Personal Account Application Disclosures    

 

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE

YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS AT CENTURY BANK AND TRUST. Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. However, funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and/or we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. We have different deposit cut-off hours for different locations. Our earliest cut-off hour is 4:30 p.m. If you make a deposit before our cut-off hour on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after our cut-off hour or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Reservation of Right to Hold. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first $100.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day. If we are not going to make all the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the business day after we receive your deposit. If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

Longer Delays May Apply . We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons:
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000.00 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.

Holds On Other Funds. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Deposits at Automated Teller Machines. Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate. All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new customer the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open:
Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposit of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000.00 of a day's total deposit of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the check meets certain conditions. For example the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,000.00 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000.00 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from deposits of checks drawn on Century Bank & Trust will be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other checks will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT

This brochure contains the rules, which govern, where appropriate, your deposit account(s) with us. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used in this brochure should be construed so that the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. Please read this brochure carefully; continued use of your account with us after receipt of this brochure means you agree to these rules, you agree to pay the fees listed, and you give us the right to collect the fees, as earned, directly from the account balance. If you have any questions, please call us.

Much of our relationship with our deposit customers is regulated by state and federal law, especially the law relating to negotiable instruments, the law regulating the methods of transferring property upon death and the rights of surviving spouses and dependents, and the law pertaining to estate and other succession taxes, the law regarding electronic funds transfer, and the law regarding the availability of deposited funds. This body of law is too large and complex to be reproduced here.

The purpose of this brochure is to:

1.) summarize the rules applicable to the more common transaction;
2.) establish rules to govern transactions or circumstances which the law does not regulate; and
3.) establish rules for certain events or transactions, which the law already regulates but permits variation by agreement.

We may permit some variations from this standard agreement, but any such variations must be agreed to in writing either on our signature card for the account or in some other written form.

As used in this brochure, the word "we" means the financial institution and the word "you" means the account holder.

DEPOSITS - Any non-cash items deposited to this account (including items drawn "on us") will be given provisional credit only until collection of the item is final. We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository until we actually record them. All transactions received after our "daily cut-off time" on a business day we are open, or received on a day in which we are not open for business, will be treated and recorded as if initiated on the next following business day that we are open.

WITHDRAWALS - GENERALLY - Unless clearly indicated to the contrary, any one of you who signs in the space designated for Signatures on the signature card may withdraw or transfer all or any part of the account balance at any time. Each of you (until we receive written notice to the contrary) authorizes each other person signing the signature card to endorse any other transaction with us.

We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal or transfer request which is attempted by any method not specifically permitted, which is greater in number than the frequency permitted, or which is for an amount less than any minimum withdrawal denominations. Even if we honor a non-conforming request, repeated abuse of the stated limitations (if any) may eventually force us to close your account. We will use the date a transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the date you initiate it) to apply the frequency limitations. Withdrawals will first be made from collected funds, and we may, unless prohibited by law, or our policy set forth in this brochure, refuse any withdrawal request against uncollected funds even if our general practice is to the contrary.

We reserve the right to require written notice of an intended withdrawal as allowed by Federal Regulation. If we exercise our right to require written notice, we will apply that requirement equally to all depositors that maintain the same type of account.

LIABILITY - Each of you agrees, for yourself (and the person or entity you represent if you sign as representative of another) to the terms of this account and the schedule of charges that may be imposed. You authorize us to deduct these charges directly form the account balance as accrued. You also agree to pay such additional reasonable charges we may impose for services you request which are not contemplated by this agreement. Each of you also agrees to be jointly and severally liable for any account deficit resulting from charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another authorized to withdraw from this account, together with the costs we incur to collect the deficit including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys' fees.

TRUST ACCOUNTS - Except as such an account may be varied by a separate agreement: (1) the person opening a Trust Account (called the "settler") may withdraw all or any portion of the account balance during his lifetime; (2) any named beneficiary who does not sign the signature card acquires the right to withdraw from the account only if and when he survives the settler; and (3) if more than one beneficiary is named and survives, the interest of such surviving beneficiaries shall be in equal shares and without survivorship between them.

JOINT ACCOUNTS - WITH SURVIVORSHIP - If such an account is indicated on our signature card, each joint tenant intends and agrees that the account balance upon his death shall be the property of the surviving joint tenant, and if more than one survives, they shall remain as joint tenants with right of survivorship between them.

ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS - We will usually require a separate authorization form designating the person(s) permitted and conditions required for withdrawal from any account in the name of a legal entity such as a partnership, corporation, or other organization. We will honor such authorization according to its terms until it is amended or terminated in writing by the governing body of such organization.

STOP-PAYMENTS - To be effective, a stop payment order must be received in time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it, and must precisely identify the number, date and amount of the item, and the payee. We will honor a stop-payment request by the person who signed the particular item, and, by any other person, even though such other person did not sign the item, if such other person has an equal or greater right to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item in question. A release of the stop-payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop-payment.

CHECKS PRESENTED AGAINST INSUFFICIENT FUNDS - Checks presented against insufficient balances are paid in the following order - first, any check cashed by a Century Bank and Trust teller; second, a check used to pay on indebtedness to Century Bank and Trust. Thereafter, a selection permitting the return of the fewest number of checks. A service charge is assessed for each check returned or paid.

The depositor agrees to honor any post-dated check or draft that is presented and accepted for payment before the date of the instrument.

TELEPHONE TRANSFER - A transfer of funds from this account to another account with us, by telephone, if otherwise permitted or arranged for, may be made by the same persons and under the same conditions generally applicable to withdrawals made in writing. Other account transfer restrictions may apply.

AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION - We may amend any term of this agreement, from time to time hereafter, upon giving reasonable notice to you. Reasonable notice may consist of posting notice of such changes in our building for a reasonable period of time, enclosing notice in the statement of this account, or separate notice by mail. We may also close this account at any time upon reasonable notice to you and tender of the account balance personally or by mail. Notice from us to any one of you is notice to all of you.

STATEMENTS - If you do not notify us of an unauthorized signature or alteration within a reasonable time (not to exceed 14 days) after we send or make available to you your statement and items: (1) you cannot assert the unauthorized signature or alteration against us, even if we are unable to show a loss due to your failure and, (2) you cannot assert any unauthorized signatures or alterations by the same wrongdoer on items paid by us after the reasonable time mentioned above elapses, but before we receive your notice. We lose these protections if we fail to exercise ordinary care in paying an item with an unauthorized signature or alteration, unless you do not notify us of the problem within 60 days of when we send or make available to you the statement and items. You must also report any other account problem (e.g. erroneous statement or passbook entry, missing signature, unauthorized endorsement, etc.) within this 60-day period or lose your right to assert the problem against us.

ACCOUNT TRANSFER - This account may not be transferred or assigned without our prior written consent.

GARNISHMENTS - All accounts are subject to garnishment and if a court order is served to us, the account will be charged up to the amount of the garnishment order plus our normal collection fee and held for further instructions by the court.

ABANDONED ACCOUNTS - Accounts at all financial institutions are subject to State of Michigan Escheat Laws . Accounts wherein there has been no activity initiated by the depositor for seven years may be escheated to the State of Michigan, if we are unsuccessful in contacting the depositor(s). The depositor(s) is responsible for alerting us of his current address and should report to us if statements and interest checks are not received.

SERVICE CHARGE - There may be service charges levied by us on all accounts, demand, time and savings, including without limitation charges for the following:
Stop payments or renewals thereof
  • Returned items
  • Account maintenance
  • Account activity
  • Below minimum balance requirements
  • Electronic transactions.

Current schedules of these charges as adjusted from time to time are available from any Customer Service Representative.

DIRECT DEPOSITS - If in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in this account which should have been returned to the Federal Government for any reason, you authorized us to deduct the amount of our liability to the Federal Government from this account or from any other account you have with us, without prior notice and at any time, except as prohibited by law. We may also use any other legal remedy to recover the amount of our liability.

SET-OFF - You agree that we may (without prior notice and when permitted by law) set-off the funds in this account against any due and payable debt owed to us now or in the future, by any of you having the right of withdrawal, to the extent of such persons' legal entity's right to withdraw. This right of set-off does not apply to this account if: (a) it is an IRA or a tax-deferred retirement account; or (b) the debt is created by a consumer credit transaction under a credit card plan; or (c) the debtor's right of withdrawal only arises in a representative capacity.
