DOCUMENTATION
  1. Terminal Transfers.
    You should print a confirmation at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using PNB Online.

  2. Preauthorized Credits.
    If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can view the deposit in PNB Online to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

  3. In Addition.
    You will get a monthly account statement from us, unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In any case you will get a statement at least quarterly.

PREAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS
  1. Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so.
    If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments.

    Here is how:
    1. For payments made using PNB Bill Pay: you may edit or delete payments scheduled Sunday through Friday up until 10:00pm CST the day before the scheduled payment date you set. After this time, you must contact Bill Pay Customer Service.
    2. For all other payments: call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, in time for us to receive your request 3 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 you call.

  2. 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.)

  3. Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer.

    4. If you order us to stop one of these payments three business days before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages with the exception of:
    1. Payments scheduled and/or initiated through PNB Online or PNB Billpay services. PNB Online and PNB Billpay initiated transfers and payments are the sole responsibility of the PNB Online/Billpay customer.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S LIABILITY
  1. 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:
    1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
    2. If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
    3. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.

    2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
    3. In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
    4. If you give us written permission.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
  1. Consumer Liability.
    Tell us AT ONCE if you believe an unauthorized electronic transfer has been made. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all 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 than $50 if someone initiated an electronic transfer without your permission. (If you believe your user ID# and/or Password has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your user ID# and/or Password without your permission.

    If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your user ID# and/or Password and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your user ID# and/or Password without your permission if you had told us, you could 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

  2. Contact in event of unauthorized transfer.
    If you believe your user ID# and/or Password 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 in this disclosure.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE

In case of Errors or Questions about Your Electronic Transfers,

Call or Write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or 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 sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error or 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.
  3. 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 14 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 new account, an internet transaction, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account. An account is considered a new account for 30 days after the first deposit is made, if you are a new customer.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
