If your account balance is insufficient to cover any transaction(s), we may treat these transactions as insufficient funds transactions. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction. The decision shall be at the Credit Union’s discretion.

Electronic Processing and Transactions

Due to the processing systems for electronic transactions used in the United States and by us, a payment or order transaction may be effective/posted before we are open for business on the date scheduled for the payment or other transaction. Therefore, you are responsible for insuring that your account(s) have sufficient balances as applicable for the scheduled payment/transaction one business day prior to the date scheduled. If a payment is due on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal holiday, the payment may occur on either the first business day after the due date or the business day prior to the due date. In these cases, you should plan to have the payment initiated on the last business day before any of these days to ensure you payment is made on time. You may not make payments and/or transactions to a federal, state or local governmental or tax unit, pay child-support or alimony, or to make payments to other categories of payees that we establish from time to time using our electronic services.

Preauthorized Transaction

You must notify the Credit Union verbally or in writing in time for us to receive your request at least three (3) business days or more before the scheduled date of the transfer. Utah First may require written confirmation of the stop payment order to be made within fourteen (14) days of a verbal notification. If we do require the written confirmation, the verbal stop payment order shall cease to be binding fourteen (14) days after it has been made. This means the preauthorized payment and future preauthorized payments to the payee you identify may be paid by us from your account(s) after the 14th day.

If you order us to stop a preauthorized transfer three (3) business days before the transfer is scheduled, and the stop payment order is made according to the terms and conditions of the account and this Agreement, including the requirement that you give us the exact amount of the debit, the next date of the debit and the exact name of the payee, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by our failure.

Your monthly account statement will show all your electronic transactions.

Mobile Banking App Service Availability. We will use reasonable efforts to make the services of Mobile Banking App (the “Services”) available for your use on a continuous basis.

The Services may be temporarily unavailable for regular or emergency maintenance.

Utah First cannot guarantee, nor is responsible for, the availability of data services provided by your mobile carrier, such as data outages or “out of range” issues.

We make no representation that any content or use of Mobile Banking App is available for use in locations outside of the United States. Using Mobile Banking App from locations outside the United States is at your own risk.

In case of a disaster, your Mobile Banking App Services may be suspended in order to allow emergency responding personnel to use the cellular networks.

You agree that only your mobile service provider is responsible for its products and services, and that you’re mobile service provider is not the provider of Mobile Banking App. Accordingly, you agree to resolve any problems with your carrier or provider directly without involving Utah First.

Bill Payment Services

This Agreement covers your rights and responsibilities concerning Utah First’s unique online bill payment service, which enables you to bring together, in one convenient location, summary information from as many bills as you wish, provided the person or entity to whom the bill is owed (“Payee”) makes this information available in an acceptable manner for online retrieval and is approved by you. By utilizing these services, you agree to the following terms and conditions.

Bill Payment Definitions:

  • Bill Payment. Bill Payment means the online bill payment service offered by Utah First through its Online Banking.
  • Payee. Payee is the person or entity to which you wish a bill payment be directed, or is the person or entity from which you receive electronic bills, as the case may be.
  • Payment Instruction. Payment Instruction is the information provided by you through Bill Payment to Utah First for a bill payment to be made to the Payee, (such as Payee name, Payee account number, scheduled payment date, etc.).
  • Payment Account. Payment Account is the checking account you have with Utah First from which payments will be debited.
  • Billing Account. Billing Account is the checking account from which all service fees will be automatically debited.
  • Business Day. Business Day includes every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays.
  • Scheduled Payment Date. Scheduled Payment Date is the day you want your Payee to receive payment, and is also the day your Payment Account will be debited, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day, in which case it will be considered to be the prior Business Day.
  • Scheduled Payment. Scheduled Payment is a payment that has been scheduled through Bill Payment but has not yet begun processing.

Accessibility. In order to access Bill Payment, you must first be enrolled in Online Banking. Within your Online Banking account, you must have an email address on record. This email address will also be used for e-Bill and, therefore, should be kept updated and current.

Method of Payment. When you sign up for Bill Payment, you must designate a checking account with us as your Payment Account. You cannot designate a savings or any other type of account for this purpose. We will make payments for you from this account, either electronically or using a paper draft drawn on your Payment Account. It may take up to ten (10) Business Days to reach your Payee. You agree to maintain a balance in your Payment Account that is sufficient to fund all payments you initiate; you further agree that we may charge a service fee for any returned payment, including but not limited to, returns resulting from insufficient funds in your Payment Account, the fact that your Payment Account has been closed, or because you provided incorrect Payee account or routing information. You understand that if there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account, we may, but are not obligated to, advance the funds to make payment to your Payee. If we do so, you agree to pay us promptly on our request for any amount we have advanced, as well as any servicing fees that may apply.

Bill Payment Paying Process. You are responsible for your Bill Payment management, including establishing a Payment Account for each Payee, setting up Payee information through Online Banking, setting up bill presentment and scheduling payments. Payments will be remitted (sent) within one Business Day of the Scheduled Payment Date.

Payment Scheduling. Using Bill Payment, you can set up Payees by scheduling single payments or recurring payments. You must allow sufficient time for Payees to process your payment after they receive a transfer from Utah First. Please allow sufficient lead-time prior to your bill’s due date. The Credit Union cannot guarantee the time that any payment will be credited to your account by the Payee and will not be liable for any service fee, late charge or finance charge from the Payee. You are also solely responsible for any loss or penalty that may occur due to insufficient funds or other conditions that may prevent the withdrawal of funds from your Payment Account.

Single Payments. A single payment will be processed on the Business Day that you designate as the Scheduled Payment Date, provided the payment is submitted prior to the daily cut-off time on that date. The daily cut-off time, which is controlled by Utah First, is currently 1:00 p.m. Mountain Time. A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated Scheduled Payment date may be processed on the next Business Day. If you designate a non-Business Day as the Scheduled Payment Date, the payment will be processed on the first Business Day following the designated Scheduled Payment Date.

Recurring Payments. When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically rescheduled by the Bill Payment system. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the payment, a Scheduled Payment Date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated Scheduled Payment Date is a non-Business Day, it is adjusted to process the payment on the Business Day prior to the Scheduled Payment Date. If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th and 31st as a particular day of the month for processing, and that day does not exist in the month of the calculated Scheduled Payment Date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated Scheduled Payment Date.

Right to Refuse Payment. You agree not to use Bill Payment to make payments to payees outside the United States, (a “Prohibited Payment”) or that are Specifically Designated Nationals by the Office of Foreign Asset Control. You further agree that the following payments (“Restricted Payments”) are discouraged, but may be scheduled at your own risk:

  • Tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service or any state or other government agency,
  • Court-ordered payments, such as alimony or child support, or
  • Payments to insurance companies.

In the event we make an error in processing a Restricted Payment, you agree that we will not have any responsibility for any negative impact to you; you alone will be responsible for collecting any overpayment we have forwarded. The fact that we make a mistake in processing a Restricted Payment does not mean that we cannot collect from you or your account any funds we sent to the Payee on your behalf. We will not notify you if you attempt to make a Prohibited Payment or a Restricted Payment, and we will not be liable if we do not make a Prohibited Payment or a Restricted Payment. We may refuse to make any payment we believe to be prohibited by law.

IF YOU FAIL TO MAINTAIN A BALANCE IN YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT THAT IS SUFFICIENT TO FUND ANY PAYMENT THAT YOU INITIATE, WE MAY REFUSE TO MAKE ANY SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT FOR AS LONG AS WE DETERMINE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, OR WE MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT.

In no event will Utah First be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling these types of payments through Bill Payment. The Credit Union has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from a Prohibited Payment or Restricted Payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not Utah First.

Utah First reserves the right to refuse to pay any Payee whom you may direct a payment. Bill Payment will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Payee. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a Prohibited or Restricted Payment, however.

Payment Authorization. By providing Utah Frist with the names and account information of Payees to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow your instructions. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, Utah First may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives.

When we receive your online payment instructions through Bill Payment, you authorize us to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as soon as reasonable possible after the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize us to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Credit Union by the US Postal Service or the Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another delegated user of Bill Payment.

Utah First will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability if Utah First is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following:

  • If, through no fault of Utah First, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction, or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
  • If, through no fault of Utah First, the payment processing center is not working properly;
  • You failed to provide Utah First with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number or account number for the Payee; and/or
  • Circumstances beyond the control of Utah First (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood or interference from an outside source) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and Utah First has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Payment Cancellation. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within Bill Payment and Online Banking. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment, but once we have begun to process a payment, the transaction cannot be cancelled or edited. Therefore, a stop payment request must be submitted once processing of the transaction has begun.

Stop Payments. Utah First’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. We may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after payment has been processed through Bill Payment.

After a scheduled payment has been remitted, (but not yet paid from your account), you may stop payment by notifying Utah First at (801) 320-2600 or (800) 234-0729. Although we will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Credit Union will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such services as set out in the applicable Fee Schedule.

Regardless, we will continue to charge your Payment Account for other recurring payments until the expiration date you set for the payments or the date you cancel the recurring payments through Bill Payment, whichever occurs sooner.

Bill Delivery and Presentment. This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only. It is your sole responsibility to contact your Payees directly if you do not receive your statements. If you elect to utilize these services, you agree to the following:

  • Any changes or disputes to your account information with Payees that you utilize through this service will need to be made by contacting the Payee directly.
  • Upon activation of your bill presentment service, Utah First will notify the Payee of your request for electronic billing. Each electronic Payee reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills. In the event you do not receive your electronic bill, it is your responsibility to contact the Payee to ensure timely payments of all bills. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Payee, for the presentment of your first electronic bill. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Payee. While your electronic bill feature is being activated, it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current.
  • By utilizing the electronic bill payment service, you authorize us to obtain bill data on your behalf. We may request you provide your user name and password for that Payee. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain bill data.
  • Each Payee reserves the right to cancel your electronic bill at any time. You may cancel your electronic bill presentment at any time. The Credit Union will notify your electronic Payee(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery.

YOU AGREE THAT WHEN UTAH FIRST IS ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM PAYEE ACCOUNTS, UTAH FIRST IS ACTING AS YOUR AGENT WITH YOUR AUTHORITY. YOU AGREE THAT UTAH FIRST, ITS AFFILIATES AND PARTNERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RELY UPON THIS AUTHORIZATION AND WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS, FEES, LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF (1) UTAH FIRST’S ACCESS TO THE PAYEE ACCOUNTS, (2) UTAH FIRST’S RETRIEVAL OF OR INABILITY TO RETRIEVE INFORMATION FROM THE PAYEE ACCOUNTS, (3) ANY INACCURACY, INCOMPLETENESS OR MISINFORMATION CONTAINED IN CONTENT RETRIEVED FROM THE PAYEE ACCOUNTS, AND (4) ANY CHARGES IMPOSED BY THE PROVIDER OF ANY PAYEE ACCOUNT.

At any point, you can enable or disable notices, or delete notices altogether. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to Bill Payment via Online Banking and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Payee to Payee. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.

You understand and accept that a notice is transmitted electronically and that you have no expectation of privacy with respect to such information.

You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The time frame for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Payee to Payee. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle for each Payee.

Utah First will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Payees.

If the Checks were scanned prior to the system failure, you must obtain our approval before delivering the Checks to a branch office for processing.

Transmission Deadlines. Transmissions originate from the Credit Union offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. IMAGE ITEM DEPOSITS INITIATED ON A BUSINESS DAY WILL BE POSTED AND MADE AVAILABLE ON THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY.

In the event that we receive the Image Item from you on a day that is not a business day, the Image Item is deemed to have been received by us at the opening of the next business day. “Business day” means Monday through Friday, except observed Federal holidays. The Federal Reserve and/or the Credit Union, at its transmission office, will be closed on non-business days. In addition, you are responsible for understanding and building into your transmission schedule the changes in transmission windows required by time changes associated with Daylight Savings Time.

Except as otherwise provided by law, you will indemnify the Credit Union and hold it harmless for any loss or expense caused by any person with the apparent authority to access Remote Deposit Services. You agree to provide each Authorized User a copy of these terms in connection with their use of Remote Deposit Services. The Credit Union may elect to verify the authenticity or content of any transmission by placing a call to any authorized signer on your Account or at our discretion. We may deny your access to Remote Deposit Services without prior notice if we are unable to confirm any person’s authority to access Remote Deposit Services or if we believe such action is necessary for security reasons.

We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing Remote Deposit Services, or email transmitted to and from us will not be monitored or read by others. You agree to notify us immediately if you believe any passwords have been lost, stolen, used without your permission or otherwise compromised.

You agree to be liable to the Credit Union and its vendors for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses or costs arising as a result of the negligent or intentional misuse of Remote Deposit Services by you or your authorized users.

  • Would result in you being or becoming a “money service business” as defined in the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations;
  • Knowingly accepting restricted transactions in connection with another person in unlawful Internet gambling as defined in the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and Regulation GG (Prohibition on Funding of Unlawful Internet Gambling); or
  • Directly or indirectly related to the use of the Remote Deposit Services that is illegal or fraudulent.

Deposit of Original Checks. You agree that no Check deposited to the Credit Union shall cause funds to be debited more than once from the account of the maker. You agree that the original Check, a duplicate Check Image, or any copy of the original Check or Check Image will not be deposited by you with the Credit Union (unless we instruct you to do so) or under any circumstances with any other financial institution.

Check Retention Period. You agree that you will preserve the originals of all Checks processed through Remote Deposit Services pursuant to this Agreement for five (5) calendar days after the day of the deposit (“Retention Period”). The risk of loss due to the unavailability of the original copy of a Check for any reason, during the Retention Period, shall be exclusively yours.

Destruction of Original Checks. You will be fully responsible for the destruction of the Checks. You agree to use commercially reasonable method(s) to destroy original Checks after the required Retention Period has expired. You agree to destroy and dispose of the original Checks with a high degree of care, including selecting and implementing appropriate destruction and disposal procedures. You are required to implement such procedures to ensure that the original Checks are not accessed by unauthorized persons during the storage, destruction and disposal process, and, once destroyed, the original Checks are no longer readable or capable of being reconstructed (e.g., through the use of competent shredding equipment). The risk of loss associated with the accidental inclusion of a physical Check in the Check collection process, or with lost, destroyed, stolen or misplaced Checks shall be exclusively yours.

Member Representation and Warranties. You represent and warrant that all Checks transmitted through the use of Remote Deposit Services are made payable to you, the Member, that all signatures and endorsements on each Check are authentic and authorized, and that each Check has not been altered.

Prohibited Checks. You agree that Checks scanned through the use of the Service will not:

  • Be payable to any person or entity other than you;
  • Be prohibited by, or received in violation of, any law, rule or regulation;
  • Be knowingly or suspected by you (or should be known or suspected by you) to be fraudulent or otherwise authorized by the owner of the account on which the Check is drawn;

  • Be post-dated or more than six (6) months old;
  • Be payable to cash;
  • Be irregular in any way;

  • Be drawn on financial institutions that are located outside of the United States.

Endorsement of Checks. You agree to properly endorse each Check prior to submitting such Check through the use of Remote Deposit Services.

Image Quality. You are responsible for inspecting and verifying the quality of the images associated with Image Items, thus ensuring that the digitized images of the front and back of the original Checks are legible for all posting and clearing purposes by the Credit Union. Specifically, you are representing and warranting to the Credit Union that:

  • The Image Item is an accurate representation of all information on the front and back of the original Check at the time the original Check was converted to an Image Item, and the Image Item contains all endorsements from the original Check necessary to permit the Credit Union to:
    – Acquire rights of a holder in due course in the collection process of Checks and other items;
    – Handle, process, maintain and destroy original Checks; and
    – Ensure that neither the Credit Union nor any other financial institution (depositary, collecting or payor), drawee, drawer or endorser receives presentment or return of, or otherwise is charged for, a Check or Image Item more than once in any form.
  • Each Image Item (or related electronic data file) contains a record of all MICR line (special characters printed on the bottom of a Check) information required for a substitute check and otherwise satisfies all of the requirements of the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) X9.37 standards for image quality required by Check 21 and Regulation CC for the creation and/or transferring of a substitute check created from an Image Item.

Adjustments. Once an Image Item is captured, Remote Deposit Services will display captured encoded fields for your review. You will be required to make corrections to encoding not read or missing from the scanned Check, including entering the legal amount of the Check. We reserve the right to adjust your deposit after you have submitted it for processing. Adjustments are to correct mistakes in the value of Image Items deposited, mistakes in encoding or for missing or illegible Image Items.

Your deposit of an Image Item is subject to our verification and final inspection process. We may, at any time, deposit an Image Item or return all or part of a multiple Image Items to you without prior notice. We are under no obligation to inspect or verify any Image Item to determine accuracy, legibility or quality of the Image Item or MICR line information associated with the Image Item, or for any other purpose.

We may, however, correct or amend MICR line information with an Image Item to facilitate process of the Image Item or a substitute Check created from the Image Item.

We may process and collect an Image Item or a substitute Image Item through one or more check clearing houses, Federal Reserve Banks, or other private clearing agreements with other financial institutions.

Termination. We are permitted to terminate any or all Remote Deposit Services immediately should you breach any part of this Agreement or your Membership Agreement. We are also permitted to terminate any or all Remote Deposit Services if we are no longer able to provide such services.

Confidentiality. You acknowledge that we will disclose information to third parties about your Account(s) or the Image Item(s) you deposit:

  • To enable your access to Remote Deposit Services,
  • When it is necessary for completing deposits, and
  • As required by law.

Credit Union Rights. Utah First may hold and use funds in any Account of yours following termination of this Agreement and Remote Deposit Services for such time as we reasonable determine to be necessary for us to be assured that no Image Item processed by us prior to termination may be returned, charged back, or otherwise become a source or cause for any loss, liability, cost, exposure or other action for which the Credit Union may be responsible, with such right being in addition to any other rights Utah First may have with respect to your Accounts. Without limitation, you recognize that under federal and state laws, the UCC, Regulation CC and the rules of any image exchange network, our representations and warranties to others with regard to Image Items and substitute Checks may expose the Credit Union to claims for several years following processing of any particular Image Item or substitute Check.

If a payor financial institution returns an Image Item to us for any reason, we may charge your applicable Account for the returned Image Item, whether or not the return is timely and proper, and we may further, either:

  • Return the Image Item to you; or
  • Re-present it to the payor financial institution before returning it to you.

Items may be returned as Image Items, rather than substitute Checks, as agreed by the parties. If a payor financial institution or other third party makes a claim against us or seeks a re-credit with respect to any Image Item processed, we may provisionally freeze or hold aside a like amount in the applicable Account pending investigation and resolution of the claim.

We may also immediately suspend Remote Deposit Services or the processing of any Check or corresponding electronic Image Item if we have reason to believe that there has been a breach in the security of the Remote Deposit Services, fraud involving your Account or Check(s), or any uncertainty as to the authorization or accuracy of electronic Image Items. We also have the right to process electronic Image Items on a collection basis at any time.

The Credit Union may also refuse to process any non-conforming Image Items, including without limitation any Image Items that do not meet the definition of a “Check” set forth herein.

My Finances

The Service is a personal finance information management service that allows members to consolidate and track their financial information through Online Banking. Based on such information, the Service may also present information relating to third part products or services. This Service is provided to you without charge and is meant as an aid to assist you in organizing and managing your finances. It is not intended to provide legal, tax or financial advice.

Neither Utah First nor the Service is intended to provide legal, tax or financial advice. Utah First is not a financial planner, broker or tax advisor. The Service is intended to assist you in your financial organization and decision-making and is broad in scope. Your personal financial situation is unique, and any information and advice obtained through the Service may not be appropriate for your situation. Accordingly, before making any final decisions or implementing any financial strategy, you should consider obtaining additional information and advice from your accountant or other financial advisers who are fully aware of your individual circumstances.

Funds Availability Policy

This policy statement applies to all accounts. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from your cash and check deposits will be available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid, the associated fees and for any other problems involving your deposit

Determining the Availability of a Deposit. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays. If you make a deposit before closing on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. If, however, you make a deposit after closing, or on a day we are not open, we will consider the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. If you make a deposit at an ATM before 3:00 pm (cut off times may be later on some days or at some locations) on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. If, however, we are not open, or it is after the cut off time, we will consider the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in one of your accounts until the check we cashed would have been available to you had you deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately, but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would not be available for withdrawal until the check we cashed would have been available to you had you deposited it with the bank upon which it was drawn.

Longer Delays May Apply. In some cases, we will not make all the funds you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check deposited, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. The first $200.00 of your deposits, however, will always be available on the first business day. If we are not going to make all the funds available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the first business day after we receive your deposit.

Safeguard Exception Delays: Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000.00 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communication equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new member, the following rules will apply during the first thirty (30) days your account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers and the first $5,000.00 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s and government (federal, state and local) checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you, and you may have to use a special deposit slip. The excess over $5,000.00 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000.00 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the tenth business day after the day of deposit.

Electronic Funds Transfer

By establishing and using your Online Banking account, you agree to the following terms and our rights and responsibilities concerning the electronic funds transfer services, as applicable. Terms and conditions set forth elsewhere in the Agreement shall also apply to your electronic funds transfer service. Electronic funds transfers (EFT) are electronically initiated transfers of money involving your deposit accounts at the Credit Union. These include, but are not limited to, direct deposits, automated teller machine (ATM) transactions, audio response transactions, Online Banking services and point-of-sale transactions.

Online Banking. If we approve Online banking for your accounts, a personal password will be assigned to your account. You must use your password and your User ID to access you accounts. Online Banking service is available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day through a direct-dial modem number or through the Internet. There may be times when you are unable to process our transaction if our database is off-line or if all telephone lines are in use. At the present time, you may use the service to:

  • Transfer funds between your checking, share or savings accounts.
  • Transfer funds to accounts of other members.
  • Obtain account balances for any of your accounts.
  • View and download account history for any account.

Service Limitations for Online Banking. You may make Online Banking transactions at any time, seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. There may be some down time. There is no limit to the number of transactions you may make in any one day, however, there are certain limitations on transfers from share, savings or checking accounts. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse an transaction that would draw upon insufficient funds, exceed a credit limit, lower an account below a required balance or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account. The Credit Union may refuse to honor any transaction for which you do not have sufficient available verified funds. Account balance and transaction history information may not show all account activity involving your accounts.

Member Liability. You are responsible for all transfers you authorize using your EFT services under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use an EFT service, card or PIN/password, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. You understand and agree that your authorization or permission to any other person to use any access device or PIN or to make transactions on your account constitutes your authorization for such person to conduct any transaction without limitation. You remain fully liable for all transactions made by persons whom you have provided your access device or PIN to make transactions on your account, until you notify us in writing of your revocation or express limitation of the scope of such use. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your account, card or PIN/password and accessed your accounts without your authority or if you believe that an electronic funds transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.

Liability for VISA Debit Card transactions is $0.00. For all other EFT transactions except electronic check transactions, if you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone accessed your account without permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or EFT service, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. You liability for unauthorized loan transactions through an EFT service is $50.00. Also, if your statement shows EFT transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, PIN, password or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed or otherwise made available to you, you may be liable for the full amount of the loss if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If you believe your card has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, contact us immediately at:

Utah First’s Liability. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. There are some exceptions, however. We will NOT be liable, for instance, if:

  • Through no fault of ours, you do not have available funds to complete the transfer;
