You must also follow all of our instructions and procedures applicable to the services covered by this agreement.

Password Standards/Requirements: We require a minimum of 9 characters in your password to help enhance the security of it.

Access Codes
To use our Online Banking service, you must use the access codes we establish or provide for you. Keep them confidential to prevent unauthorized use or loss to your accounts. Anyone to whom you give your access codes will have full access to your accounts even if you attempt to limit that person’s authority. Additionally, that person will have full access to any other of your accounts which are accessed by those access codes, even if those accounts are in your name with another person.
None of our employees or employees of our affiliates will contact you via phone or email requesting your access codes. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately at our phone number shown in the section below entitled Notify us IMMEDIATELY for Unauthorized Transactions. Protecting Your Personal Information
In addition to protecting your access codes, you should also take precautions to protect your personal identification information, such as your driver’s license, Social Security number, or tax identification number. This information by itself or together with account information may allow unauthorized access to your accounts. You should treat personal information with the same level of care that you would for your account information. You should also protect and secure all information and data stored in any personal computer or other equipment you use to access our Online Banking service. Individual Agreement for Online Banking Service
We do not have joint agreements for our Online Banking service. If you are an individual or sole proprietor, you are the only customer under this agreement. However, any of the accounts to which you have access through our Online Banking service may be jointly owned with, or joint obligations with, others. If joint account owners/obligors each obtain our Online Banking service-meaning that each of you will have separate access codes this will be identified as two separate Online Banking services. Qualifying Accounts
We will tell you which types of accounts qualify for our Online Banking service. You must be a named owner/obligor on the account in our records for it to qualify. Any account requiring more than one signature for withdrawal, draw or transfer of funds does not qualify. You agree to provide us with any authority we require before we permit access to any qualifying account.
How to Use Our Online Banking Service
Please refer to the online help and instructions on how to use our Online Banking service. These instructions are part of this agreement. Types of Online Banking Services
You, or someone you have authorized by giving them your access code (even if that person exceeds your authority), can instruct us to perform the following transactions:
- Transfer funds between qualifying accounts;
- Obtain information that we make available about qualifying accounts; and
- Obtain other services or perform other transactions that we allow. Preauthorized Recurring Fund Transfers
To the extent we make them available, you authorize us to establish preauthorized recurring fund transfers in accordance with the requests you make for us to do so. We will only allow preauthorized recurring fund transfers that do not vary in amount.
Communications Link and Your Equipment
It is your responsibility to obtain and maintain your online communications link to our Online Banking service to ensure that your use of such communications link is in compliance with applicable requirements, including any requirements of telecommunications companies and authorities. You are responsible for obtaining, installing, maintaining and operating all hardware, software and Internet access services necessary for obtaining our Online Banking service.
Limits on Online Fund Transfers
You must have enough available money or credit in any account from which you instruct us to make a transfer. All transfers must be in U.S. Dollars.
For security reasons, we may implement limits on the number or amount of transactions you can make using our Online Banking service. We also reserve the right to limit or suspend access to our Online Banking service as we deem necessary for security reasons. We may also limit access from countries other than the United States of America.
When Online Funds Transfers are Made
Transfers are not final at the time we receive your instructions, but we will begin to process them promptly. You should allow at least 1 business day for us to process transfers.
Each transfer will be posted to any account with us from which it is made, and to any other account with us that is involved in the transaction, on the business day on which the transfer is made. Each transfer you make on a non-business day, or after our Online Banking cut-off time on any business day will be considered made on the following business day. Our Online Banking cut-off time is 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Information you obtain about your accounts using our Online Banking service may not reflect transactions that have not yet been posted to your accounts. You should keep that in mind when you perform or attempt to perform any transactions on the basis of such information.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers from Consumer Accounts If we do not complete a transfer from a consumer account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages. However, there are exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance: • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available money in the account from which a transfer is to be made, or if the account has been closed or
is not in good standing, or if we reverse a transfer because of insufficient funds.
- If any transfer would go over the credit limit of any account.
- If your equipment or ours was not working properly and the breakdown should have been apparent to you when you attempted to conduct the transaction.
- If you have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers or other identifying information so that we can properly credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction.
- If you do not properly follow our instructions or if you provide us with wrong or inaccurate information or fail to correct or tell us about any inaccuracy of which you are aware.
- If you do not instruct us soon enough for your transfer to be received and credited.
- If the money in the account from which a transfer is to be made is subject to legal process or other claim restricting the transaction.
- If circumstances or persons beyond our control prevent, delay, intercept, or alter the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. Stopping or Changing Transfers
If you want to stop or change transfers you have instructed us to make, you must notify us before we have started processing the transaction. This applies to both individual transactions as well as preauthorized recurring transactions.
The normal way to do this is for you to access the appropriate function in our Online Banking service no later than the day before the business day the transfer is scheduled to be made, and either delete it or make the change.
You may also call us at 1-844-782-2651, or write to us at The Poca Valley Bank, P.O. Box 56, Walton, WV 25286, or by using any electronic stop payment method which we provide for this purpose. If you call or write, you must do this in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing on paper and get it to us within 14 days after you call.
If you order us to stop a preauthorized recurring transfer from a consumer account as described above, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages.
Statements
Your funds transfers will be indicated on the monthly statements we provide or make accessible to you for the accounts with us that are involved in the transaction. We may also provide or make accessible to you statement information electronically or by some other means. You agree to notify us promptly if you change your address or if you believe there are any errors or unauthorized transactions on any statement or in any statement information. Online Banking Fees
There is no fee for our Online Banking service.
Disclosure of Information to Others
We may disclose information about your accounts with us as follows:
- To consumer reporting agencies.
- In connection with audits.
- For fraud, security or risk control.
- To help complete a transaction you initiate, including information requested to verify the existence or condition of an account.
- To resolve disputes or inquiries you may have about your accounts.
- With your consent or at your direction, in writing, by telephone, electronic or other means we recognize.
- When disclosure is required by law, such as pursuant to court order, subpoena, legal process or government agency examination or investigation, or to protect or enforce our rights.
- To companies that perform services for us in connection with your accounts, such as data processing and software companies and collection agencies.
- As otherwise necessary to service your account, or as permitted or required by law.
See our separate “Consumer Information Privacy Notice” for more information about how we use customer information and your choices.
Your Liability for Authorized Transactions
You are liable for all transactions that you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authority. If you have given someone your access codes and want to terminate that person’s authority, you must notify us that transactions by such a person are no longer authorized. We may have to change your access codes or take additional steps to prevent further access by such person.
Notify us IMMEDIATELY for Unauthorized Transactions
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your access codes have been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised or used without your authorization. Quickly telephoning us is the best way of reducing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit).
You may call us at 1-304-577-6611, 1-844-782-2651 or write to us at The Poca Valley Bank , P.O. Box 56, Walton, WV 25286. If we provide you with another electronic means of notifying us for this specific purpose, you may use that means. However, DO NOT use a general e-mail service or other electronic means that we have not specifically authorized for this purpose.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transactions From Consumer Accounts This section applies only to transactions from consumer accounts.
If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your access codes involving a consumer account, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used them without your authority. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your access codes, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using them without your authority if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your statement for a consumer account shows transfers covered by this agreement 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 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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
Transfers Involving Insufficient Funds
If you instruct us to make a transfer and you do not have a sufficient balance in the account from which you are making the transfer (including available credit under any overdraft line), we may refuse to complete the transaction. We may do this even if there are sufficient funds in accounts other than the one you were using to make the transfer. If we complete a transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction in the account from which the transfer is made, you agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other account you have with us. In any case, you are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any transfers you make or authorize.
If we do not make a transfer, or if we reverse a transfer, because of insufficient funds, we are not required to make any further attempt to process the transfer or to notify you that the transfer has not been completed. You may be liable for a non-sufficient funds fee under the terms governing the account from which you made, or attempted to make, the transfer.
In Case of Errors or Questions About Transactions Involving Consumer Accounts This section applies only to transactions covered by this agreement and that involve consumer accounts.
Call us at 1-844-782-2651 or write us at The Poca Valley Bank , P.O. Box 56, Walton, WV 25286, as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer covered by this agreement which is listed on the statement.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and account number (if any).
- Describe the error or transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error and why you need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
- If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing so that we receive it within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we are not required to provisionally credit your account.
For errors involving new account transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to provisionally credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
When the investigation is completed, we will make any necessary or appropriate adjustments to your account. We will tell you the results within 3 business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error or the error was different than you described, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

Methods of Delivery. We may provide alerts through one or more channels (“endpoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) your Poca Valley Bank Online Banking message inbox.

However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside Poca Valley Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold Poca Valley Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose. Alert Information. As alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number.

*******************************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLY ONLY TO BUSINESS ENTITIES OR INDIVIDUALS PERFORMING TRANSACTIONS FROM BUSINESS ACCOUNTS:
Company Representative If You Are a Business Entity
If you are a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or some other form of business entity, we will issue one set of access codes to a company representative. It is that person’s responsibility to ensure that access codes are provided only to persons so authorized. You represent to us that each company representative and anyone else using your access codes has general authority from your company to give us instructions to perform transactions using our Online Banking service.
Each person using your access codes will have the ability to:
- Make transfers from qualifying accounts, regardless of the dollar amount of the transaction.
- Make transfers regardless of whether he/she is otherwise an authorized signer or an obligor on any accounts that are accessed.
- Obtain information that we make available about qualifying accounts.
- Obtain other services or perform other transactions that we authorize or allow. Allow anyone else to use those access codes to make transfers or obtain information or other services.
Your Liability for Transactions From Business Accounts
You are liable for all transactions that you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authority. If you, or a company representative, have given someone your access codes and want to terminate that person’s authority, you must notify us, in writing, that transactions by such person are no longer authorized. We may have to change your access codes or take additional steps to prevent further access by such person.
Our system supporting our Online Banking service is designed so that it may be operated only upon entry of valid access codes. Since we condition access upon entry of valid access codes, we will accept instructions for transfers or other transactions from any person using valid access codes. This is so even if the person obtaining access:
- Is not a company representative.
- Exceeds your authority or that granted by any company representative.
- Does not have your authority.
- Has had his/her authority changed or revoked.
- Is an imposter or thief.
You agree to be bound by all transactions from any business account for which valid access codes were used. You authorize us to treat any instructions we receive using valid access codes as if the instructions had been made in writing and signed by the appropriate company representative. Unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary, our records will be conclusive regarding any access to, or action taken through, our Online Banking service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we agree that you will not be responsible for transactions which occur after you have notified us to block the access codes that were used to perform the transaction, and we have had a reasonable opportunity to do so. Thus, the sooner you notify us of a problem, the better you can keep your losses down. (See the
Notify us IMMEDIATELY for Unauthorized Transactions section above.) You agree to promptly examine all account statements and any confirmations of transfers which we or other banks may send or make available to you, and to promptly notify us of any discrepancy or error within 30 days of receipt of any such statement or confirmation.
Limitations on Our Liability in Connection with Business Accounts
We will make every reasonable effort to provide full performance of our Online Banking system, and on a timely basis to resolve disputes that may arise. We will only be responsible for acting on instructions that we actually receive. We cannot assume responsibility for any malfunctions or capacity reductions or other problems in your equipment or in public communications networks not under our control that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of transactions you perform. Our only liability is to correct errors within our control. We are not responsible or liable to you for any loss, damage or injury caused by our Online Banking system. Neither will we be liable for any consequential, incidental, special, indirect or punitive loss or damage, including but not limited to dishonor of checks or other items or expenses which you may incur or suffer by reason of this agreement or the services we provide, whether or not the possibility or likelihood of such loss, damage, or expense is known to us.
WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Security Procedures
By entering into this agreement and using our Online Banking service to perform transactions from business accounts, you agree to comply with all of our present and future security procedures with respect to transactions and services covered by this agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, protection of access codes and other personal and business information. Our security procedures are contained in this agreement and in other written procedures we may provide to you.
You acknowledge receiving a copy in writing of our current security procedures in this agreement and other documents we may provide to you. You agree that our current security procedures are commercially reasonable in the context of your business operations. We may at any time change our security procedures. We may advise you of such changes to the extent they affect your use of transactions and services under this agreement, but failure to do so will not affect your obligations or our rights. You agree to give all of our security procedures the highest level of confidentiality and to ensure that no access codes are used by or accessible to anyone other than persons you have authorized.
Notwithstanding any security procedure which may from time to time be in effect for detecting errors in transactions covered by this agreement, we have no duty to discover or report to you any such errors. Neither shall we be liable to you for the failure of such security procedure to detect such errors, regardless of the manner in which we apply such security procedures. Indemnification
If you are a business entity or an individual performing transactions from a business account, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and costs), losses or damages claimed by any third parties (including but not limited to any company representatives or other persons authorized to perform transactions) arising out of (i) any transactions or attempted transactions covered by this agreement from a business account or (ii) your breach of this agreement.

Use-based fees for the Service will be charged against the Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the Service. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. Section 18 of the General Terms (Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Service, including without limitation if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the External Account; Section 18 of the General Terms should be interpreted as applying to the External Account, not just the Eligible Transaction Account, in such circumstances.
- Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. As required by applicable law, we will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds.
- Returned or Failed Transfers. In using the Service, you understand transfers may be returned or fail for various reasons such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Account or void the transfer. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, failed, or denied transfer to your Account that we debited for the funds transfer or use other reasonable efforts to return such transfer to you as permitted by law. In certain cases, we may require you to contact us or the financial institution for your External Account to initiate a request to receive such funds. You may receive notification from us.
