Virus Protection

Bank of the West is not responsible for any electronic virus or viruses that you may encounter. We encourage our customers to routinely scan their PC and diskettes using a reliable virus product to detect and remove any viruses. Undetected or unrepaired viruses may corrupt and destroy your programs, files and even your hardware. Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit the virus to other computers.

Log-On and Security

In order to ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for five (5) minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended while you are logged on. When you return to your computer, simply re-enter your passcode and your session will continue where you left off.

Because your passcode is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a passcode that is hard to guess. (We suggest that you stay away from names, dates, and information that may easily be guessed.) Keep your passcode safe. Memorize your passcode and never tell it to anyone. Change your passcode frequently. This can be done at the beginning of each Internet session. Three (3) invalid passcode attempts will lock your online banking account and you will need to contact Bank of the West to have this reset.

Cancellation of Internet Banking

Your Internet Banking may be canceled at any time without prior notice due to insufficient funds in one of your accounts. After cancellation, service may be reinstated once sufficient funds are available in your accounts to cover any fees and other pending transfers or debits. In order to reinstate services, you must call Bank of the West Internet Banking Coordinator at (817) 310-1999.

Balance Inquiries and Transfers

You may use Internet Banking to check the balance of your accounts and to transfer funds among your accounts. According to Federal regulations, you may not make more than six (6) pre-authorized or automatic transfers from your Money Market Deposit Account during a given monthly statement period. There are no limits to the number of transfers from your Checking Accounts.

Shown balances of accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. If you have further questions contact your Internet Banking Coordinator.

Bill Payer

It is easy to pay bills online. Contact the Online Banking Department to sign up. We are unable to process any payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies.

Bill Payment Service: No Charge

If for any reason a scheduled payment processed through Bill Payer is declined, the Bank may charge a NSF Fee. The payment will continue to be attempted until there are sufficient funds or it is canceled.

Although payments may be scheduled at any time, they will only be initiated (sent out) the following day if they are scheduled by your financial institution's cut off time, usually around 2:00 p.m. CST on any business day. Anything scheduled on a non-business day, or after the cut-off time, will not be sent out until the following business day. Sufficient time for payments is necessary. We define sufficient time as seven (7) business days prior to the Due Date.

Our Liability for Incomplete Transactions

It is our responsibility to process all transfers and bill payments properly initiated through Internet Banking in accordance with this Agreement. We will be liable for damages caused by delay in process or error in process. We will not be liable if any of the following occurs:

  1. Funds are not available in your account or attached credit line.
  2. Funds are subject to legal process.
  3. You had knowledge of or questions about the possible malfunction of equipment when you initiated the transaction.
  4. Any information provided by you about the Payee is incorrect.
  5. There are any delays in the handling of the payment by the Payees.
  6. Natural disasters (fire, flood, tornado, etc.) or other uncontrollable circumstances (mail delays, power failures, etc.) prevent proper completion and delivery of transactions.
  7. Other applicable laws and/or regulations exempt us from liability.

Notice of Your Rights and Liabilities

Notify us immediately if your passcode has been lost or stolen. Failure to notify us immediately could result in the loss of all money accessible by the passcode.

If we are notified within two (2) business days after you discover that your passcode has been lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used it without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days, and we can prove we could have prevented someone from using the Passcode without your permission, you could lose as much as $500.

If your statement shows unauthorized transfers, notify us within 60 days after the statement is mailed to you or viewed on your computer. After 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if we had been told, lost funds might not be recovered.
