This Online Banking Agreement (“Agreement”) for accessing your Texas National Bank account(s) via the Internet explains the terms and conditions governing Texas National Bank TNBOnline Banking and other banking services offered through Texas National Bank (collectively, “Online Banking” or “TNB Online Banking”). By using Online Banking you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with federal law and regulation, and to the extent there is no applicable federal law or regulation, by the laws of the State of Texas. The terms “our”, “we”, “us”, “Texas National Bank”, and “Bank” refer to Texas National Bank. “You” refers to each signer on an account. The term “business day” means Monday through Friday, excluding Federal banking holidays.
Online Banking can be used to access products and accounts made available by Texas National Bank. Each of your accounts is also governed by the applicable account disclosure statement.
WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT FOR TWO SIGNATURES: Principles recognize that any requirement of verifying two signatures on checks, if such a requirement exists, does not apply to electronic or telephone transfers, including Online bill payments, and release Bank from liability when making such transfers or payments. This means that any person who is authorized to act as a signer on your account shall be authorized by you to individually make electronic or telephonic transfers, including Online bill payments from your account, even though that person’s authority to transfer or withdraw funds from your account by some other means (e.g., by check) must be exercised jointly with one or more other persons.
Notify us at once if you believe another person has improperly obtained your TNBOnline Banking password. Also notify us if someone has transferred or you think someone may transfer money from your account without your permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account. To notify us, call Texas National Bank at (903) 586-0931, or write to:
Texas National Bank
Customer Service
300 Neches St.
P.O. Box 710
Jacksonville, TX 75766
A. Your Liability
If your TNBOnline Banking password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) business days after learning of the loss or theft you can lose up to $50 of the disputed amount, if someone used your password without your permission to access a Texas National Bank deposit account. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, and we could have stopped someone from taking money without your permission had you told us, you could lose as much as $500 of the disputed amount. If your monthly statement shows withdrawals, transfers or purchases that you did not make or authorize, you must notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the account transaction detail information was transmitted or mailed to you, and we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days. If there are extenuating circumstances that kept you from telling us, the time periods in this section may be extended.
B. Preventing Misuse
It is extremely important that you take an active role in the prevention of any wrongful use of your account. If you find that your records do not agree with ours, you must immediately call Texas National Bank at (903) 586-0931. Protect Your Password - The password that is used to gain access to TNBOnline Banking should be kept confidential at all times. For your protection we recommend that you change your password regularly. It is recommended that you memorize this password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential.

A. Rights and Procedures to StopPayment by Check
You may issue a stop payment against any check number or range of check numbers. The stop payment will be effective for six (6) months from the date it is created.

If you request the stop payment by telephone, we may also require you to put your request in writing and submit it to us within 14 days after you call. If we ask for a written request but are not provided it within the 14 day period, the stop payment may be released. We will charge you our regular stop payment fee for each stop payment order you give; this fee will be charged in accordance with the current fee schedule. Do not write or e-mail these requests to us since they may not be received by us in time.

A. Balance Inquiries and Transfers
You may use TNBOnline Banking to check the balance of your accounts and to transfer funds among each of your eligible accounts.

The balance shown also may differ from your records because it may not include deposits in progress, outstanding checks, other withdrawals, or charges. Funds transfer requests may be made 24 hours per day, but those initiated during nightly processing may not result in immediate funds availability until after nightly processing has concluded. When a transfer is attempted during this period of time, the service should suggest you check later to determine whether the transfer actually occurred. If there are insufficient available funds in the account from which you are requesting a transfer, the transfer will not be initiated. For monetary transfers, you must have some form of ownership on the accounts.
B. Statements
All of your payments and funds transfers will appear on your monthly account statement(s).

We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the First statement in which the problem or error appeared.
We will investigate whether an error occurred within 10 banking days (5 banking days for Visa-branded card point-of-sale transactions and 20 banking days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 banking days (5 banking days for Visa-branded card point-of-sale transactions and 20 banking days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 banking days, we may not credit your account as described above.
Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened. We will inform you of the results within 3 banking days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and reverse the credit described above. You may ask for copies of the documents that support our investigation.
