These updates are reflective of the new Online Banking platform. This document can be viewed, saved, or printed. To save this document, right click, select Save As, and save to a file on your computer. To print this document, right click and select Print.

 

By agreeing to this Online Banking Agreement & Electronic Consent disclosure, you affirmatively acknowledge receipt of this Agreement and authorize LGE Community Credit Union (“Credit Union”), (“us”), (“we”), to conduct business and provide certain disclosures to you (“your”), (“User”) electronically. The words "we," "us," and "our" mean LGE Community Credit Union. The word "account" means any accounts you have with the Credit Union.

 

 

This Agreement informs you of your rights when receiving legally required disclosures, notices, and information ("Disclosures") from the Credit Union. If you authorize or have already authorized another person to access your account through LGE Online Banking (“Services”), you agree and authorize the same to receive your electronic communication. Download or print this document now and retain a copy of this agreement for your records. By using the Services, you agree to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement. This agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of your Credit Union Commercial Account Agreement, as amended from time to time and are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

 

 

Scope of Communications to Be Provided in Electronic Form: You agree that we may provide you with any communications relating to your Account in electronic format. We will therefore discontinue to send you paper-based communications, unless and until you withdraw your consent as described below. Your consent to receive electronic communications and transactions includes, but is not limited to:

 

  • Initial disclosures, schedules or agreements for your account or associated payment features
  • Periodic disclosures or monthly billing statements for your account
  • Notices, schedules or disclosures regarding a change in terms of your account or associated payment features
  • Privacy Policy and Notices

 

Usage: If we grant you access for the Services, you will need a computer to access your accounts. You are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and operation of any software or hardware. LGE Community Credit Union will not be responsible for any errors or failures caused by or related to telephone service, Internet service, hardware, or software. We assume no responsibility for any loss arising from incomplete information or for any temporary interruption in our information system. We make no warranty, express or implied, in law or in fact, including but not limited to any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose or of merchantability, with respect to the services, or any computer programs, apps, equipment or software made available to you.

 

 

All specifications, records, software, forms, systems, security procedures, and programs utilized or developed by us in connection with this Agreement constitute confidential, proprietary property and must be returned to us upon request. All Primary and Joint Account owners are authorized to use Services, unless noted or restricted by local or federal regulations.

 

 

Password Protection: Access Online Banking using your User ID and Password. Upon first login you must change your password. Changing your password in Online Banking has no effect on your PIN used for Memberline, ATMs, or point-of-sale devices. We identify you by your unique User ID and Password. Transactions initiated by using your User ID and Password will be considered as having been authorized by you and your use of your account number and password constitutes your legal permission and signature to perform the transaction(s) you request, as allowed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.

 

 

You agree not to give or make available your password for any Credit Union electronic service to unauthorized individuals.  If you believe that your password has been lost or stolen, or that someone may attempt to access your account without your permission through Online Banking, Mobile Banking, or any other electronic device, you agree and are responsible to contact us immediately. You also agree to change your login information, to deny a third party’s access to your banking information. 

 

If you authorize another person to use your login information for electronic access to your account(s), that person can use a credit union service to perform any function that you may perform. Use of your login information by you or by any other person with your authorization will be considered the same as your written signature authorizing us to complete any transaction or request communicated through the service.

 

Liability for Unauthorized Access: You are responsible for all transfers you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use the Online Banking service, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your login information or accessed your accounts through Online Banking service without your authorization.

 

 

If you believe that someone has used your login information or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call the Credit Union at: 770-424-0060 or 800-541-8921 or write the Credit Union at: LGE Community Credit Union, P.O. Box 1188, Marietta, GA 30061.

 

Availability: Services are accessible seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. If we schedule downtime for maintenance, we will notify as warranted. We will attempt to post notices in case of unscheduled downtime but circumstances may prevent such notice. 

 

Alerts: By accepting this agreement, you recognize that Online Banking Alerts relative to your accounts are provided as an informational courtesy only. Online Banking Alerts are not provided as a real time mechanism to aid you in maintaining your account. Any fees incurred as a result of solely relying upon the alerts system for an updated account status are the responsibility of the account owner(s).

 

Transactions: Transactions you perform via the Services will be reflected on your monthly statement. If you agree to receive eStatements and need a printed copy of your statement, contact us with the contact information listed at the end of this agreement.
