Properly signed written stop payment orders are effective for 6 months after date received and will automatically expire after that period unless renewed in writing. With respect to ACH debits, you and we agree to abide by the ACH rules and regulations regarding stop-payment orders.

We will charge you $30.00 for each stop-payment order you give over the phone and $20.00 for each stop-payment order that you place online.

Hours of Operation. You ordinarily can participate in our internet service 24 hours a day – 7 days a week. However, we reserve the right to suspend our internet service from time to time as we deem appropriate.

Either you or we can terminate this agreement without cause upon 30 days advance notice.

Changes in Terms. We can change these terms by giving you notice as required by law. Continued use of our internet service by you after notice of a change in terms constitutes acceptance of the change.

Irreconcilable Conflicts. These terms supersede those of your deposit or loan account agreements to the extent they cannot be reconciled. You expressly waive any deposit account agreement requirements of one or more signatures for withdrawal when using our internet service.

Oostburg State Bank Alerts Terms and Conditions

Alerts. Your enrollment in Oostburg State Bank’s Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about your Oostburg State Bank account(s). Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. We may add new alerts from time to time, or cancel old alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel alerts, but are not obligated to do so. Oostburg State Bank reserves the right to terminate its alerts service at any time without prior notice to you.

Methods of Delivery. We may provide alerts through one or more channels (“endpoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) your Oostburg State Bank Online Banking message inbox. You agree to receive alerts through these endpoints, and it is your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the endpoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message alerts provided through the alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your endpoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences. You agree to provide us a valid mobile phone number or email address so that we may send you alerts. If your email address or your mobile device’s number changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Your alerts will be updated to reflect the changes that you communicate to us with regard to your primary and secondary email addresses or mobile device number.

Alerts via Text Message. To stop alerts via text message, text “STOP” to 96924 at anytime. Alerts sent to your primary email address will be unaffected by this action. To restore alerts on your mobile phone, just visit the alerts tab in Oostburg State Bank Online Banking. For help with SMS text alerts, text “HELP” to 96924.

Our participating carriers include (but are not limited to) AT&T, SprintPCS, T-Mobile®, U.S. Cellular®, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS.

Limitations. Oostburg State Bank provides alerts as a convenience to you for information purposes only. An alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside Oostburg State Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold Oostburg State Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.

Alert Information. As alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.
