Internet Security Information
Kendall State Bank’s Internet Banking system is part of the FundsXpress
Financial Network that utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect
your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In-depth information
on many of the techniques and features employed by the system can be viewed or
printed from our website where the system’s consumer or commercial features
are explained under the link for "Security." In addition to our
log-on security, we use the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for
everything you do in the Internet Banking system. This technology is
automatically activated by your browser when it attempts to connect to our
system and it will support either the 40 or 128 bit key lengths, although we
will warn you when your browser is set to use the lower security level
encryption of 40 bits. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser
will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the
appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open
to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are
scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party
can read the information as it is carried over the Internet. In addition, our
servers have been certified by a "Certificate Authority" that will
assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone
pretending to be us. (If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior
to than versions 4.0 on Netscape or Internet Explorer, the "Certificate
Authorities" key may be expired and you may need to update it on your
browser. You can obtain instructions on how to do this by clicking on the 3x
Browser SSL Update link located here or above the "Enter" icon on
the Internet Banking system login page.)
During your use of the Internet Banking system, we will pass a
"cookie" to your browser for identifying you during the session. We do
not (and can not) use our cookies to obtain new information about you. A
"cookie" is security data that is given to a browser by a web server
that is returned by the browser on subsequent transmissions to identify the user
and encryption information. When you log onto the system, this cookie enables us
to process multiple transactions during the session without you having to
provide your Access ID and passcode for each individual transaction. When you
log off, or after ten minutes, the cookie is no longer accepted and must be
renewed by requiring the passcode to be reentered. A new cookie is used for each
session. That way, no one can use the cookie to access your account.
In addition to the security measures described above, there may be other
security notices posted on the website regarding security issues. It is your
responsibility to read all applicable notices. One of the main security features
guarding the use of the Internet Banking system is the unique combination of
your Access Code and Passcode. It is important that you keep your Passcode
secret. We will not be liable for any losses resulting from your permitting
other persons to use your Access Code and Passcode to access the system.
If you have more questions about our security systems for conducting
transactions safely over the Internet, contact our Internet Banking department.
Registration Process
The Internet Banking service requires that the customer complete the initial
registration process. This involves completing a secure online application that
will identify your Kendall State Bank location and all the information that we
will need to enable the service. The Internet Banking department will verify the
information you submitted for accuracy and authorizations. In about one week,
you will be notified when your account will be activated.
Log-On Security
Security is very important to the Internet Banking system. At the time you
request the service, you will select a unique "Access ID" and then
choose a "passcode" that will be used to gain access to the system.
Prior to activation, the Internet Banking department will verify your identity
and authorization to information associated with the accounts that you requested
tied to the service. To assist our customers make a good secure passcode
selection, our system uses a program called a "passcode cracker" that
will not allow words found in a dictionary or associated with your name, address
or other personal information. The system will provide helpful tips to help you
select a good passcode.
To help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts,
we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for 10 minutes.
This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended
after you logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to
re-enter your passcode and your session will continue where you left off.
Because your passcode is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as
you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a
passcode that is hard to guess. (The "passcode cracker will encourage you
to stay away from names, dates, and information that may easily be guessed).
Keep your passcode safe. Memorize your passcode and never tell it to anyone. You
may consider changing your passcode occasionally, such as every 90 days. This
can be done at any time after you logged on from the "services" menu.
Accounts
You may request to access any account that you are a signer or owner. If you
desire services that allow you to initiate payments or transfers from the
account, you will need the required withdrawal authority over the account to be
able to complete the transaction. By using the service, you agree to maintain
one or more accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in any account to
cover any transaction and fees that are ultimately approved by or related to the
system. If the accounts added to the service are jointly held or have multiple
signers, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated
by the use of your Access Code and Passcode are authorized unless we have been
notified to cancel the service.
Fees for the Internet Banking /Bill Payment Service
The Internet Banking / Bill Payment Service is available to our existing
personal account customers. The Bill Payment feature is a service for checking
accounts, you must specifically request to have this service added.
It is easy to pay bills online. Simply set up your Payees by choosing from
the database of vendors (Payees) that already exist, or by entering necessary
information to schedule a payment. We are able to process payments to payees
that have a US Postal address. Due to liability issues, we will not accept
payments to federal, state or local tax agencies. Otherwise, there is no limit
to who you pay or how many payees you may establish. We maintain a large vendor
database of regional or national billers to make this process quicker and
easier. The Bill Payment service will also allow you to see a history of all the
payments made from your accounts.
The daily limit for the total dollars of payments approved is governed by the
system’s available balance in the checking account selected for making the
payment. You can withdraw up to the system’s available balance as long as your
account shows sufficient funds to cover your payments. The payment will normally
be charged to your account on the business date that it is approved.
The fee for the Internet Banking/ Bill Payment service will be
$5.95 per month which includes 10 bill payment transactions generated on each of
your checking accounts that you have signed up for the Bill Payment
service. For each additional bill payment transaction over 10, the cost
will be $.50 per bill payment transaction. The fee for the Internet Banking/Bill
Payment service on the Student Checking account will be $1.00 per month and $.50
per bill payment transaction.
If for any reason a scheduled payment processed through the system is
declined, it will automatically be rescheduled for the following business day.
The system will notify you of this action by sending you a "message"
that will appear the next time you logon to the system. The system will continue
to attempt to pay the bill on the following business days until there are
sufficient funds or you cancel or reschedule it.
Although payments may be scheduled for the current business day or any date
in the future at any time, they will only be processed once a day at our cut-off
time, usually around 12:30PM CST on any business day. (If you attempt to
schedule a payment for that day after 12:30PM, the system will notify you
that you need to change the date to the next business day.) Anything scheduled
on a non-business day, or after the cut-off time, will not be sent out until the
following business day. Since we must forward the funds and billing information
to the payee, some lead-time for payments is necessary. In general, the system
will attempt to tell you when you can expect the payment to be received by the
payee. The estimated payment arrival date is typically shown on the check where
you schedule the payment date below the amount line. (Our system assumes the
payee/vendor will promptly process the payment on the business day it is
received. Any delays caused by the payee/vendor would result in additional days
before the payment would show on their records.) By using this service, you
authorize us, and any third-party payment processing agent we may use, to choose
whatever method we feel is the most effective method to process your
transaction.
The time frames generally will be determined by the way the payment is sent
to the payee. If we have to send a paper check in the US Postal system, we
typically suggest sufficient time as five (5) business days prior to the payee
receiving the payment for processing at their address. If the payee accepts the
payment electronically, we generally define sufficient time as two (2) business
days prior to the payee receiving the payment. In all cases, the payment will be
delivered to the payee/vendor by the tenth business day after the payment was
approved and charged to your account.
Cancellation of Internet Banking
Your Internet Banking may be canceled at any time by Kendall State Bank in
whole or part without prior notice due to insufficient funds in one of your
accounts or other circumstances that may create an unanticipated
liability to us. You will remain responsible for all transactions approved by
the system prior to the cancellation, and for any other fees associated with the
service. After cancellation, service may be reinstated once sufficient funds are
available in your accounts to cover any fees and other pending transfers or
debits. In order to reinstate services, you must call Internet Banking Service
Support listed below in the Errors and
Questions section.
Balance Inquiries, Bill Payments and Transfers Limitations
You may use Internet Banking to check the balance of your accounts and to
transfer funds among your accounts. According to Federal regulations, you may
not make more than six (6) pre-authorized or automatic transfers or bill
payments from your Money Market Deposit Account or Savings Account during a
given monthly statement period. There are no limits to the number of transfers
or bill payments from your Checking Accounts. Kendall State Bank currently
limits the bill-payment service to only Checking Accounts.
Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification
by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in
progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A
transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time
required to process the request. If you have further questions, contact your
Internet Banking Coordinator.
The balances are updated periodically and the system will display the most
current "as of" date on the "accounts" summary page. There
may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The system
will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base
our approval.
Special Information about the Stop Payment, Check Reorders, Address Change,
Order Documents, Secure E-Mail & Secure File Delivery Services
The system includes several options under the "services" menu that
provide a means to securely forward your request to us for processing.
Generally, requests received from the system will be processed within one
business day using procedures that would handle similar requests received by
mail or fax. If urgent action is required, we recommend that you contact Kendall
State Bank directly by telephone or in person. Additional terms of
acceptance or disclosures may apply on the Stop Payment service and these terms
will be disclosed at the time you complete the request. The Stop Payment feature
is designed to submit a request to stop payment on checks you have written or
electronic drafts that are deducted from your account. There may be additional
fees associated with some of these services. This service is not available to
cancel the payments scheduled through the bill payment service. If you have
a problem or need to cancel a bill payment, you will need to contact the
Internet Banking department or use the "Report A Problem" link in the
"Payments" menu.
Our Liability for Incomplete Transactions
It is our responsibility to process all bill payments properly initiated
through the Internet Banking system in accordance with this Agreement. We will
be liable for damages, as defined in this Agreement, where the system caused a
payment delay or failed to process a payment to be received by the payee/vendor
by the tenth business day following the date your account was charged for the
payment. Transfers will be processed within two business days of the completed
transfer transaction. We will not be liable if any of the following occurs:
- Funds are not showing on the system’s available balance in your account
that is to pay for the bill or transfer at the time of transaction.
- Funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the
payment or transfer.
- You had knowledge of or questions about the possible malfunction of the
system when you initiated the transaction.
- Any information provided by you about the Payee is incorrect.
- There are any delays in the handling of the payment by the Payees.
- Natural disasters (fire, flood, tornado, etc.) or other uncontrollable
circumstances (mail delays, power failures, etc.) prevent proper completion
and delivery of transactions.
- Other applicable laws and/or regulations exempt us from liability.
- It can be shown that the merchant or payee received the payment within the
normal delivery timeframe and failed to process the payment through no fault
of Internet Banking or our service providers.
- It can be shown that the delay was caused by unusual mailing delays by the
US Post Office.
Payment Guarantee
We will reimburse you up to $50 per payment for any late payment fees or
penalties you are charged as a result of the Payee/Vendor not receiving a
payment by the Due Date if all the following apply:
- You scheduled the payment before the cut-off time on a transaction date at
least ten (10) business days prior to the Due Date.
- Correct information was provided to us about the Payee (name, address,
account number, and amount).
- Your account contained sufficient available funds to complete the payment
or transaction on the transaction date.
- The Payee was a Business Payee that charges late charges or penalties.
- Late payment fees or penalties were assessed by the Payee due to the delay
of this payment.
- You received no prior notice from the Payee/Vendor that there was a

tenth day.
Notice of Your Rights and Liabilities
Notify us immediately if your Access ID and Passcode have been compromised,
lost, stolen or used without your authorization.
Failure to notify us immediately could result in the loss of all money
accessible by the passcode. Telephoning us at the number listed below in the Errors
and Questions section is the
best way of limiting your possible loss. You could lose all the money in
your account.
If we are notified within two (2) business days after you discover that your
Access ID and Passcode has been compromised, lost or stolen, you can lose no
more than $50 if someone used it without your permission. If you do not notify
us within two (2) business days, and we can prove we could have prevented
someone from using the Access ID and Passcode without your permission, you could
lose as much as $500.
If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, 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 you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could

reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we may
extend the time periods to a reasonable time.
