Bill Payment Agreement
 


Service Provider

You authorize Altra Federal Credit Union (Altra) to utilize Metavante Corporation (or another processor of our choice) to provide this service to you on the Credit Union's behalf.

Definitions

Processing Date: The date you choose to generate an ACH debit to your checking account to initiate payment to the payee. Your checking account should be debited within two business days.

Cutoff Time for Payment Instructions:
You may enter, edit, or delete payments up until 10:00 p.m. Central Time (CST) on the business day prior to the Processing date.

Business Day: Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays.

Fees

The fees and charges associated with Bill Payment are disclosed in the Schedule of Fees and Charges which accompanies this Disclosure and Agreement.

Schedule of Fees and Charges


Personal Checking Accounts
Altra members with an Altra personal checking account are allowed to use the Access 24 bill payment system at no charge.

Fees
Altra has the right to change fees at any time with 30 days notice. Additional fees will not be assessed without notice to you.

NSF Fees
If you do not have sufficient funds in your account to cover a payment, you will be charged a $30 NSF fee by Altra and a $29 Merchant NSF Fee by Metavante. Altra strongly urges all Access 24 Bill Pay users to set up overdraft protection and to use the balance notification option available in Access 24 Online Banking.

Stop Payment Fee
The fee for a Bill Payment stop payment is $30. Stop payments can only be placed on checks, not ACH transactions.

Cancelled Check Copy Fee
The fee to obtain a copy of a Bill Payment cancelled check is $3.00 per copy.

Collection of Fees
In the event funds are not available in your checking account on the date a fee is charged, we reserve the right to collect the fee from any non-IRA account on which you are listed as the Owner or Joint Owner. If we are unable to collect the monthly fee within thirty (30) days, we may terminate your subscription to Bill Payment service without notice.

Scheduling Payments

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you authorize us, and any third party acting on our behalf, to choose the most effective method to process your payment, including, without limitation, electronic (ACH), paper, or some other draft means. When possible, payments will be made electronically. However, some payments will be made by check.
You must allow at least three (3) business days between the processing date and due date (not the grace or late payment date) for electronic payments and at least five (5) business days for check payments. If you do not allow sufficient time to process a payment, or enter an incorrect due date, the Credit Union is not liable for any service or late charges levied against you.

Payment Confirmation

For each properly instructed payment to an eligible vendor, you will receive a transaction confirmation number. Unless you receive a confirmation number, we shall not be liable for any failure to make a payment, including any finance charge or late fees incurred as a result.
Subject to the limitations discussed in this Agreement, if you follow the procedures described in this agreement for payments, and you are assessed a penalty or late charge, we will reimburse you for that late charge up to a maximum amount of $15.00. If you do not adhere to the obligations described in this Agreement, or if you schedule a payment less than five business days before a vendor's due date, you will assume full responsibility for all penalties and late fees.

Restrictions
Payments may only be made in U.S. dollars to a payee with a U.S. address. Each payee must appear on the payee list you create with the Credit Union, and the account you are paying must be in your name.
You may not use Access 24 Bill Payment service to make payments to a federal, state, or local government or tax unit, payees outside the United States, or to other categories of payees we may establish from time to time.
The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to make any payments, but will notify you of any such refusal within three (3) business days following receipt of your payment process date.

Canceling Payments

You may cancel or modify a payment and/or transfer up to 10:00 p.m. CST on the business day prior to the processing date you schedule for the payment and/or transfer to be deducted from your checking account.

Failed Payments
If a non-sufficient funds (NSF) condition exists, the ACH payment debit will be returned via banking channels. The ACH return will prompt the system to block your bill payment account, preventing you from making more bill payments until the NSF condition is resolved. Any future recurring payments scheduled for release during the time the account is blocked will not be sent. If your account has 6 NSFs within a 12-month rolling period, the Bill Payment account will be closed.

The Credit Union is not responsible to notify you if sufficient funds are not available in your account. The Credit Union is not liable for any damages you incur if:

• The estimated time allowed for delivery to the payee is inaccurate
• You provide incomplete or incorrect payee information
• There are delays in mail delivery
• There are changes to the merchant address or account number
• Any merchant fails to account for the payment in a timely manner
• Any other circumstance occurs beyond the control of the Credit Union
• Your Bill Payment Service has been cancelled

Errors In Bill Payments

If you select an electronic payee address that matches your payment coupon exactly and the Bill Payment processor routes the payment to a different payment center, the Bill Payment processor is responsible for the late charge and will reimburse any payee-imposed late fees, up to $50.00. If you select an electronic payee with an address that is different from that indicated on the payment coupon, you are responsible for the late charge. You have the option to manually set up a payee with the correct address as found on the payment coupon.

Right to Impress a Lien
The Credit Union shall have a lien or the right to impress a lien on your shares and deposits for sums due the Credit Union. Such a right will not apply to shares or deposits held pursuant to Individual Retirement Accounts, self-employed plans under the Internal Revenue Code, or any other deposits for which lien rights would disqualify said deposits from special benefits or preferences provided under the Internal Revenue code.

Bill Payment Stop Payments
Stop payments cannot be placed on ACH payments, only on check payments. Please contact Altra at 608-787-4500 or toll-free at 800-755-0055 to place your stop payment request(s). There is a $30 charge for each stop payment request.

This includes any content contained, distributed, linked, or downloaded from the site. Any products or services from this site are to be used at your own risk, with no obligations or liabilities by Altra. It will be within the sole discretion of Altra to correct any errors or to omit any portion of the services, products, or materials contained herein. This Agreement, any separate instructions, and the applicable fees and charges may be amended by the Credit Union in the future. In the event of amendment, the Credit Union shall send notice to you either by mail to your last known address or transmit such notice of the amendment over the Bill Payment or Access 24 service. Your use of the Bill Payment or Access 24 service following the receipt of such notice constitutes acceptance of such amendment. You agree to be bound by and comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. These terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed with the laws of the state of Wisconsin.

Transaction Modes and Process Dates

Payments from your credit union checking account may be established as either "single" or "recurring" payments. All payments are made as single payments unless designated as recurring payments.

A single payment is established by entering the amount due and due date, specifically for a Payee's individual bill. The processing date for this payment is the date you enter into the system based on the due date of your bill. You will allow at least three (3) business days between the processing date and the due date (not the grace or late payment date) for electronic payments and at least five (5) business days for check payments

If you designate a payment as a recurring payment, you request the payment be made in the same amount to the same merchant or account on the same day every month in the future. These payments will continue until you delete the payee by following the edit/delete commands on-line or until the date you have entered as the final date of payment. The processing date for this payment is the date you enter into the system based on the due date of your bill. You will allow at least three (3) business days between the processing date and the due date (not the grace or late payment date) for electronic payments and at least five (5) business days for check payments.

Deleting or Editing Payments

Bills are either pending or processed. Pending payments are those that have not been processed. When a bill has been processed, the amount for that bill will be debited from your account within two business days. You may modify or cancel pending payment(s), because no funds have been debited from your account. You may not modify or cancel a payment that has been processed. For questions regarding payments that have been processed, contact Altra at 608-787-4500 or toll-free at 800-755-0055.

Cancellation Of Bill Payment Service
Bill Payment Service may be cancelled at any time by written request to the Credit Union. The request must include your name, address, social security number, signature and date. The Credit Union cannot cancel the service until all pending payments have cleared. If you have pending payments and do not wish to wait for them to clear, you may individually delete the pending payments by following the edit/delete commands on-line.

If you do not use Bill Payment for two consecutive billing months, we reserve the right to cancel your service.

Alterations And Amendments

These Terms and Conditions (this "Agreement"), applicable fees, and service charges may be altered or amended by the Service, and/or Altra, from time to time. In such event, the Service, and/or Altra, shall send notice to you at your address as it appears on the Service's records or in a Credit Union newsletter if the change will cause you greater cost or liability or if it will limit your access to the Service. Any use of the Service after the Service and/or the Credit Union sends you a notice of change will constitute your agreement to such change(s). Further, the Service may, from time to time, revise or update the programs, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, the Service reserves the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the programs, services, and/or related material and limit access to the Service's more recent revisions and updates.

Address Or Banking Changes
You agree to promptly notify Altra in writing of any address or e-mail address change. You also agree to notify Altra in writing at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of any change in your Payment Account or your Altra Member Status.

Payee Limitation

The Service reserves the right to refuse to pay any Payee to whom you may direct a payment. The Service is obligated to notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Payee designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment under this Agreement.

Information Authorization
To use Bill Pay you must become a registered user. Your enrollment in the Service may not be completed if the Service cannot verify your identity or other necessary information. Through your enrollment in the Service, you agree that the Service reserves the right to request a review of your credit rating at its own expense through an authorized credit bureau. In addition, you agree that the Service reserves the right to obtain financial information regarding your account from a Payee or financial institution to resolve payment-posting problems.

Disputes

In the event of a dispute regarding the Service, you and the Service agree to resolve the dispute by looking to this Agreement. You agree this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and the Service, which supercedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between you and the Service relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Other Terms And Conditions
If you cancel your Access 24 Bill Payment service, then you agree to notify us at that time. You will be responsible for all payment instructions made prior to termination and for all other applicable charges and fees. You will cancel all outstanding payment orders before notifying us to terminate this service. We will process bill payment transfer requests only to those creditors the Credit Union has designated in the "User Instructions" and such creditors as you authorize. We will not process any bill payment transfer if the required transaction information is incomplete. We will debit the designated funds from your checking account for bill payment transfer as designated by the processing date you select. You must allow sufficient time for vendors to process your payment after they receive the payment. Please allow as much time as though you were sending your payment by mail. We cannot guarantee the time that any payment will credited to your account by the vendor. Access 24 Bill Payment Service may be temporarily unavailable due to Credit Union record updating or technical difficulties.

An unlimited number of payments are allowed per day up to a maximum daily limit of $9,999.00.

You authorize Altra Federal Credit Union to charge your designated account(s) for any transactions completed through the use of the Access 24 Bill Payment Service, including any recurring payment that you make.

You regard requests for new account services, instructions to change existing account information or services, and other communication received via Access 24 as legal endorsements. As such, all correspondence initiated via Access 24 shall command the legal authority of a written request authorized by your signature.

I Choose To Pay Bills Through Bill Payment.
In the event the funds are not available in my account when making a bill payment, I may be charged a NSF fee and a Merchant NSF fee. I understand all fees are subject to change following notice to me. I agree to comply with the terms and conditions. I accept liability for all transactions made by myself, joint owners, or anyone else to whom I might give the security code. I understand that withdrawals and transfers may affect the dividend and interest earned on my account. When using Bill Payment, I authorize Altra to post payment transactions generated to the account(s) indicated. I am in full control of my account, and if at any time I decide to discontinue this service, I must provide the Credit Union with written notice. My use of Bill Payment signifies that I have accepted all of the terms and conditions of this service. I understand that payments may take up to five (5) days by check or three (3) days by ACH to reach the vendor. If I do not allow sufficient time to process a payment, or enter an incorrect due date, the Credit Union is not liable for any service or late charges levied against me.

Gift Card Terms and Conditions
 


Terms and Conditions


The following information applies to you once you become a member who has a gift card issued by Altra Federal Credit Union (Altra).

The following are your Altra Visa Gift Card Terms and Conditions. In these Terms and Conditions "you" or "your" means the person who has received the Altra Visa Gift Card; "we," "us," or "our," means Altra Federal Credit Union; "Card" means the Altra Visa Gift Card. Please read the following carefully and keep for your records. Upon receipt, the Gift Card should be signed immediately. By accepting and using your Card, you are agreeing to these Terms and Conditions.

Gift Card Usage

Your Altra Visa Gift Card is issued by Altra Federal Credit Union and may be used for purchases at most merchants where Visa Debit is accepted. The card may not be used at some merchants including airlines, recurring payments, non-financial money exchange establishments, hotels, gambling establishments, rental car agencies, or “pay at the pump” gasoline. (You may purchase gas by presenting the card inside to the attendant.) Some merchants, like restaurants, may attempt to submit authorizations against the card for an amount greater than the actual purchase amount. If a merchant attempts an authorization greater than the balance remaining on your gift card, it may be declined.

For Gift Cards purchased Online:
Before using your Altra Visa Gift Card, you must activate it by calling the number on the sticker on your card from you home phone number, or by registering the card at www.altra.org/visa_gift_card.htm.

For Gift Cards purchased in an Altra office:
For information about your Altra Visa Gift Card, you can register your card at www.altra.org/visa_gift_card.htm. You must sign the back before you can use your card.

This Gift Card is not a credit card. You may only use it when there is a balance remaining on the card and only up to the amount left on the card. Purchases will be deducted from you Altra Visa Gift Card until the value reaches zero. If you are given value through the use of the Card greater than the balance remaining, you will pay us on demand the amount by which your transactions exceeded the balance remaining on the Card.

The Altra Visa Gift Card is non-reloadable and cannot be reused. There will be a $2.50 monthly maintenance fee for each month there is a balance remaining on the card. This fee is waived for the first twelve months after the card activation date.

VISA purchases and cash advances, including ATM withdrawals, made in foreign countries or foreign currencies will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. The conversion rate to U.S. dollars will be determined in accordance with the operating regulations established by VISA. Currently the currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars is a rate selected by VISA from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate VISA itself receives or the government mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. In addition, VISA charges Altra Federal Credit Union a 1% International Service Assessment for each foreign country transaction, which will be passed through to the cardholder.

The test credit will always occur before the test debit and will always be of the same or lesser amount, so that the balance in any of your Accounts will never be less than the actual balance.

Once the test transfer is complete we may ask you to access your Account to tell

us the amount of the test credit or debit or any additional information reported by your bank with this test transfer. We may also verify Accounts through requiring the entry of information you ordinarily use to access the Account provider's web site, or by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the Account.

To enable you, and only you, to use the Service, you will be asked to choose a password when you register and are accepted as a customer of the Service.

We recommend that you do not use commonly used words, phrases or dates. In order to complete the transfer, the Recipient must provide the Shared Secret and certain other identifying information.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT GIVE THE SHARED SECRET TO ANYONE EXCEPT THE RECIPIENT FOR ANY REASON. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT YOU WILL INSTRUCT THE RECIPIENT NOT TO GIVE THE SHARED SECRET TO ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY REASON.

If you believe your password or Shared Secret has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your permission, call: 800-755-0055 or fax: 608-787-7150 , or e-mail: info@altra.org , or write: Funds Transfer Administrator, Altra Federal Credit Union 1700 Oak Forest Drive , Onalaska, WI , 54650 .

Consumer Liability

You agree to notify us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning us promptly is the best way to protect yourself from possible losses. If you never tell us, you could lose all of the money in your account (plus all the money in your overdraft sources). However, if you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. You can see a complete statement of all your funds transfers effected or pending at any time by clicking on the History tab. If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, notify us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the transfer was posted to your statement, 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.

Business Days

The Service will process requests for transfers on business days. Our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays and Federal Reserve Holidays are not included.

You may use your Funds Transfer password to transfer funds between any two of your Accounts about which you have provided the necessary information to funds transfer. Transfers can be between Accounts within the same financial institution or at an unrelated financial institution (although transfers between Accounts at the same institution may be effected more quickly by contacting the institution directly). You may also use the Service to transfer funds from one of your Accounts to an account of a Recipient. Specific instructions for transferring funds to an account of a Recipient are available by clicking on the "Pay anyone" tab. Some of these services may not be available at all times. We may from time to time make available additional or new features to the Service, including but not limited to, a next day service and a higher limit service. You will be approved or declined for any such additional service at our sole discretion and additional terms and conditions may apply. Please ensure that you have sufficient funds to effect any funds transfers from your Accounts. We may at any time decline to effect any funds transfers that we believe may violate applicable law.

Frequency of Transfers

We do not limit the number of funds transfers you may make; however, you may not make funds transfers in excess of the number of funds transfers allowed by the rules governing the applicable Accounts. We may from time to time for security and risk management reasons modify the limit, the frequency and the dollar amount of transfers you can make using our Service.

Dollar Amount of Transfers

You may not make funds transfers in excess of limits described on the Service. We reserve the right to change from time to time the dollar amount of funds transfers you are permitted to make using our Service. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that your use of the Service has been suspended and reinstated as provided herein (see "Suspension and Reinstatement of Funds Transfer Service" below), you understand and agree that your use of the Service thereafter may be subject to lower dollar amount limitations than would otherwise be permitted by us.

Transfers subject to the Rules of the Accounts

Additionally, all funds transfers are also subject to the rules and regulations governing the relevant Accounts. You agree not to effect any funds transfers from or to an Account that are not allowed under the rules or regulations applicable to such accounts including, without limitation, rules or regulations designed to prevent the transfer of funds in violation of OFAC regulations.

Rejection of Transfers

We reserve the right to decline to effect any funds transfers, to submit funds transfer instructions or orders or to carry out change or cancellation requests.

Authorization

You authorize us to select any means to execute your funds transfer instructions. You understand that to effect your funds transfer instruction we utilize the Automated Clearing House (ACH), using applicable ACH Rules, we debit one of your Accounts and credit another of your Accounts or an account of a Recipient. Once your Account has been debited, we credit our service provider's transfer account at the service provider's clearing bank. After our service provider and/or its clearing bank are reasonably certain that the debit will not be returned (in most cases this is usually between 3-4 banking days), our service provider will credit your or the Recipients Account. The sole purpose for our service provider's transfer account is to complete your funds transfer requests and for performing the services within the scope of this Agreement. The service provider earns no interest on the funds in the transfer account. If the debit side fails or is returned for any reason and the credit side has been released and cannot be collected, you authorize our service provider to collect from the Account to which the credit side of the funds transfer was sent. We reserve the right to resubmit a debit, or a portion of the debit, in the event of an insufficient or uncollected funds return and if we cannot collect the amount credited. To effect this collection, you understand and authorize us to debit the credited Account or the debited Account in either the same dollar amount as the original funds transfer or a portion of the debit. There may be a fee associated with such collection imposed by the financial institution holding the Account.

You understand and agree that we may from time to time impose additional charges in connection with your funds transfer transactions. Altra Federal Credit Union will notify you of such fee in advance of the transaction. If you choose to proceed with the transaction, you authorize Altra Federal Credit Union to debit your account in the amount indicated. In the event that a debit to any of your Accounts, or any portion of any such debit, has failed and the credit side of such transaction has been released and cannot be collected, and we are unable to debit either the debited or the credited Account as set forth above, we reserve the right, and you hereby authorize us, to debit any of your other Accounts to the extent necessary to offset any resulting deficiency. We do not undertake to notify you in such event, other than by posting any such transfer or transfers to the applicable Account in accordance with this Agreement (see "Documentation," below).

You understand and agree that in the event we are unable to execute your funds transfer request utilizing the ACH, we may utilize other established payment mechanisms in order to complete your funds transfer instructions, such as wire transfer or check. If you have requested for a funds transfer to a Recipient, you must provide us with a true, correct, current email address for such Recipient. We will contact the Recipient, and ask the Recipient to provide us with certain information, such as the account number and financial institution that they wish to transfer the funds to. If the Recipient fails to reply to the email or fails to follow the instructions provided by us, we will notify you and credit your Account for the amount of the transfer.

Suspension and Reinstatement of Funds Transfer Service

In the event that we at any time incur a problem with your use of the Service, including without limitation a fail in Funds Transfer Service to debit any of your Accounts or to collect with respect to any of your funds transfers as described above, and without limiting any other right or remedy that we may have under this Agreement or otherwise, we reserve the right to suspend your right to use the Service, immediately and without prior notice to you. You understand and agree that such action is reasonable for us to take in order to protect itself from loss. In the event of such suspension, you may request reinstatement of your service by contacting us using any of the methods provided for under this Agreement (see "Error Reporting and Claims," below). We reserve the right in its sole discretion to grant or deny reinstatement of your use of the Service. In the event we agree to reinstate you, we reserve the right to, and ordinarily will, initially reinstate your Service subject to lower per-transaction and monthly dollar limits and/or with other restrictions than otherwise might be available to you. Based upon your subsequent usage of the Service, Altra Federal Credit Union in its sole discretion may thereafter restore your ability to effect transfers subject to such higher limits as may then be in effect (see "Dollar Amount of Transfers," above).

Documentation

You may access a statement of all funds transfers effected or pending at any time by clicking on the History tab. If a funds transfer could not be completed, Altra Federal Credit Union and/or our service provider, upon learning that the funds transfer has failed, will make a reasonable effort to complete the transfer again. If the funds transfer fails a second time, we will notify you to contact your financial institution or other provider of the relevant Account to learn more about the failure.

Your Responsibility for Errors

You understand that we must rely on the information provided by you and you authorize us to act on any instruction which has been or reasonably appears to have been sent by you, to submit funds transfer instructions on your behalf. You understand that financial institutions receiving the funds transfer instructions may rely on such information. We are not obliged to take any further steps to confirm or authenticate such instructions and will act on them without getting further confirmation. You understand that if you provide us with incorrect information or if there is any error in your instruction we will make all reasonable efforts to reverse or delete such instructions, but you accept full responsibility for losses resulting from any of your errors, duplication, ambiguities or fraud in the information that you provide. You agree not to impersonate any person or use a name that you are not authorized to use. If any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, without limiting other remedies, Altra Federal Credit Union reserves the right to recover from you any costs or losses incurred as a direct or indirect result of the inaccurate or incomplete information.

Error Reporting and Claims

In case of errors or questions about your funds transfers, e-mail us at info@altra.org or telephone us at 800-755-0055 or write to us at Altra Federal Credit Union 2715 Losey Blvd S, La Crosse, WI, 54601 as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement. You can see a complete statement of all your funds transfers effected or pending at any time by clicking on the History tab.

We must hear from you within 60 days after we FIRST posted the transfer to your statement. (1) Tell us your name, and the account number of the Account to which the error relates. (2) Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is in error or why you need more information. (3) 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 we committed an error within 10 business days (20 business days for new member accounts) 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 for new member accounts) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit/debit the applicable Accounts within 10 business days (20 business days for new member accounts) for the amount you believe is in error, so that you or your intended Recipient will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.

If we ask you to put your question or complaint in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit/debit the applicable Accounts. We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that we did not make an error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation.

We are not responsible for errors, delays and other problems caused by or resulting from the action or inaction of financial institutions holding the Account or the account of your Recipient. Although we will try to assist you in resolving any such problems, you understand that any such errors, delays or other problems are the responsibility of the relevant financial institution or the Recipient. Any rights you may have against a financial institution for such errors, delays or other problems are subject to the terms of the agreements you have with such financial institution, including any time limits during which complaints must be made.
