The rights described in this section are in addition to and apart from any other rights.

    Arbitration:

    (1) This section of this Agreement does not apply to any dispute in which the amount in controversy is within the jurisdictional limits of, and is filed in, a small claims court. We and you agree to arbitrate all other disputes and claims between you and us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

    (2) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to us should be addressed to: Legal, BM Technologies, Inc., PO Box 278 Maple Shade, NJ 08052 (the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the "Demand"). If we do not reach an agreement with you to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, we or you may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by us or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled.

    You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from here: Arbitration Forms

    (3) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules and the fee schedule therein set forth your limited obligation to pay filing fees. However, should you be unable to afford the filing fee as determined by the AAA Rules, we will consider in good faith any bona fide request to pay or reimburse such fees. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless we and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district in which you reside. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

    (4) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

    (5) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and us in accordance with this provision.

    These arbitration provisions shall survive closure of your Account or termination of all business with us.

    Effects of Arbitration: If either of you or us chooses arbitration, neither you or we will have the right to litigate the dispute in court or have a jury trial. In addition, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any question as to the validity and effect of this class action waiver shall be decided solely by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.

    Choice of Law:

    This Agreement is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.

Assignment:

You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations you may have under this Agreement, or with respect to the Account, without our prior written consent.

Deposits:

Any items accepted for deposit (including items drawn "on us") will be given credit in accordance with our Funds Availability Disclosure Policy. We are not responsible for transactions initiated through mail or outside depository until we actually receive and record them. All transactions received after our "daily cut-off time" on a business day we are open, or received on a day in which we are not open for business will be treated and recorded as if initiated on the next following business day that we are open. Any funds sent to you by another User before you open your Account, may be held for your benefit in escrow and then released upon Account opening, and will be subject to the same availability rules, as if your account had been open at the time the funds were sent. We may refuse a deposit, limit the amount of a deposit, or return all or a portion of a deposit. Deposits are subject to verification by us.

Cash Deposits:

We do not accept cash deposits through the mail. In the event that cash deposits are received, the cash will be returned to you at your primary address on file. We are not liable for any deposits, including cash, lost in the mail, lost in transit or not received by us.

Early Payroll Direct Deposits:

Funds from payroll-related direct deposits may be made available up to two days early. Early access to payroll deposits applies to the direct deposit of funds from your employer. Employer direct deposits vary and, as a result, it is not possible to guarantee early access to your pay. Factors that will affect this include the sender's deposit description used and the timing of their submission of deposit. In order to provide this service, we generally post such deposits on the business day we receive notice that the deposit is scheduled, which may be up to two (2) business days earlier than the payer's scheduled payment date. In general, benefit checks (direct deposit or otherwise) from the federal or state government will not be eligible for early access based on the parameters we use. As an example, benefits that generally would not receive early access include but are not limited to unemployment, retirement, pension, civil service, railroad retirement and veteran's payments.

Third Party Checks:

We will not accept third party checks for deposit. In the event that we receive a third party check, we will not deposit the check into the Account. Third-party checks will be returned to the sender via U.S. mail and we will not be liable for any checks that may become lost in the mail.

Endorsements:

Mailed deposits- Any check or other item submitted for deposit must be endorsed exactly as it was made payable. You warrant that all endorsements on items deposited to your Account are genuine. Any endorsement must be placed in the 1.5-inch endorsement area on the backside of the item. The endorsement area is at the trailing edge of the item directly behind where, "Pay to the Order of" is printed. The remaining area on the back of the item may not contain any preprinted, stamped or handwritten information. If you fail to do this, and we accept the check, you may be required to reimburse us for losses incurred. In the absence of endorsement, you authorize us to supply any missing endorsements if items are made payable to you or your order and you have not endorsed them.

Mobile check deposit Any check or other item submitted for deposit must be endorsed exactly as it was made payable. You warrant that all endorsements on items deposited to your Account are genuine. Any endorsement must be placed in the 1.5-inch endorsement area on the back side of the item. The endorsement area is at the trailing edge of the check directly behind where, "Pay to the Order of" is printed. The remaining area on the back of the item may not contain any preprinted, stamped or handwritten information and must state "For Remote Deposit Only" or "For Mobile Deposit Only" for mobile checks deposited. We may reject any mobile check you deposit that does not have this restrictive endorsement. If you fail to do this, and we accept the check, you may be required to reimburse us for losses incurred. In the absence of endorsement, you authorize us to supply any missing endorsements if items are made payable to you or your order and you have not endorsed them.

Deposited Items Returned:

If final payment is not received on any item you deposited to your Account, or if any direct deposit, automated clearinghouse deposit or electronic fund transfer to your Account is returned to us for any reason, you agree to pay us the amount of the return. We may charge any Account of which you are an owner, or re-present any item you deposit with us that is returned to us unpaid without prior notice to you. Please be advised that if your third party bank returns an Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transaction to BM Technologies, Inc., as agent due to insufficient or unavailable funds, we will automatically re-attempt to successfully complete the transaction with your bank up to 2 additional times, as permitted by law.

You authorize us to attempt collection of previously returned items which you deposited. In our attempts to collect these items, you agree that we may allow the payor bank (the bank on which the item is drawn) to hold the item beyond its midnight deadline. If an item you deposit is returned unpaid, you waive the requirement for notice of this return.

If a claim is made on any item, subsequent to final payment, on the grounds that the item was altered, bears a forged or unauthorized endorsement, or was not otherwise properly payable, we may withhold credit for the item from your account until final determination of the claim. In addition, we will not be liable for a check or draft or other item that you deposit that has been forged or altered in such a way that a reasonable person could not discover the forgery or alteration.

Direct Deposits:

If, in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in this Account which is claimed by the federal government or any state government for any reason, you authorize us to deduct the amount of liability from this Account or from any other Account you have with us, without prior notice and at any time, except as prohibited by law. We may also use any other legal remedy to recover the amount of liability.

Withdrawals:

You may withdraw or transfer all or any part of the Account balance at any time on forms approved by us. We may charge your Account for a check, even though payment was made before the date of the check. The fact that we may honor withdrawal requests which overdraw the finally collected Account balance does not obligate us to do so unless required by law. Withdrawals will first be made from collected funds and we may, unless prohibited by law or our written policy, refuse any withdrawal request against unavailable funds, even if our general practice is to the contrary. We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal or transfer request which is attempted by any method not specifically permitted which is for an amount less than any minimum withdrawal requirement or which exceeds any frequency limitation. Even if we honor a nonconforming request, repeated abuse of the stated limitations (if any) may eventually force us to close this Account. Check writing is prohibited on the savings account. Any checks presented on the savings account will not be honored.

You agree to maintain sufficient available funds on deposit to cover all items presented for payment against your Account. If you do not, payment may be refused. We reserve the right, without prior notice to you, to either pay or return any item presented for payment against insufficient or unavailable funds. We are under no obligation to honor post-dated checks, with or without notice by you. Post-dated checks may be paid upon receipt from your account as any other check which is properly dated.

You agree immediately upon notice from us to deposit funds sufficient to cover the overdraft. If we choose to honor any debit item that overdraws the Account we do so at our discretion and will not be obligated to do so thereafter. If you fail to pay an overdraft that has occurred on your Account, we may report this information to ChexSystems.

We will pay checks presented for payment against your Account in the posting order, as sorted by serial number.

Typically, we will post credits first and will pay all other items by type in the date and time order of the transaction received unless a) it is a check or a converted check that contains a serial number or b) a date and time stamp is not present. Items with serial numbers will be paid in serial number order and items without date and time stamps will be paid in the order they are received. We reserve the right to change the posting order presented to your Account, for payment, at anytime without notice to you.

We reserve the right at any time to require that you give us at least seven (7) calendar days' notice before you withdraw funds from a savings account. Although we usually pay withdrawals without notice on these accounts, doing so does not mean that we give up that right

ACH and Wire Transfers:

This Agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code in the state in which you have your Account with us. If you originate a funds transfer and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary financial institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named. You agree to be bound by automated clearinghouse association rules. These rules provide, among other things that payments made to you, or originated by you, are provisional, until final settlement is made through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code. If we do not receive such payment, we are entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your Account and the party originating such payment will not be considered to have paid the amount so credited. If we receive a credit to an Account you have with us by wire or ACH, we are not required to give you any notice of the payment order or credit. Wire transfer services and ACH processing shall be provided by third party financial institutions. Wire transfer services are not available for all account products. See your applicable fee schedule for further details.

See your applicable fee schedule for further details.

Limitation on Preauthorized Transfers

For your savings accounts, you may make no more than six "Convenient" transfers or withdrawals in one monthly statement cycle. "Convenient" transfers and withdrawals, for purposes of this limit, include preauthorized, automatic transfers (including but not limited to transfers from the savings deposit for direct bill payments) and transfers and withdrawals initiated by telephone, facsimile, or computer, and transfers made by debit card, or other similar order made by the depositor and payable to third parties.

Other, less-convenient types of transfers, such as withdrawals or transfers made by mail, or by using an ATM, do not count toward the six-per-statement cycle limit.

If you exceed six "Convenient" transfers and withdrawals from your savings account in each of three monthly statement cycles during a twelve-month period, your savings account will be closed immediately, and any positive balance will be transferred to your checking account.

Cash Deposit via Reload @ the Register™ or Rapid Reload™

You may use these services to add funds to your checking account by asking the cashier to add cash directly to your BM Technologies, Inc. Debit Mastercard card. A retail service fee of $4.95 or less is charged per deposit by the corresponding retailer as set forth in the fee schedule.

Ownership of Account:

You are opening a single party Account and it will be owned by you individually.

Stop-Payment Orders:

We may accept a written or oral stop payment order from you. We may require you to complete a form confirming the order within 14 days of an oral notification. You must give us sufficient notice so that we have a reasonable opportunity both to verify that the item is unpaid and to act on your request. You should not expect the stop payment order to be effective until you have received confirmation of such.

You agree to hold us harmless for said amount, and for all damages, expenses and costs incurred on Account of refusing payment of said check, ACH transaction, or recurring debit card transaction and you further agree not to hold us liable on Account of payment contrary to a stop payment order if you benefitted from such even though it may have occurred through inadvertence, oversight or accident, or if the check, ACH transaction, or recurring debit card transaction is not described with absolute accuracy and certainty as to all details, especially the amount of said check, ACH transaction, or recurring debit card transaction.

Checks:

To place a stop payment order on a single check or a range of checks, we require the Account number and Check number(s). We may also require the reason for the stop payment order or other information.

A stop payment order on a check generally expires after 180 days. However, we may in our sole discretion, elect to honor a stop payment order for a longer period of time without notice to you. If you want the order to continue after 180 days, you must ask us to renew the order. Each renewal is treated as a new order. If you want the order to expire in less than 180 days a request to cancel the order must be submitted in writing. Your request to cancel the order is not effective until we have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. You should not expect the order to be canceled until you have received confirmation of such. We cancel the order automatically when the Account on which the check is drawn is closed.

If the check is presented to us for payment after the order expires or is canceled in writing, we may pay the check.

ACH Transactions:

To place a stop payment on a single or recurring ACH transaction, we require the merchant name, ACH amount and reason. If you give us the wrong ACH transaction amount (even one penny off) or the wrong merchant name, we may pay the ACH transaction. We may use only a portion of the required information to identify the ACH transaction to perform the stop payment. In order to stop a preauthorized electronic fund transfer, you must notify us at least three business days before the scheduled date of the transfer.

An ACH stop payment order does not expire. If the stop payment order is for a single ACH transaction, the stop payment order will be removed once the first instance of the transaction is stopped. If you would like to cancel the order a request to cancel the order must be submitted in writing. Your request to cancel the order is not effective until we have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. You should not expect the stop payment to be canceled until you have received confirmation of such. We cancel the order automatically when the Account on which the ACH transaction is drawn is closed.

If an ACH transaction is presented to us after the order is canceled in writing, we may pay the ACH transaction.

Recurring Debit Card Transactions:

To place a stop payment on a recurring debit card transaction, we require the merchant name, transaction amount, and reason. A recurring debit card transaction can only be stopped if at least 1 transaction from this merchant has posted to your Account. If you give us the wrong transaction amount (even one penny off) or the wrong merchant name, we may pay the recurring debit card transaction. We may use only a portion of the required information to identify the recurring debit card transaction to perform the stop payment. In order to stop a preauthorized electronic fund transfer, you must notify us at least three business days before the scheduled date of the transfer.

A recurring debit card transaction stop payment order will expire after 3 years from the date the stop is placed. If you would like to cancel the order, a request to cancel a stop payment must be submitted in writing. Your request to cancel the order is not effective until we have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. You should not expect the stop payment to be canceled until you have received confirmation of such. We cancel the order automatically when the Account on which the debit card is drawn is closed.

If a recurring debit card transaction is presented to us after the order is canceled in writing, we may pay the recurring debit card transaction.

Transfer of Account Balance to BM Technologies, Inc.; Other Transfer:

You hereby appoint BM Technologies, Inc. as your agent for purposes of any deposit Account you may open. You specifically authorize The Bank, at the direction of BM Technologies, Inc., to transfer the full balance of the Account to BM Technologies, Inc., as your agent, so as to permit BM Technologies, Inc. to place such balance with another Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-insured depository institution. You also authorize The Bank to transfer any Account balance directly to a successor FDIC-insured depository institution as designated by BM Technologies, Inc. without any further consent on your part. Upon any such transfer, The Bank's obligations and responsibilities with regard to you and your Account shall cease, and this Agreement shall terminate.

Statements:

You agree to examine and reconcile your statement of Account within 30 days of its posting on the BM Technologies, Inc. website or mobile application through which you access this Account. If you discover (or reasonably should have discovered) any unauthorized payments or alterations, you must promptly notify us of the relevant facts.

You are responsible for keeping track of your Account available balance. Merchants generally will not be able to determine your available balance. It's important to know your available balance before making any transaction. You may access your available balance by accessing your Account online or by calling 1-877-327-9515. Statements in electronic format will be made available at the BM Technologies, Inc. website and mobile application during each month in which a transaction occurs.

If you fail to do either of these duties you will have to either share the loss with us, or bear the loss entirely yourself (depending on whether we used ordinary care and, if not, whether we contributed to the loss). The loss could be not only with respect to items on the statement, but other items forged or altered by the same wrongdoer.

You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance exceed a total of 60 days from when the statement is first made available to you.

You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries or any other errors in your Account within 60 days of when we make the statement available, you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and the loss will be entirely yours. This 60-day limitation is without regard to whether we exercised ordinary care. The limitation in this paragraph is in addition to that contained in the first paragraph of this section.

BankMobile Savings Account:

In order to qualify for a BankMobile Savings Account, you must have a BankMobile Checking Account.

An interest rate of 0.50% will be paid for average daily balances up to $15,000 with an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 0.50%; average daily balances greater than $15,000 will earn a 0.01% interest rate only for that portion of the average daily balance that is greater than $15,000. The annual percentage yield for this tier will range from 0.50% to 0.38% depending on the balance in the account (calculation based on a $20,000.00 average daily balance).

Interest rates and APY are variable and may change at any time at our discretion without notice. Fees may reduce earnings. A withdrawal from your account will reduce earnings. We use the average daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of noncash items (for example, checks). Interest on your account will be compounded and credited on a monthly basis at the end of your monthly statement cycle. If your account is closed before interest is credited, any accrued interest will not be paid. Mobile deposits are subject to verification and not available for immediate withdrawal.

If your account is closed before interest is credited, any accrued interest will not be paid. Mobile deposits are subject to verification and not available for immediate withdrawal.

BM Technologies, Inc. partners with schools to distribute financial aid refunds. Through these partnerships, schools provide BM Technologies, Inc. with your student enrollment status monthly, which is used to determine your eligibility for interest rates and other products. If your school indicates to us that you are currently enrolled with them, you will be considered to be an "Enrolled Student" for the purposes of any account you have with us that is also associated with the reporting school. If a school does not report you as being currently enrolled with them, you will be considered to be an "Unenrolled Student" for the purposes of any account you have with us that is also associated with the reporting school. If you have a BankMobile Vibe Checking Account and you become an "Unenrolled Student", you will be moved to the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account. Similarly, if your school no longer delivers refunds with BankMobile Disbursements or if you enroll with another school which does not deliver refunds with BankMobile Disbursements, your enrollment status will become "Unenrolled Student" and you will be moved to the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account. When you become an "Unenrolled Student" for the first time, you will be moved to this account and, if you have Qualifying Deposits totaling $300.00 or more per statement cycle, you will earn interest. If you do not have Qualifying Deposits totaling $300.00 or more per statement cycle, you will not earn interest. Should your student enrollment status change at any time from an "Unenrolled Student" back to an "Enrolled Student", you will continue to remain in the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account subject to its terms and conditions.

To check your rates, you can always refer to the interest information on your Fee Schedule or login to your account and refer to your account summary page. BM Technologies, Inc. will notify you by email if your BankMobile Vibe Checking Account is moved to the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account as a result of an enrollment status change.

Interest rates and APY are variable and may change at our discretion at any time without notice. Fees may reduce earnings. A withdrawal from your account will reduce earnings. We use the average daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of noncash items (for example, checks). Interest on your account will be compounded and credited on a monthly basis. At the end of your statement cycle date, we will determine the qualifying posted transactions and we will use the average ledger balance for the statement cycle to calculate the interest on your account. If your account is closed before interest is credited, any accrued interest will not be paid. Mobile deposits are subject to verification and not available for immediate withdrawal.

Tax Withholding:

At the time you open your account, you will provide us with a tax identification number (TIN), which you certify as correct under penalty of perjury. In accordance with prevailing law, we will use that number to report any interest earned on your account to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If you fail to provide us with a TIN, you do not provide the correct TIN, or you fail to certify the TIN, you may be subject to back-up withholding if the IRS notifies us that the furnished TIN is incorrect, you are notified by the IRS that you are subject to back-up withholding for failing to report all interest and dividend payments on your tax return, or you failed to certify with us that you are not subject to back-up withholding, we are required to withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of any payment of interest on your account. If we do back-up withhold and later you are no longer subject to back-up withholding, you may have to contact the IRS to obtain a refund of the money withheld.

Right of Setoff:

We may (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.

We will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because we set off a debt against this Account. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right of setoff.

Dormant Accounts:

We will consider your Account to be dormant if there has been no customer initiated transactional activity on your Account for a period of 12 months. Transactional activity includes using your debit card to make a purchase or to perform a balance inquiry at an ATM, depositing a check through the app, scheduling an online bill pay or any other actions resulting in money being moved in or out of your Account. Charges we may impose, and debits or credits initiated by BM Technologies, Inc. are not considered a transactional activity.

If your Account becomes dormant, we may do the following, subject to applicable law:

  • Refuse to pay items drawn on or payable out of the Account.
  • Prevent you from using Transfer Money to or from your Account.

Escheatment:

We are required by law to deliver to the applicable state agency any funds in an account if you do not have activity or we cannot locate you for a period of time as defined by applicable state regulation. We will provide applicable notices to you, as required by law. You agree that we are not responsible for any funds delivered to the state in compliance with the laws of the applicable state agency.

Court Attachments; IRS Levies; Adverse Claims:

If your Account becomes subject to legal action, such as a tax levy or third party garnishment, we reserve the right to refuse to pay any money from your Account, including checks or other items presented for payment, until the action is resolved. If we are required to pay an attachment, garnishment or tax levy, we are not liable to you. Payment is made after satisfying any fees, charges or other debts owed to us. You agree that you are responsible for any expenses, including legal expenses and fees we incur due to a garnishment, levy or attachment on your Account. We may charge these expenses to your Account. Until we receive the appropriate court documents, we may continue to process transactions against your Account, even if we have received an unofficial notification of an adverse claim. You will indemnify us for any losses if we do this.

Arbitration:

(1) This section of this Agreement does not apply to any dispute in which the amount in controversy is within the jurisdictional limits of, and is filed in, a small claims court. We and you agree to arbitrate all other disputes and claims between you and us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(2) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to us should be addressed to: Legal, BM Technologies, Inc., PO Box 278 Maple Shade, NJ 08052 (the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the "Demand"). If we do not reach an agreement with you to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, we or you may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by us or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled.

You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from here: Arbitration Forms

(3) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules and the fee schedule therein set forth your limited obligation to pay filing fees. However, should you be unable to afford the filing fee as determined by the AAA Rules, we will consider in good faith any bona fide request to pay or reimburse such fees. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless we and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district in which you reside. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

(4) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

(5) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and us in accordance with this provision.

These arbitration provisions shall survive closure of your Account or termination of all business with us.

Effects of Arbitration: If either of you or us chooses arbitration, neither you or we will have the right to litigate the dispute in court or have a jury trial. In addition, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any question as to the validity and effect of this class action waiver shall be decided solely by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.

Choice of Law:

This Agreement is governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.

Indemnification:

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our affiliates, officers, directors and employees, agents and contractors harmless from any claim, action, demand, loss, or damages (including attorneys' fees) made or incurred by any third party arising out of or relating to your use of the Service.

Limit on Liability

In no event shall we be liable for any act or omission of any third party (such as, for example, any provider of telecommunications services, Internet access or computer equipment or software) or any circumstances beyond our control (such as, for example, a fire, flood or other natural disaster, act of God, war, riot, strike, act of civil or military authority, equipment failure, computer virus, or failure or interruption of electrical, telecommunications or other utility services).

Miscellaneous

We will not be deemed to have waived any of our rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by us. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies will operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

Fees and Charges:

You agree to pay all fees and charges applicable to your Account. Please refer to the Fee Schedule for the charges associated with your Account for certain transactions and/or requests.

The Monthly Service Fee is $2.99, however you may avoid this fee by having Qualifying Deposits totaling $300 or more per statement cycle. Qualifying Deposits include direct deposit, transfers from external bank accounts, check deposits, point-of-sale deposits and cash deposits such as those made via Green Dot® Reload @ the Register™. Financial aid refunds or other refunds issued by your school, interest earned on your account, promotional credits, such as cash back rewards, internal account transfers, fee waivers, fee credits, returned items or dispute credits are not eligible toward the $300 total deposits. The Monthly Service Fee will only reduce your account to a zero balance, which may result in you being charged less than $2.99 per statement cycle. The Monthly Service Fee varies and will not be assessed to accounts affiliated with our partner schools located in the state of Washington or those affiliated with South Carolina Technical College System. Log in to see the fees associated with your account.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE

We only accept items for deposit that are drawn on financial institutions located in the United States.

THE EXPEDITED FUNDS AVAILABILITY ACT AND REGULATION CC OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD REQUIRE ALL BANKS TO NOTIFY DEPOSITORS OF THEIR FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICIES. THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS DELIVERED TO YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATION CC AND PRESENTS OUR FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICIES.

DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF A DEPOSIT

Our policy is to delay the availability of funds that you deposit in your Account. During the delay, you may not withdraw the funds in cash and we will not use the funds to pay checks that you have written.

The length of the delay is counted in business days from the date of your deposit. Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If we receive your deposit prior to the applicable cutoff time on a business day, we will consider that day to be the day of the deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the cutoff time or on a day that is not a business day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. The cutoff time for paper checks is 2 p.m. ET. The cutoff time for Transfer Money and outgoing external transfers is 4 p.m. ET. The cutoff time for incoming wires is 6 p.m. ET. The cutoff time for mobile check deposit and debit card deposit is 7 p.m. ET. The cutoff time for ACH direct deposits, and Green Dot(R) Reload @ the Register™ is 11 p.m. ET.

The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.

Same Business Day Availability

Funds from the following sources are available on the same business day we receive the deposit:

  • Funds from electronic direct deposits, such as Financial Aid Refund or direct deposit payroll.
  • Funds from electronic direct deposits
  • Funds from ACH deposits
  • Green Dot Reload @ the Register
  • Wire transfers

Next Business Day Availability

Mailed funds from the following sources are available the next business day after the banking day on which the mailed deposit is received:

  • U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you.
  • Checks payable through First Carolina Bank
  • State or local government checks that are payable to you.
  • Cashier, certified, and teller's checks that are payable to you.
  • Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks, and U.S. Postal Service money orders if these items are made payable to you

However, we may place longer holds on certain items for other reasons (see Longer Delays May Apply, below).

Other Mailed Check Deposits

Our policy is to make the funds from other checks you mail to us that are ineligible for next business day availability available as follows:

The first $225 of total checks received by mail and deposited for the day will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the second business day after the day of deposit.

Mobile check deposits are subject to the provisions under the Mobile check deposit Terms and Conditions section below.

Money Order Guidelines

All money orders (U.S Postal service and non-postal) must be made payable to you.

  • Mailed deposits of U.S. Postal Service money orders are made available on the next business day after the day we receive the deposit.

Transfer Money

To transfer the money as you request, we send instructions to the third-party bank via the ACH network to charge your other bank account. Because we do not know if you have sufficient funds at the third-party bank, we do not typically provide immediate availability. Unless longer delays apply, the balance will be available by the end of business on the third business day after the day on which the transfer is initiated. After initiating the Transfer Money request, your account statement will show the date funds are available for spending. Limitations on transfers are set for security reasons and are not disclosed for that reason.

LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY

Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day.
  • You have overdrawn your Account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communication equipment.

We will notify you by email if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the 7th business day after the day of your deposit. You may ask us if you need to know when a particular deposit will be available for withdrawal.

Electronic Fund Transfers: Your Rights and Responsibilities

This disclosure states the additional rights and responsibilities that you may have pertaining to Electronic Fund Transfers and applies only to deposit accounts established for personal, household or family use. The term "Electronic Fund Transfer" includes, transfers of funds initiated through an electronic terminal, telephone, magnetic tape, mobile device, or computer for the purpose of ordering, instructing, or authorizing a financial institution to debit or credit a deposit account. This includes, without limitation, ATM and Point of Sale (POS) transfers, direct deposits, pre-authorized withdrawals of funds, computer-initiated transactions, electronic check conversion transactions and mobile banking. Online banking and bill payment are governed by a separate services agreement that is provided to customers enrolling for those services. This disclosure does not change or modify this Agreement and it is not a contract.

Business Days:

Business Day is every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays.

ACH, Automatic and Preauthorized Transfers:

You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits (such as some payroll deposits) to be made directly into your Account. You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills or to pay for purchases made through the Internet or telephone from your Account. You may transfer funds between your checking account and savings account. You may originate outgoing external transfers. Certain limits may be imposed on the amount and frequency of outgoing external transfers or they may be altogether prohibited. These limits may change at our discretion, may be implemented without prior notice, and are not disclosed in detail for security reasons.

While there is no charge for transfers, you need to be aware that federal regulations have set the maximum number of preauthorized withdrawals to six (6) from your savings account in any statement period.

Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By Third Parties:

You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers between your Account and the third party's account. These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and bank information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers.

Examples of these transfers include, but are not limited to:

  • Preauthorized credits. You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits to be accepted into your Account(s).
  • Preauthorized payments. You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your Account(s).
  • Electronic check conversion. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your Account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills.
  • Electronic returned check charge. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to initiate an electronic funds transfer to collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds.

Debit Mastercard® Card Transactions

You may access your Account by Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") using your Debit Mastercard® card and your PIN (personal identification number) to:

  1. Get cash withdrawals from your Account (you may withdraw no more than $500.00 per day).
  2. Get the Account balance of your Account (some of these services may not be available at all terminals).

Note: If you obtain cash from a bank teller, that bank may charge a fee. This fee is a third party fee and is not assessed by us.

If you use a non-First Carolina Bank ATM or non-Allpoint® Network ATM for a withdrawal, we will charge you a fee.

ATMs may be added to or removed from the Allpoint network any time. Allpoint ATMs may not be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The location, availability, and hours of operation may vary by merchant and is subject to change. The Allpoint network is generally updated on a weekly basis and it may take up to one additional week for the Allpoint locator to reflect recently added or removed ATMs. As a result, we encourage you to check the Allpoint locator frequently and before visiting an ATM to determine the closest in-network ATM.

We also encourage you to check the ATM itself for any disclosed fees before withdrawing money. If you use a non-Allpoint Network ATM for a withdrawal, you may also be charged a fee by the ATM owner/operator, even if you do not complete a withdrawal. You may also be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer. This ATM fee is a third-party fee amount assessed by the individual ATM operator and is not assessed by us. If you believe that we have incorrectly charged you a fee, you may file a fee waiver claim by logging in, clicking the FAQs logo in the header and then the "Email Support Team" tab.

Debit Mastercard® Card Point-of-Sale ('POS') Transactions

You may access your Account to purchase goods (in person, online or by phone), or to pay for services (in person, online or by phone) at any location that accepts Debit Mastercard®.

You may not exceed $2,500.00 in POS Transactions per day with the Debit Mastercard® (PIN-based transactions may not exceed $500.00).

A hold may be placed on the funds available in your Account to cover the transaction. Held funds will not be available for withdrawal or check writing purposes during the hold period.

All vehicle rental transactions must be made in-person and you must select "debit" and use your PIN (4 digits). These transactions will be limited to $500.00, as noted above. If you select "credit", which requires your signature, (or if a merchant's system defaults to "credit") the transaction will be declined. Some merchants may choose not to accept PIN-based transactions in which case you may be unable to use your BankMobile Debit Mastercard® Card to reserve or pay for a vehicle rental reservation with those companies. If you choose to use your digital wallet as your payment method (Apple Pay(R), Google Pay(TM) or Samsung Pay), the transaction will also be declined. Online/e-commerce transactions are not supported for transactions that require your PIN.

Holds at Automatic Fuel Dispensers (AFD)

Automated fuel dispenser (pay-at-the-pump) transactions at gas station merchants may result in temporary authorizations for amounts greater than the actual purchase amount. This difference in authorization hold is due to the actual amount being unknown when the request is submitted. In allowance with Mastercard® guidelines, the amount we may temporarily hold when you swipe your debit card at the pump will be $50.00 (even if your purchase is less than $50.00). This may decrease your available balance for a brief amount of time – typically one hour. Note, these holds apply to swiped pay-at-the-pump transactions. Holds will not apply to payments made via cashier. To avoid a temporary hold, we recommend pre-paying inside.

Internet Banking

You may access your Account by computer with your user ID and Password and internet access to www.VIBE.BMTX.com to:

  1. Get the account balance of your Account.
  2. Get the account history for the last 2 months.
  3. Make payments from your Account to third parties.
  4. Order official checks.
  5. Place a stop payment order.
  6. Initiate an external transfer from an account you own at another Financial Institution.
  7. Place a wire transfer request.
  8. Request a Transfer Money from an account you own at another Financial Institution
  9. Requests copies of statements, checks and deposited items.

Your username and password act as your signature to authorize any requested transactions through the online banking service. For transfer transactions, your request will only be completed if you have sufficient funds in the Account from which you wish to transfer funds and DUAL AUTHENTICATION. Limitations are set for security reasons and are not disclosed for that reason. Transfers may be delayed based on the time of transaction and the type of transfer service you are utilizing to process the transfer.

Fees

Please refer to the separate Fee Schedule for additional information about fees.

ATM Operator/Network Fees

When you use a non-First Carolina Bank ATM or non-Allpoint Network ATM for a withdrawal, we will charge you a fee.

ATMs may be added to or removed from the Allpoint network any time. Allpoint ATMs may not be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The location, availability, and hours of operation may vary by merchant and is subject to change. The Allpoint network is generally updated on a weekly basis and it may take up to one additional week for the Allpoint locator to reflect recently added or removed ATMs. As a result, we encourage you to check the Allpoint locator frequently and before visiting an ATM to determine the closest in-network ATM.

We also encourage you to check the ATM itself for any disclosed fees before withdrawing money. If you use a non-Allpoint Network ATM for a withdrawal, you may also be charged a fee by the ATM owner/operator, even if you do not complete a withdrawal. You may also be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer. This ATM fee is a third-party fee amount assessed by the individual ATM operator and is not assessed by us. If you believe that we have incorrectly charged you a fee, you may file a fee waiver claim by logging in, clicking the FAQs logo in the header and then the "Email Support Team" tab.

Charges Made in Foreign Currencies

If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Account was issued, the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by Mastercard International Incorporated into an amount in the currency of your Account. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Mastercard International Incorporated from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Mastercard International Incorporated itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.

Personal Identification Number (PIN) and Passwords

Your PIN and password are identification methods that are both personal and confidential. You are required to use your PIN with your Debit Mastercard® at an ATM or ATM Merchant terminal. It is a security method by which we help you maintain the security of your Account. Your password is another security method that maintains the security of your Account and the transactions you process online. Therefore, you agree to take all reasonable precautions that no one else learns your PIN or password. As such, you agree that you will not reveal your password, PIN, or any other access device to any person nor write your PIN or password on your card or on any item kept with your access devices; and not leave a computer terminal unattended after you have logged on using your password or other access device.

Preauthorized Payments

If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Account, you can stop any of these payments with timely notice to us. Contact us at the website, through our mobile application, telephone number or address listed in this disclosure in time for us to receive your request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.

Notice of varying amounts

If these regular preauthorized payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made, and how much it will be. (You may choose instead 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 you set.)

Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer:

If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Documentation Terminal transfer:

You can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your Account using most automated teller machines or point-of-sale terminals.

Statement:

Your statement will be available to you through www.VIBE.BMTX.com. If you request, you may also receive a printed history of your Account by calling 1-877-327-9515 or through the website at www.VIBE.BMTX.com.

Preauthorized credits:

If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 1-877-327-9515 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.



Financial Institution's Liability:

Liability for failure to make transfers:

If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we may be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

  1. If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Account to complete the transaction;
  2. If a merchant refuses to accept your card;
  3. If the ATM where you were making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
  4. If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
  5. If access to your Account has been blocked after you reported your card lost or stolen;
  6. If there is a hold or your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
  7. If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
  8. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
  9. Any other exceptions stated in our Agreement with you.

Customer liability:

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card/code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an Electronic Fund Transfer has been made without your permission. Contacting us through the website is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. If you believe your card and/or PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, contact us via the website or the telephone number or address listed in this Agreement. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card/code, you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50.00) if someone used your card/code without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card/PIN and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card/PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500.00).

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card/PIN or other means, tell us at once. We must hear from you the latter of; sixty (60) calendar days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared or 60 days from when your account history was first made available to you through the website, or you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) calendar days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

Online Bill Payment Terms and Conditions

These terms shall be part of the Account Terms and Conditions and shall apply to any use of the Online Bill Payment Service offered by The Bank through its third party service provider, BM Technologies, Inc. ("Service").

Definitions:

"Agreement" means these Terms and Conditions of the Service.

"Business Day" is every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays.

"Due Date" is the date reflected on your Recipient statement for which the payment is due. It is not the late date or grace period.

"Recipient" is the person or entity to which you request a bill payment to be directed.

"Payment Instruction" is the information provided by you to the Service for a bill payment to be made to the Recipient.

"Scheduled Payment" is a payment that has been scheduled through the Service but has not begun processing.

"Scheduled Payment Date" is the day your Account will be debited and is also the day the Service will begin processing your payment, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non- Business Day in which case it will be considered to be the next Business Day.

Payment Scheduling:

When scheduling payments you must provide the correct information, such as the correct name, address, phone number or account information for the Recipient. Scheduled payments submitted before 1 p.m. ET on any given Business Day, will be processed on the same Business Day. Payments submitted after 1 p.m. ET will be processed on the next Business Day.

Your first payment to a Recipient may be made by paper check. This applies to new Recipients as well as Recipients you have paid before and include one-time and recurring payments. After the first payment you will be able to determine if future payments to the Recipient will be sent via paper check or electronically.

Payments issued electronically will begin processing on your Scheduled Payment Date and will arrive approximately three (3) Business Days after the Scheduled Payment Date. When scheduling payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no fewer than three (3) Business Days before the actual Due Date, not the late date or grace period.

If electronic delivery is not available for the Recipient, payments will be issued by paper check. Payments will begin processing on your Scheduled Payment Date and will arrive approximately six (6) Business Days after the Scheduled Payment Date. When scheduling payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no fewer than six (6) Business Days before the actual Due Date, not the late date or the grace period.

The maximum transaction limit for bill payments is $250,000.

The Service Guarantee:

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Recipients or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your Account. The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges, up to $50.00 per incident, should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under "Payment Scheduling" in this Agreement.

Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance:

By providing the Service with names, addresses and account information of Recipients to whom you request us to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Recipient directives.

Please be aware that by initiating an online bill payment you are authorizing us to debit your Account to pay the indicated recipient on your behalf. In using the Service, you understand that Recipients and/or the United States Postal Service may return payments to the Service for various reasons. The Service will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Recipient or void the payment and credit your Account.

The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service will incur no liability and any Service guarantee will be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances: a) If, through no fault of the Service, your Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction; b) The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction; c) You have not provided the Service with the correct information such as the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Recipient; and d) Circumstances beyond the control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Account or causes funds from your Account to be directed to a Recipient inconsistent with your Payment Instructions, the Service will be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Account, and for directing to the proper Recipient any previously misdirected transactions.

Payment Methods:

The Service reserves the right to select, at its sole discretion, the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Recipient. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment or a check payment.

Payment Cancellation and Stop Payment Requests:

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited; therefore, a stop payment request must be submitted. The Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Service. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service will not have liability for any third party charges that may be incurred. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing.

Limitation on Payments:

Payments to Recipients outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service. You also agree to use the Service for lawful payments only. Tax payments and court-ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service; however, such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event will the Service be liable for any claims or damages resulting from you scheduling of these types of payments. The Service guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. The Service has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from this type of payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected payments will be your sole responsibility and not that of the Service.

The Service reserves the right to refuse, at our sole discretion, to pay any Recipient to whom you may direct a payment. The Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Recipient designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement.

Exclusions of Warranties:

THE SERVICE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Recipients.

Password and Security:

You agree not to give or make available your password or other means to access your Account to any other individuals. You are responsible for all payments authorized through your Account using the service. If you permit other persons to use the Service or your password or other means to access your Account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. If you believe that your password or other means to access your Account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred money with or without your permission, you must notify the Service immediately.

Services Fees and Additional Charges:

Any applicable fees are displayed on the website or set forth in the applicable fee schedules in effect from time to time. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize the Service to deduct the calculated amount from your Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any fees associated with your Account will continue to apply.

Alterations and Amendments:

This Agreement, applicable fees and service charges may be altered or amended by the Service from time to time. In such event, the Service will provide notice to you on the web or as required by law. Any use of the Service after the Service provides you a notice of change will constitute your agreement to such changes. Further, the Service may, from time to time, revise or update the applications, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, the Service reserves the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services, and/or related material and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions and updates.

Service Termination, Cancellation, or Suspension:

In the event you wish to cancel the Service, you may have the ability to do so online, or you may contact customer service. Any payments the Service has already processed before the requested cancellation date will be completed by the Service. All Scheduled Payments including recurring payments will not be processed once the Service is cancelled. The Service may terminate or suspend Service to you at any time, at its sole discretion. Any abuse or commercial use of the Service can result in immediate termination of your use of the Service. Neither termination nor suspension will affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement.

Disputes

In the event of a dispute regarding the Service, you and the Service agree to resolve the dispute by looking to this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and the Service which supersedes any marketing or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between you and the Service relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. If there is a conflict between what an employee of the Service or Customer Service communicates and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

Miscellaneous

You may not assign this Agreement to any other party. The Service may assign this Agreement to any future, directly or indirectly, affiliated company. The Service may also assign or delegate certain of its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent contractors or other third parties.

The captions of sections hereof are for convenience only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Your card and your obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement. Use of your card is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other association involved in transactions. We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Pennsylvania except to the extent governed by federal law.

THE FOREGOING WILL CONSTITUTE THE SERVICE'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE SERVICE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE, OR MAINTENANCE OF THE SERVICE.

Important Information About Substitute Checks (Check 21 Act)

What is a substitute check?

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.

Substitute Checks and Your Rights

In the event that you receive a check back from us, some or all of the checks you receive back may be substitute checks. This notice describes the rights you have in the event that 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.

What are my 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.

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.

How do I make a claim 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 at:

BM Technologies, Inc.
PO Box 278
Maple Shade, NJ 08052

Tel. 1-877-327-9515

Or, contact us via email by logging in to your account and clicking on the "FAQs" link.

You must contact us within forty (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 the following information to help us identify the substitute check: (identifying information, for example the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check).
