You may reach the Virtual Branch at www.lakeviewfcu.com. You can use Virtual Branch 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, although some or all of the Virtual Branch services may not be available occasionally due to emergency or scheduled
system maintenance. The use of your Logon ID and Security Code are required to access Virtual Branch. You are responsible for keeping your password secure. We will be entitled to act on all instructions received under your Password. Since your Password is used to identify you as an authorized user of the Services, you agree to notify us immediately if the secrecy of your Password is compromised, and you also agree not to reveal your Password to any person not authorized to use the Services. The security of your Account depends upon maintaining the secrecy of your Password. You may change your Password at any time while you are using the Services. To assist us in maintaining the security of your Services account(s), we may revoke or cancel your Password at any time without giving you prior notice.
You agree not to use your Password for any transaction that would cause your account balance to go below zero. We will not be required to complete any such transaction, but if we do, you agree to pay us the amount of the improper withdrawal or transfer upon demand and any associated fees for such service. Otherwise, you authorize us to collect any such amounts, including the amount of the service fees you may owe us from any account you maintain with us.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your login credentials. For your protection, we recommend you memorize this information, do not write it down, and change it periodically. Properly constructed credentials afford you a greater degree of assurance and are more secure if a) they contain more characters, b) if those characters are both alpha and numeric characters, c) if they consist of both upper and lower case.
You can perform the following transactions on account(s) to which you are authorized and have been given access to:
- a) Obtain balances on primary accounts and joint accounts
- b) Transfer funds
- c) View check copies
2.LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFERS
Federal regulations limit transfers for share/savings accounts and money market accounts, if applicable. During any statement period, you may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another Credit Union account of yours or to a third party by means of a pre-authorized, automatic, or computer transfer, telephonic order or instruction, or by check, draft, debit card, or similar order to a third party. A pre-authorized transfer includes any arrangement with us to pay a third party from your account upon oral or written orders including orders received through the automated clearinghouse (ACH).If you exceed the transfer limitations set forth above in any statement period, the transfer may not be completed, your regular share account and draft account may be subject to a fee, account closure, or suspension or we may revoke your access to Virtual Branch. We will not be required to complete a withdrawal or transfer from your account(s) if you do not have enough money in the designated account(s) to cover the transaction; however, we may complete the transaction. You agree not to use Virtual Branch to initiate a transaction that would cause the balance in your designated account(s) to go below zero. If you have an overdraft line-of-credit, you agree not to use Virtual Branch to initiate a transaction that would cause the outstanding balance of your overdraft line-of-credit to go above your overdraft credit limit. We will not be required to complete such a transaction, but if we do, you agree to pay us the excess amount or improperly withdrawn amount or transferred amount immediately upon our request. We also will refuse to complete your Virtual Branch transactions if we have canceled your Virtual Branch or we cannot complete the transaction for security reasons.
The functions and limitations of Virtual Branch may be updated, without notice, at the option of the Credit Union in order to provide improved service to the membership.
3.FEES FOR Virtual Branch. Currently there is no monthly service fee for using Virtual Branch; however, we may implement a fee as required by applicable federal and/or state regulations and in such case, we will notify you as soon as practicable. If at that time, you choose to discontinue using Virtual Branch, you must notify us in writing.
4.ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. Your periodic statement will identify each electronic transaction. You will receive a monthly account statement for each month in which you initiate electronic transactions.
5.IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS. In case of errors or questions about electronic transfers, telephone us at the number below, e-mail us at [email protected], or send us a written notice to the address below as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem appears.

- a) Tell us your name and member number.
- b) Describe the error or the electronic transaction you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error, or why you need more information.
- c) 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 within 10 business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 may not credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened. We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
6.LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS. You will be liable for unauthorized access to accounts via Virtual Branch to the extent allowed by applicable federal and state law. You must tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Member number, or Logon ID, or any record thereof, has been lost or stolen, or if any of your accounts have been accessed without your authority. You may contact us:
- By Phone: 440-998-2707
- By E-mail: [email protected]

Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or code without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, 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 have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods
7.TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETED. If we fail to complete a transfer to or from your designated account(s) on time and in the correct amount, and we have agreed to perform such transfer(s) (with certain exceptions), we may be liable for your losses or damages. Section 3 of this Agreement lists a number of situations in which we do not agree to complete withdrawals or transfers. We also will not be liable:
-If we have terminated this Agreement;
-If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account(s) to
make the transfer;
-If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transaction from being completed despite reasonable precautions we have taken;

-If your account is closed, frozen, or funds are uncollected;
-If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account(s);
-If you, or anyone authorized by you, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation;

-If a Payee mishandles or delays the handling of Payments sent by us;
-If your funds are held or frozen, or a court order or other legal process prevents us from making a transaction:

Your continued use of any or all of the subject system services indicates your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce, or reverse charges or fees in individual situations.

- You represent and warrant that you are either the sole owner or a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds between the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account. If you are a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account, External Account, or both, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized by all of the other joint owners to operate such Accounts without their consent (including without limitation to withdraw or deposit any amount of funds to such Accounts or to even withdraw all funds from such Accounts); and (ii) we may act on your instructions regarding such Accounts without liability to such other joint owners. Further, you represent and warrant that the External Account is located in the United States.

Options (2) and (3) above are not available for Instant Transfers. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site. When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 9 (Account to Account Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges); or, as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 9 (Account to Account Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges).

If we delay or block a Transfer Instruction that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your user preferences (i.e., email, push notification).
- We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Account to Account Transfer Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- The transfer is refused as described in Section 10 (Refused Transfers) below;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Eligible Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
- It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the Account to Account Transfer Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
- Instant Transfers. The Instant Transfers feature allows for transfers to and from External Accounts that are enabled through a Payment Network designed to deliver transfers on the same day and potentially within minutes, although actual speed will vary, as described below. Instant Transfers are not instantaneous. Delivery speed may vary based upon the fraud, risk and other funds availability policy of the applicable External Account financial institution and Payment Network availability. We are not responsible for the performance, speed, or other acts or omissions of the Payment Networks or other financial institutions that may be involved in the transmission of a transfer. We shall not be obligated to comply with the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) Rules in such recovery efforts or otherwise in connection with Instant Transfers unless the applicable transaction is transmitted through the ACH network. We are only responsible for delivery of the applicable Transfer Instructions to the applicable Payment Network in the format required by the applicable Payment Network’s specifications.
- Transfer Methods and Amounts.There are limits on the amount of money you can send or receive through our Account to Account Transfer Service. Your limits may be adjusted from time-to-time in our sole discretion. You may have the ability to log in to the Site to view your individual transaction limits. We or our Service Provider also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf through the Account to Account Transfer Service, and in the event that your Eligible Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us, the method to return funds to you.
- Transfer Cancellation Requests.You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Account to Account Transfer Service). Instant Transfers may not be cancelled as the Transfer Instructions will be processed immediately.
- Stop Transfer Requests.If you desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact customer care for the Account to Account Transfer Service pursuant to Section 26 (Errors, Questions, and Complaints). Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
- Account to Account Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Account to Account Transfer Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Account to Account Transfer Service or Site. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Account to Account Transfer Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the Account to Account Transfer 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. Additional fees may apply for Instant Transfers and Businesses enrolled in the Small Business Transfers Service. 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 Account to Account Transfer 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 22 (Failed Or Returned Transfer Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Account to Account Transfer Service, including without limitation if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient funds in the External Account; Section 22 (Failed Or Returned Transfer Instructions) 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 Account to Account Transfer 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.
