Description of Online Banking Services
Transfers
Processing Transfer Requests
The completion of a transfer is subject to the availability of sufficient funds at the time of final
processing. If you do not have enough available funds, you may incur a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee.
Cut-off Times for Crediting of Transfers
The crediting of funds depends on the type of account you are transferring to and the daily cut-off time. Online Banking transfers to deposit accounts are immediately reflected in the account balance online. In order for transferred funds to be available to pay items that are processed against your account overnight (i.e. checks or direct debits), they must be entered before the cut-off time of 4:00 p.m. CST. To avoid possible NSF or overdraft fees, please be sure to make your transfers before the cut-off time.
Limitations and Dollar Amounts for Transfers and Payments
You authorize For Members Only Federal Credit Union to withdraw, debit or charge the necessary funds from your designated For Members Only Federal Credit Union account on the date on which you schedule the payment to begin processing or submit a transfer request. You agree that you will instruct us to make a withdrawal only when a sufficient balance is or will be available in your accounts at the time of the withdrawal. If you do not have a sufficient balance, including available credit under any overdraft protection plan, we may refuse to complete the transaction. In either case, we reserve the right to impose NSF, over-limit or similar fees, and no further attempt will be made by the Credit Union to issue the payment or process the transfer request. If your payment exceeds any of the limits stated above, it will not be processed. The Credit Union is under no obligation to notify you if it does not complete a payment or transfer because there are non-sufficient funds or credit in your account to process the transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for making alternate payment arrangements or rescheduling the payment through the service.
Cancelling Transfers
You cannot cancel your transfer after it has been entered in Online Banking and the information has
been transmitted to us.
Accounts Linked to Your Online Banking Services
When you first set up your Online ID, we will link all of your eligible accounts.
