Online Banking Agreement and Disclosure Statement
This Bank of the Sierra Online Banking Agreement and Disclosure Statement (this “Agreement”) governs the use of the Internet Banking Services described herein which include Online Banking, an Internet account access service, and Online Banking with Bill Pay, an internet bill payment service (collectively referred to as “the Services”), which are offered by and through Bank of the Sierra (“Bank”), to each customer whose request for the Services is approved. Each reference in this Agreement to “you” or “your” means each customer who submits an Online Banking Enrollment form and refers to all such customers jointly and severally. By submitting the Enrollment, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the terms of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep a copy for your records.

1. Use of Online Banking

Account Requirements. In order to subscribe to Online Banking, you must have at least one account with us designated on the Enrollment. You may access other checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and loan accounts you have with us (collectively the “Accounts”). Use of the Services will be subject to the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure and any loan agreement for each Account (the “Account Agreements”).

WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT FOR TWO SIGNATURES. Principles recognize that any requirement of verifying two signatures on checks, if such a requirement exists, does not apply to electronic or telephone transfers, including online bill payments, and release Bank from liability when making such transfers or payments. This means that any person who is authorized to act as a signer on your account shall be authorized by you to individually make electronic or telephonic transfers, including online bill payments from your account, even though that person’s authority to transfer or withdraw funds from your account by some other means (e.g., by check) must be exercised jointly with one or more other persons.

Online Banking Requirements and Availability
Access. To use the Services, you must have at least one account with Bank of the Sierra and access to the Internet service. Your browser must have encryption capabilities at a minimum 128-bit level. You will need a modem with a minimum speed of 28.8 kilobits per second (Kbps). You are responsible for the setup, compatibility, and maintenance of your computer and modem and agree that we are not responsible for such setup, compatibility, or maintenance.

Availability of Service. The Services will be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Services may be inaccessible for a reasonable period on a daily basis for system maintenance. The Services may also be unavailable due to Internet access interruptions, equipment problems, or other disruptions to service. We shall not be liable under this Agreement for failure to provide access for any reason. Your access to the Services shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Bank. Subject to applicable law, the Bank reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate access to the Services at any time and for any reason without notice or refund of previously incurred fees, if any. We reserve the right to limit the types and number of accounts eligible and the right to refuse to make any transaction you request through Online Banking. We may also reserve the right to modify the scope of the Service at any time.

User ID and Password.
Consumer Service. Each authorized user of Personal Online Banking service has a User ID and a Password. For Consumer Service (personal accounts), the initial User ID is the Social Security number of the first person designated on the account signature card. Bank of the Sierra recommends you change your User ID to a unique login name and you will be required to change your password with your first login. You should keep your Password confidential and in a secure location. Any person having access to any of your Passwords will be able to access the Service and perform transactions, including reviewing Account information and making transfers to other Accounts and, if Bill Pay is selected, to third parties. We recommend, and reserve the right to require, that you change your Passwords from time to time for security reasons. Neither Bank of the Sierra nor any of its service providers will ever ask you for your password and you should never give it to anyone unless you know them and want them to have access to your accounts.

For Business Service. Each authorized user of Business Online Banking service has a User ID and a Password. For Business Service (business accounts), the initial User ID will be assigned by the Bank with the password being the last four of the business Tax ID number. Bank of the Sierra recommends you change your User ID to a unique login name and you will be required to change your password with your first login. You should keep your Password confidential and in a secure location. Any person having access to any of your Passwords will be able to access the Service and perform transactions, including reviewing Account information and making transfers to other Accounts and, if Bill Pay is selected, to third parties. We recommend, and reserve the right to require, that you change your Passwords from time to time for security reasons. Neither Bank of the Sierra nor any of its service providers will ever ask you for your password and you should never give it to anyone unless you know them and want them to have access to your accounts.

You agree that the Passwords constitute a “commercially reasonable” security procedure for the verification of the authenticity and accuracy of transactions initiated through the Services. You authorize us and our service provider to rely and act upon any transaction or inquiry initiated through the Services using the Passwords and agree to be responsible for any such transaction or inquiry that is processed in good faith.

Our “Business Days” are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Fund Transfers and Account Information.
Online Banking Service. You may use Online Banking to: (i) view current balance information and several months of transaction information for your Accounts; (ii) transfer funds between your Accounts that are checking, savings, or money market; and (iii) import or export your Account information to and from Quicken or Microsoft Money financial management software.

Fund Transfers – Authorization. You may transfer funds between your Accounts that are checking, savings, or money market deposit accounts in any amount. When you request a fund transfer using Online Banking, you authorize us to follow the transfer instructions and transfer the funds from the designated originating Account to the designated recipient Account. The “Processing Date” is the date that the fund transfer is actually made and is normally the day you request such transfer. However, if our data processing system is not functioning or accessible for whatever reason, your funds transfer may not be completed until the next day. We deduct the amount of your fund transfer from the designated originating Account on the Processing Date. We may refuse to act on your fund transfer instruction if sufficient funds, including funds available under any overdraft line of credit plan, are not available in your Account on the Processing Date. Funds transferred to the designated recipient Account will be deemed deposited on the Processing Date and will be available thereafter in accordance with our funds transfer availability policy.

Account Information. The Account balance shown will be current as of most recent update. The Account balance may reflect deposits still subject to collection or verification by us (and subject to being reversed) and may not reflect deposits or loans in progress, outstanding checks or payments, or other withdrawals, payments, credits, or charges.

2. Use of Online Banking Bill Payment Service

Account Requirements. In order to subscribe to Bank of the Sierra’s Online Banking with Bill Pay Service (“Bill Pay”), you must have previously enrolled as an Online Banking user and separately enroll for the Bill Payment service. You must have a Bank of the Sierra checking account to use the Bill Pay service. The following additional terms and conditions relate to your use of Bill Pay.

Bill Pay Service.
Bill Payments. You may use Bill Pay to pay bills. With Bill Pay you may: (i) make current, future, or recurring payments to certain companies or individuals you select; and (ii) make current, future, or recurring payments directly to your loan or credit accounts with us. You may make Bill Payments in any amount up to the amount in your account on any business day. Bill Payments may not be made to pay taxes or child support, alimony or other court-ordered obligations. Bill Pay service is provided through iPay Solutions, a third-party Internet Bill Payment service provider that is not affiliated with Bank of the Sierra. As used in this Agreement regarding the Bill Pay service, “Us” or “We” refers to Bank of the Sierra and/or iPay Solutions.

Payment Account. When you sign up for Bill Pay, you must designate a checking account with us as the account from which Bill Payments should be made (the “Payment Account”).

Payees. You may designate payees through Bill Pay (each, a “Payee”). You must provide sufficient information about each Payee as requested from time to time to properly direct a payment to that Payee and permit the Payee to identify the correct account to credit with your payment. This information may include, without limitation, the name and address of the Payee and your account number assigned by the Payee. The Payee must have a United States payment address that can be verified in the ordinary course of business.

Authorization. When you schedule a bill payment using Bill Pay, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions and transfer funds from your Payment Account with us to the Payee. We may refuse to act on your instruction if sufficient funds, including funds available under any overdraft plan, are not available in your Payment Account on the date you want us to process your payment (the “Processing Date”). We reserve the right to refuse to make any bill payment.

How Bill Payments are Made, Changed, or Canceled.
The “Payment Date” is the date in which the payee is scheduled to receive the payment. The Payment date may be up to four (4) business days after the date in which the payment is scheduled.

Method of Payment. You authorize us to make the bill payments you request through Bill Pay in any one of the following ways. Bill payments may be sent through an electronic transmission to the Payee. Payees that receive electronic delivery will receive your payment information, including your account number. A draft check drawn against your Payment Account with us to the payee. All checks are sent through the United States mail.

Recurring Payments. You may schedule a bill payment to be automatically initiated in a fixed amount on the same Payment Date every month by designating the bill payment as a “Recurring Payment.” The date on which a bill payment is scheduled to be initiated is referred to below as the “Processed Date.”

Change Payments. You may change a scheduled bill payment by editing the payment in your bill pay account prior to the “process date” for that transaction.

Cancel Payments. You may cancel a scheduled bill payment by cancelling the payment in your bill pay account prior to the “process date” for that transaction.

Scheduling Payments. We will deduct the Bill payment amount from your account in one of two ways, depending on the means by which the payment is made to the payee.

If the payee will accept electronic payments, the payment amount will be deducted from your account on the “Processed date.” If the payee will not accept electronic payments, and a laser draft drawn on your account is issued to the payee, the payment amount will be deducted from your account on the date that the payee presents the check for payment.

To ensure that your bill payments arrive on time, you must schedule the Payment Date for each bill payment to be at least four (4) Business Days before the Payment Due Date, not including any applicable grace period. This generally allows sufficient time for the Payee to receive and post your bill payment. We are not responsible for postal delays or processing delays by the Payee.

Sufficient Available Funds. If sufficient funds are not available in your Payment Account on the day that the bill payment is presented for payment, the Bank reserves the right to return the payment back to the payee as unpaid. You agree to pay an Insufficient Funds (NSF) fee as set forth in our Schedule of Fees and that the fee will be automatically debited to your Payment Account. If sufficient funds are not available in your Payment Account on the day that the bill payment is processed (electronic payments), the Bank will have iPay Solutions attempt to process the payment for six (6) additional times within a three day period. After the 6th attempt if there are still not sufficient funds for the payment, it will be canceled. An email notification will be sent to the email address within your Bill Pay profile for any payment canceled due to NSF.

General Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply, as appropriate, to your use of Online Banking and to Online Banking with Bill Pay.

Bill Pay is not allowed from a money market account or savings account. On money market and savings accounts, you are limited to six pre-authorized electronic fund transfers and telephone transfers, checks and point-of-sale transactions, per month. Each fund transfer through Online Banking from your savings or money market deposit Account is counted as one of the six transfers you are permitted each month.

NOTE: Email to any other address shall not be considered notice to us. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

• We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) Business Days 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. The above time frames may be extended to 20 days to determine whether an error occurred or to credit your account and 90 days to investigate your complaint if the error is alleged within the first 30 days after the first deposit to the account was made.

If you submit your transfer request prior to the deadline established by us for Mobile Banking transfer service, you will initiate an immediate Internal Transfer via Mobile Banking. Transfer transaction requests received after 7:00 p.m. PST on business days and all transactions which are requested on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays on which the Bank chooses to remain closed, will be processed on the Bank’s next business day.

You must have sufficient funds available in the selected account at the time the transfer request is received, including any available overdraft protection. We may process transfers that exceed your available balance at our sole discretion. If we process the transfer and unless your overdraft protection is provided via an Overdraft Line of Credit, you agree to cover any overdraft amount plus any applicable fees.

Federal regulations require financial institutions to limit the way withdrawals may be made from a savings or money market account. Each transfer from a savings or money market account using Mobile Banking is counted as one of the six limited transactions permitted each monthly statement cycle period, as described in the Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures. You may be subject to fees or account conversion if you exceed the transactions limits of your Account using Mobile Banking or any other methods outlined in your Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosures.

We may also limit the type, frequency and amount of transfers for security purposes and may change or impose the limits without notice, at our option.

You agree to confirm the completion of each transfer in your account balance and transaction history before withdrawing transferred funds.

5. Mobile Wallet
Description of Service: A mobile wallet is a way to carry your debit card information in a digital form on your mobile device. Instead of using your physical plastic card to make purchases, you can pay with your smartphone, tablet or smartwatch.

With Bank of the Sierra mobile wallets your card number is not visible to the merchant when you make a purchase, providing additional protection to your account. You will receive the same protection when using your mobile wallet that you will receive if using your debit card, which includes zero liability and MasterCard ID Theft Protection.

You agree that you will secure your mobile device the same as you would your cash, checks, credit cards and other valuable information. We encourage you to password protect or lock your Mobile Device to prevent an unauthorized person from using it. If you have enrolled in Overdraft Protection, those terms will apply to card transactions made through the Mobile Wallet. We may, at any time, partially or fully restrict your ability to make transactions through a Mobile Device.
