This brochure contains the rules which govern, where appropriate, your deposit account
with us. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used here should be
construed so that the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular.
Elsewhere here, you will find a schedule of the applicable interest rates, methods,
qualifying balances and charges. Please read this brochure carefully; continued use of
your account with us after receipt of this brochure means you agree to these rules, you
agree to pay the fees listed, and you give us the right to collect the fees, as earned,
directly from the account balance. If you have any questions, please call us.
Much of our relationship with our deposit customers is regulated by state and federal
law, especially the law relating to negotiable instruments, the law regulating the methods
of transferring property upon death and the rights of surviving spouses and dependents,
the law pertaining to estate and other succession taxes, the law regarding electronic
funds transfer, and the law regarding the availability of deposited funds, privacy of
information and truth-in-savings disclosure. This body of law is too large and complex
to be reproduced here.
The purpose of this information is to:
- summarize the rules applicable to the more common transactions and events.
- establish rules to govern transactions or circumstances which the law does not regulate; and
- establish rules for certain events or transactions which the law already regulates but
permits variation by agreement.
- make required disclosure.
We may permit some variations from this standard agreement, but any such variation
must be agreed to in writing either on our signature card for the account or in some
other written form.
As used here, the word "we" means the financial institution and the word "you" means
the account holder.
Please refer to the backside of your signature card for a full explanation of the terms of
your account agreement.
Liability - each of you agrees, for yourself ( and the person or entity
you represent if you sign as a representative of another) to the terms of this account and
the schedule of charges that may be imposed. You authorize us to deduct these charges as
accrued directly from the account balance. You also agree to pay additional reasonable charges
we may impose for services you request which are not contemplated by this agreement. Each
of you also agrees to be jointly and severally liable for any account deficit resulting from
charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another authorized to withdraw from this
account, and the costs we incur to collect the deficit including, to the extent permitted by
law, our reasonable attorneys' fees.
Unclaimed Funds/Dormant Accounts - Any money or right to money you have
in this account will become unclaimed funds under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 169 if, according
to our records, for five years you do not make a deposit or withdrawal, correspond with us
regarding this account, transact business with us or otherwise indicate an interest in or
knowledge of the funds. This law includes certificates of deposit after the initial renewal.
A Savings account becomes dormant after a period of two years and checking in one year, and
will be subject to a periodic fee after that time.

Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So - If you have told us in

is how: Call or write us at the telephone number or address listed here in time for us to
receive your request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.
If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within
14 days after your call. We will charge $20.00 for each stop payment order you give us.
Notice of Varying Amounts - If these regular payments may vary in amount,
the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be
made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment
would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would
fall outside certain limits that you set.)
Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer - If you order
us to stop one of these payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled,
and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
OUR LIABILITY
Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a transfer 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, we will NOT be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
- If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when
you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite
reasonable precautions we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions in our agreement with you.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:
- where it is necessary for completing transfers:
- in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as
a credit bureau or merchant:
- in order to comply with government agency or court orders:
- in order to provide a service you request, i.e., ATM card,
- or if you give us written permission.
- or to protect or enforce our legal rights
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or PIN has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is
the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in your
account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days,
you can lose no more then $50 if someone used your card without your permission.
If you do not tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your
card and/or PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or
PIN, without permission if you had told us, you can lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do
not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any
money you lost after the 60 days 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 telling us, we will
extend the time period.
If you believe your card and/or PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred
or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call or write us at the
telephone number or address listed here.
ERROR RESOLUTION
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the
telephone number or address listed here, as soon as you can, if you think your statement
of receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the
statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we send the FIRST
statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any)
- Describe the error on the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly
as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in
writing within 10 business days.
We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days (20 days if
the transfer involved a point of sale transaction or a foreign initiated transfer) after
we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we
may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a point of sale transaction or
a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to
do this we will recredit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the
transfer involved a point of sale transaction or a foreign initiated transfer) for the
amount you think is in error, so that you will 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 questions
in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not recredit your account.
If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three
business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents
that we used in our investigation.
If we decide there was an error, we will correct the error within one business day after
the decision and notify you.
FUNDS AVAILABILITY (Reg CC) DISCLOSURE
Our policy is to make funds from your deposits to a transaction account available to you on
the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will
be available to you on the first business day after we receive the deposit. Once they are
available, you can withdraw the funds 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 and for any other problems involving your 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 3:00 p.m. on a
business day, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will
consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to
you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of
check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after
the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposits will be available on
the first business day after we receive your deposit.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first
business day after we receive your deposit, 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 day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds
will be available.
In addition, 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 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 communication or computer 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 eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.
Special rules apply to payable-through-checks/drafts and you should ask about the availability
of funds on these items.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your
account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits into your account will be available on the day we
receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a
day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and
local government 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 will be available
on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. If the 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 will not be made available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the seventh business day after the
day of your deposit.
DEPOSITS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
Funds from deposits (other than cash or checks requiring next day availability) at automated
teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate may not be available until the second business
day after the day of deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate
(proprietary).
Deposits made at ATMs we do own and operate may not be available on the next business day
after the day of deposit, but will be available no later than the second business day. (A list
of our ATMs is provided to all customers.)
