for the amount of the payment. If a corporate check is returned to you prior to the end of the ninety (90) day period, please inform us immediately so that we can stop payment on the check and re-credit your account.
      • Personal check – This is a check drawn on your account when it is presented for payment.
    • All payments under Bill Pay that are sent care of APO/FPO [Army Post Office / Fleet Post Office] or similar addresses will be sent by corporate or personal check. Because all such payments will be made by check, they will not be Remittance Transfers (as defined in section 6.F. of this Agreement).
    • Any obligations that you wish to pay through Bill Pay must be payable in U.S. dollars to a Payee located in the United States. We reserve the right to restrict categories of Payees to whom payments may be made using the Service.
    • We STROGLY recommend that you not use the Service to make:
      • Tax payments
      • Court-ordered payments
      • Payments to settle securities transactions
    • Scheduling Bill Payments
      • The scheduled delivery date is the date you enter for the payment to be delivered to the Payee. For payments made by electronic transmission or corporate check, the payment amount will be debited from the account that you designate on the scheduled delivery date. For payments made by personal check, the account you designate will be debited when the check is presented to us for payment which may occur before, on or after the scheduled delivery date.
      • Payments (other than payments to a Bank of Whittier Payee) initiated before 3:00 p.m. PT on a business day will be scheduled and begin processing on the same business day. Payments that are entered after this cut-off time or on a day that is a non-business day will be scheduled and processed the next bank business day.
      • For payments to a Bank of Whittier Payee, such as a vehicle loan, HELOC or mortgage, Bank of Whittier will process and credit the payment to the account effective the same business day, provided the payment is scheduled prior to the 3:00 p.m. PT cut-off. It may take up to 2 business days for these updates to be reflected in your account balances, funds availability, and transaction posting.
      • Customers would do payments from BOW accounts to BOW loans inside Retail Online, not in Bill Pay, as covered above.

    When you attempt to schedule a payment, we will inform you of the earliest available delivery date. To assure timely payment and obtain the full benefit of the Online Banking Guarantee described below, you must schedule payments, and your account must be in good standing and have sufficient available funds in the designated deposit account to cover the payment, at least five (5) bank business days before the payment due date, NOT the date after which late payment fees may be assessed.

    If an account does not have sufficient available funds on the scheduled date, we may elect not to initiate one or more of the transfers. If we do elect to initiate the transfer, which may involve one or more attempts on subsequent business days, despite the fact that Bank of Whittier does not offer an overdraft facility, it may cause an overdraft in your account in which case you shall be fully responsible for the overdraft and any Overdraft Item Fees, as set forth in your Deposit Agreement, as well as all late fees, interest charges or other action taken by the Payee. If an account has sufficient funds on the scheduled date and we initiate the transfer, but the account does not have sufficient funds when the payment posts to your account, we will not charge an insufficient funds fee to your deposit account, but you may incur late fees, interest charges or other action taken by the Payee.

    Under our Online Banking Guarantee, if we fail to process a payment in accordance with your properly completed instructions, we will reimburse you for any late payment fees. As indicated above, some payments may be made by a personal check. Since we can't predict the exact date that a personal check will be presented to us for payment, please make sure you have sufficient funds in your account beginning a few days before your scheduled delivery date and keep such funds available until the payment is deducted from your account.

    Bill Pay payments sent via corporate or personal check with different Payee names may be combined in one envelope if those payments have the same mailing address, and your intended Payee has not registered their full/unique mailing address with the USPS, including their secondary address designation, e.g., Suite, Room, Floor, Dept., Building, or Unit. If we need to, we’ll change or reformat your Payee account number to match the account number or format required by your Payee for electronic payment processing and eBill activation.

  2. E-Bills

    E-Bills is a feature of the Bill Pay Service that enables you to receive bills electronically from participating Payees

    • Approval of e-Bills Participating Payees establish their own criteria for reviewing requests to receive e-Bills and have sole discretion to accept or decline your request.
    • Accessing e-Bills from a Third Party In some cases we obtain the e-Bill from the web site of the Payee. To do so, we will ask you for information needed for this purpose, such as any required password. When you provide this information, you authorize us to access the third-party web site to retrieve the account information on your behalf, and you appoint us your agent for this limited purpose.
    • Timely Delivery of e-Bills. We take no responsibility if a Payee does not provide the necessary data to forward an e-Bill in a timely manner. If you do not receive an e-Bill, it is your responsibility to contact the Payee directly. We are not responsible for any late charges or other adverse consequences. Any questions regarding your e-Bill details should be directed to your Payee.
    • Stop e-Bills You or we can cancel the e-Bill service, or a particular e-Bill at any time. If you request that a particular e-Bill be discontinued, we require seven (7) business days for the Payee to receive and process the request. If an e-Bill from a Bank of Whittier Payee is canceled, any e-Bills previously delivered but not paid will be removed from your list of payable e-Bills.
    • Privacy When you request e-Bills from a participating Payee you may be asked to provide certain information that will be forwarded to the Payee to complete your enrollment. When you provide this information, you authorize us to share it with the Payee.
    • Introductory e-Bill Opportunity

  5. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks

    Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address or mobile phone number enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled.

    Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you by email.

    If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.

  6. Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks

    You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of this Service by you shall at all times be subject to (a) this Agreement, and (b) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us or another Network Bank to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.

    In most cases, when you are sending money to another user, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. During this period, and in any other circumstance when we need additional time to verify the transfer details, a hold will be placed on your account for the amount of the transfer. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolled as a User may fail to register with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur. If the person to whom you are sending money does not enroll, set up an email address or mobile number and accept the transfer within 14 days, the transfer will be canceled.

    The money may also be delayed, or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. We will notify you by email if we block a payment that you have initiated using the Service.

    We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.

  7. Liability

    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither we nor Zelle shall have liability to you for any transfers of money under the Service, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages. Neither we nor Zelle shall be liable for any typos or keystroke errors that you may make when using the Service.

    For information regarding your liability for unauthorized transactions, see section 7 of this agreement.

    THE ZELLE SERVICE IS INTENDED FOR SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND OTHERS WHOM YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE ZELLE TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. NEITHER WE NOR ZELLE OFFER A PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE (FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU PAID FOR, OR THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU RECEIVED ARE DAMAGED OR ARE OTHERWISE NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED).

  8. Requesting Money

    You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a payment request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

    By accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us, Zelle, our and their owners, directors, officers agents and Network Banks from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from or arising out of any request for money that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts.

    You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.

    We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

  9. Fees

    There is no fee charged for sending or receiving a transfer under the Service.

  1. General Information

    We provide four types of alerts:

    • General & Security Alerts are sent to you when important changes are made online to your account, such as changing your email or home address, telephone number, User ID or password, or unusual card activity.

      General and Security alerts are automatically activated and sent to your primary email address. If you choose, you may turn off General alerts, but not Security alerts.

    • Automatic Alerts provide you with important account notifications, such as information about a money transfer, insufficient funds, or availability of a paperless statement.

      Automatic alerts are automatically activated and sent to your primary email address only. You may not turn off Automatic Alerts.

    • Account Alerts allow you to choose optional alert messages for your accounts, such as payment reminders or transaction alerts for credit or debit card charges.

      You must select and activate account alerts; you can turn off account alerts at any time.

    • Personalized insights and guidance to help manage your finances which are sent through Mobile app push notifications. Insights are automatically activated; you can turn off insights at any time.

      Alerts are subject to the following:

      • We may add new alerts from time to time or cancel old alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel alerts but are not obligated to do so. Because alerts are not encrypted, we will never include your full account number. However, alerts may include your name and some information about your accounts, such as your account balance or due date. Anyone who has access to your messages could view the alert information.
      • Alerts will be sent to the email address you have provided as your primary email address for online banking. For General & Security and Account Alerts, you can also choose to have these sent to a secondary email address, a mobile device that accepts text messages or a mobile device that can receive our Mobile App Alerts through a push notification system. You can control mobile Push notification delivery within the Bank of Whittier mobile app. If your email address or your mobile number changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. While Bank of Whittier does not charge for the delivery of the alerts, please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your carrier.
      • We do our best to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information, but alerts may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors beyond our control (such as system failures or misdirected delivery). We don't guarantee the delivery or accuracy of alerts. You agree that we are not liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert; for any errors in the content of an alert or for any actions taken or not taken by you or a third party as the result of an alert.
  2. Mobile Text Alerts
    Online Banking Alerts via Text Message
    • You have the option of adding a mobile phone number to your online banking profile. By adding a mobile phone number to your online banking profile, you are certifying that you are the account holder for the mobile phone account or have the account holder's permission to use the mobile phone number for online banking. You are also consenting to receive online banking Alerts using auto-dialer technology and to receiving text messages. Text message fees may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.
    • You can text STOP to 99588 at any time to stop SMS text alerts that you activated on the Alerts Settings pages. Alerts sent to your primary email address won’t be affected by this action. To restore text alerts, go to the Alerts Settings pages and reactivate the alerts. For help with SMS text alerts, send the word HELP to 99588.

    OR

    • Write us at:
    • Bank of Whittier
      15141 East Whittier Boulevard
      Whittier, CA 90603

    Contact us immediately if you think:

    • Your statement or transaction record is wrong
    • You need more information about a transaction listed on your statement
    • An unauthorized person has discovered your Online Banking password
    • Someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission
    • We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we have sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared (or 90 days if the problem or error relates to a transfer from an account maintained at another financial institution). Please see section 7B below regarding reporting an error involving an unauthorized transaction.

    If you tell us verbally, we may require you to send us your complaint or question in writing or via email within ten (10) business days (Online Banking customers may use secure online mail). When you contact us, please provide the following information:

    • Your name and account number
    • The date and dollar amount of the transaction in question
    • The name of the Payee if the transaction in question is a bill payment
    • The transaction number assigned by Online Banking, if available
    • A description of the transaction about which you are unsure
    • Please explain as clearly as you can with documents, if available, why you believe there is an error or why you need more information.

    We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you, and we will promptly correct any error we have made. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. In this case, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing, and we do not receive your letter in 10 business days, we reserve the right not to provisionally credit your account. For errors involving new accounts, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question and up to 45 business days to provisionally credit your account.

    We will tell you the results within 3 business days after we complete our investigation. If we conclude there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

    If your transaction was a Remittance Transfer (transfer of funds initiated by a consumer primarily for personal, family or household purposes to a designated recipient in a foreign country), please see the error resolution procedures in Section 6.F.

  2. Limitation of Liability for Online Banking Transactions

    Tell us at once if you believe your Online Banking password has been compromised or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us immediately. The unauthorized use of your Online Banking services could cause you to lose all of your money in your accounts, plus any amount available under your Balance Connect™ overdraft protection service.

    You will have no liability for unauthorized transactions if you notify us within 60 days after the statement showing the transaction has been sent to you (or 90 days if the transaction was from an account maintained at another financial institution). If you do not, you may not get back any of the money you lost from any unauthorized transaction that occurs after the close of the 60-day period (or 90-day period if the transaction was from an account maintained at another financial institution), if we can show that we could have stopped the transaction if you had notified us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we may extend the time periods.

    If you give your User ID and password and grant authority to make transfers to a person who exceeds the authority given, you are responsible for all transactions that person performs unless you notify us that the transfers by that person are no longer authorized. Transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions.

    Note: These liability rules are established by Regulation E, which implements the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act and does not apply to business accounts. Our liability policy regarding unauthorized Online Banking transactions on consumer deposit accounts may give you more protection, provided you report the transactions promptly. Also, the state law applicable to your account may give you more time to report an unauthorized transaction or may give you more protection.

  3. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

    If we do not complete a transaction 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. For instance, we will not be liable:

    • If, through no fault of ours, you don't have enough available funds in your account, or credit to cover the transaction or transfer
    • If Online Banking services weren't working properly, and you knew about the malfunction when you started the transaction or transfer
    • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevented the transaction or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we've taken
    • If there are postal delays or processing delays by the Payee
    • There may be other exceptions not specifically mentioned
  4. Our Liability for ACH and Wire Transfers

    For the provisions governing our liability for Same-Business Day Outbound wire transfers and international transfers please see Section 6. Our liability for Three-Business Day ACH transfers and Next Business Day ACH transfers involving a transfer to or from a Bank of Whittier consumer account is as described in this Section 8.

  1. Protecting Passwords

    If you think your password may have been compromised, or you believe there has been unauthorized or erroneous online activity with respect to your account, contact us at 855.269.1122.

    You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including password confirmations, to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual. You further agree that Bank of Whittier will not be responsible or liable to you in any way if information is intercepted by an unauthorized person, either in transit or at your place of business. You agree to: a) keep your password secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized signers on your account(s); b) instruct each person to whom you give your password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person; and c) immediately notify us and select a new password if you believe your password may have become known to an unauthorized person. Bank of Whittier will have no liability to you for any unauthorized payment or transfer made using your password that occurs before you have notified us of possible unauthorized use, and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. We may suspend or cancel your password even without receiving such notice from you, if we suspect your password is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner

  2. Acknowledgment of Commercially Reasonable Security Procedures

    By using Online Banking, you acknowledge and agree that this Agreement sets forth security procedures for electronic banking transactions that are commercially reasonable. You agree to be bound by instructions, whether authorized or unauthorized, which we implement in compliance with these procedures, unless you have given us prior notice of possible unauthorized use as described above (and we had a reasonable opportunity to act on such notice).

  3. Limitation of Bank's Liability

    If we fail or delay in making a payment or transfer pursuant to your instructions, or if we make a payment or transfer in an erroneous amount that is less than the amount per your instructions, unless otherwise required by law, our liability shall be limited to interest on the amount that we failed to timely pay or transfer, calculated from the date on which the payment or transfer was to be made until the date it was actually made or you canceled the instructions. We may pay such interest either to you or the intended recipient of the payment or transfer, but in no event will we be liable to both parties, and our payment to either party will fully discharge any obligation to the other. If we make a payment or transfer in an erroneous amount that exceeds the amount per your instructions, or if we permit an unauthorized payment or transfer after we have had a reasonable time to act on a notice from you of possible unauthorized use as described above, unless otherwise required by law, our liability will be limited to a refund of the amount erroneously paid or transferred, plus interest thereon from the date of the payment or transfer to the date of the refund, but in no event to exceed 60 days' interest. If we become liable to you for interest compensation under this Agreement or applicable law, such interest shall be calculated based on the average federal funds rate at the Federal Reserve Bank in the district where Bank of Whittier is headquartered for each day interest is due, computed on the basis of a 360-day year. Unless otherwise required by law, in no event will Bank of Whittier be liable to you for special, indirect or consequential damages including, without limitation, lost profits or attorney's fees, even if we are advised in advance of the possibility of such damages.
