INTRODUCTION: The Service allows you to access your accounts electronically to view transactions or statements, to transfer funds internally or externally, to make deposits, to communicate with us securely, and to perform other actions as more fully described in this Agreement beginning with the section titled “Online Banking Services.” To have access to the Service, you must agree to this Agreement electronically by clicking on the “Accept” button. If you do not consent, or if you withdraw your consent, we will terminate your access to the Service. Some features of the Service require a separate electronic agreement, particularly Consumer and Business Bill Pay, Statements, and Treasury Management Services. Your consent or not to those features will not affect your access to other features of the Service. However, if your access to the Service is terminated, your access to those other features will also be terminated. By clicking the “Accept” button, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and you agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. To withdraw your consent or terminate this Agreement, reach out as shown in HOW TO CONTACT US, at the beginning of the Agreement. We will act on your request within three (3) business days.
If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a business entity or another individual, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind such business entity or individual to these terms. This Agreement is intended to supplement, and not replace, the terms and conditions of the deposit agreements and disclosures for each of your Bank accounts (e.g., loans, Bill Payment, Treasury Management Services, etc.), which continue to apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. If there appears to be a conflict between this Agreement and other agreements with the Bank, the agreement that is most closely related to the product or service in question shall govern the resolution.
You have the right to obtain documents of record available through the Service in paper form by paying the fees described in the applicable Schedule of Fees available on BannerBank.com.
To request paper documents, please reach out as shown in HOW TO CONTACT US, at the beginning of the Agreement.
HOURS OF ACCESS: You may generally access your Bank account(s) through the Service seven days a week, 24 hours a day. However, at certain times, some or all of the Service may not be available due to system maintenance, end of day processing, or other reasons.
ACCESS: To use the Service, you must have a Bank account, access to the Internet, a phone number and an email address. When you have accepted this Agreement, you will be able to log in with the Login ID you or your administrator have created. Your first log in requires a secure access code, which will be sent by SMS text or phone call, using information in Bank records. This information will also be used to provide other alerts. Your enrollment gives the Service the right to send the communications to the phone number or email address on file. You have the right to limit the communication to one of the available methods by editing your online profile. You agree that this initial access process and the other security features and procedures described in the sections titled “LOGIN ID / PASSWORD,” “DEVICE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS,” “REGISTER YOUR DEVICE” and “SECURITY” are commercially reasonable security procedures to conduct financial transactions, such as funds transfers and bill payments, through the Service.
This Service may be used to access the Bank accounts for which you are an authorized signer only. We are not obligated to monitor transactions through the Service to determine that they are made on behalf of the accountholder. Any special signature restrictions that you may have established with respect to check transactions on your account(s) (e.g., two signatures required, dollar limits on signers, etc.) are not enforceable through the Service. You agree not to make any claims with respect to any such restrictions for transactions processed through the Service and agree to hold the Bank harmless against any loss, liability, or claim, including attorney’s fees and costs, resulting from the processing of any transaction through the Service that does not meet such special signature restrictions.
LOGIN ID / PASSWORD: Upon the initial enrollment, you or your administrator will create a Login ID and password, and your chosen password will not be accessible by the Bank. You are responsible for keeping your password, account number(s), and other account information confidential. You also agree to change your password regularly. We strongly recommend you do not authorize any other person to use your password. Neither Banner Bank nor any of its service providers will ever ask you for your password or your 6-digit secure access code and you should never give it to anyone else. You understand that authorizing another person to use your password will give that person full access to your account(s) including, without limitation, creating transactions and altering services such as bill pay, etc. Such authorization shall continue to be effective until you have changed your Login ID and/or you have changed your password. If you provide your password or other access information to any other person, the Bank will not be liable for any damage resulting to you. You agree to notify the Bank immediately if you believe another person has improperly obtained your password.
Upon three unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to the Service will be suspended. To re-establish your authorization to use the Service, to report that your password may have been lost or stolen, or to report that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, notify us as soon as possible by reaching out as shown in HOW TO CONTACT US, at the beginning of this Agreement.
DEVICE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: You are responsible for the safety, security, and operation of Devices you use to access your account, including the installation and operation of anti-virus software. You are responsible for your browser software, including ensuring that you are using the version supported by the Service and have installed any and all updates. Visit the bannerbank.com/financial-resources/security/online-banking-security page for acceptable browsers and operating system versions. The Bank is not responsible for any problems related to any electronic virus that may infect your system. You must have a Device that can support up-to-date security requirements and an attached printer if you wish to maintain hard copies of information, communications, or documents through the Service. The Bank makes no warranties that your Device or software is or will continue to be compatible with the Service. You agree to promptly install any updates, patches, or fixes that we make available via our mobile app for security reasons or otherwise for the proper functioning of the Service.
REGISTER YOUR DEVICE: Device registration, using a secure access code, is a feature to provide additional security for the Service. You will have the option to register your Device for one-time only access or for continued use. To register your Device, it must be configured to accept secure cookies. Once your Device has been registered, you will be asked to enter your Login ID and password for future logins. If you delete the cookies on your browser, log in from a different Device, re-install the application, or your secure cookie has expired, you will be prompted to obtain a secure access code again to register your Device.
SECURITY: Your role in preventing misuse of the Service is extremely important. Examine your statement promptly upon receipt. If you find that your records and the Bank’s records disagree, immediately notify the Bank. In addition to protecting your account information, you agree to take precautions to protect your personal identification information, such as your driver’s license, Social Security Number, etc.
This information by itself or together with information on your account(s) may allow unauthorized access to your account(s). You agree not to leave your Device unattended while logged into the Service and to log off immediately at the completion of each session. You also agree to notify the Bank if someone has transferred or you suspect someone may transfer money from your account(s) without your permission, or if you suspect any type of fraudulent activity on your account(s). Only reveal your account number(s) to a legitimate entity for a purpose you authorize (such as your insurance company for automatic payments). If you do not maintain security or promptly report unauthorized transactions, you could lose all the money in your Bank account(s), plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if applicable. Unless otherwise required by law, the Bank will not be responsible for losses that may occur.
BUSINESS USER ADMINISTRATION: The first authorized signer on a business account who enrolls in Business Online Banking is the “Administrator.” The Administrator is given rights within Business Online Banking to add or remove other users (“sub-users”) and to modify sub-user access rights including the features, functionality, and accounts the sub-user has access to. Examples of features that may be added to or restricted for sub-users include but are not limited to transfers & payment services, Snapshot Deposit™, Business Bill Pay, check reorder, stop payments, credit card accounts, the ability to open a new account online, and access to statements. The Bank may communicate with any sub-user based on the contact information and access rights provided to the sub-user.
ACCOUNT BALANCES AND TRANSACTION HISTORIES: You can obtain balances and transaction histories on all eligible accounts. The balances in your accounts may change at any time as we process items and fees against your accounts. These changes may occur as a result of real time posting of transactions such as Debit Card transactions or as a result of the Bank’s end of day processing. Current balance and activity information is available the morning following the previous day’s business.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.
If an image of an item you transmit through Snapshot Deposit™ is received and accepted before 6:00 p.m. (PT) on a business day, we will consider that business day to be the day of your deposit. However, if your Snapshot Deposit™ is received or accepted after 6:00 p.m. (PT) on a business day, or on a day we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next business day. We will confirm acceptance of your deposit via email.
Funds deposited using Snapshot Deposit™ will generally be made available the first business day after the day of deposit; however, availability of funds deposited may be delayed for a longer period under certain circumstances. Please contact us for additional information regarding the Bank’s Funds Availability Policy.

If a deposit is made after the 6:00 p.m. (PT) cut-off time, it will count toward the applicable limit for the next day. We may change your deposit limits at any time. Any decrease will be subject to notice, as required by law. We may reduce your limits without prior notice if an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the Service.
The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be at our sole discretion subject to the Banner Bank Deposit Account Agreement governing your account.
The image of an item transmitted to the Bank using Snapshot Deposit™ must be legible, as determined in our sole discretion. The image quality must also comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.

o You will not re-deposit or re-present an original item;

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER – Consumer Accounts:
Your Rights & Responsibilities for Online or Mobile Banking
The full Electronic Fund Transfer disclosure, provided at the time of opening your account, outlines the types of electronic transactions we are capable of handling for consumers, some of which may not have applied to your account. As part of our policy of issuing a new electronic access device for your account, this modified disclosure outlines the specific elements of the full Electronic Fund Transfer disclosure applicable to Online or Mobile Banking activity. Please read this disclosure carefully because it reminds you of your rights and obligations for Online or Mobile Banking transactions. You should keep this notice for future reference.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S LIABILITY:
Liability for Failure to Make Transfers
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses and damages. However, there are some exceptions.
We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer;
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line;
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer;
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
- There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
CONFIDENTIALITY: We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
- In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
- If you give us your written permission.
Refer to Banner Bank’s Privacy Policy located at bannerbank.com/privacy-policy.
PERIODIC STATEMENTS: You will get a monthly account statement (unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In any case you will get the statement at least quarterly.)
PREAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS:
- Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so. If you told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here’s how: Call or write us at the telephone number and address listed in this disclosure, in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. Stop payments placed using the Service will be subject to applicable fees as outlined in the Schedule of Fees disclosure.
- Notice of varying amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.)
- Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS:
Consumer Liability
Tell us at once if you believe your Online or Mobile Banking Login ID and/or password has been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. 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 two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft or compromise of your Online or Mobile Banking Login ID and/or password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Online or Mobile Banking Login ID and/or password without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft or compromise of your Online or Mobile Banking Login ID and/or password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Online or Mobile Banking Login ID and/or 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, including those made by Online or Mobile Banking, card, code, or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (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.
Contact in the Event of Unauthorized Transfer
Call or write to us if you believe:
- Your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, or
- A transfer has been made using the information from your check without permission

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (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 forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (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 ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account.
For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
