The availability of funds transferred to your Account from a linked bank account held by another financial institution follow different rules. Please refer to Section 3.5 for more information.

3.3 Problems that Could Occur With Deposits

If a deposit or transfer to your Account is returned or rejected by the paying financial institution for any reason, or if there is an error or mistake involving a deposit or transfer, we may deduct the amount of the deposit, transfer, or error without prior notice to you. If there are insufficient funds in your Account at the time, your Account may become overdrawn. Please refer to Section 3.9 concerning overdrafts for more information.

3.4 Withdrawals From Your Account

You may withdraw funds up to the amount of your Available Balance in your Account using any of the following methods, and subject to the following limits: 

Withdrawals

We reserve the right to amend the withdrawal transaction limitations in our discretion from time to time.  The withdrawal transaction limitations applicable to your Account will be available to you through the Online Banking Services.

If you have been issued a debit card for your Account, there may also be limitations that apply to your use of the card. Please refer to section 6 for information on any applicable debit card limitations and other terms.

You cannot withdraw funds by check, and we do not permit you to create checks drawn on your Account.

Before permitting a withdrawal or other transaction, we may request that you provide us with additional information or documentation that we deem necessary to confirm your identity or to prevent illegal activity. We may refuse the transaction if you do not comply with our request.

3.5 Transfers To or From Linked Bank Accounts

You may be provided with the ability to link another bank account you have with another financial institution (“linked bank account”) to your Account with us to make inbound and outbound ACH transfers between the linked bank account and your Account through the Online Banking Services. An “inbound transfer” moves funds into your Account from a linked bank account. An “outbound transfer” moves funds from your Account to a linked bank account. 

For inbound transfers, we will debit your linked bank account and credit your Account with us on the next business day after you initiate the transfer. The funds you transfer to your Account will be made available to you by the fifth (5th) business day after the funds have been credited to your Account.

For outbound transfers, we will debit your Account with us immediately and credit your linked bank account on the next business day after you initiate the transfer. The financial institution that holds your linked bank account determines when those funds will be made available to you in your linked bank account.

The cut-off time for both inbound and outbound transfers is 3:00 PM ET. Transfer requests that you make on a business day before the cut-off time will be considered initiated on that day. Transfer requests that you make after the cut-off time, or on a day that is not a business day, will be considered initiated the following business day that we are open.

There are limits to the dollar amount of both inbound and outbound transfers you can make. Please see sections 3.1 and 3.4 for relevant limitations. 

You agree that you will only attempt to link a bank account for which you have the authority to transfer funds. You also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims by any person related to the linked bank account, including any other owner of the linked bank account. You may only link a bank account that is a deposit account, such as a checking, savings or money market account.

3.6 No Illegal Activity, Internet Gambling and Right to Refuse Transactions

You must not use your Account for any illegal purposes or, regardless of whether it is legal or illegal, for internet gambling. We may deny any transaction or refuse to accept any deposit that we believe is related to illegal activity, online gambling or for any other reason at our discretion.

3.7 How We Post Transactions To Your Account and Determine Your Available Balance 

3.7.1 Posting Overview

To understand how we post transactions to your Account, it is important to first understand the difference between your Available Balance and your ledger balance. Your Available Balance is the amount of money you have in your Account at any given time that is available for you to use. Your ledger balance is the balance in your Account at the beginning of the day after we have posted all transactions to your Account from the day before. We use your Available Balance to authorize your transactions throughout the day and determine whether you have sufficient funds to pay your transactions. Here are some additional terms that are helpful to understand:

  • Credit and debit – A credit increases your balance and a debit decreases your balance.

  • Post or posted – Transactions that are paid from or deposited to your Account. Posted transactions will either increase or decrease both your Available Balance and your ledger balance.

  • Pending – Transactions that we receive notice of and are scheduled to post to your Account. Pending transactions affect your Available Balance, but not your ledger balance.

  • Card authorization and settlement – When you use a debit card to make a purchase, the transaction occurs in two steps: card authorization and settlement. Card authorizations reduce your Available Balance, but not your ledger balance. Settlement reduces both your Available Balance and your ledger balance. Card authorizations are removed when settlement occurs or after a certain number of days have passed, whichever is sooner. Please see Section 3.7.4 for more information about card authorizations and settlement.

3.7.2 Posting Order

We receive transactions throughout the day and post them to your Account as they are received and in the order that they are received. Note that for debit card transactions, we consider the transaction received when the merchant requests settlement, which may occur several days after you authorize the transaction. See Section 3.7.4 for additional information concerning how debit card transactions are processed.

We may change the order in which we post transactions to your Account at our discretion and without notice to you. It is therefore important for you to keep track of the deposits you make and the transactions you authorize to make sure there are sufficient funds in your Account to cover all transactions and any applicable fees.

3.7.3 Determining Your Available Balance

To determine your Available Balance, we start with your ledger balance at the beginning of the business day, add any pending credits or deposits that we make available to you, and subtract any card authorizations and pending debits. All transactions are debited or credited from your Available Balance in the order received.

You may check your available balance via Online Banking Services. Keep in mind that your Available Balance may not reflect every transaction you have initiated or previously authorized. For example, your Available Balance may not include transactions you have authorized that we have not received.

3.7.4 Debit Card Authorizations

If you are issued a debit card with your Account, you will be able to use your card to pay for goods or services or conduct other transactions with a merchant. When you engage in a transaction with a merchant using your debit card, the merchant will request preauthorization (“card authorization”) for the transaction. If there are sufficient available funds in your Account, we will approve the request and reduce your Available Balance for as long as the card authorization remains on your Account. 

Your Available Balance will generally be reduced by the amount of the card authorization. If you use your card at a restaurant, your Available Balance may be reduced by the amount of the card authorization plus up to an additional twenty (20) percent of that amount, to account for potential tipping. The card authorization will remain on your Account until the merchant sends us the final amount of the transaction and requests payment (“settlement”). In most cases, if the merchant does not request settlement, or the merchant is delayed in requesting settlement, the card authorization will automatically be removed after three (3) days. However, for certain merchants such as hotels and rental car companies, it may take up to thirty (30) days for the card authorization to be removed.

It is important to understand that the merchant controls the timing of card authorizations or settlement. A merchant may request settlement after the card authorization has been removed from your Account. This means that if you use the funds in your Account after the card authorization has been removed and the merchant later requests settlement, your Account may become overdrawn. A merchant may also request settlement for an amount that is different than the card authorization. Therefore, it is important that you keep track of your transactions and your balance. Once we have approved a card authorization, we cannot stop the transaction and you will be responsible for repaying any negative balance that may occur.

3.8 Statements

Statements will periodically be provided to you via Online Banking Services as long as your Account is not inactive. You will receive a statement monthly as long as you have transactions on your Account during the statement period. If there were no transactions on your Account, we will provide you statements at least quarterly. You will not receive paper statements.

3.9 Overdrafts, Nonsufficient Funds and Negative Balances

We do not permit you to overdraw your Account. If the Available Balance in your Account is not sufficient to cover any transaction you have authorized, we may return the transaction or refuse to process the transaction. However, there may be instances where your Account can still go into the negative, such as if a deposit you make is returned. You must make a deposit immediately to cover any negative balance. If your Account has a negative balance for sixty (60) calendar days or more, we may close your Account.

3.10 Closing Your Account and Account Suspensions

You can close your Account at any time and for any reason by sending an account closure request via the Online Banking Services.  We reserve the right to refuse your request if you have a negative balance on your Account. We recommend that you transfer or withdraw any funds you may have in the Account prior to submitting a request to close the Account to avoid delays in receiving your funds.

We may also suspend or close your account, or suspend or disable any service or feature of your Account, at our discretion with or without notice. This includes if we believe you are using your Account for fraudulent or illegal purposes or in violation of law or regulation, this Agreement, any other agreement you may have with us or Unit, if multiple transactions are returned on your Account, or if you otherwise present undue risk to us or Unit. We may also close your Account if you have not made any deposits or withdrawals from your Account in over twelve (12) months. In addition, cancelling your enrollment in the Online Banking Services with the Program Partner will result in our closure of the Account and return of your funds. We are not responsible to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of the closure or suspension of your Account.

If your Account is closed with a balance greater than $1.00, we will return any funds you may have in the Account to you by paper check. We reserve the right not to return the funds to you if the balance in your Account is $1.00 or less. The closure of your Account or termination of this Agreement does not impact any right or obligation that arose prior to closure or termination, or any right or obligation that, by its nature, should survive termination (including, but not limited to, any indemnification obligation by you, our limitations of liability, and any terms governing arbitration).

3.11 Dormancy, Inactivity and Unclaimed Property

State law and our policy govern when your Account is considered dormant. Your Account is usually considered dormant if you have not accessed your Account, communicated to us about your Account or otherwise shown an interest in your Account within the period of time specified under applicable law. Each state has varying laws as to when an account becomes dormant, and we may be required to send the balance in your Account if it becomes dormant to the state of your last known address. We will make reasonable efforts to contact you if required by applicable law before transferring the remaining balance of your Account to the applicable state. After we surrender the funds to the state, you must apply to the appropriate state agency to reclaim your funds. You can avoid the surrender of your funds by simply conducting transactions, contacting us about your Account or replying to any abandoned property notices we may provide to you.

We may also place your Account in an inactive status if you have not had any transaction for at least six (6) months. If your Account becomes inactive, you may not receive statements or be able to conduct certain transactions. Inactive Accounts must be reactivated. Contact us via the Online Banking Services      to reactivate your Account.

3.12 Account Fees and Fee Schedule

Fees are subject to change at any time. We will provide you advance notice of any changes where required by law. You agree to pay all fees and charges applicable to your Account whether assessed by the Program Partner or a third party. All fee amounts will be withdrawn from your Account and will be assessed regardless of whether you have sufficient funds in your Account, except where prohibited by law. 

Account fees

4. Electronic Fund Transfers

Your Account allows you to withdraw funds up to the Available Balance or make deposits through Electronic Fund Transfers (“EFTs”). EFTs are transactions that are processed by electronic means and include, among others, ACH transfers, debit card transactions and direct deposits. This Section provides you with information and important disclosures and terms about the EFTs that are permitted on your Account. You may also receive additional services through Online Banking Services provided by the Program Partner, that allow you to initiate EFTs to and from your Account that are not described in this Agreement. You will be provided separate agreements and disclosures applicable to those services by the Program Partner.

4.1 Types of EFTs Supported by Your Account

Your Account allows the following types of EFTs:

  • Direct deposits from your sources of income

  • Transfers to or from your Account to or from a linked bank account (see Section 3.5)

  • Transfers to or from your Account to a merchant or other third party by providing the third party with your Account routing number and account number

  • Purchases or other transactions using your debit card

  • ATM deposits or withdrawals using your debit card

4.2 Limitations on EFTs

There are limitations on the frequency and amount of transactions you can make to or from your Account. These limits are different for each type of transaction. For limits that apply to transactions that credit or deposit funds into your Account, please refer to Section 3.1 concerning deposits. For limits that apply to transactions that debit or withdraw from your Account, please refer to Section 3.4 concerning withdrawals. For limits that apply to transfers to or from your Account from a linked bank account, please refer to Section 3.5. These security-related limits may change from time to time.

If you have been issued a debit card for your Account, there may also be transaction limitations that apply to your use of the card. Please refer to section 6 for information on any debit card limitations and other terms.

4.3 Your Right to Receive Information and Documentation of Your Transactions

You will receive information and documentation concerning any EFTs that debit or credit your Account in the following ways:

  • Statements: We will provide you information about each transaction that debits or credits your Account on your statements. Please refer to Section 3.8 for information about statements. You may also access your transaction history via Online Banking Services. 

  • Direct Deposits: If you receive a direct deposit into your Account at least once every sixty (60) days from your employer or other person or company, you can check if the deposit has been made via the Online Banking Services.

  • Receipts: You can get a receipt at the time you make a withdrawal at an ATM or a purchase at a point-of-sale terminal using your debit card.

4.4 Preauthorized Transfers, Your Right to Stop Payment and Notices of Varying Amounts

If you authorize us or another company or person to withdraw from your Account on a regular basis (such as when you sign up for “autopay” to pay a monthly bill), it is called a Preauthorized Transfer. You have the right to place a stop payment on Preauthorized Transfers, as well as get notification when the amount of a particular withdrawal will be different from the amount of the last withdrawal.

4.4.1 Your Right to Stop Payment

If you authorize a company or person to take payments from your Account on a regular basis through a Preauthorized Transfer, you can stop any of these payments you can stop any of these payments by contacting us via the Online Banking Services at least three (3) business days before the next payment is scheduled to be made.

Make sure to provide us with (1) your name, (2) your Account number, (3) the company or person taking the payments, and (4) the date and amount of the scheduled payment you wish to stop. If you want all future payments from that company or person stopped, be sure to tell us that as well. If you do not provide us with the correct information, such as the correct payee or the correct amount of the payment you wish to stop, we may not be able to stop the payment.

4.4.2 Our Liability if We Fail To Stop a Preauthorized Transfer

If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled and provide us with all information requested, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by the failure. However, we will not be liable if the company or person initiating the payments changes the dollar amount of the payment or makes other changes that cause us not to recognize it as the payment you requested be stopped.

4.4.3 Notices of Varying Amounts

If these regular payments vary in amount, the person or company you are paying should tell you ten (10) days before each payment when it will be made and how much it will be. You may be given the option to only get this notice when the payment will differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount will fall outside certain limits that you set.

4.5 Our Liability for a Failure To Complete A Transaction

If we fail to complete a transaction on time or in the correct amount when properly instructed by you in accordance with this Agreement, we will be liable for damages proximately caused by the failure or error. However, there are some exceptions. We are not liable, for instance:

  • If the Available Balance in your Account is not sufficient to complete the transaction through no fault of ours.

  • If the ATM you use does not have enough cash.

  • If the failure is due to an equipment or system breakdown, such as a problem with the Online Banking Services provided by the Program Partner, that you knew about before you began a transaction.

  • The failure was caused by an Act of God, fire or other catastrophe, or any other cause beyond our control despite reasonable precautions we have taken.

  • If your funds are not available due to a hold or if your funds are subject to legal process.

  • If we do not complete a transaction because we or Unit has reason to believe the transaction is unauthorized or illegal.

  • If your Account is closed or inactive.

  • There may be additional exceptions stated in our or Unit’s agreements with you or permitted by law.

You could lose all the money in your Account (and any bank accounts with other institutions you have linked to your Account) if you take no action to notify us of the unauthorized EFT or the loss or theft of your debit card or Online Banking Services login credentials.

We can extend these time periods if extenuating circumstances (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from notifying us.

  • A description of the error or the EFT you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information;

  • The dollar amount of the suspected error; and 

  • If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing by email within ten (10) business days. 

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will provide you the results and correct any error promptly. If we need more time, we may take up to forty-five (45) days—or ninety (90) days for Accounts open less than thirty (30) days or foreign-initiated transactions — 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. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. For Accounts open less than thirty (30) days, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error.

We will notify you of the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation by email. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

5. Check Deposits and Mobile Deposit Services

As defined in the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (“Check 21”), a “check” is a draft, payable on demand and drawn on or payable through or at an office of a bank, whether or not negotiable, that is handled for forward collection or return, including substitute checks (see Section 5.1.1) and travelers checks.

You can only deposit checks into the Account using the mobile deposit capture services (the “MDC Services,” as further described herein) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

5.1 Substitute Checks and Your Rights

Federal rules for Check 21 allow banks to replace original checks with “substitute checks,” as defined in Check 21.  Below are the details and your rights related to substitute checks.

5.1.1 Substitute Checks

To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with “substitute checks.” These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: “This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.” You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check.

Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other law with respect to those transactions.

5.1.2 Your Rights Regarding Substitute Checks

In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees).

The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other law. If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within ten (10) business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) not later than forty-five (45) calendar days after we received your claim.

We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.

5.1.3 Claims for a Refund

If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us via the Online Banking Services. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances.

Your claim must include:

  • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);

  • An estimate of the amount of your loss;

  • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and

  • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute check: the account number, the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the date paid, and the amount of the check.

Substitute checks should only be generated by banks during the check collection process. If you deposit a substitute check that was not generated or previously handled by us, you agree to provide the substitute check warranties as required by Check 21, and represent that the substitute check:

  • is properly generated and accurately, clearly and completely represents all the information on the front and back of the original check as of the time the original check was truncated

  • bears a MICR encoded line that is suitable for automated processing in the same manner as the original check

  • has not previously been paid by the drawee bank, and

  • is not fraudulent.

A breach of any Check 21 warranty may result in the substitute check being charged back against your account.

5.2 The Mobile Deposit Capture Services

The MDC Services allow you to make deposits to your Account from a compatible mobile device by scanning or photographing checks and delivering the images and associated deposit information to us or our designated processor. By using the MDC Services, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rules that apply to mobile deposit check capture processing and ACH transaction processing.

5.2.1 Eligibility to Use the MDC Services

Accountholders adhering to all requirements described herein may be eligible to use the MDC Services. Not all Accounts are eligible for the MDC Services. We may terminate your use of the MDC Services at any time at our sole discretion. You may also stop using the MDC Services at any time. However, any images or information transmitted through your use of the MDC Services shall continue to be subject to this Agreement after termination. We may change our eligibility criteria at any time with or without notice to you.

To use the MDC Services, you must have an internet-enabled iOS or Android device with a camera, be enrolled in the Online Banking Service, and have downloaded our latest version of the Program Partner’s mobile application containing the MDC Services functionality.

5.2.2 Eligible Items

You agree that the only images you will scan or capture and deposit (“transmit”) to your Account through use of the MDC Services will be Eligible Items. “Eligible Items” include paper items that are defined as “checks” or “certified checks” under Federal Reserve Regulation CC and other paper items not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. You agree that images deemed to be Ineligible Items (see Section 5.2.3) may not be transmitted to your Account and will be rejected by us. You further agree that the image of the Eligible Item transmitted to us will be deemed an “item” within the meaning adopted in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Virginia of your Account.

5.2.3 Ineligible Items

You agree you will not use the MDC Services to scan or deposit images of items that: 

  • are not payable in United States currency; 

  • are not drawn on a financial institution located in the United States; 

  • are payable to someone other than you; 

  • are money orders, savings bonds, or traveler’s checks; 

  • are checks authorized over the telephone and created remotely; 

  • are images of a check that never existed in paper form; 

  • must be authorized or activated by us prior to being deposited; 

  • have already been deposited by or returned to you; 

  • are not legible or do not conform to our standards, as determined in our sole discretion; 

  • are fraudulent, not authorized, suspicious or not likely to be honored; 

  • are not dated, are post-dated, or are more than 6 months old when transmitted; 

  • do not comply with the requirements established from time to time by any applicable statute, regulation, regulatory agency, clearing house or association; 

  • we deem to be Ineligible Items herein or at any other time, with or without prior notice to you;

  • do not comply with the requirements of your Account Agreement; or

  • do not meet the Technical Requirements described in Section 5.2.4). 

These items, collectively, are “Ineligible Items” under this Agreement, and they are not eligible for deposit into your Account via the MDC Services.

5.2.4 Image Capture, Transmission, Processing and Payment

All images you transmit to us using the MDC Services must comply with the technical requirements we may specify from time to time (the “Technical Requirements”). You are responsible for all expenses you incur to meet the Technical Requirements. We reserve the right to change the Technical Requirements at any time without prior notice. 

You are responsible for reviewing and validating the accuracy and completeness of any information you transmit to us, including but not limited to the amount indicated on the item and the legibility of the image transmitted. You will only submit check images that meet our quality standards. You will not transmit an image or images of the same check to us more than once and will not deposit or negotiate, or seek to deposit or negotiate, such check or item with us or any other party. 

You shall be solely responsible for ensuring the quality, accuracy and completeness of the images you transmit using the MDC Services. You shall be solely responsible for the selection, use and operation of the mobile device you use to transmit images.  

We can attempt to process, collect, present for payment, return or re-present images you attempt to transmit in any way we choose that is allowed by law. 

We can also reject any transmission for any reason at our option and without liability. If your transmission is rejected, the image you attempted to transmit will not appear on your Account statement or in any transaction history made available to you by us. An image shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from us that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was an Eligible Item or accepted.

If an image does not meet our requirements, we can also at our option: 

  • process the image as received for payment; 

  • correct the image or its accompanying data and process the corrected image for payment; 

  • process the deposit for payment in another format as allowed; or 

  • debit (chargeback) your Account for the amount indicated in the image. 

Successfully transmitting an image to us does not mean that your transmission and deposit are complete. All of your images are subject to our further verification prior to being accepted for deposit and payment. Do not destroy the item transmitted as an image until you see the full deposit amount posted when you view your transaction history via the Online Banking Services.

5.2.5 Limits for the MDC Services

There may be limitations on the frequency and amount of transactions you can make using the MDC Services. Please refer to Section 3.1 concerning deposit limitations for information on transaction limitations that will apply to your use of the MDC Services.

5.2.6 Required Endorsements on Items You Deposit and Managing the Original Item

When you transmit an image to us, you will still have possession of the original item. To prevent an additional submission of the item for payment, you are required take the following steps: 

  • Before you transmit an image to us, you must endorse the original item being captured for transmission by signing the back of the original item and writing the words “For mobile deposit at Blue Ridge Bank only” either above or below your signature. 

  • After you transmit the image to us, you should write the date and the words “Deposited by MDC” on the front of the item and keep the original item in a safe place;

You should not deposit or attempt to cash the item after transmitting the image to us.

5.2.7 Availability of Your Deposits Using the MDC Services

You acknowledge that items transmitted using the MDC Services are not subject to the funds availability rules contained in Regulation CC. Funds deposited using the MDC Services will ordinarily be made available to you for withdrawal within five (5) business days after the day you make your deposit. See Section 5.2.8 for information concerning how we determine the day your deposit is made.  We may make such funds available sooner or later based on the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and other security and risk-related factors as we, in our sole discretion, deem relevant.

5.2.8 Cutoff Times for Deposits Using the MDC Services

If you successfully transmit an image to us before the cutoff time of 7:00pm ET for the Account on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. After that time or on a day we are not open, we will consider the deposit to be made on the next business day that we are open.

5.2.9 Errors

You agree to notify us of any suspected errors regarding items transmitted through the MDC Services right away, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the first Account statement on which the error appears is made available to you. Unless you notify us of an error within sixty (60) days after the applicable Account statement is made available to you, all deposits made through the MDC Services that appear on that statement shall be deemed correct and we will have no obligation to investigate any claim of error you make.

5.2.10 Chargeback

We can chargeback your Account or any other deposit account you have with us for the amount of any item, its image or any other representation of an item that is: 

  • returned to us; or 

  • is rejected by us for any reason, including when we believe it has been previously submitted or deposited with us or with anyone else. 

This is true even if you have made withdrawals against any amount we have credited to your Account for the deposited item that was returned or rejected. 

We can also charge fees connected to the chargeback as described in your Account Agreement and any other agreements you have with us.

5.2.11 Fees

There are no fees associated with your use of the MDC services. 

5.2.12 Security

You are responsible for protecting your mobile device against unauthorized use as well as any losses and damages from unauthorized access. You will protect your mobile device, set up strong passcode and take other reasonable security precautions to protect your mobile device from unauthorized use. Always keep your passcode secret and remember that neither we nor any of our employees or agents will ever ask for your passcode. If you receive a communication from anyone requesting that you provide your passcode, do not respond. We are not responsible or obligated for any of these security precautions. If another person uses the MDC Services with your mobile device, you will be responsible for their actions on the Account as well as anyone else they allow to use your mobile device. This will be true even if you did not want, or agree to, their use.

If your mobile device is lost or stolen, or if you believe there has been unauthorized activity involving the MDC Services, tell us immediately by contacting us via the Online Banking Services and promptly change your passcode.

5.2.13 MDC Services Disruption

The MDC Services might not be available from time to time due to maintenance, technical problems or other reasons. We are not responsible if the MDC Services are not available. We cannot assume responsibility for any technical or other difficulties or any resulting damages that you may incur. We reserve the right to change, suspend, discontinue, or limit your use of the MDC Services, in whole or in part, immediately and at any time without prior notice to you.

5.2.14 Ownership and License

You agree that we retain all ownership and proprietary rights in the MDC Services, associated content, technology, and website(s). Your use of the MDC Services is subject to and conditioned upon your complete compliance with this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, any breach of this Agreement immediately terminates your right to use the MDC Services. Without limiting the restriction of the foregoing, you may not use the MDC Services: 

  • in any anti-competitive manner; 

  • for any purpose which would be contrary to our business interests (as deemed by us in our sole discretion); or 

  • to our actual or potential economic disadvantage in any aspect. 

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from the content and agree not to reverse engineer or reverse compile any of the technology used to provide the MDC Services.

5.2.15 Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us, and any of our services providers responsible for administering the MDC Services, harmless from any losses incurred from (1) your breach of the Agreement, (2) a return of a check deposit made using the MDC Services due to incomplete or incorrect information provided, a closed account, or insufficient funds, and (3) fraudulent activity. 

YOU AGREE YOUR USE OF THE MDC SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION AND CONTENT (INCLUDING THAT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS) IS AT YOUR RISK AND IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND AS TO THE USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL (i) MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (ii) BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR (iii) PROVIDE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE RESULTS.

You agree that neither we nor any service provider we use to facilitate the MDC Services will be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other losses resulting from the use or the inability to use the Service incurred by you or any third party arising from or related to the use of, inability to use, or the termination of the use of the MDC Services, regardless of the form of action or claim (whether contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise), even if we have been informed of the possibility thereof.

5.2.16 Termination

We may terminate your access to the MDC Services for any or not reason, including due to your material breach of this Agreement, your fraudulent actions or omissions with respect to your use of the MDC Services, if you become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, or if there is a change in the Rules that govern your use of the MDC Services. 

5.2.17 Third-Party Beneficiary

6. Debit Card Provisions

6.1 Activating the Card and Setting a Pin

6.1.1 Debit Card Provisions Acceptance and Card Activation

This Card requires activation before the Authorized User may use it. The Authorized User may activate the Card by calling 1-833-333-0417. The Authorized User’s activation and use of the Card means that the Authorized User agrees to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement.

If the Authorized User does not want to activate the Card, the Authorized User should cut the Card in half and dispose of it.

6.1.2 Personal Identification Number (PIN)

The Authorized User will be required to select a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) prior to using the Card for the first time. The 4-digit numerical PIN issued to you is for security purposes. The PIN represents your signature authorizing transactions made using your Card(s), identifies the bearer of the Card, and serves to validate and authenticate the directions given to complete the Card transactions. 

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFEKEEPING YOUR PIN. YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS SO NO ONE ELSE LEARNS YOUR PIN AND YOU AGREE NOT TO DISCLOSE OR OTHERWISE MAKE YOUR PIN AVAILABLE TO ANYONE NOT AUTHORIZED TO SIGN ON YOUR DEPOSIT.      

Your PIN should NOT be written on the Card or anywhere it is available to others for use by lawful and/or unlawful means.

6.1.3 Permissible Uses of Your Card

You agree that the Authorized User will use the Card only for personal, household or family purposes and it will not be used for any business purposes.

6.2 Use of the Card

6.2.1 No Secondary Cardholders

The Card is solely for the Authorized User’s use and you may not request an additional card for another person. If you give anyone else access to your Card, we will treat any transaction they initiate as authorized by you, and you will be responsible for all transactions and fees that occur.

6.2.2 ATM Cash Deposits

With your PIN, the Authorized User can use the Card to deposit cash into the Account at an in-network ATM. You can identify an in-network ATM by looking for the Allpoint logo on or near the ATM. The Authorized User cannot make cash deposits at out-of-network ATMs.

6.2.3 ATM and Point-of-Sales PIN Withdrawals

With your PIN, the Authorized User can use your Card to obtain cash from the Account up to the Available Balance at any ATM or any Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device in the United States that displays the Visa, VisaATM, Plus, Interlink, or Accel acceptance marks. Not all merchants will permit the Authorized User to get cash back through their POS devices.

If you use an ATM, including a balance inquiry, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator even if you do not complete a withdrawal. This ATM fee is a third-party fee assessed by the individual ATM operator only and is not assessed or controlled by us. This ATM fee amount will be charged to your Account.

6.2.4 Retail Card Purchases

The Authorized User may use the Card to make purchases using your PIN at any merchant with a POS device anywhere that displays the Visa, VisaATM, Plus, Interlink, or Accel acceptance marks. The Authorized User may also use the Card to make purchases without the PIN anywhere that Visa debit cards are accepted.

6.2.5 Split Transactions

The Authorized User can instruct a merchant to charge the Authorized User’s Card for part of a purchase and pay any remaining amount with cash or another card. This is called a “split transaction.” Some merchants do not permit split transactions. If the Authorized User wishes to conduct a split transaction, the Authorized User must tell the merchant the exact amount they would like charged to the Card. If the Authorized User fails to inform the merchant they would like to complete a split transaction and they do not have sufficient available funds in the Account to cover the entire purchase amount, the Card is likely to be declined.

6.2.6 Card-Not-Present Transactions

The Authorized User may make retail card purchases without presenting the Card by providing information from the Card, such as transactions done by internet or telephone. Conducting transactions in this way has the same legal effect as if you used the plastic Card itself. For security reasons, the amount or number card-not-present transactions you are permitted to make may be limited.

6.2.7 Virtual Card Use

When you open an Account, the Authorized User may also receive a virtual card (“Virtual Card”) represented by a 16-digit card number, a 3-digit card verification value (“CVV”) number, and an expiration date. Within the Online Banking Services, Virtual Cards may also be referred to as “digital cards.”  

The Virtual Card is separate from the physical Card and can be managed through the Online Banking Services (see Section 1.3). We will issue a replacement Virtual Card when it expires. The Virtual Card accesses the available funds in your Account to make card-not-present transactions (see Section 6.2.6) anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted in the same way as your physical Card. The Virtual Card can also be added to a digital wallet (see Section 6.2.8) in the same way as the physical Card. The Authorized User’s use of the Virtual Card is subject to the terms of this Agreement, including transaction limitations, to the same extent as your physical Card.       

6.2.8 Use of the Card with Digital Wallets

A digital wallet (“Wallet”) provides another way for the Authorized User to make purchases with the Card. A digital wallet is a service provided by another company (such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.), that allows the Authorized User to use the Card to pay for transactions where the Wallet is accepted. A Wallet may not be accepted at all places where the Card is otherwise accepted, and the Card may not be eligible for all the features and functionalities of the Wallet. Any use of the Authorized User’s Card in or through the Wallet continues to be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may terminate the Authorized User’s access to or use of the Card with a Wallet at any time and for any reason, including if you violate any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.

The Authorized User can add or remove the Card from a Wallet by following the instructions provided by the Wallet provider. By doing this, the Authorized User agrees to allow us to share the Card information with the Wallet provider. The Authorized User may be required to take additional steps to authenticate their identity before the Card is added to the Wallet. We do not charge the Authorized User any additional fees for adding the Card to a Wallet or for using the Card in the Wallet. The Wallet provider and other third parties such as wireless companies or data service providers may charge you fees. The digital version of the Card in a Wallet may, in our sole discretion, be automatically updated or upgraded without notice to you or the Authorized User.

We are not the provider of the Wallet, and we are not responsible for providing the Wallet service to you or for ensuring that your Card is compatible with any Wallet service. We are only responsible for supplying information to the Wallet provider to allow usage of your Card in the Wallet as you have requested. We are not responsible for any failure of the Wallet, any mobile device you use with the Wallet, or the inability to use the Wallet for any transaction. We are not responsible for the performance of services by any Wallet provider or any other third parties regarding any agreement you enter. We do not control the privacy and security of any of your information that may be held by the Wallet provider. Any information held by the Wallet provider is governed by the privacy policy given to you by the Wallet provider. If you have location services enabled on your mobile device, the location of your mobile device may be collected and shared by the Wallet provider in accordance with their respective data and privacy policies, including with us. If you request to add your Card to a Wallet, you authorize us to collect, transmit, store, use and share information about you, your mobile device, and your use of the Card in accordance with our privacy policy, as amended from time to time, available at https://www.mybrb.com/privacy-policy.html.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF A WALLET, YOUR USE OF THE CARD OR VIRTUAL CARD IN CONNECTION WITH A WALLET, OR A MOBILE DEVICE.

If you use a Wallet, you should protect your Wallet and your mobile device as you would your Card. If your Wallet or mobile device is compromised, lost or stolen, you should also consider your Card lost or stolen and notify us immediately. Please see Section 6.5 for instructions for reporting a lost or stolen Card.

If you have any questions, disputes, or complaints about a Wallet, contact the Wallet provider using the information given to you by the provider.

6.2.9 Foreign Transactions

Charges from foreign merchants and financial institutions may be made in a foreign currency. We will bill you in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the day we settle the transaction, plus any special currency exchange charges that may be imposed by us, the Visa network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction.

The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date. This rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and the date it is posted to your Account.

Regardless of whether the transaction is made in foreign currency or in U.S. dollars, additional fees may apply to all international transactions using the Card. Please refer to Section 3.12 for more information about our fees.

6.2.10 Card Authorization Holds

When the Authorized User uses the Card to purchase goods or services or to obtain cash from a merchant, the merchant may request preauthorization (“Card Authorization”) for the transaction. If the merchant makes such a request and there are sufficient available funds in the Account, we will approve the transaction and place a temporary hold on the funds in the Account. This hold will reduce the Available Balance in the Account. The amount of this temporary hold will usually be the amount of the Card Authorization. The hold will remain on your Account until the merchant sends the final amount of the transaction to us and requests payment (“Settlement”). In most cases, if the merchant does not request Settlement or is delayed in requesting settlement, the hold will automatically be removed after three (3) days. However, for transactions with certain merchants, such as hotels, the hold may remain on your account up to seven (7) days.

Please note that the merchant controls the timing of both the Card Authorization and Settlement. This means that a merchant may initiate Settlement after the Card Authorization hold has already been removed. If the hold is removed and the Authorized User spends the funds in the Account before Settlement, it may cause the Account to overdraw. In addition, the Card Authorization amount that the merchant requests may be different than the Settlement amount. It is therefore very important that the Authorized User keeps track of their transactions and the Account. We cannot stop a Card transaction once we have approved a Card Authorization and you will be responsible for repaying any negative balance that may occur in your Account.

6.3 Returns and Refunds 

Please be aware of the merchant’s return policies before using your Card to make a purchase. Neither the Bank nor the Program Partner is responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of the goods or services you purchase using your Card. If you have a problem with a purchase that you made with your Card or if you have a dispute with the merchant, you must handle it directly with the merchant. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained using your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card for the refund and agree to the refund policy of the merchant. The amounts credited to your Card for refunds may not be available for up to five (5) days from the date the refund transaction occurs.

6.4 Additional Benefits from Visa and Fraud Alerts Program

Your Card may also be eligible for certain benefits provided by Visa. Please see the Visa Debit Card Benefits Guide (https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/debit-cards.html) for a full description of all additional benefits to which you may be eligible, specifically Visa Zero Liability Benefits (https://usa.visa.com/pay-with-visa/visa-chip-technology-consumers/zero-liability-policy.html). You are also eligible for Visa’s Fraud Alerts Program.

6.4.1 Fraud Alerts Program Overview

Messaging frequency depends on account activity.  For more information, text HELP to 23618.  To cancel fraud text messaging services at any time reply STOP to any alert from your mobile device.

For Fraud alerts support, call 1-833-333-0417.  By giving us your mobile number, you agree that Fraud Alerts text messaging is authorized to notify you of suspected incidents of financial or identity fraud.  HELP instructions: Text HELP to 23618 for help. Standard text messaging rates will apply. 

6.4.1.1 Stop Instructions

Text STOP to 23618 to cancel.

6.4.1.2 Release of Liability

Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered to you if your phone is not in the range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time.  Even within coverage, factors beyond the control of wireless carriers may interfere with messages delivery for which the carrier is not responsible.  Carriers do not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.

6.5 Errors and Lost or Stolen Cards

6.5.1 Error Resolution

In case of errors or questions about your Card transactions callus at 1-833-333-0417as 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.

  • Tell us your name and account number (if any).

  • 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.

  • 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 ten (10) business days.

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 forty-five (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. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account.

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

We will notify you of the results within three (3) 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.

6.5.2 Reporting Lost or Stolen Cards

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen or if you believe that a transaction has been made without your permission. Reporting the unauthorized use is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card or PIN without permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

If you need to report your Card as lost or stolen, report an unauthorized transaction, or replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at 1-833-333-0417seven days a week, 24 hours a day. You will be required to provide personal information so that we may verify your identity before we will issue you a replacement Card.

6.6 Cancellation of Your Card

We may refuse to issue, or we may deactivate, revoke, suspend or cancel your Card at any time with or without notice to you, other than as required by law. This includes deactivating or canceling your Card if it has been lost or stolen to prevent unauthorized transactions. You agree not to use your Card once it has been deactivated, revoked, suspended or canceled. We may also limit your use of the Card, including limiting or prohibiting specific types of transactions. If you would like to cancel your Card, you may do so at any time by contacting us through the Online Banking Services. 

The cancellation of your Card privileges will not otherwise affect your rights and obligations related to your Account.

7.10 Governing Law, Forum and Time Limits

You agree that any dispute arising under this Agreement or relating in any way to your relationship with us that is not arbitrated will be resolved in a federal or state court located in Virginia and that you will be subject to such court’s jurisdiction.

Except where prohibited by law, you agree that you must file any lawsuit or arbitration against us within two (2) years after the claim arises unless federal or Virginia law, or another agreement you have with us, provides for a shorter time. If federal or Virginia law requires a longer time period than the time periods in this Agreement, you agree to the shortest time period permitted under the law.

9. Arbitration and Waivers

BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US. 

9.1 Election to Arbitrate 

You, Mos and the Bank agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 9 (the “Arbitration Provision”). As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and us on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from this Agreement, including the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. Please note that you may continue to assert Claims in small claims court, if your Claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

9.2 Applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers 

This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

9.3 Informal Dispute Resolution

If a Claim arises, our goal is to address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that before filing any claim in arbitration, you will first submit your Claim to us via chat through the Online Banking Services and provide us with the opportunity to resolve your concern prior to initiating arbitration.

9.4 Arbitration Procedures 

The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or Judicial Alternatives and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. If you have any questions concerning the AAA or would like to obtain a copy of the AAA arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 778-7879 or visit the AAA's web site at: www.adr.org. If you have any questions concerning JAMS or would like to obtain a copy of the JAMS arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 352-5267 or visit their web site at: www.jamsadr.com. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, or any other location we agree to.

9.5 Arbitration Fees

If we initiate arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you initiate arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

9.6 Appeals 

Within thirty (30) days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within thirty (30) days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator's rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

9.7 No Class Actions

NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this Section 9.7, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this Section 9.7 shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

9.8 Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision

This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than Section 9.7 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Arbitration Provision’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or particular term, then that claim (and only that claim) or that term (and only that term) must be severed from the Arbitration Provision and may be brought in court. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in Section 9.7 are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.7 to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

9.9 Judicial Forum for Claims

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, if this Arbitration Provision is found not to apply to you or your Claim, you and the Bank agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Virginia. Both you and the Bank consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

9.10 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO LITIGATE 

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, BUT ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THAT RIGHT BY AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ARBITRATION PROVISION.

Mos VISA Debit Minor Cardholder Agreement

Please read this Mos Minor Cardholder Agreement (the “Agreement”) carefully and retain it for your future reference. This Agreement applies to all transactions resulting from the use of your Debit Card (the “Card”) through an automated teller machine (ATM), a Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal or any other use of the Card(s), whether electronic or not, which has been made available to you by Askmos, Inc. (“Program Partner”), the program partner responsible for managing the Card program, in partnership with Blue Ridge Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for your records. The agreement you make with us, and the rights and obligations we both have, are governed by and interpreted according to the state of Virginia and federal law. This Agreement, together with other agreements or disclosures you may receive from us, such as the Mos Minor Consumer Deposit Account Agreement, establishes our and your rights and obligations.

When you see the words “we,” “us,” or “our” in this Agreement, it refers to the Bank, the Program Partner acting as agent for the Bank, and any of the Bank’s affiliates, successors, assignees, agents or service providers. When you see the words “you” or “your,” it refers to you, the Sponsor of the Account, the Minor, the Authorized User of the Account, as well as your personal representatives, executors, administrators, and successors.

You authorize us to pay from your deposit account (“Account”) the total amount of any transaction originated by proper use of the Card. You also agree that the use of the Card described in this Agreement shall be subject to the rules, regulations and fees governing each deposit account which is accessed by such Card, including but not limited to the Bank's right of set-off.

  1. Activating the Card and Setting a PIN

    1. 1.1 Card Agreement Acceptance and Card Activation

  2. This Card requires activation before you may use it. You may activate the Card by calling 1-833-333-0417. Your activation and use of the Card means that you agree to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement.

    If you do not want to activate the Card, you should cut the Card in half and dispose of it. 

Personal Identification Number (PIN)

  1. You will be required to select a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) prior to using the Card for the first time. The 4-digit numerical PIN issued to you is for security purposes. The PIN represents your signature authorizing transactions made using your Card(s), identifies the bearer of the Card, and serves to validate and authenticate the directions given to complete the Card transactions. 

    YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFEKEEPING YOUR PIN. YOU AGREE TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS SO NO ONE ELSE LEARNS YOUR PIN AND YOU AGREE NOT TO DISCLOSE OR OTHERWISE MAKE YOUR PIN AVAILABLE TO ANYONE NOT AUTHORIZED TO SIGN ON YOUR DEPOSIT AND/OR LOAN ACCOUNT(S).

    Your PIN should NOT be written on the Card or anywhere it is available to others for use by lawful and/or unlawful means.

Permissible Uses of Your Card

  1. You agree that by allowing the Minor to use the Account as an Authorized User, you are responsible for the Minor’s compliance with this Agreement. You are responsible for all Authorized Users’ use of the Card and compliance with this Agreement. You agree that the Authorized User will use the Card only for personal, household or family purposes and it will not be used for any business purposes. 

    With your PIN, the Authorized User can use the Card to deposit cash into your Account at an in-network ATM. The Authorized User can identify an in-network ATM by looking for the Allpoint logo on or near the ATM. The Authorized User cannot make cash deposits at out-of-network ATMs.

ATM and Point-of-Sale PIN Withdrawals

  1. With your PIN, the Authorized User can use your Card to obtain cash from your Account up to your Available Balance at any ATM or any Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device in the United States that displays the Visa, VisaATM, Plus, Interlink, or Accel acceptance marks. Not all merchants will permit the Authorized User to get cash back through their POS devices.

    If the Authorized User uses an ATM, including a balance inquiry, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator even if you do not complete a withdrawal. This ATM fee is a third-party fee assessed by the individual ATM operator only and is not assessed or controlled by us. This ATM fee amount will be charged to your Account in addition to any applicable fees disclosed in this Agreement or your Account Agreement.

    The Authorized User may use the Card to make purchases using your PIN at any merchant with a POS device anywhere that displays the Visa, VisaATM , Plus, Interlink, or Accel acceptance marks. The Authorized User may also use the Card to make purchases without your PIN anywhere that Visa debit cards are accepted.

Split Transactions

  1. The Authorized User can instruct a merchant to charge the Card for part of a purchase and pay any remaining amount with cash or another card. This is called a “split transaction.” Some merchants do not permit split transactions. If you wish to conduct a split transaction, the Authorized User must tell the merchant the exact amount they would like charged to the Card. If the Authorized User fails to inform the merchant they would like to complete a split transaction and you do not have sufficient available funds in your Account to cover the entire purchase amount, the Card is likely to be declined.

    The Authorized User may make retail card purchases without presenting your Card by providing information from the Card, such as transactions done by internet or telephone. Conducting transactions in this way has the same legal effect as if you used the plastic Card itself. For security reasons, the amount or number of such transactions you may make may be limited.

Virtual Card Use

When you open an Account, you will also receive a virtual card (“Virtual Card”) represented by a 16-digit card number, a 3-digit card verification value (“CVV”) number, and an expiration date. The Virtual Card is separate from your physical Card and can be managed through the Online Banking Services (see Section 1.3 of the Account Agreement). We will issue you a replacement Virtual Card when it expires. The Virtual Card accesses the available funds in your Account to make card-not-present transactions (see Section 2.5) anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted in the same way as your physical Card. The Virtual Card can also be added to a digital wallet (see Section 2.7) in the same way as your physical Card. The Authorized User’s use of the Virtual Card is subject to the terms of this Agreement, including transaction limitations, to the same extent as your physical Card.

A digital wallet (“Wallet”) provides another way for you to make purchases with your Card. A digital wallet is a service provided by another company (such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.), that allows you to use your Card to enter into transactions where the Wallet is accepted. A Wallet may not be accepted at all places where your Card is otherwise accepted, and your Card may not be eligible for all the features and functionalities of the Wallet. Any use of your Card in or through the Wallet continues to be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may terminate your access to or use of your Card with a Wallet at any time and for any reason, including if you violate any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.

The Authorized User can add or remove the Card from a Wallet by following the instructions provided by the Wallet provider. By doing this, the Authorized User agrees to allow us to share the Card information with the Wallet provider. The Authorized User may be required to take additional steps to authenticate themself before the Card is added to the Wallet. We do not charge you any additional fees for adding your Card to a Wallet or for using your Card in the Wallet. However, any fees and charges that would apply when you use your Card outside the Wallet will also apply when you use a Wallet to make purchases with your Card or otherwise access your Card. The Wallet provider and other third parties such as wireless companies or data service providers may charge you fees. The digital version of your Card in a Wallet may, in our sole discretion, be automatically updated or upgraded without notice to you.

We are not the provider of the Wallet, and we are not responsible for providing the Wallet service to you or for ensuring that your Card is compatible with any Wallet service. We are only responsible for supplying information to the Wallet provider to allow usage of your Card in the Wallet as you have requested. We are not responsible for any failure of the Wallet, any mobile device you use with the Wallet, or the inability to use the Wallet for any transaction. We are not responsible for how the Wallet provider performs its services or any other third parties regarding any agreement you enter into with the Wallet provider or other third party. We do not control the privacy and security of any of your information that may be held by the Wallet provider. Any information held by the Wallet provider is governed by the privacy policy given to you by the Wallet provider. If you have location services enabled on your mobile device, the location of your mobile device may be collected and shared by the Wallet provider in accordance with their respective data and privacy policies, including with us. If you request to add your Card to a Wallet, you authorize us to collect, transmit, store, use and share information about you, your mobile device, and your use of the Card in accordance with our privacy policy, as amended from time to time, available at https://www.mybrb.com/privacy-policy.html .

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF A WALLET, YOUR USE OF THE CARD OR VIRTUAL CARD IN CONNECTION WITH A WALLET, OR A MOBILE DEVICE.

If the Authorized User uses a Wallet, they should protect your Wallet and your mobile device as you would your Card. If your Wallet or mobile device is compromised, lost or stolen, you should also consider your Card lost or stolen and notify us immediately. Please see Section 7 for instructions for reporting a lost or stolen Card.

If you have any questions, disputes, or complaints about a Wallet, contact the Wallet provider using the information given to you by the provider.

Foreign Transactions

Charges from foreign merchants and financial institutions may be made in a foreign currency. We will bill you in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the day we settle the transaction, plus any special currency exchanges charges that may be imposed by us, the Visa network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction.

The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and the date it is posted to your Account.

Regardless of whether the transaction is made in foreign currency or in US dollars, additional fees may apply to all international transactions using the Card. Please refer to our current fee schedule for more information about our fees.

  1. Card Authorization Holds

When the Authorized User uses your Card to purchase goods or services or to obtain cash from a merchant, the merchant may request preauthorization (“Card Authorization”) for the transaction. If the merchant makes such a request and there are sufficient available funds in your Account, we will approve the transaction and place a temporary hold on the funds in your Account. This hold will reduce the Available Balance in your Account. The amount of this temporary hold will usually be the amount of the Card Authorization. 

If the Authorized User uses your card at a restaurant, your Available Balance may be reduced by the amount of the card authorization plus up to an additional twenty percent (20%) of that amount, to account for potential tipping.

The card authorization will remain on your Account until the merchant sends us the final amount of the transaction and requests payment (“settlement”). In most cases, if the merchant does not request settlement, or the merchant is delayed in requesting settlement, the card authorization will automatically be removed after three (3) days. However, for certain merchants such as hotels and rental car companies, it may take up to thirty (30) days for the card authorization to be removed. 

It is important to understand that the merchant controls the timing of card authorizations or settlement. A merchant may request settlement after the card authorization has been removed from your Account. This means that if you use the funds in your Account after the card authorization has been removed and the merchant later requests settlement, your Account may become overdrawn. A merchant may also request settlement for an amount that is different than the card authorization. Therefore, it is important that you keep track of your transactions and your balance. Once we have approved a card authorization, we cannot stop the transaction and you will be responsible for repaying any negative balance that may occur.

Card Limitations 

There may be limits on the amount and frequency of withdrawals and deposits you can make using your Card.  Please refer to the Account Agreement for any limits that may apply to your Account. 

Returns and Refunds 

Please be aware of the merchant’s return policies before using your Card to make a purchase. Neither the Bank nor the Program Partner is responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of the goods or services you purchase using your Card. If you have a problem with a purchase that you made with your Card or if you have a dispute with the merchant, you must handle it directly with the merchant. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained using your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card for the refund and agree to the refund policy of the merchant. The amounts credited to your Card for refunds may not be available for up to five (5) days from the date the refund transaction occurs.

Additional Benefits from Visa and Fraud Alerts Program

Additional Benefits from Visa

Your Card may also be eligible for certain benefits provided by Visa. Please see the Visa Debit Card Benefits Guide (https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/debit-cards.html) for a full description of all additional benefits to which you may be eligible, specifically Visa Zero Liability Benefits (https://usa.visa.com/pay-with-visa/visa-chip-technology-consumers/zero-liability-policy.html). You are also eligible for Visa’s Fraud Alerts Program.  

Fraud Alerts Program Overview

The Visa Fraud Alerts Program provides you with alerts via email, phone call, and/or text messages when Visa’s fraud monitoring system detects suspicious activity involving your Card.  

Messaging frequency depends on account activity.  For more information, text HELP to 23618 or call 1-833-333-0417.  To cancel fraud text messaging services at any time reply STOP to any alert from your mobile device.

For Fraud alerts support, call 1-833-333-0417. By giving us your mobile number, you agree that Fraud Alerts text messaging is authorized to notify you of suspected incidents of financial or identity fraud.  HELP instructions: Text HELP to 23618 for help. Standard text messaging rates will apply.  

Stop Instructions

Text STOP to 23618 to cancel.

Release of Liability

Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered to you if your phone is not in the range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time.  Even within coverage, factors beyond the control of wireless carriers may interfere with messages delivery for which the carrier is not responsible.  Carriers do not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.

Fees

There may be fees associated with your use of the Card.  Please refer to the Account Agreement for any fees that may apply to your use of the Card.

In case of errors or questions about your Card transactions telephone us at 1-833-333-0417 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 sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and why you believe it is an error or you need more information.

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

  4. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

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 forty-five (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.

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

We will provide you the results within three (3) 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.

Reporting Lost or Stolen Cards or Replacing Your Card

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen or if you believe that a transaction has been made without your permission. Reporting the unauthorized use is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card or PIN without permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

If you need to report your Card as lost or stolen, report an unauthorized transaction, or replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at 1-833-333-0417 seven days a week, 24 hours a day. You will be required to provide personal information so that we may verify your identity before we will issue you a replacement Card.

Electronic Fund Transfers

Your Card allows you to withdraw funds from your Account up to the Available Balance through Electronic Fund Transfers (“EFTs”). EFTs are transactions that are processed by electronic means and include, among others, ATM withdrawals and point-of-sale purchases at merchants. This Section provides you with information and important disclosures and terms about the EFTs that are permitted using your Card. You may also receive additional EFT services related to your Account that are not described in this Agreement. Please refer to your Account Agreement for more information.

Your Card allows the following types of EFTs:

  1. Transfers to or from your Account to a merchant or other third party by providing the third party with your Card or Card information

  2. ATM deposits and withdrawals using your Card

Limitations on EFTs

There are limitations on the frequency and amount of transactions you can make to or from your Account using your Card. These limits are different for each type of transaction. For limits that apply to Card transactions, please refer to Section 3 of this Agreement.  For other limitations that may apply to your Account, please refer to your Account Agreement. Your Card may also be subject to security-related limits.  These limits may change from time to time.

Your Liability for Unauthorized EFTs

You could lose all the money in your Account if you take no action to notify us of the unauthorized EFT or the loss or theft of your Card or PIN.

Recurring Card Payments (Preauthorized Transfers)

Notice of Varying Amounts

If you have authorized a merchant to originate regular pre-authorized debits to your Account using your Card and if these payments vary in amount, the merchant you are going to pay is required to notify you, ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may be given the option to choose 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.

To stop payment on a pre-authorized transaction, email us at support@mos.com.

We must receive your stop-payment request at least three (3) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made.

If we require written confirmation and do not receive it, we may remove the stop-payment order after fourteen (14) days.

Make sure to provide us with (1) your name, (2) your Account number, (3) the company or person taking the payments, and (4) the date and amount of the scheduled payment you wish to stop. If you want all future payments from that company or person stopped, be sure to tell us that as well.

You may be charged a fee for each stop payment you request under your Account Agreement.  Please refer to your Account Agreement for fees applicable to your Account. 

Our Liability if We Fail To Stop a Preauthorized Transfer

If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled and provide us with all information requested, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by the failure.
