Services
You authorize Us to utilize IntegraSys to provide
the Services to You on Our behalf.
You may use the On-Line Branch Home Banking to access service to:
- Transfer funds from and to Your share and share draft accounts.
- Obtain balance information for Your share, share draft, and
loan accounts.
- Make loan payments from Your share and share draft accounts.
Your accounts can be accessed under the On-Line Branch electronic/PC
access service via personal computer. On-Line Branch service will
be available for Your convenience twenty-four (24) hours per day.
This service may be interrupted for a short time each day for data
processing. We reserve the right to refuse any transaction which
would draw upon insufficient funds, exceed a credit limit, lower
an account below a required balance, or otherwise require Us to
increase Our required reserve on the account. We may set other
limits on the amount of any transaction, and You will be notified
of those limits. We may refuse to honor any transaction for which
You do not have sufficient available verified funds.
Funds will arrive at Your targeted Account as close as reasonably
possible to the date designated by You in Your payment and/or transfer
instruction. 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 and/or transfer,
including, without limitation, electronic, paper or some other draft
means. For each properly instructed transfer to a targeted Account
You will receive a transaction confirmation number (Confirmation
Number).
Transfer Limitations For all share accounts, no more
than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephone transfers, fax,
personal computer and withdrawals may be made from these accounts
to another account of Yours or to a third party in any month, and
no more than three (3) of these six (6) may be made by check, draft,
or access card to a third party. If You exceed these limitations,
Your account may be subject to a fee or be closed.
Care of Your Security Code and Security You agree
that You will not give Your Security Code or make it available to
any other person. You are responsible for safekeeping Your Security
Codes. You understand that any joint owner You authorize to use
Your Security Code may transfer funds from any of Your accounts.
If You fail to maintain the security of these Security Codes and
the Credit Union suffers a loss, We may terminate Your EFT services
immediately. If You believe that Your Security Code has been lost
or stolen, or that someone has made payments and/or transfers using
Your Security Code without Your permission, notify Us IMMEDIATELY
by phone any time during Member Service hours or send an electronic
message through the Service.
Payment Cancellation/Modification Except for those
transfers that are completed immediately, You may cancel or modify
a payment and/or transfer up to 7:00 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time (HST)
the same Business Day You schedule for payment and/or transfer.
Member Liability You are responsible for any
transactions You authorize. If You permit someone else to use Your
Security Code, You are responsible for any transactions they authorize
or conduct on any of Your accounts.
Tell Us AT ONCE if You believe Your Security Code has been lost
or stolen or if You believe someone has used Your Security Code
or otherwise accessed Your accounts without Your authority. 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 were grossly negligent in the handling of
Your account, Your liability for an unauthorized transaction is
determined as follows.
If You tell Us within two (2) business days You can lose no more
than $50 if someone used Your Security Code without Your permission.
If You do NOT tell Us within two (2) business days after You learn
of the loss or theft, and We can prove We could have stopped someone
from using Your Card without Your permission if You had told Us,
You could lose as much as $500.00
Also, if Your statement shows transfers that You did not make,
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
lost after the sixty (60) days if We can prove that We could have
stopped someone from making the transfers if You had told Us in
time. If a good reason (such as hospital stay) kept You from telling
Us, We will extend the time periods. If You believe that someone
has transferred or may transfer money from Your account without
Your permission, call:
(808) 935-9778
Fax: (808) 934-7572
or write to:

You make the first deposit to Your account, notice of an error involving
a point of sale transaction, or notice of an error involving a transaction
initiated outside the U.S. its possessions and territories, We will
