In order for any of the listed Services to be available to you, you must request the Service and, if necessary, the account(s) that will be accessed, and we must approve the Service in connection with the account(s). Your receipt of this Agreement does not mean that the Services are activated for you, and you may be required to accept a separate agreement to obtain these Services. Check with the Bank to determine which Services you have requested and for which account(s) you have requested such Services, and which Services we have approved activation for you. The Bank may, at its sole discretion, limit the availability of Services as it deems appropriate.

These services are subject to the terms and conditions in the DADA and any other disclosures, agreements and schedules that we may provide you from time to time in connection with such services.

RECORDS

Terminal Transfers. You can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using a Terminal.

Periodic Statements. You will receive a monthly account statement if you have an electronic funds transfer in that month. Your statement will reflect each transaction, purchase, and cash withdrawal charged to your account and each credit applied to your account during the monthly account cycle, and the related fee if any. If there are no electronic transactions in a particular month, you will receive a statement at least quarterly. HSA accounts will receive a statement semi- annually, unless combined with a Johnson Bank checking account.

Our Liability. If we do not complete a transaction to or from your account in accordance with the terms and conditions of the account in the correct amount or in a timely manner when properly instructed to do so by you, we will be liable for damages proximately caused. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE 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 USE OF THESE SERVICES.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. We may disclose information about your account(s) or transactions on your account(s): (a) to other recipients of combined account statements; (b) to third parties where it is necessary for completing or tracing transactions or resolving errors or claims; (c) to verify the existence and condition of your account for third parties, such as credit bureaus, merchants and other financial institutions; (d) pursuant to court orders and other legal process; (e) to governmental agencies or authorities in response to subpoenas, summonses, search warrants or other requests, including requests pursuant to state or federal law for the collection of court-ordered child support obligations, unless prohibited by law from making such a disclosure; (f) to others of your consent or where required by law to disclose such information; and (g) to our affiliates.

We may use anonymous, aggregate information, which we collect and store, or which is collected and stored on our behalf by third party vendors, to conduct certain analytical research and help us to create new offerings and services. We may also use anonymous, aggregate information which we collect and store, or which is collected and stored on our behalf by third party vendors, to (1) conduct database marketing and marketing program execution activities; (2) publish summary or aggregate results relating to metrics comprised of research data from time to time; and (3) distribute or license such aggregated research data to third parties. Additionally, automated technology may be used to tailor messages or advertisements that best reflect your interest and needs.

You authorize us to obtain credit information on you at any time prior to our agreement to provide a service or during the time you are using a service.

WITHDRAWALS, PURCHASES, TRANSFERS, CASH ADVANCES. Each payment instruction, withdrawal or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay from that account, which we may charge against the account even though the charge creates an overdraft. You agree to maintain sufficient funds in your account to pay in full the amount of any withdrawals, transfers or other instructions for payment out of an account. Whenever your account is overdrawn, we have the right to return unpaid any checks or other orders on your account which are presented to us and to assess a service charge for making such return (Refer to the Fee Schedule provided at account opening or subsequent Fee Schedule provided as disclosure amendment to view the service charge). If you overdraw your account, each of you agrees, jointly and severally, to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together with any applicable service charge, and we have the right to charge all or part of the deficiency to any account you may have with us or use any other collection remedy. We are authorized to charge such amounts against any account you maintain with us. If the account is maintained in connection with a line of credit, any overdraft will be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account. You should refer to your line of credit agreement for important information regarding advances of that line of credit.

Any purchase or cash withdrawal made with the Johnson Bank Check Card may be subject to authorization by us or by a VISA authorization center and the transaction may be refused if the amount of all outstanding purchases and cash withdrawals will exceed your available balance or your applicable credit limit.

Each time your Card is properly used to purchase goods or services you authorize us to debit or credit your account (whichever is appropriate) for the total amount electronically transmitted or shown on any sales draft, withdrawal order or credit voucher originated by use of the Card, whether or not signed by you, and we are permitted to handle such sales drafts, orders, and vouchers in the same way we handle checks drawn on your account. The time required to charge or credit your account after you use your Card will depend on the location of the Terminal, the type of transaction and the Card used. VISA card regulations prohibit use of a Card for any illegal transactions.

DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS THROUGH TERMINALS. All checks or drafts which we have authorized through a Terminal for deposit or payment are credited subject to collection and the credit will be reversed if the check or draft is not paid. All cash deposits and payments are received subject to verification by us. We need not credit the account for deposits until we actually receive the funds. If a reversal to a deposit account overdraws the account, we may charge all or part of the deficiency to any other account you or anyone authorized to use your Card (including any necessary extension of credit) have with us and you shall pay to us any deficiency which cannot be paid out of such accounts. Any funds deposited to an account shall be deposited by means of transfer from another account, cash or by a completed negotiable instrument payable in U.S. dollars, dated within six months prior to the date of the attempted deposit, drawn by or properly endorsed by the payee and the amount of which is not in excess of any limitations imposed by the Terminal or Terminal operator. We are not liable to you if the transaction is not completed and you have violated any of these provisions.

REFUNDS ON PURCHASES. If a party accepts your Card in payment of goods or services, and you receive credit for goods returned or adjustments, such party will send us a credit advice. We will apply the credit advice as a deposit to your account. We will not make cash refunds to you on purchases made with your Card. Unless your use of the Card results in a loan from us to you, you must raise any claim or defense with respect to goods or services purchased with your Card directly with the party that honored the Card.

FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS. If your Johnson Bank Check Card is used to effect a transaction in a foreign currency, the transaction amount will be converted to U.S. dollars by VISA International. VISA converts foreign currency to U.S. dollars using either the government-mandated exchange rate or the wholesale exchange rate in effect one day before the date of the conversion, as applicable. The exchange rate is increased by one percent (1%) if the conversion is made in connection with a charge to an account or decreased by one percent (1%) if the conversion is made in connection with a credit to an account. The date of conversion by VISA may differ from the purchase date and the posting date identified in the monthly statement of your account. You agree to pay charges and accept credits for the converted transaction amounts in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. In addition, if you use your Johnson Bank Check Card outside the United States for a transaction that does not require a foreign conversion; you may incur a VISA service fee up to 1% of the transaction amount.

OWNERSHIP; TERMINATION. The Card and eBanking Service remain our property and shall be surrendered by you upon request. We may terminate your privilege of using the Services at any time and may withhold approval of any transaction at any time, in our sole discretion. If you discontinue use of the eBanking Service you will notify us in writing no less than 10 days prior to the effective date.

AMENDMENTS. We may amend, or supplement this Agreement, our interest rates, our service charges, or our fees from time to time. Such change shall be effective upon notice sent to your current address we have on file, posted in our lobby for a reasonable period of time, a message included on or with the statement for your account, or delivered to you by any other means that we consider appropriate or as otherwise required by law. Your continued use of your account or related service after the effective date of change will be deemed that you are in agreement with the amendment or change.

STOPPING PAYMENT OF PREAUTHORIZED RECURRING TRANSFERS

  1. Right to and Procedure for Doing If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here is how:

You CANNOT stop payment of or revoke a preauthorized transfer through the eBanking Service.

  1. Notice of Varying If these regular 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 that you set.
  2. Liability for Failure to Stop 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; however, we may be able to enforce someone else’s rights against you for the payment.

DISPUTES. In the event of a dispute or Claim regarding a Service, you and we agree to resolve the dispute in accordance with the arbitration provision in the DADA. You agree that these terms and conditions are the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and us which supersede any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communication between you and us relating to the subject matter of these terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between what one of our employees says and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

AGREEMENTS RELATING TO USE OF INSTANT PAYMENT NETWORKS

Description of service.  Johnson Bank has partnered with the Real Time Payment® System and FedNow® Service (“instant payment networks”) to enable you to transfer money between you and others who are participants within the instant payment networks in real time, any time of day, any day of the year, with immediate funds availability to receivers (“Instant Payments”).  Instant Payments will be governed by the relevant operating rules of the instant payment networks, the Uniform Commercial Code and any other directly applicable laws and regulations, as well as the terms described herein.  The instant payment network used for any specific Instant Payment is at the discretion of Johnson Bank.  Certain functions of Instant Payments may not be available now or in the future, at the discretion of Johnson Bank. 

Eligibility and Enrollment. Instant payments networks may be used only for eligible payments between users whose accounts are located in the United States. You may not send or receive Instant Payments on behalf of any person or entity not domiciled in the United States. Instant Payments permitted under the rules of the instant payment networks and our requirements are considered eligible payments for purposes of this Agreement.  We are under no obligation to honor, in whole or in part, any payment instruction that could violate applicable law, including, without limitation, requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”).  By receiving Instant Payments to, or sending Instant Payments from, your account through the instant payment networks, you agree that the applicable operating or governing rules of the instant payment networks used and the terms herein are applicable to and binding upon you.  We may suspend or terminate your ability to send or receive Instant Payments at any time, including in the event we reasonably suspect you have violated these terms.  Johnson Bank may set limits on Instant Payments from time to time.

Receiving payments. You are not obligated to accept a payment that is sent to you through the instant payment networks. Most transfers of money to you from another user may occur within seconds and the money may be available to you for immediate withdrawal. However, there may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, to protect you, Johnson Bank, instant payment networks or other network banks may need additional time to verify or review the transfer. Johnson Bank may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. We shall have no liability for any action or inaction described in this paragraph.  If you wish to reject a payment, you may contact us at Johnson Financial Group Customer Support Center at 1.888.769.3796.  A user may request that you return funds sent through an instant payment network.  If we receive a return request, we will contact you but will have no liability for such requests or related actions.

Fees. Johnson Bank does not currently charge any fees for usage of the instant payment networks. Johnson Bank reserves the right to charge fees in the future for use of the instant payment networks, subject to any notice requirements of applicable regulations.  

Prohibited payments. We may establish limits on payments transferred through instant payment networks from time to time, including limits on the total amounts of transfer and/or the number of transfers.  You agree to abide by such limitations and that you may not make any payments or receive any of the following types of payments that violate or appear to violate any local, state, or federal law or regulation; payments to accounts domiciled outside the United States; or any other payment that violates this Agreement.

Liability.  Payments to and from the instant payment networks are irrevocable and cannot be reversed. You should verify that the payment you receive is from user you know and trust. Neither Johnson Bank nor the instant payment networks shall have liability to you for any transfers of money using the instant payment networks, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of Johnson Bank or instant payment networks to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any losses or damages sustained by you in connection with the instant payment networks, unless directly caused by Johnson Bank’s willful misconduct. Neither Johnson Bank nor the instant payment networks shall be liable for any typos or keystroke errors that you may make when using instant payment networks.  Any dispute between you and a sending or receiving party must be resolved directly between you and such party; Johnson Bank will have no liability in connection therewith.

Risk of Loss. Since Instant Payments are irrevocable and cannot be reversed, you should only send Instant Payments to receivers you know.  By submitting a payment instruction through our service, you irrevocably and unconditionally authorize us to initiate Instant Payments relying on the information you provide to us. If you do not verify such information is correct, or you have an error in your instructions, you may lose the full amount of your Instant Payment.

When you send an Instant Payment, you cannot reverse or otherwise dispute it because you are dissatisfied with the goods or services provided by the receiver, or because the receiver failed to deliver goods or perform services, or because you wish to return purchased goods or cancel a pre-paid service.  As such, you will bear the full risk of loss in such situations. 

If you wish to request the return of an Instant Payment you authorized us to send through the instant payment networks, please contact us at Johnson Financial Group Customer Support Center at 1.888.769.3796.  We cannot guarantee that the funds will be returned in whole or in part and shall have no obligation to make any effort to recover such funds.

Failure of transfer service. Johnson Bank will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the following:
