Other Basic Internet Banking Features

A.  Stop Payment Feature

The stop payment feature within the Service is only for stopping payments on checks that you have written.  This feature is accessible in the Internet Banking Service and provides a means to securely forward your stop payment requests to us for processing.

Use the Stop Payment Order form to request a Stop Payment on checks you have written. This form is NOT available to cancel transfers between accounts and/or any electronic bill payments. Stop payment fees are assessed for each check as published in our current Fee Schedule.

You direct County Bank (‘we’, ‘our’, or ‘us’) to comply with this Stop Payment Order.  The Stop Payment Order will not be effective until County Bank has received complete and accurate information necessary to identify the check and has a reasonable opportunity to process the request. If one of our banking locations has already cashed the check or charged your account, your Stop Payment Order cannot be honored. We assume no responsibility for honoring this Stop Payment Order if the description of the item that you provided us is inaccurate or incomplete, if the check number is wrong, the dollar amount is off by even a penny, or if you purchase your checks from a vendor not used or approved by us, our processing equipment may not catch the item in time.  You will not hold us responsible if that happens.

You agree to hold us harmless from all costs and expenses we incur, including attorney's fees for consultation, at trial, and any appeals due to our refusal to pay the item.  You agree not to hold us liable if the item is paid contrary to this Order and the payment is due to incorrect information you supplied.

This Stop Payment Order remains in effect for six months from the date it is requested and will automatically terminate six months from this date unless renewed in writing.

You must inform us of the exact amount of the item, the exact number of the check, the exact number of the account, and any other information we may require including the payee. If you do not give us the correct information, we may not be able to enforce the Stop Payment Order. We will not be responsible if you do not describe the check accurately. You may withdraw this order only in writing or in person at one of our branch offices.

You agree to the above terms and conditions and authorize the assessment of the applicable stop payment fee to the account affected by the Stop Payment Order.  You also certify that you are an authorized signer on the account affected by the Stop Payment Order.

B.  Check Reorders, Address Change, Order Documents, Secure E-Mail & Secure File Delivery Services

Additional features within the Service include: check reorders, secure emails for address changes, document requests, and secure file delivery.  The submission of requests, such as those for address changes, document requests, or check reorders, will generate a secure email to County Bank. Generally, requests received through the Service’s secure e-mail feature will be processed within one (1) to two (2) Business Days. For urgent requests, we recommend that you contact our Internet Banking Department.

We also offer a direct link for check reorders. This link will securely submit your reorder request directly to the check printer.  In addition, in Internet Banking, you can request Bill Payment services and the addition/ removal of Linked Accounts. The secure file transfer feature within the Service provides a means for you to forward files to County Bank in a secure manner.

Account Balances

Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance reflected in the Service may differ from your records due to deposits in progress, checks outstanding, or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. A transfer request must be made before the Business Day Cut-off time to be effective the same Business Day.

The balances within the Service are updated periodically and the Service will display the most current balance. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances.   The Service will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for account transfers.

Canceling or Changing Transfers

You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system AND the information has been processed and/or transmitted to us through the Service; however, you can edit or change a transfer that is still “pending”. 

In order to cancel or change a pending transfer, use the following procedures:

1.      Log in and make edits to the appropriate transaction.

2.      Edits must be made before 4 P.M. EST for transfers scheduled to be processed the same Business Day.

3.      You may edit a pre-scheduled (future dated/automatic) transfer any time before 4 P.M. EST on the Business Day before the scheduled transfer date.

4.      For transfers, you can change the transfer amount to $0.00, or

5.      If you accidentally transfer funds, you can schedule another transfer to move funds back to the original account.

Please refer to our fee schedule for additional information or contact us at (302) 226-9800 for current stop payment fees.  

If you order us to stop one of these transactions 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.

Separate agreements with Business Customers will detail the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to ACH transactions.

Canceling or Changing Wire Transfer Requests

Business Customers may be authorized for online wire transfer services. In these situations, separate agreements will detail wire transfer limits and the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to these types of transaction requests.  

If you have been approved for wire transfers, you may edit or delete these types of transactions prior to “approving” the transactions.  You may only edit or “unapproved” a pending wire request or ACH batch transaction prior to the scheduled payment or settlement date.  

When a wire transfer request is approved for the current date, it is transmitted to us immediately for processing. If a change is necessary, you must contact us immediately; in these situations, we may not have sufficient time to stop transaction from further processing.

Transaction Limitations

We may from time to time, limit the number of, the type, and dollar amounts of any checks, drafts, withdrawals, payments, or transfers made by use of our Internet Banking Services, notwithstanding the amount in your accounts. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold is removed. We may, at our discretion, allow your transfers to be paid and create an overdraft on the account. You agree to immediately reimburse us for the amount of the overdraft, and to pay any overdraft charges that may apply to your account, as set forth in your Account Agreement and Disclosures.

You authorize County Bank to withdraw, debit or charge the necessary funds from your designated County Bank account on the date on which you schedule any payment to begin processing or submit a transfer request. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your account(s) at the time of the withdrawal. It is necessary that collected funds be in your account no later than the business day before your Estimated Payment Date, Estimated Arrival Date or your Scheduled Transfer Date due to the electronic processing of payments.  

Current federal regulations restrict the number of transactions that you can make from certain types of accounts, such as Money Market and Savings Accounts.  For these types of accounts, you may make no more than six (6) transfers and withdrawals from your account to another account of yours or to a third party in any month or statement cycle by means of a preauthorized, automatic or internet transfer, by telephonic order or instruction, or by check, draft, debit card or similar order. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed. Please refer to your original account agreement for excessive activity fees that may apply.  Federal regulations currently place no limits on the number of transfers or Bill Payments from your checking accounts, therefore County Bank currently limits the Bill Payment Service to only checking accounts.

Bill Payment Terms and Conditions

A.  Bill Payment Scheduling

The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the Service when you are scheduling the Bill Payment.  Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. 

When scheduling Bill Payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day.  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 before the actual Due Date.  Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.

B.  The Bill Payment Service Guarantee

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account.  Except as expressly stated otherwise within this Agreement, County Bank and/or its Service Providers will bear the responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a Bill Payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under “Bill Payment Scheduling” in this Agreement.

C.  Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance

By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions received through the Service.  In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, our Service Provider may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.

When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize our Bill Payment Service Provider to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you.  You also authorize our Service Provider to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another Authorized User of the Service.

D.  Payment Methods

Our Bill Payment Service Provider reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, or a Direct Check Payment.

E.  Payment Cancellation Requests

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (if processing has not begun) by following the directions within the Service.  There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment.  However, once the Service has begun processing a Scheduled Payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted, as described within this Agreement.

F.  Bill Payment Stop Payment Requests 

You may cancel or edit a Scheduled Payment up until the time that payment processing begins.  There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment.  However, once the Service has begun processing a payment, it cannot be cancelled or edited, and a stop payment request must be submitted.  

We must have a reasonable opportunity to act upon any stop payment request made after payment processing has begun.  The ability of County Bank and its Service Provider to process a stop payment on a Bill Payment request that is already in process will depend on the payment method and whether or not the payment has cleared. 

If you need to place a stop payment request on any Bill Payment that has already been processed, you must contact our Customer Service department immediately at (302) 226-9800.

We will make every effort to accommodate your request, but we will have no liability for failing to do so unless the request is subject to the provisions contained in your depository account agreement or applicable law as it pertains to pre-authorized electronic funds transfer. You may stop payment of a preauthorized electronic fund transfer by notifying us at least 3 business days before the scheduled date of the transfer.

We may also require you to present your stop payment request in writing within fourteen (14) days from the date the request is made.  An oral stop-payment order ceases to be binding after 14 days if the consumer fails to provide the required written confirmation. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set forth in our fee schedule. 

If we complete a stop payment request on your behalf, Bill Payment privileges may be suspended pending recovery of funds by our Service Provider(s).

G.  Returned Payments

In using the Service, you understand that Billers and/or the United States Postal Service may return Bill Payments to our Service Provider for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller’s forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full.  Our Service Provider will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account.  You may receive notification from the Service of returned payments.

H.  Bill Payment Information Authorization 

Requests for Bill Payment privileges may not be fulfilled if County Bank and/or its Service Provider(s) cannot verify your identity and withdrawal authority over the specified accounts. Through your enrollment in the Bill Payment Service; you agree that County Bank and its Service Providers reserve the right to request a review of your credit rating at our own expense through an authorized bureau.  In addition, you agree that County Bank and its Service Providers reserve the right to obtain financial information regarding your account from a Biller or your Financial Institution (for example, to resolve payment posting problems or for verification). 

 I.  Prohibited Payments

Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service.  Payments to Internet gambling sites are also prohibited through the Service. 

J.  Exception Payments

Tax payments and court-ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service; however, such payments are discouraged and are scheduled at your own risk.  In no event shall County Bank or its Service Provider(s) be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments.  The Bill Payment Service Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service.  Research of exception payments shall be limited to proof of payment and/or unauthorized payments only.  All other research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected exception payments will be your sole responsibility.

K.  Limitations

We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment.  The Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you.  This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement.

We reserve the right to limit Scheduled Payments for any given transaction. Additionally, we reserve the right to limit your use of this functionality by imposing limits, hold times, or other measures should we believe that suspicious activity has occurred or may occur or for any other reason in order to preserve the integrity of the Service. County Bank reserves the right to verify any of the information you provide. Other account limitations are outlined in your various Account Agreements. County Bank shall have the right to terminate your use of the Bill Payment Service. Limitations include:

  • Consumer Customer: $50,000 per Item limit; and $100,000 Daily limit.
  • Business Customer: $150,000 per Item limit; and $300,000 Daily Limit. 

L.  Failed Transactions

In using the Service, you are requesting us to make payments for you from your Payment Account.  If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction will not be completed.  In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Service. 

Bill Delivery and Presentment

This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only and it is your sole responsibility to contact your Billers directly if you do not receive your statements.  In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Bill Payment Service’s electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:

A.  Information Provided to the Biller

We are unable to update or change your personal or business information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, with the electronic Biller.  Any changes will need to be made by you; contact the Biller directly.  Additionally, it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else’s information to gain unauthorized access to another person’s or company’s bill.

Our Service Provider may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your e-mail address, Service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller at the time of activating the electronic bill for that Biller, for purposes of the Biller informing you about Service and/or bill information.

B.  Activation

Upon activation of the electronic bill feature, our Service Provider may notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing information.  The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller.  Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller.  While your electronic bill feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current.  Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.

C.  Notification

Our Bill Payment Service Provider will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly.  In addition to notification within the Service, our Service Provider may send an e-mail notification to the e-mail address listed for your account.  It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate.  In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills.  The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.

D.  Cancellation of Electronic Bill Notification

The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time.  You may also cancel electronic bill presentment at any time.  The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller.  It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller.  Our Bill Payment Service Provider will notify your electronic Biller(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.  We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

E.  Non-Delivery of Electronic Bill(s)

You agree to hold harmless, County Bank and its Service Providers should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s).  You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.  Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.

F.  Accuracy and Dispute of Electronic Bill

Neither County Bank, nor its Service Providers are responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). County Bank and its Service Providers are only responsible for presenting the information received from the Biller.  Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be addressed with the Biller directly.

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

Privacy

We understand how important privacy is to our customers.  We have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your financial transactions with us.   You should read our Privacy Notice found on our homepage before completing the enrollment process for the Service.  

Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties 

It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential.  However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make ONLY in the following situations:

  • Where it is necessary for completing transfers or transactions;
  • Where it is necessary for activating additional services you request;
  • In order to verify the existence and condition of your account to a third party, such as, for example, a credit bureau, Biller or another financial institution;
  • Where required by a federal, state, or local law or regulation to do so;
  • In response to a subpoena or court order;
  • In the investigation or prosecution of alleged fraudulent activity concerning your accounts;
  • If you give us your permission; or
  • As may be otherwise authorized in other agreements with us and, for Consumers, as set forth in County Bank Privacy Notice.

Please refer to our Privacy Notice found on our homepage for additional detail on disclosure of account information.

Internet Security

The Internet Banking Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating your access to the Internet Banking Service, our Internet Banking Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with the Eligible Account (s) that you request to be linked to the Internet Banking Service.

User IDs and Passcodes  -  One of the main security features protecting the Internet Banking Service is the unique combination of your User ID and Passcode.  During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique User ID and Passcode. For security purposes, do not use your account number or social security number as your User ID.    Encryption and access controls are used to protect your Passcode within our database.  If you need to reset your Passcode, you may use our online automated Passcode reset feature or you may contact County Bank for assistance.

Because your Passcode is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.

  • You should carefully select a Passcode that is difficult to guess.
  • You should not use words based on your name, address or other personal information. 
  • Special characters may be used to increase security. 
  • Do NOT use dictionary words. 
  • Keep your Passcode safe.
  • Memorize your Passcode and do NOT write it down. 
  • You should also change your Passcode occasionally, such as every 90 days. 
  • Passcodes should not be shared with anyone, even Authorized Users.
  • The “Help” link within the Internet Banking Service will offer tips on choosing a secure Passcode that you can remember.

When you enroll for the Internet Banking Service you agree to change your Passcode immediately if you suspect that your Passcode has been compromised. 

NEITHER COUNTY BANK NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL CONTACT YOU BY TELEPHONE, EMAIL OR TEXT MESSAGING REQUESTING PERSONAL INFORMATION, SUCH AS YOUR USER ID, PASSCODE, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, ATM CARD NUMBER OR ATM PIN.  IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY ANYONE REQUESTING THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION, DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AND CONTACT OUR INTERNET BANKING DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. 

Encryption – The Internet Banking Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using Internet banking.  Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Internet Banking Service. 

Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from “open” to “locked”. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.

Certificate Authority - The servers hosting the Internet Banking Service have been certified by a certificate authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the Internet Banking Service instead of someone pretending to be us. By clicking on the lock within the Internet Banking Service, you can view the certificate to ensure it’s valid. 

Cookies - During your use of the Internet Banking Service, our Internet banking Service Provider will pass an encrypted session cookie to your computer that enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide a User ID and Passcode for each individual transaction.  You must accept this cookie to use the Internet Banking Service.  The session cookie is stored on your computer’s hard-drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on.  The session cookie does not contain any personal information.  When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the session cookie will be destroyed.  A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.  Our Service Provider also uses persistent or “permanent” cookies to identify County Bank and your computer as part of our enhanced security.   The permanent cookies will remain on your computer’s hard drive until you clear cookies with your browser.  If you do not accept these cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of the Internet Banking Service.

Multi-Level Authentication - We use multi-level authentication (or enhanced security) to help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts. As part of our enhanced security solution we may ask you to select challenge questions which may be used to help verify your identity in the event unusual login or transaction activity is detected.  We may also send you a One Time PIN (OTP) which can be used to help authenticate your login or transaction requests. 

Your Security Obligations

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATIONS, AND OPERATION OF YOUR COMPUTER INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF UPDATED ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION. 

NEITHER COUNTY BANK NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, ERRORS, DELETIONS, FAILURES, OR DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL OR BUSINESS ACCOUNT INFORMATION THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY VIRUS, TROJAN, SHARED PASSWORD, OR  MALFUNCTION OF YOUR COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE OR YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY MAINTAIN AND SECURE YOUR COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE. 

  • All Authorized Users should sign-off after every session.  While online sessions will automatically end after a period of inactivity, logging off can help protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended. 
  • Refrain from using public computers (e.g. computers in a library, Internet café or hotel business center) to access your online banking accounts.  The security of public or shared computers cannot be assured.
  • Always keep your computer’s operating system and browser fully patched for critical security issues.  We recommend use of the most current, fully patched, versions of Internet browsers for accessing the Internet Banking Service.
  • Always keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware software current and routinely scan your computer, servers, and electronic media using reliable virus detection and anti-spyware products.  Undetected or un-repaired viruses or malicious software (malware) may affect the performance of your computer, corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and even your hardware.  Furthermore, undetected or un-repaired viruses or malware may affect the security of online accounts and the privacy of personal information stored on your computer.  If your computer is compromised by some form of malware, virus, or Trojan, you could unintentionally transmit sensitive account information or personal data to another third party or transmit a virus to other computers.
  • Always use a firewall product (hardware and/or software), especially if you have a broadband Internet connection such as DSL or cable modem.
  • If you use a wireless Internet connection to access your online accounts, make sure that the wireless network is encrypted.

Occasionally we may post important security notices on our website and/or send online banking users security related notices or reminders; it is your responsibility to read all security notices.

Protecting Your Passcode

When you or your Authorized Users accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available your Passcode or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individual(s).  You are responsible for all transactions authorized or requested through the Internet Banking Service using a valid User ID and Passcode, including those situations when your User ID and Passcode are obtained due to compromise to your computer.   If you permit other persons to use the Internet Banking Service with your Passcode, or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize.

If you believe that your Passcode or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the Internet Banking Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling 302-226-9800 during customer service hours. You can also contact us by sending a secure message through the Internet Banking Service.

IF YOU OR YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS DISCLOSE YOUR PASSCODE TO ANYONE, AND/OR IF YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO USE YOUR PASSCODE TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNTS, YOU ARE AUTHORIZING THEM TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THE INTERNET BANKING SERVICE BY THEM (E.G., SUCH AS WHEN YOU PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDER, AN EMPLOYEE, AN AGGREGATION SERVICE PROVIDER, OR WHEN YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER IS COMPROMISED BY A KEY STROKE LOGGING VIRUS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MALWARE).

You agree that we may send notices and other communications, including Passcode change confirmations, to the current address shown in our records, whether or not that address includes a designation for delivery to the attention of any particular individual.

Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers and Bill Payments properly.  However, we shall incur no liability and any Bill Payment Service Guarantee shall be void if we are unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

1.      If, through no fault of ours, your Eligible Account(s) and/or Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account (if applicable);

2.      The Service and/or the payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by County Bank and/or its Service Providers about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;

3.      You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller;

4.      Your Eligible Account(s), including either your Payment Account or Billing Account, is closed;

5.      If your computer, software, telecommunication lines were not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or Bill Payment;

6.      It can be shown that the Biller received the Bill Payment within the normal delivery timeframe and failed to process the payment through no fault of ours;

7.      The payment or transaction request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal;

8.      We have reason to believe that a payment or other transaction request may not be authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary; and/or

9.      Circumstances beyond control of the Service, our Service Providers, and County Bank (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), or  Payment Account ,or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller, which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, County Bank and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

Documentation and Verification of Payments and Transfers

Information regarding Internet Banking and Bill Payment transactions will be reflected on the account detail in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).

Provisions Applicable Only to Consumer Deposit Accounts

A.  Errors and Questions

  • Contact us by using the secure messaging feature within the Service; or
  • Write to us at County Bank, 19927 Shuttle Rd., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.

If you think your statement is incorrect or you need more information about an electronic transfer or Bill Payment transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement was sent to you on which the problem or error appears.  You must:

1.  Tell us your name, relevant Service account number(s), and User ID;

2.  Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and,

3.  Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your verbal notification.  We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation.  If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error.  If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your account.

For errors regarding electronic transactions on new consumer accounts, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  We may take up to 20 Business Days to credit a new account for the amount you think is in error.

You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation. We may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.

B.  Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID or Passcode has been lost or stolen.  Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses.  You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit if applicable).

If customers who are Consumers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your Passcode, User ID used or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission.  If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your Passcode, User ID, or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.

If your monthly account statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once.  If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time.  If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

If you believe your User ID or Passcode has been lost or stolen, call: 302-226-9800 or write to us at County Bank, 19927 Shuttle Rd., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971.

You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

Provisions Applicable Only to Business Accounts

A.   Protecting Your Account(s)

The Service will allow Business Customers to establish individual User IDs, Passcodes, and privileges for each Authorized User. Transaction history is maintained for each User ID.  Additional fees may be assessed for each User ID or Company User that is established. 

Business Customer(s) will be solely responsible for designating its Authorized Users and assigning privileges within the service. 

As a security measure, Business Customers should evaluate and implement the dual control features within the Service for ACH Origination and wire transfers.

B.  ACH Origination

Authorized Users of Business Customers who have been approved for ACH Origination privileges may edit, delete, or “un-approve” ACH transactions prior to the scheduled date for the transaction.  Separate agreements will detail the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to ACH transactions.

BUSINESS CUSTOMER AGREES THAT WE MAY SEND NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS, INCLUDING EMAILS, TO THE CURRENT ADDRESS SHOWN IN OUR RECORDS, WHETHER OR NOT THAT ADDRESS INCLUDES A DESIGNATION FOR DELIVERY TO THE ATTENTION OF ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL.  YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT COUNTY BANK AND/OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY IF INFORMATION IS INTERCEPTED BY AN UNAUTHORIZED PERSON, EITHER IN TRANSIT OR AT YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS.   IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE TO:
