Online Banking is a free service, however, the fees and service charges provided in our Understanding Your Deposit Account, line of credit, loan documentation, safe deposit box, and other disclosures or agreements with us, as described in our current schedule of fees and charges, may apply to services authorized through Online Banking.

You will be directed to complete the online enrollment questionnaire. After clicking “Submit,” you will be prompted to choose an access ID and new password which must be between eight (8) and seventeen (17) characters in length; for enhanced security we recommend that you use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. After clicking “Submit,” you will be prompted to confirm your email address, enter a Passphrase, set up your Security Data, and register your personal computer; if you are using a public computer, you should not register it. After clicking “Submit,” you will have immediate inquiry/internal transaction access into accounts on which you are an owner or signer.
Changes to Password, Security Data questions/answers, and Email Address
Passwords must be between eight (8) and seventeen (17) characters in length; for enhanced security, we recommend that you use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters for your password and choose Security questions which only you know the answers. So that we may contact you by email, it is your responsibility to keep your email address up-to-date. To change your Password, Security Data questions and answers, or email address, click “Profile” in the upper right-hand corner of any online banking screen and select “Edit” in the section you wish to change.
Funds Availability
On the date you schedule internal transactions, sufficient funds must be available in the account from which you wish to debit. If your account does not have available funds to complete an internal transaction, we may or may not complete the internal transaction.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Internal Transactions
If we do not complete an internal transaction to or from your account on time, or in the correct amount according to your instructions, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance, if:
- Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the internal transaction.
- The internal transaction would exceed the credit limit on your overdraft line.
- Your computer, the software, phone lines, or the bank’s computer systems were not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevented the internal transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- We have placed a “hold” on funds in your account or remitted funds to another party with your knowledge, pursuant to reasonable business procedures, or in compliance with legal process such as a garnishment, tax levy, court order, etc.
- We have received incomplete or inaccurate information from you or a third party involving the internal transaction.
- We have a reasonable basis to believe that unauthorized use of your Access ID, Password, or Account has occurred or may be occurring.
- You or we have terminated your Online Banking Agreement and/or closed the account.
- We (without prior notice and when permitted by law) set off the funds in this account against any due and payable debt you owe us now or in the future, by any of you having
the right of withdrawal, to the extent of such persons’ or legal entity’s right to withdrawal.
Authorization to Charge Accounts
You are responsible for all internal transactions you or your authorized representative make using Online Banking. You authorize us to debit your designated account(s) for any internal transactions completed with Online Banking. You agree that we may comply with internal transaction instructions entered by any one person using an authorized access ID and password, regardless of the restrictions placed at the account level (i.e., two signatures required). Internal transfers between personal and business account should be avoided unless you are a sole proprietor. The bank suggests the use of mobile deposit to provide a paper trail for such internal transfers.
If you permit another person to access Online Banking by giving them your access ID and password, you are responsible for internal transactions that person makes to and from the deposit and loan accounts linked to your online application even if that person exceeds your authorization unless you have notified us that usage by the other person is no longer authorized. To report unauthorized usage of your Online Banking access, refer to the “Error Resolution” section of this Agreement.
Restrictions on Transfers from Savings and Money Market Accounts
Under Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, you may make an unlimited number of deposits or transfers into a savings or money market account; however, you may make no more than six transfers or withdrawals out of such an account per calendar month (not counting transactions made at ATMs or in-person transactions). Transfers made by telephone, personal computer or funds automatically transferred from a savings or money market account to another deposit account for overdraft protection are counted toward the six total permitted monthly transfers or withdrawals. If you exceed the restrictions more than three times during a 12-month period, we may close the savings or money market account and transfer the funds to a checking account.
Business Day Cutoff
The cutoff time for internal transactions is 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. Except for “Express Transfers,” internal transactions can be added, changed, or deleted up until this cutoff time and the action will take effect on the current business day. All internal transactions submitted after 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday or on Federal holidays, will take effect on the next business day.
Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality
We are committed to protecting your security and confidentiality. We maintain standards and procedures designed to prevent misuse of your personal information. To ensure the privacy of your account information while you are online, you are only able to access your account with high security browsers. You must also provide both your Access ID and your password. If no action is taken within any 15 minute period, you will be automatically logged off Online Banking.
You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account including your account number and your
online banking access ID and password.
We may share limited information to parties outside our bank:
- When it is necessary to complete a transfer as requested by you;
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant when you have authorized the disbursement of such information;
- In order to comply with laws, government agency rules or orders, court orders, subpoena or other legal processes;
- In order to give information to any government agency or official having legal authority to request such information;

If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, contact us as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared, and you must:
- Tell us your name and account number.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of your money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.

If you are a new customer, for electronic funds transfers occurring during the first 30 days after the first deposit is made to your account, the applicable time periods for action by us are up to 20 business days (instead of 10) and 90 calendar days (instead of 45).
We will tell 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.
If you believe your Access ID and/or Password have become known by an unauthorized person, or that someone has transferred money without your permission, contact your local TBK Bank branch immediately during regular business hours Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays, or email us by visiting our website at and clicking on the “Contact Us” link, or write to:

Mobile Devices
The same terms and conditions of this Agreement apply to mobile devices, when and where applicable, used to access Online Banking. Although TBK Bank, SSB does not charge you to access Online Banking or for any message sent to your mobile device, you may incur fees from your mobile provider.
Liability (this section applies only to accounts used for personal, family, and household purposes) Tell us at once if you believe your Access ID or Password has become known to an unauthorized person or if an unauthorized transaction has occurred involving your account. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit).
If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn that your Access ID and Password have become known by an unauthorized person, you can lose no more than $50.00 if an unauthorized person used your personal codes without your permission to process a transaction. Also, if you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn that your Access ID and Password have become known by an unauthorized person, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Access ID or Password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your statement shows internal transactions that you did not make or authorize, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we may extend the time period.
TBK Bank, SSB Alerts Terms and Conditions
The following Alerts terms and conditions (“Alerts Terms of Use”) only apply to the Alerts feature (as defined below). If Alerts are not available to you, then this Alerts Terms of Use does not apply.

- Mandatory Alerts provide you with important account notifications, such as information about changes to your Online Banking password, PIN, or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.
- Account Alerts provide you with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to your Service accounts. These Alerts are automatically activated for you. Although you may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that you do not do so because they provide important information related to your Service accounts.
