Information about your deposit account

CORNERBANK N.A.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE

General Agreement. In this Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure, each and all of the depositors (whether joint or individual) are referred to as "you" and "your." The Financial Institution is referred to as "we," "our," and "us." This Deposit Account Agreement contains the terms and conditions governing certain of your deposit accounts with us. The acronym "NOW" means Negotiable Order of Withdrawal. You understand that the following agreement governs your account with us, along with any other documents applicable to your account including our Funds Availability Policy Disclosure, Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosure, and Truth in Savings Disclosure, if applicable, which are incorporated herein by reference.

General Rules. The following rules apply to all types of accounts:

  1. Deposits. Deposits may be made in person or by mail at any time. We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail until we actually receive and record them. We may refuse to accept particular checks or similar instruments as a deposit to your account at our discretion. Any cash deposit will be credited to your account in accordance with this Agreement. Any other item that you deposit will be handled by us in accordance with our usual collection practices. If any item you deposit is returned unpaid, we will debit your account and adjust any interest earned. You will, in any event, be liable to us for the amount of any check you deposit to your account that is returned unpaid, plus our costs and expenses associated with the collection of all or part of such amount from you, including reasonable attorney fees. You understand you may not be able to withdraw funds until we have received final settlement for any item deposited. Any deposit made on Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, or after our cutoff hour on business days, will be processed on the next business day. Deposits may be subject to a service charge. Deposits to checking and NOW accounts shall be handled in accordance with our current Funds Availability Policy which will control the banking day deposits are deemed received by us and when they will be available for withdrawal.
  2. Collection of Deposited Items. In receiving items for deposit or collection, we act only as your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. All items are credited subject to final settlement in cash or credits. We shall have the right to forward items to correspondents including all Federal Reserve Banks, and we shall not be liable for default or neglect of said correspondents for loss in transit, nor shall any correspondent be liable except for its own negligence. You specifically authorize us or our correspondents to utilize Federal Reserve Banks to handle such items in accordance with Provisions of Regulation J (12 CFR Part 210), as revised and amended from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board. In the event we are subject to local clearinghouse rules, you specifically authorize us to handle such items in accordance with the rules and regulations of the clearinghouse.

    3. If we permit you to withdraw funds from your account before final settlement has been made for any deposited item, and final settlement is not made, we have the right to charge your account or obtain a refund from you. In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights. Except as may be attributable to our lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, we will not be liable for dishonor resulting from any reversal of credit, return of deposited items or for any damages resulting from any of these actions.

  3. Set-offs. We may set-off funds in your account and any other accounts held by you, jointly, or individually, to pay any debt you may owe us; this includes any item(s) that we may have cashed for you that are returned to us unpaid. If the account is a joint account, we may offset funds for the debt of any one of the owners. In addition, you grant to us a security interest in your deposit accounts to secure any debt you may owe us in any non-consumer transaction.
  4. Claims. In response to any garnishment, attachment, restraining order, injunction, levy, citation to discover assets, judgment, reclamation, other order of court or other legal process (“Claim(s)”s), we have the right to place a hold on, remove from your account(s) and/or remit to the designated third party(ies) any amount on deposit in your account as set forth in and required by such Claim(s). If the account(s) is/are held jointly, we may place the hold, remove from the account(s) and/or remit the amounts from the account(s) arising from any Claim(s) relating to any one or more of the account holders. In addition, we may charge against your account(s) any fee authorized by law in connection with the Claim(s) or as otherwise set forth in the disclosures.
  5. Expenses. You agree to be liable to us for any loss, costs, or expenses that we incur as a result of any dispute involving your account, including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law, and you authorize us to deduct such loss, costs or expenses from your account without prior notice to you.
  6. Dormant Accounts. You understand that if your account is dormant, you will be charged the fee specified in the Account Disclosure and we may stop paying interest to the extent permitted by law. You understand that your account balance may be escheated (that is turned over to the state) in accordance with state law.
  7. Joint Accounts, Trust, Fiduciary and Custodial Accounts. You acknowledge that if your account is set up as a joint account, trust, fiduciary or custodial account, it is your sole responsibility to determine the legal effects of opening and maintaining an account of this nature.
  8. Joint Account. If this is a joint account, all deposits are the property of the person(s) indicated on the account and we may release all or any part of the amount in the account to honor checks, withdrawals, orders or requests from any person named on this account. Any person named on the account is liable for the amount of any overdraft regardless of whether he or she signed the item or benefited from the proceeds of the item. Upon receiving written notice from any person named on the account, we may freeze the account. The account may be frozen until we receive written notice, signed by all parties named in the account, as to the disposition of funds. We may use the funds to satisfy a debt or judgment of any person named on this account if ordered to do so by a court of law.
  9. Joint Account with/without Right of Survivorship. If this account is noted as a joint account with right of survivorship (and not as tenants in common), on the death of one arty to a joint account, all sums in the account on the death vest in and belong to the surviving party(ies) as his or her separate property and estate. In the event this account is designated as a joint account without right of survivorship (and as tenants in common) and we receive written notice of death of any person named on the account, we may freeze the account until we have received satisfactory evidence as to the disposition of the account.
  10. Payable on Death Account. If this account is noted as a Payable on Death account, the Owner(s) may change the named Beneficiary(ies) at any time by completing and delivering to us a new Payable-On-Death (P.O.D.) Beneficiary Designation form prior to that Owner's death. The Owner(s) reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the deposit at any time. For joint accounts with right of survivorship, transfers to the surviving Beneficiary(ies) of the last surviving Owner will occur once that Owner is deceased. For joint accounts without right of survivorship, transfers to the surviving Beneficiary(ies) of an Owner's legal share of the account will be made after the death of that Owner. The Beneficiary(ies) is entitled to the account (or Owner's legal share of the account) after all of the claims, including the Owner's outstanding checks and debits, have been paid. If more than one Beneficiary is entitled to transfer, the Beneficiaries will own such funds in equal shares without right of survivorship.
  11. Custodial Account. Any custodial account maintained is subject to the Kansas Uniform Transfers to Minors or other applicable state or federal law. The account must be opened in the name of a custodian. There may be only one custodian and one minor or beneficiary for each account.
  12. Power of Attorney. If you wish to name another person to act as your attorney in fact or agent in connection with your account, we must approve the form of appointment.
  13. Corporate, Partnership, and Other Organizational Account. You agree to supply us with a separate authorization informing us of the authorized signer(s) and to provide any other related documents, if requested to do so.
  14. Fees, Service Charges and Balance Requirements. You agree to pay to us and are responsible for any fees, charges or balance/deposit requirements as provided in the Account Disclosure provided to you at the time you opened the account. Fees, charges and balance requirements may change from time to time. We also reserve the right to impose a service charge for cashing checks drawn on your account, if the person cashing the check is not a customer of this financial institution.
  15. Non-Sufficient Funds. If your account lacks sufficient collected funds to pay a check, preauthorized transfer or other debit activity presented for payment, we may return such item for non-sufficient funds and will charge you a fee as provided in the Disclosures, subject to our Overdraft Policy, and if applicable to any overdraft protection plan you have consented to in writing with us. Regardless, our handling of the item may subject your account to a fee. We will process checks and other debit items in the order identified in your Truth in Savings Disclosure.
  16. Amendments and Alterations. You agree that the terms and conditions governing your account may be amended by us from time to time. We will notify you of amendments as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the account evidences your agreement to any amendments. Notices will be sent to the most recent address shown on the account records. Only one notice will be given in the case of joint account holders.
  17. Notices. You are responsible for notifying us of any address or name changes, the death of an account holder or other information affecting your account. Notices must be in a form and manner acceptable to us with enough information to allow us to identity the account. Notice sent by you to us is not effective until we have received it and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Written notice sent by us to you is effective when mailed to the last address supplied.
  18. Closing Account. We may close the account at any time, with or without cause, by sending you notice and a check for the balance in our possession to which you are entitled. At our discretion, we have the authority to pay an otherwise properly payable check, which is presented after the closing of your account.
  19. Transfers and Assignments. You cannot assign or transfer any interest in your account unless we agree in writing.
  20. Applicable Laws and Regulations. You understand that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the state where this account is opened under federal law controls. Changes in these laws may change the terms and conditions of your account. We will notify you of any changes as required by law.
  21. ACH and Wire Transfers. This agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code – Funds Transfers as adopted by the state in which the account is opened. If you send or receive a wire transfer, you agree that Fedwire Funds Service may be used. Federal Reserve Board Regulation J is the law that covers transactions made over Fedwire Funds Service. When you originate a funds transfer for which Fedwire Funds Service is used, and you identity by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary 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. If you are a party to an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) entry, you agree to be bound by the rules and regulations of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) Operating Rules, the Rules of any local ACH, and the Rules of any other system through which the entry is made.
    Provisional Payment. Credit we give you is provisional until we receive final settlement for that entry. If we do not receive final settlement, you agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with the entry, and the party making payment to you via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry. Notice of Receipt. We will not provide you with notice of our receipt of the order, unless we are so requested by the transfer originator in the order. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements we provide to you.

    Choice of Law. We may accept on your behalf payments to your account which have been transmitted, that are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state where we are located.

    International ACH Transactions. If your transaction originates from a financial agency that is outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, it may be subject to additional review for compliance with the rules of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If the additional review is required, the International ACH transaction will not be available to you until it passes final verification.

  22. Stop Payments. If you request us to stop payment on a check you have written or on a preauthorized transfer, you will give written or other confirmation as allowed by us within 14 days of making the request. If you fail to confirm an oral stop payment request within the 14 days, we reserve the right to cancel the request. Request to stop all future payments on a preauthorized transfer may require additional documentation to be supplied to us. Your stop payment requests must describe the item or account with reasonable certainty and we must receive the request in a time and way that gives us a reasonable opportunity to act on it. A stop payment on a check you have written will remain in effect for 6 months or until we receive written revocation of the stop payment, whichever occurs first. A stop payment on a preauthorized transfer will remain in effect until we receive a withdrawal of the stop payment request or the return of the debit entry(ies), whichever occurs first. You may be charged a fee every time you request a stop payment, even if it is a continuation of a previous stop payment request. You understand that we may accept the stop payment request from any of the joint owners of the account regardless of who signed the check or authorized the transfer. Our acceptance of a stop payment request does not constitute a representation by us that the item has not already been paid or that we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on the request.
  23. Checks. All negotiable paper ("checks") presented for deposit must be in a format that can be processed and we may refuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement. All endorsements placed on the reverse side on any check which you deposit to your account, must be placed so they are on the left side of the check when looking at it from the front and must be placed so they do not go beyond an area located 1 1/2 inches from the left edge of the check when looking at if from the front. We may refuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement, and, if we do accept it, you will be completely responsible for any loss incurred by us which is premised on an endorsement not meeting this requirement, including reasonable attorney fees.

    24. You will have the responsibility to make sure at the time you issue any check that the format is such that there will be no writing whatsoever on the reverse side of the check placed beyond an area located 1 1/2 inches from the left edge of the check when looking at it from the front. You can be completely responsible for any loss incurred by us which is premised on an endorsement no meeting this requirement, including reasonable attorney fees.

    Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions 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. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute check(s).

  24. Stale or Postdated Checks. We reserve the right to pay or dishonor a check more than 6 months old without prior notice to you. If you can write checks on your account, you agree not to postdate any check drawn on the account. If you do and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may pay it or return it unpaid. We are not liable for paying any stale or postdated check. Any damages you incur and that we may be liable for are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check.
  25. Check Safekeeping. If you can write checks on your account and utilize a check safekeeping or any other system offered by us for the retention of your checks, you nderstand that the canceled checks will be retained by us and destroyed after a reasonable time period or as required by law. Any request for a copy of any check is subject to a fee as described in our Account Disclosures. If for any reason we cannot provide you with a copy of a check, our liability will be limited to the lesser of the face amount of the check or the actual damages sustained by you.
  26. Statements. If your account a Checking, NOW, Money Market, or Statement Savings account, we will provide you with a periodic statement showing the account activity. The account holder who receives this statement is the agent for his/her co-account holder(s) for purposes of receiving the statement and items. You must notify us within 30 days after we mail or otherwise make the statement available to you of any discrepancies. If you fail to notify us, you will have no claim against us. However, if the discrepancy is the result of an electronic fund transfer, the provisions of our Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement will control its resolution. If you do not receive a statement from us because you have failed to claim it or have supplied us with an incorrect address, we may stop sending your statements until you sufficiently make written request that we resume sending your statements and you supply us with a proper address.
  27. Account Disclosure. If your account is considered a consumer account, at the time you opened your account, you received an Account Disclosure which provided a schedule of all fees and charges applicable to the account, the interest rate and applicable Annual Percentage Yield, minimum balance requirements, compounding and crediting of interest and other pertinent information related to the account. This information found in the disclosure may change from time to time. If the fees, charges, minimum balance requirements or other items change in a manner that would aversely affect you, we will provide you with written notice 30 days prior to the change.
  28. Signatures. Your signature on the Account information form is your authorized signature. You authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money, that are drawn on us regardless of by who or by what means (including facsimile signature(s)) may have been affixed so long as they resemble the signature specimen in our files. For withdrawal and for other purposes relating to any account you have with us, we are authorized to recognize your signature; and we will not be liable to you for refusing to honor signed instruments or instructions if we believe in good faith that one or more of the signatures appearing on the instrument instruction is not genuine.
  29. Facsimile Signatures. If your items are signed using any facsimile signature or non-manual form of signature, you acknowledge that it is solely for your benefit and convenience. You agree that no facsimile signature you have authorized us to honor may be considered a forgery or an unauthorized signature, and that every authorized facsimile signature shall be effective as the signatory’s own original, manual signature. You accept sole responsibility for maintaining security over any device affixing the signature as such signature will be effective regardless of whether the person affixing it was authorized to do so. Your authorization notwithstanding, we are not obligated to accept or pay any items bearing facsimile signatures. Further, most checks and other items are processed automatically, i.e., without individual review of each check or item. Therefore unless we agree in a separate writing, in our sole discretion, upon your request and due to unique circumstances to conduct individual review of checks or other items for more than one signer, you agree that we are acting with common and reasonable banking practices by automatically processing checks and other items, i.e., without individual review of each item. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against all loss, costs, damage, liability, and other injury (including reasonable attorney fees) that you or we may suffer or incur as a result of this practice.
  30. Restrictive Legends. We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in a writing signed by an officer of the financial institution. Examples of restrictive legends are "two signatures required” must be presented within 90 days" or "not valid for more than $1,000.00."
  31. No Waiver. You understand and agree that no delay or failure on our part to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to us under this Agreement shall affect or preclude our future exercise of that right, remedy, power or privilege.
