Access to Services

We will provide on-line instructions describing how to use the On-line Banking Service or Bill Payment Service. To gain access to this service you will need your Access ID and your password.

HOURS OF OPERATION

The services are generally available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week, except during special maintenance and upgrade periods, which routinely are scheduled between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Monday mornings.

USE OF YOUR SECURITY PASSWORD

The safety of our customers' accounts and account information is of paramount importance to us. We go through great lengths to protect confidentiality and the security of your account, and urge you to do the same. You agree not to allow anyone to gain access to the services or to let anyone know your password. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions initiated through the services with your Co-op User-ID, up to the limits allowed by applicable law. While the Bank continues to provide our customers with the level of on-line security we believe necessary and appropriate, customers who share their user-IDs and passwords are giving up the full benefit of our security measures and legal protections to which they may be entitled. No Bank representative will ever call and ask for your Access ID or User Password.

IF YOUR PASSWORD HAS BEEN LOST OR STOLEN

If your password has been lost or stolen, call us immediately at (413) 447-7304, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Telephoning the Bank is the best way of minimizing your losses. You may also restore the security of your service by immediately changing your password. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen and you notify us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone uses your password to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers without your permission. If you do NOT notify us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.

Banking Transactions with Online Banking

In addition to viewing account information, you may use On-line Banking to conduct the following transactions:

• Transfer funds among your linked checking, savings, money market, loan and line of credit accounts.
  
  NOTE: Because regulations require the Bank to limit pre-authorized transfers (including On-line Banking transfers), the following limitations apply:
• Statement Savings Account -- You can make no more than six (6) transfers per statement period by pre-authorized or automatic transfer, or by telephone or On-line Banking.
• Money Market Savings Account -- You can make no more than six (6) transfers per statement period by pre-authorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or On-line Banking, and no more than three (3) of these may be by check, draft or debit card.
• Initiate bill payments.

New services may be introduced for On-line Banking from time-to-time. We will notify you of the existence of these new services. By using these services when they become available, you agree to be bound by the rules that will be made available to you concerning these services.

Bill Payment Service

The Bill Payment Service permits you to use your Internet-enabled device to direct payments from your designated on-line Bill Pay Account to third parties you wish to pay and who accepts Bill Payment Services.

Through the Bill Payment Service, you can pay bills from your Bill Pay Account to:

• Business Payees -- any business, merchant, or professional that generates a bill or invoice for products or services provided to you on your behalf and that has an address we can verify.
• Individual Payees -- payments made to individuals, family, or friends for non-business purposes.

You may set up the following types of bill payments:

• Single Payments -- a payment to be made to a payee one time
• Recurring Payments -- payments of fixed amounts to a single payee at recurring intervals (e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, annually or semi-annually).

All payments you make will be deducted from the account that you designate as your Bill Pay Account on the Payment Initiation Date. Any payments you wish to make through this service must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee located in the continental United States. We reserve the right to restrict or limit the number of transactions processed through this service from time-to-time. Further, we reserve the right to check your credit history at enrollment and obtain follow up credit history reports at a later date.

You should not use the Bill Payment Service to make payments to settle securities purchases, payments to interest bearing accounts, tax payments, or court ordered payments (e.g., alimony or child support payments). Payments, additional fees, fines, penalties or other losses associated with payments to these payees that are delayed or improperly addressed or credited are your sole responsibility.

Funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account, including overdraft lines of credit, on the scheduled Payment Initiation Date. If the Payment Initiation Date falls on a non-Business Day (i.e., Saturday, Sunday or holiday), funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account the following Business Day (i.e., Monday). After funds are withdrawn from your Bill Pay Account to make a payment, we may make the payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by mailing the payee a check.

If your Bill Pay Account does not have sufficient available funds to make a payment as of the Payment Initiation Date, the payment will be canceled and no further attempt will be made by us to make the transfer or payment. The Pittsfield Cooperative Bank will attempt to notify you by e-mail or U.S. Postal Mail, but we shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient available funds in your account to process a transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through the Bill Payment Service. In the case of recurring payments, only the payment currently scheduled will be canceled. Recurring payments scheduled for future dates will not be affected. In the event you have sufficient funds to make some, but not all, of the bill payments scheduled for a particular payment date, we may use such method as The Pittsfield Cooperative Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect in determining which payments to complete, if any.

You must schedule the Payment Initiation Date at least four (4) business days before any Payment Due Date (that is, the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the payee, not taking into account any applicable grace period). If you do not, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other action taken by the payee. If the actual due date falls on a non-business day, you must select a scheduled payment date that is at least one (1) business day prior.

If the session during which you schedule a payment or transfer ends by 7:00 p.m. EST, the Bank will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, it will be considered received the following business day. For all entries made using the service, the time recorded by the On-line Banking service controls.

You may cancel or change a scheduled payment by using the payment screens in the Bill Payment Service. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Bill Payment Service prior to 7:00 p.m. EST on the business day the transaction will be initiated. If you ask us to cancel a payment after it is issued and we agree to do so, we will charge you a stop payment fee to stop the bill payment. Stop payment orders, whether oral, written, or electronic, will be in effect for a period of six months. If requested by us, you will confirm any stop payment order in writing within 14 days. After six months, any stop payment will terminate and must be renewed to continue in effect. The Bank may pay any item that is presented following the lapse of any stop payment order.

BILL PAYMENT GUARANTEE

The Pittsfield Cooperative Bank reserves the right to refuse any transaction if the Bank believes such refusal is necessary for security reasons, without any liability for damages or fees. However, if we do not properly complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will reimburse you for any late payment fees or penalties you are charged up to a maximum of $50.00 per scheduled payment. In order for you to be eligible for reimbursement, you must meet each of the following conditions:

• You must properly schedule the payment to be initiated on a date at least four (4) business days prior to the bill's actual due date. This means that you must initiate a Single Payment before 7:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on a business day at least four (4) days prior to the bill's actual due date. For recurring payments, this means that you must allow additional time for months in which weekends or holidays reduce the number of business days between the recurring Payment Initiation Date and the bill's actual due date.
• You must provide us with the correct payee name, address, phone number and account information, and with the correct payment amount.
• On the Payment Initiation Date your checking account must contain sufficient available funds, including overdraft lines of credit, to complete the payment.
• The late payment fee or penalty, or the method of its calculation, must be published by the payee prior to the bill's actual due date.
• The Service will not process any payments less than $1.00 or greater than $99,999.99
• You can schedule a Payment Due Date up to a year in advance.

Statements

You will continue to receive your regular account statement either monthly or quarterly, depending on the type of account.

IF YOUR STATEMENT SHOWS TRANSFERS THAT YOU DID NOT MAKE

If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, notify the Bank immediately at (413) 447-7304, or write a letter and send it to:

This will allow you to use the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If your complaint or question is not received in writing within ten (10) business days from your original contact, we may not credit your account until the investigation is completed.

If your notice of error concerns a transaction that occurred during the first 30 days after the first deposit to the account was made, the applicable time periods are 20 business days in place of 10 business days and 90 calendar days in place of 45 calendar days.

If we determined that no error occurred, we will send you a written notice within three (3) business days. You may request copies of the documents that were used in the investigation.
