To ensure security in your e-banking transactions and personal information, please be aware of the following guidance

Internet Products and Services

Secure Login ID and Password or PIN

  • Do not disclose Login ID and Password or PIN
  • Do not store Login ID and Password or PIN on the computer.
  • Regularly change password or PIN and avoid using easy-to-guess passwords such as names or birthdays. Password should be a combination of characters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers and should be at least six digits in length.

Keep personal information private.

  • Do not disclose personal information such as address, mother’s maiden name, telephone number, social security number, bank account number, or e-mail address.

Keep records of online transactions.

  • Regularly check transaction history details and statements to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions.
  • Review and reconcile monthly credit card and bank statements for any errors or unauthorized transactions promptly and thoroughly.
  • Check e-mail for contacts by merchants with whom one is doing business. Merchants may send important information about transaction histories.
  • Immediately notify the bank if there are unauthorized entries or transactions in the account.

Check for the right and secure website.

  • Before doing any online transactions or sending personal information, make sure that correct website has been accessed. Beware of bogus or “look alike” websites which are designed to deceive consumers.
  • Check if the website is “secure” by checking the Universal Resource Locators (URLs) which should begin with “https” and a closed padlock icon on the status bar in the browser is displayed. To confirm authenticity of the site, double-click on the lock icon to display a security certificate information of the site.
  • Always enter the URL of the website directly into the web browser. Avoid being re-directed to the website, or hyperlink to it from a website that may not be as secure.

Protect personal computer from hackers, viruses, and malicious programs.

  • Install a personal firewall and a reputable anti-virus program to protect personal computer from virus attacks or malicious programs.
  • Ensure that the anti-virus program is updated and runs at all times.
  • Always keep the operating system and the web browser updated with the latest security patches, in order to protect against weaknesses or vulnerabilities.
  • Always check with an updated anti-virus program when downloading a program or opening an attachment to ensure that it does not contain any virus.
  • Install updated scanner softwares to detect and eliminate malicious programs capable of capturing personal or financial information online.
  • Never download any file or software from sites or sources, which are not familiar or hyperlinks sent by strangers. Opening such files could expose the system to a computer virus that could hijack personal information, including password or PIN.
  • Cookies – A “cookie” is a small file that our website uses to enhance your online banking experience. No personal information or passwords are ever stored in this file. CNB Bank has a strict Privacy Policy that protects your personal information.
  • CNB Bank does not collect information about children under the age of 13, per the Children’s Online Privacy Act.

Do not leave computer unattended when logged-in.

  • Log-off from the internet banking site when computer is unattended, even if it is for a short while.
  • Always remember to log-off when e-banking transactions have been completed.
  • Clear the memory cache and transaction history after logging out from the website to remove account information. This would avoid incidents of the stored information being retrieved by unwanted parties.

Check the site’s privacy policy and disclosures.

  • Read and understand website disclosures specifically on refund, shipping, account debit/credit policies and other bank terms and conditions.
  • Before providing any personal financial information to a website, determine how the information will be used or shared with others.
  • Check the site’s statements about the security provided for the information divulged.
  • Some websites’ disclosures are easier to find than others — look at the bottom of the home page, on order forms or in the “About” or “FAQs” section of a site. If the customer is not comfortable with the policy, consider doing business elsewhere.

Other internet security measures:

  • Do not send any personal information particularly password, PIN, social security number, or account number via ordinary e-mail.
  • Do no open other browser windows while banking online.
  • Avoid using shared or public personal computers in conducting ebanking transactions.
  • Disable the “file and printer sharing” feature on the operating system if conducting banking transactions online.
  • Contact the banking institution to discuss security concerns and remedies to any online e-banking account issues.
Other Electronic Products

Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and debit cards

  • Use ATMs that are familiar or that are in well-lit locations where one feels comfortable. If the machine is poorly lit or is in a hidden area, use another ATM.
  • Have card ready before approaching the ATM. Avoid having to go through the wallet or purse to find the card.
  • Do not use ATMs that appear to have been tampered with or otherwise altered. Report such condition to the bank.
  • Memorize ATM personal identification number (PIN) and never disclose it with anyone. Do not keep those numbers or passwords in the wallet or purse. Never write them on the cards themselves. And avoid using easily available personal information like a birthday, nickname, mother’s maiden name or consecutive numbers.
  • Be mindful of “shoulder surfers” when using ATMs or POS terminals. Stand close to the ATM/POS and shield the keypad with hand when keying in the PIN and transaction amount.
  • Carefully secure card and cash in the wallet, handbag, or pocket before leaving the ATM or POS terminal.
  • Do not leave the receipt behind. Compare ATM receipts to monthly statement. It is the best way to guard against fraud and it makes record-keeping easier.
  • Do not let other people use your card. If card is lost or stolen, report the incident immediately to the bank.

Your Rights and Responsibilities

Indicated below are types of Electronic Fund Transfers we are capable of handling, some of which may not apply to your account. Please read this disclosure carefully because it tells you your rights and obligations for the transactions listed. You should keep this notice for future reference.

Electronic Fund Transfers Initiated By Third Parties. You may authorize a third party to initiate electronic fund transfers between your account and the third party’s account. These transfers to make or receive payment may be one-time occurrences or may recur as directed by you. These transfers may use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payments network. Your authorization to the third party to make these transfers can occur in a number of ways. For example, your authorization to convert a check to an electronic fund transfer or to electronically pay a returned check charge can occur when a merchant provides you with notice and you go forward with the transaction (typically, at the point of purchase, a merchant will post a sign and print the notice on a receipt). In all cases, these third party transfers will require you to provide the third party with your account number and bank information. This information can be found on your check as well as on a deposit or withdrawal slip. Thus, you should only provide your bank and account information (whether over the phone, the Internet, or via some other method) to trusted third parties whom you have authorized to initiate these electronic fund transfers. Examples of these transfers include, but are not limited to:

  • Preauthorized credits. You may make arrangements for certain direct deposits to be accepted into your checking or savings account(s).
  • Preauthorized payments. You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your checking or savings account(s).
  • Electronic check conversion. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills.
  • Electronic returned check charge. You may authorize a merchant or other payee to initiate an electronic funds transfer to collect a charge in the event a check is returned for insufficient funds.

Currency Conversion and International Transactions.

(a) For point-of-sale (merchant) transactions. When you use your VISA® DebitCard for this type of transaction and it settles in a currency other than US Dollars, the charge will be converted into the US Dollar amount. The currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in US Dollars is either 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. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or posting date.

Visa USA charges us a .8% International Service Assessment on all international transactions if there is no currency conversion. If there is a currency conversion, the International Service Assessment is 1% of the transaction. As a result, we will charge you a .8% international transaction fee on all international transactions if there is no currency conversion. If there is a currency conversion, we will charge you an international transaction fee of 1% of the transaction. An international transaction is a transaction where the country of the merchant is outside the USA.

(b) For ATM transactions. When you use your VISA® DebitCard for this type of transaction and it settles in a currency other than US Dollars, MasterCard/Cirrus will convert the charge into a US Dollar amount. The MasterCard/Cirrus currency conversion procedure includes use of either a government-mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate selected by MasterCard/Cirrus. The exchange rate MasterCard/Cirrus uses will be a rate in effect on the day the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of purchase or the date the transaction was posted to your account.

MasterCard/Cirrus charges us a Currency Conversion Assessment of 20 basis points (.2% of the transaction) for performing the currency conversion. In addition, MasterCard/Cirrus charges us an Issuer Cross-Border Assessment of 90 basis points (.9% of the transaction) on all cross-border transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. As a result, we will charge you a currency conversion fee of .2% of the transaction if there is a currency conversion and a cross-border transaction fee of .9% of the transaction. The cross-border transaction fee is charged on all cross-border transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. A cross-border transaction is a transaction processed through the Global Clearing Management System or the MasterCard Debit Switch in which the country of the merchant is different than the country of the cardholder.

Advisory Against Illegal Use. You agree not to use your card(s) for illegal gambling or other illegal purpose. Display of a payment card logo by, for example, an online merchant does not necessarily mean that transactions are lawful in all jurisdictions in which the cardholder may be located.

  • Preauthorized credits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at (575) 234-2500 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

    • We will charge you $25.00 for each stop-payment order you give.
  • Notice of varying amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.)
  • Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Financial Institution’s Liability

Liability for failure to make transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  • If you have an overdraft line and the transfer would go over the credit limit.
  • If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
  • If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

Confidentiality

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

  • where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
  • in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
  • in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  • as explained in the separate Privacy Disclosure.

Unauthorized Transfers

(a) Consumer liability.

• Generally. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. 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 tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or code without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, 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.

If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

• Additional Limit on Liability for VISA® DebitCard. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen VISA® DebitCard. This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions outside of the U.S., to ATM transactions not sent over Visa or Plus networks, or to transactions using your Personal Identification Number which are not processed by VISA®. Visa is a registered trademark of Visa International Service Association.

(b) Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure. You should also call the number or write to the address listed in this brochure if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

Error Resolution Notice

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, Call or Write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  • Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  • Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  • 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 an error occurred within 10 business days (5 business days for VISA DebitCard point-of-sale transactions processed by Visa and 20 business 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 business days (5 business days for VISA DebitCard point-of-sale transactions processed by Visa and 20 business 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 business days, we may not credit your account. 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 tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.

You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
