In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Electronic Transfers, telephone us at (215) 592-1188 or write us at Asian Bank, P.O Box 448 Philadelphia PA 19105, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
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 after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days 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.
For errors involving new accounts, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
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.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission. 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 password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password 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, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was sent 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.
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
In no event will we be liable for any present or future consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages, even if we have first been advised of the possibility of such damages. You agree to take all reasonable actions to mitigate any loss or damages.
We may change the terms of this Agreement from time to time. We may also change the fees and service charges, add new fees and service charges, or make other changes to our fees and charges from time to time. If a change in terms would result in increased fees for any Online Banking service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund transfers, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of transfers, we will give you notice at least 21 days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or the Online Banking system. We will mail or deliver a written notice to you of the change and post a notice of the change on the Bank’s website. If advance notice of the change is not required by law, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of your Account or the Online Banking system, we will notify you of the change in terms within 30 days after the change to Online Banking is effective. Your continued use of any or the Online Banking services means that you accepted and agreed to the change in terms.
You agree that any notice or other type of communication provided to you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and any future disclosures required by law, including electronic fund transfer disclosures, may be made electronically by posting the notice on the Online Banking system website, the Bank’s website or sent to you by e-mail. You agree to notify us immediately of any change in your e-mail address.
You may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason by calling us at (215) 592-1188 or by sending a written notice of termination to us at Asian Bank, P.O. Box 448 Philadelphia PA 19105.
We may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to Online Banking Services at any time for any reason without notice to you.
