Thank you for your interest in the Heritage Bank Online Banking and Bill Pay Service.

Please read this agreement and print it for your records before clicking on the "I Understand and Agree" button at the bottom of this page.

This Internet Banking and Bill Pay Service Agreement (“the Agreement”) explains the terms and conditions governing the use of basic Internet Banking Services offered by Heritage Bank. All Internet Banking Services offered by Heritage Bank (including, but not limited to funds transfers) will be referred to collectively as “Internet Banking Services” in this Agreement. By using any of the Internet Banking Services, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions, a copy of which may be accessed by calling your branch. All Internet Banking Services offered by Heritage Bank are governed by this Agreement, as well as applicable Federal Regulatory disclosures and the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions of Heritage Bank.

INTERNET BANKING AGREEMENT
I agree that my use of the Internet Banking Services will confirm that I have completed and reviewed this Agreement and applicable disclosures, both of which Heritage Bank may amend from time to time. My initial use of any Internet Banking Service in connection with my account(s) at Heritage Bank constitutes my acceptance and agreement to be legally bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and of the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions.

1.Internet Banking Services
I have the Checking and/or Savings account(s) with you set forth on my application form. I hereby request that you issue to me Login Codes to be used in connection with such accounts as described in the Agreement. I understand I may use Internet Banking to (1) transfer funds between accounts; (2) obtain available balances on accounts; (3) obtain the current balances on accounts; and (4) obtain transaction history on accounts. Internet Banking Services requires me to have Internet access established.

2. Identification Number and Password
I understand that my Password or PIN can be used to expend funds from my account and that this code must be safeguarded. I authorize Heritage Bank and its agents to follow any instructions transmitted by use of this code, and I agree to be bound thereby. If accessing a business or non-commercial account, I certify that I am authorized to use the PIN or Password. Heritage Bank is entitled to act upon instructions received through any Internet Banking Service under my PIN or Password without inquiring into the identity of the person using the PIN or Password. However, I agree that I will not, under any circumstances, disclose my PIN or Password to any person. I acknowledge that no employee of Heritage Bank needs or should ever ask for my PIN or Password. I am liable for all transactions made or authorized using my PIN or Password. Heritage Bank has no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person determining the validity of any transaction received using my PIN or Password. If I provide my PIN or Password to anyone, I authorize any transactions carried out by that person. Heritage Bank assumes all transactions authorized by my PIN or Password are legitimate. I hereby indemnify and release Heritage Bank from any and all liability and agree not to make any claim against Heritage Bank or bring any action against Heritage Bank in honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where I have authorized the person performing the action or transaction to use my account or when I have provided my PIN or Password to that person.

3. Liability for Unauthorized Transactions
I agree to contact you at once if I believe the Login Codes issued to me have been lost or stolen. At any time, I may ask you to disable my Access ID or Password and issue a new one to me. I also agree that if my monthly statement shows transactions which I did not make, and I do not contact you within 60 days after the statement was mailed to me, I risk the return of lost funds. I understand that if I believe an unauthorized transfer from any of my accounts has occurred, I will contact you by writing, calling or e-mailing you at:
Heritage Bank
695 Marion Blvd, Marion, Iowa 52302
319-373-5400

4. Business Accounts
If I have a business account I am liable for all transactions that occur on the account. As the owner of the business account I authorize all transactions made by any other persons. As the owner of the business account I agree to be liable for any other parties designated (by being given the PIN or Password) to conduct business on the account(s).

5. Multiple Accounts
For multiple accounts, each person on a multiple party account will be liable for all transactions that are made on that account. Each person on a multiple party account authorizes all transactions made by any other signer(s) on the account(s). Each owner(s) on a multiple party account(s) agrees to be liable for the actions of the other owner(s) on the account. The limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement are subject to, and limited by any state or federal law to the contrary.

6. Bill Pay Service
To use the Bill Payment Service, you must complete the Bill Pay enrollment form at Heritage Bank or enroll online. You must designate a checking or money market deposit account with us as your Bill Payment Account. However, we recommend against using a money market deposit account for your Bill Payment Account because of the limits on transfers from a money market deposit account, which are discussed below. Heritage Bank is not liable for incorrect source account selection by the customer.

When you schedule a bill payment using the Bill Payment Service, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your Bill Payment Account with us. We may refuse to act on your instruction if sufficient funds, including funds available under any applicable overdraft plan, are not available in your Bill Payment Account on the date of payment. You are responsible for any non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) and overdraft charges that may apply.

Heritage Bank will process variable payments on the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except holidays) you designate the bill is to be processed, provided the payment request is received prior to the cut-off time set by Heritage Bank, which is currently 8:00 p.m. CST. Variable bill request received after the business day cut-off time, or at any time on a non-business day will be processed on the next business day. Heritage Bank reserves its right to change the cut-off time by giving you notice if it changes. FOR RECURRING PAYMENT REQUESTS, IF YOU DESIGNATE A PROCESSING DATE OF THE 28TH THROUGH THE 31ST OF A MONTH, PROCESSING WILL BE INITIATED ON THE LAST CALENDAR DAY OF THE MONTH. Otherwise, recurring payment request will be processed on the dates you have designated, unless such date falls on a non-business day resulting in your payment being processed the next business day.

YOU MUST ALLOW AT LEAST SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS FOR EACH BILL PAYMENT (RECURRING OR VARIABLE) TO REACH THE MERCHANT. (IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SUBSCRIBER TO SCHEDULE/ACTIVATE RECURRING PAYMENTS)

Please note that if you do not schedule or process a payment in your Heritage Bank Bill Pay account for any six-month period, Heritage Bank reserves the right to disconnect your service. Please note that your online bill payment information will be lost if you are disconnected.

7. Charges
I agree to pay the charges or transaction fees which are charged by you for these services or for services which may later be offered as such fees or charges may be imposed or changed from time to time. Further, I agree to pay all telephone charges or fees incurred by me in accessing Internet Banking Services.

Bill Pay Services are free to all customers with personal checking accounts. Fees are subject to change.

8. Amendment of this Agreement
Heritage Bank has the right to modify or terminate this Agreement or the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions at any time. When making changes, Heritage Bank will comply with all legal notice requirements. Once this Agreement is terminated Heritage Bank will not allow any additional transactions on the account, nor will additional Internet Banking Services be permitted. If this Agreement is modified, my continued use of the Account will represent my acceptance of the changes.
