Application Process

You must complete the initial application process in order to utilize Internet Banking. This involves completing an application at any of our locations or completing a secure online application.

Log-On Security

Security is very important to the Internet Banking system. At the time you request the service, you will be issued a unique "User ID" and a temporary "Password". Upon your initial login, you will be prompted to change the assigned temporary "Password" to an alpha-numeric one of your choice that will then be used to gain access into the system.

You should carefully select an alpha-numeric password that is hard to guess. Because your password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. Keep your password safe. Memorize your password and never tell it to anyone. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD OCCASIONALLY, SUCH AS EVERY NINETY (90) DAYS. THIS CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME AFTER YOU LOG ON FROM THE "OPTIONS" MENU.

In addition, to secure the authenticity of your User ID and Password, Lone Star National Bank has developed an innovative solution to protecting your identity in order to reassure an end-to-end secure online session. Upon your initial login after your Password change you will be required to select a watermark feature, set up a series of questions and answers and select a primary and secondary contact number.

To help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for ten (10) minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you have logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your User ID and Password in order to regain access into the system. To help secure the authenticity of your assigned User ID, if at any time it remains inactive during a duration of (90) ninety days it will be determined dormant; after (180) one hundred-eighty days of inactivity it will be deleted from the system. You will then be required to re-apply to receive a new User ID in order to utilize the Internet Banking service. (Please refer to the BillPay Service section below for scheduled payments).

Accounts

You will have the option to tie any account of which you are a signer or owner to Internet Banking. You will be able to utilize the service to initiate payments or transfers from any of such tied accounts only if you have the required withdrawal authority over the account to be able to complete the transaction. By using Internet Banking, you agree to maintain one or more accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in any account to cover any transactions and fees that are ultimately approved by or related to the system. If the accounts tied to Internet Banking are jointly held or have multiple signers, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your User ID and Password are authorized unless we have been notified to cancel Internet Banking in accordance with the Termination section of this Agreement.

Fees for Internet Banking

Internet Banking, including balance inquiries, funds transfers and BillPay, is available to our existing personal and commercial account customers at no additional monthly charge; provided, however, that the fees and service charges provided for in your deposit, line of credit, loan, and other agreements with us, as described in our Schedule of Fees and Charges, may also apply to services (such as stop payment requests and check reorders) ordered online.

Balance Inquiries and Funds Transfer Services

You may use Internet Banking to check the balance of your accounts and to transfer funds among your accounts. Transfers may be limited in amount as provided in our agreements with you governing these services or in accordance with our bank policies. In addition, your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited to Federal law, as stated in your deposit agreements with us. For example, you can make no more than six (6) electronic transfers from a savings account during each statement period. Transfers made using both Internet Banking and other transfer methods described in your deposit agreements with us are counted against the permissible number of transfers. We reserve the right to further limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from your accounts for security or credit reasons, as we may determine at any time at our sole discretion. Please refer to the Definitions section of this Agreement for account transfer cut-off times.

Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. If you have further questions, contact your Internet Banking Administrator at (800)580-0322 extension 2440.

The balances are updated periodically and the system will display the most current "as of" date on the "accounts" summary page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The system will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to determine if a transaction may be approved.

BillPay Service

It is easy to pay bills online through our BillPay service, which is an electronic payment system that permits you to initiate and authorize certain payments from your accounts that are tied to the Internet Banking system. The BillPay service will also allow you to see a history of all the payments made from your accounts.

We are able to process payments in United States Dollars to payees that have a US Postal address. We allow you to set up your payees by choosing from a large database of regional or national vendors (payees) that we have prepared. Subject to our and the payee's approval, you will also be able to set up a payment to a payee that is not in the database by entering the necessary information about the payee; provided, however, that you agree not to use BillPay to pay payees to whom you are obligated for tax payments, to settle securities transactions or to make payments made pursuant to court orders or fines.

You have the option of setting up a payment to occur on demand (one-time) or on a recurring frequency. Recurring payments are payments of a fixed amount that are paid at a regular time interval, such as monthly; on demand (one-time) payments are payments that vary in amount and/or date. If you use the BillPay service to authorize automated recurring payments, such payments must be for the same amount each month, and they will be sent on the same calendar day of each month or on the following business day if the regular payment day does not fall on a business day. After you have established an on demand payment or recurring payment, we will automatically execute bill payments according to your instructions until you have properly notified us, in accordance with our procedures in effect at the time, of any cancellation of your instructions. When you have entered and transmitted payment instructions, you authorize us to withdraw funds from your account accordingly.

The daily limit for the total dollars of payments approved is governed by the system's available balance in the checking account selected for making the payment. You can withdraw up to the system's available balance as long as your account shows sufficient funds to cover your payments. (Refer to the Balance Inquiries and Funds Transfer Services section of this Agreement for additional information.) The payment will normally be charged to your account on the business day that it is received and processed by the payee.

Payments made with BillPay utilize the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network, an electronic funds transfer system organized by the United States Treasury under Federal law and managed by the operating rules and guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). While the ACH network provides an efficient method of clearing electronic payments, it is not an instantaneous clearing method. Certain holds on funds occur with respect to ACH network processing. Please contact your Internet Banking Administrator if you have any questions regarding the BillPay Service or the ACH network.

If for any reason a scheduled payment processed through the system is declined, it will automatically be rescheduled for the following business day. The system will continue to attempt to pay the bill on the following business days until there are sufficient funds or you cancel or reschedule it.

Payments may be scheduled for the current business day or any business day in the future. All payments will be processed twice on each business day starting at 12:00PM and again at 2:00AM. Anything scheduled on a non-business day, or after the 2:00AM processing time, will not be sent out until the following business day. Please be advised that the payee may not process a payment on the business day that it is received.

It is your responsibility to authorize your bill payments in such a manner that your bills are paid on time. When scheduling payments, you should take into account delays that are inherent in processing and sending bill payments. If the payee is to be paid by paper check, you understand and agree that the check is mailed to the payee and may not be received by the payee until seven (7) to ten (10) business days or more. If the payee is to be paid electronically, you understand and agree that the payee may not receive the payment until three (3) to five (5) business days or more. You understand and agree that further delays may be caused by the failure of the payee to process a payment on the business day that it is received. (Any delays caused by the payee/vendor would result in additional days before the payment would show on their records.) By using the BillPay service, you authorize Lone Star National Bank and any third party processing agent that we may select to use any payment method (electronic or paper) we choose to process each of your payments. You are responsible for any late payment or finance charge that may be imposed as a result of your failure to schedule payments or transmit payment instructions in a timely manner. Lone Star National Bank will not be responsible for the disengagement of your User ID due to system inactivity on your behalf. You are required to activate your User ID within the (90) ninety day period, in which the User ID must be validated for all prearranged or scheduled payments to remain valid for processing. Failure to do so will result in the merchant receiving non payment. (Refer to Log-On Security Section above).

To cancel a bill payment that you have scheduled, you must cancel the payment online the day the payment was created or scheduled provided that the payment is within the processing times noted above in this Agreement. You may also contact our Internet Banking Department at (800) 580-0322 ext. 2440.

The BillPay service is an optional service for checking accounts. You must specifically request to have this service removed.

Other Services

Through the Internet Banking system, you may submit a request to stop a payment on a check you have written, reorder checks, change your address or to order certain documents. The system provides you several means by which you can securely forward your request for such services to us for processing. Generally, requests received from the system will be processed within one (1) business day using procedures that would handle similar requests received by mail or fax. If urgent action is required, we recommend that you contact Lone Star National Bank directly by telephone or in person. There may be additional fees associated with some of these services.

Additional terms of acceptance or disclosures may apply on the Stop Payment service and these terms will be disclosed at the time you complete the request. The Stop Payment service is not available to cancel any electronic payments scheduled through the BillPay service.

Our Liability for Incomplete Transactions

We will process all bill payments properly initiated through the Internet Banking system in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that we reserve the right to refuse to honor payment requests that reasonably appear to us to be fraudulent. We will be responsible for your actual losses if they were directly caused by our failure to complete a bill payment or transfer to or from your accounts on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance, if any of the following occurs:

  1. Funds are not showing on the system's available balance in your account that is to pay for the bill or transfer at the time of transaction.
  2. Funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the payment or transfer.
  3. You had knowledge of or questions about the possible malfunction of the system when you initiated the transaction.
  4. Any information provided by you is incorrect or incomplete or you did not follow our instructions for the BillPay service.
  5. There are any delays in the handling of the payment by the payees.
  6. Natural disasters (fire, flood, tornado, etc.) or other uncontrollable circumstances (mail delays, power failures, war, acts of terrorism, etc.) prevented proper completion and delivery of transactions.
  7. Other applicable laws and/or regulations exempt us from liability.
  8. It can be shown that the merchant or payee received the payment within the normal delivery time frame and failed to process the payment through no fault of Internet Banking or our service providers, servicing agents and contractors involved in the provision of Internet Banking.
  9. It can be shown that the delay was caused by unusual mailing delays by the US Post Office.

Overdrafts; Order of Payments

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have enough money or credit available in an account from which you instruct Internet Banking or BillPay to make a payment or transfer. If funds are withdrawn from any of your accounts by means of electronic fund transfers, other than through Internet Banking on same business day as an Internet Banking transaction, and if such account contains insufficient funds to enable both the electronic funds transfer and the Internet Banking transfer to be made, the transfers will be made in the order determined by us, in our sole discretion. You are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any payments or transfers you make or authorize to be made. If we complete a payment or transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction, you agree to reimburse us upon our demand, and you further agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other deposit accounts you have with us to the extent permitted by the applicable law and the terms of any other relevant agreements.

Unauthorized Transactions, Errors and Questions

You are responsible for all transfers and bill payments you authorize using Internet Banking services. If you permit other persons to use your User ID and Password, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize from your deposit and credit accounts.

If you discover that your User ID and Password have been compromised, lost, stolen or used without your authorization, notify us immediately. Telephoning our Internet Banking Department at (800) 580-0322 extension 2440 is the best way of limiting your possible loss. If we are notified within two (2) business days after you discover that your User ID and; Password have been compromised, lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used it without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days, and we,.,; can prove we could have prevented someone from using the User ID and Password without; your permission, you could lose as much as $500 from each deposit account.

If your statement shows unauthorized transactions or errors, or if you have questions about a transaction on your statement, you must write us a letter no later than sixty (60) days after we sent you the first statement on which the unauthorized transaction or error appeared. If you do not tell us in writing about unauthorized transactions or errors within sixty (60) days after such statement is mailed to you, you may not get back any money that you lose after the sixty (60) day period if we can prove that, if you had told us about the unauthorized transactions or errors within such sixty (60) day period, we could have stopped someone from taking the money. If your User ID and Password were involved in the unauthorized transaction that appears on your statement, you may also be liable for the amounts set forth in the preceding paragraph.

If we choose to take up to ninety (90) business days to investigate, we will give you a provisional credit to your account within twenty (20) business days.

Internet Security Information

Lone Star National Bank's Internet Banking system is part of the Jack Henry and Associates Inc. Network that utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In-depth information on many of the techniques and features employed by the system can be viewed or printed from our website where the system's consumer or commercial features are explained under "Security." In addition to our log-on security, we use the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do in the Internet Banking system. This technology is automatically activated by your browser when it attempts to connect to our system and will support 128-bit key lengths. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet. In addition, our servers have been certified by a "Certificate Authority" that will assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone pretending to be us. (If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 7.0 on Netscape or Internet Explorer, the "Certificate Authorities" key may be expired and you may need to update it on your browser. You can obtain instructions on how to do this by clicking on the Test Browser icon located on the Internet Banking system login page.)

During your use of the Internet Banking system, we will pass a "cookie" to your browser for identifying you during the session. We do not (and cannot) use our cookies to obtain new information about you. A "cookie" is security data that is given to a browser by a web server that is returned by the browser on subsequent transmissions to identify the user and encryption information. When you log onto the system, this cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without you having to provide your User ID and Password for each individual transaction. When you log off, or after ten (10) minutes, the cookie is no longer accepted and must be renewed by requiring the User ID and Password to be re-entered. A new cookie is used for each session. That way, no one can use the cookie to access your account.

In addition to the security measures described above, there may be other security notices posted on the website regarding security issues. It is your responsibility to read all applicable notices. One of the main security features guarding the use of the Internet Banking system is the unique combination of your User ID and Password. It is important that you keep your password secret. We will not be liable for any losses resulting from your permitting other persons to use your User ID and Password to access the system.

If you have more questions about our security systems for conducting transactions safely over the Internet, contact our Internet Banking Department at (800) 580-0322 extension 2440.
