Your FNB Convenience Banking password is used only for FNB Convenience Banking and bill payment transactions.  You may be prompted from time to time to change your password for additional security.  You may change your password at any time by selecting the Change Password option from within the Settings menu.

12. Liability for Unauthorized Use

You will notify us immediately if you believe that your password has become known to an unauthorized person or if someone has transferred money or made payments without your permission.  You understand that calling us in such cases is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum.  If you suggest that an unauthorized transfer or bill payment may have occurred, we may require you to sign an affidavit verifying such occurrence.

You understand that you can lose all the money in your deposit accounts accessed through FNB Convenience Banking if you do not inform us that your password has become known to an unauthorized person.  If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50.00 if an unauthorized person used your password to access FNB Convenience Banking without your permission.

If you do not tell us within 2 business days after you learn that your password has become known to an unauthorized person, and we can prove that you could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us, you can be liable for as much as $500.00

If your statement shows electronic funds transfers that you did not make, you must notify us immediately.  The Bank may require you to provide your complaint in the form of an affidavit.  If you do not tell us about unauthorized transfers within 60 days after your account statement is mailed to you, you may not get back any money that you lose after the 60-day period if we can prove that, had you told us about the unauthorized transfer on time, we could have stopped someone from taking the money.  If you notify us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing or electronically within 10 business days.

13. Liability for Failure to Make Payments

If we do not send a bill payment or make a transfer on a timely basis, as set forth in this agreement, or in the correct amount according to your instructions, we may be liable for damages caused.  However, we will not be liable if:

  1.    Through no fault of ours, your designated funding account does not contain sufficient funds to make the payment or transfer, if your account is closed, or if it has been frozen; if the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts; if you, or anyone authorized by you, commits fraud or violates any law or regulation
  2.    The equipment, ATM network, phone lines, or computer systems were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  3.    Circumstances beyond our control, such as fire or flood, prevented the bill payment or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken
  4.    A court order or legal process prevents us from making a transfer or bill payment
  5.    You have reason to believe that there has been unauthorized use of your password and you fail to notify us as set forth above, or the payee does not process a payment correctly, or in a timely manner
  6.    If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information for the Bill Payment Service including, without limitation, the name, address, your payee-assigned account number, payment date, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment, if you have not properly followed the on-screen instruction for using FNB Convenience Banking

There may be other exceptions stated in other agreements with you.  If any of the circumstances listed in 3) or 4) above occur, the Bank shall assist you with reasonable efforts in taking appropriate corrective action to reprocess the transactions that may not have been completed or may have been processed incorrectly.  In no event shall the Bank be liable for consequential damages.

When you have scheduled a payment, you authorize the Financial Institution to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf.  You certify that your Payment Account is an account from which you are authorized to make payments and any payment you make will be debited from this account.  You also authorize the credit of returned payments from using the Bill Pay Service.

The Bill Pay Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Merchant.
