In order to use the Internet Home Branch PCU or Online E-Statements, you need a computer (in this Agreement, your computer and the related equipment are referred to together as your "Computer") with a web browser ( Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher with 128 bit encryption), a member number, and Internet Home Branch PCU login ID. The password is confidential information you use to access your account(s) through Internet Banking.
You are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and operation of your Computer, browser and the software. SWOFCU is not responsible for any errors or failures from any malfunction of your Computer, the browser or the software.

The Service
To use Home Branch PCU, you must have at least one SWOFCU share draft account and a Home Branch PCU Login ID. Through Home Branch PCU, you will have access to any of your SWOFCU share accounts or loan accounts.

Description of Home Branch PCU
The Service allows you to perform some or all of the following functions from your Computer:
Online Account Access Functions and Limitations of Transfers
You may use Home Branch PCU to (a) transfer funds between your accounts; (b) obtain account balances; (c) obtain history and transaction information on your accounts; and (d) obtain loan account balance information. These features are limited to the extent, and subject to the terms, noted below.
i. Your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited by federal law and the Deposit Agreement. You should refer to the Deposit Agreement for legal restrictions and service charges applicable for excessive withdrawals or transfers. Transfers made using the Home Branch PCU Service are counted against the permissible number of transfers described in the Deposit Agreement.
ii. There may be at least a one-business-day delay in transferring funds between your accounts. Except as provided in this Agreement, all Home Branch PCU transaction instructions received by 5:00 p.m. CST will be completed that business day. Any instruction received after 5:00 p.m. CST will be completed the next business day.
iii. Transactional information for your accounts will be available from Home Branch PCU for a maximum of 30 days from the date of inquiry. In some cases the information will be available for a longer duration.
Password and Security
Your Home Branch PCU or Online E-Statements password is required to access Southwest Oklahoma Federal Credit Union's E-Services functions. You agree not to give or make available your password to any unauthorized individual. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen, or someone has attempted to use the E-Services without your consent, your deposit account(s) or loan account(s) have been accessed, or someone has transferred money without your permission, you must notify SWOFCU immediately (see Contact Information below). SWOFCU does not maintain a record of your password. If you lose or forget your password, contact SWOFCU immediately so that you may select a new confidential password.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfer
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your account information and/or password have been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your accounts (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit and open-end credit). If you believe your account information and/or password has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your account information and/or password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your account information and/or password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your account/and or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
Errors and Questions
Telephone us 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. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. Your inquiry must include:
1. Your name and account number,
2. A description of the error or the transfer you are unsure about and an explanation of why you believe it is an error or why you need more information,
3. The dollar amount of the suspected error, and
4. The date of occurrence.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will generally tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days of the receipt of your complaint or question (20 business days if the transaction involved an account opened within the past 30 days). If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days. If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

When you access Home Branch PCU to conduct transactions, the information you enter may be recorded. By using Home Branch PCU, you consent to such recording.
No Signature Required
When using Home Branch PCU to conduct transactions, you agree that the Credit Union may debit your account to complete the transactions, or honor debits you have not signed.
Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or transfers you made:
1. When it is necessary to complete the transfers;
2. In order to verify the existence and conditions of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;

Neither termination nor discontinuation shall affect your liability or obligation under this Agreement.
Payee Limitation
SWOFCU reserves the right to impose a frequency or dollar limit on or refuse to make any payment you have directed.

SWOFCU may also assign or delegate certain of its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent contractors or other third parties.
No Waiver
SWOFCU shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by SWOFCU. No delay or omission on the part of SWOFCU in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other rights or remedies.
