We are not responsible for any errors, failures, or malfunctions of your computer or software, or for any computer virus or related problems that may occur with your use of this Service. You are responsible for ensuring that your computer and software are compatible with our system. We reserve the right to change our system requirements from time to time. Note: some browser software may store user names and security codes to facilitate the future use of a website. For security reasons, you agree to disable this feature in your browser. Check your browser’s “Help” screen for more information on this feature.
  • You shall at all times comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with your use of the Service. You shall not use the Service for any activities in violation of any laws or regulations, including without limitation, wrongful transmission of copyrighted material, sending of threatening or obscene materials, or misappropriation or exportation of trade or national secrets. You shall have sole responsibility and liability related to your access to the Internet and any browsers, computers, devices or other such technologies used to access the Internet and the Service, and Bank assumes no liability or control over such Internet access or technologies. You shall use the Service in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreement, and any other applicable terms and conditions.
  1. Security Procedure. We may provide you with one or more identification numbers, passwords and/or other means of identification and authentication (collectively “Password”) to access the Service. We also may provide you with operating instructions in connection with the Service. You agree to: (a) comply with the operating instructions; (b) take reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the Password; (c) never disclose your Password to others; (d) notify us immediately if you have any reason to believe the security or confidentiality required by this provision has been or may be breached; and (e) immediately change your Password if you know or suspect that the confidentiality of the Password has been compromised in any way.
  • For security reasons, we may disable your Password if it is entered incorrectly several times. We may act on any Service instruction that is accompanied by your Password. Our security procedures are not designed for the detection of errors (e.g., duplicate transfers or errors in information you provide to us). We will not be obligated to detect errors made by you, even if we take certain actions from time to time to do so.
  • We may elect, at our discretion, to verify the authenticity or content of any transmission by placing a call to any owner or authorized signer on your account. We may deny access to the Service without prior notice if we are unable to confirm to our satisfaction any person’s authority to access the Service or if we believe such action is necessary for security reasons. If your account is not primarily for personal, family or household purposes, you agree to be responsible for any instruction or transaction we receive through the Service, even if it is not authorized by you, provided it includes your Password or is otherwise processed by us in accordance with this security procedure. Each time you transmit instructions to us, you warrant that our security procedures are commercially reasonable (based on the normal size, type, and frequency of your transactions).
  • Note: If you believe someone has or may attempt to use your Password or conduct a Service transaction in an unauthorized manner, contact us promptly at 1-877-770-BANC (2262). No Bank employee, or any company affiliated with the Bank, will contact you via e-mail or phone requesting your account or security information. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately.
  1. Sharing Information. We may share certain personal information and device-identifying technical data about you and your devices with third party service providers who will compare and add device data and fraud data from and about you and your devices to a database of similar device and fraud information in order to provide fraud management and prevention services and identify and block access to the applicable service or website by devices associated with fraudulent or abusive activity. Such information may be used by us and our third party service providers to provide similar fraud management and prevention services for services or websites not provided by us.
  1. Account Information. You can use this element of the Service to obtain balance and other account information online, seven days a week, except when the system is unavailable for maintenance or other reasons. Since certain information and transactions are not processed by us until after the close of our “Business Day” (as that term is defined in Section 30 below), some transactions may not be reflected in the system until the next Business Day. Posted items may be reversed due to insufficient funds, orders, legal process, or other reasons. Certain balances also may not be subject to immediate withdrawal. We assume no responsibility for any loss arising from incomplete information or for any temporary interruption in this element of the Service.
  1. Transfers. You can use this element of the Service to transfer funds between your eligible Accounts with us. (For example, transfers cannot be made from time deposit Accounts.) Transfers between your deposit Accounts with us are subject to the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. Although you may instruct our online system to make transfers between your Accounts at any time on any day, transfers occurring after our Service cutoff hour of 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Business Days, or on non-Business Days, may not be posted until the next Business Day. Different rules regarding the Service cutoff hour may apply to Zelle® transfers, see Section 23 below.
  1. Stop Payment Orders. You can use the Service to place a stop payment order on a check that you have written against your Account. To stop payment on a check, you must provide us with timely, complete and accurate information regarding: the number of the Account in question; the date of the item; the item number; the payee information; the EXACT amount of the item (dollars and cents); and/or any other information requested by the Service. If any information is untimely, incomplete or incorrect, we will not be responsible for failing to stop payment on the check at issue. In order to be effective, you must submit the stop payment order before the check is presented for payment. Stop payment orders received on a weekend, holiday, or after 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on a Business Day may be deemed received by us as of the next Business Day. Stop payment orders are effective for six months. To place a stop payment order on transactions not relating to a check, or to cancel a stop payment order, immediately call 1-877-770-BANC (2262) or visit one of our branches.
  • Fees may apply when placing a stop payment order. See the Fee Schedule (as that term is defined in Section 46); specifically, the section of the Fee Schedule titled “Stop Payment Order/ Renew – Online.”
  • If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments by writing to us at Banc of California, Attn: Customer Care Center, 3 MacArthur Place, Santa Ana, CA 92707, or by calling us at 1-877-770-BANC (2262).
  • We must receive your request at least 3 Business Days before the payment is scheduled to be made. (Note: If you fail to give us your request at least 3 Business Days prior to a transfer, we may attempt, at our sole discretion, to stop the payment. We assume no responsibility for our failure or refusal to do so, however, even if we accept the request for processing.) If you call, we may require you to put your request in writing and to provide us with a copy of your notice to the payee, revoking the payee’s authority to originate debits to your account, and get it to us within 14 days after you call. If we do not receive the written confirmation within 14 days, we may honor subsequent debits to your account. For individual payments, your request should specify the exact amount (dollars and cents) of the transfer you want to stop, the date of the transfer, and the identity of the payee. Unless you tell us that all future transfers to a specific recipient are to be stopped, we may treat your stop payment order as a request concerning the one transfer only. If you order us to stop one of these payments at least 3 Business Days before the transfer is scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages. We will charge you the stop payment fee listed in our Fee Schedule for each stop payment order you give. See the Fee Schedule (“Stop Payment – Order/Renew Fee”).
  • If you have arranged in advance to make regular payments out of your account and they 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.
  • For further terms and conditions regarding stop payment orders, please refer to the Deposit Account Agreement.
  1. Online Bill Payments. This Service may allow you to make current, future and recurring payments to others from one or more of your designated Bank checking Accounts. If you link more than one checking Account to the Service, you must specify which Account you wish to use in making payments. Payments cannot be made from a money market or savings Account, and requirements for dual signatures on checks do not apply to the Service. You acknowledge and agree that we may conduct a credit screen in order to determine eligibility and execution. The amount of a bill payment is limited for security purposes and it may change from time to time without advance notice to you.
  • Further terms and conditions relating to your use of the Bill Payment Service apply; such terms and conditions (which are subject to change from time to time) will be disclosed to you electronically when you first enroll in the Bill Payment Service. These terms and conditions can be accessed at www.bancofcal.com/agreements, where you can link to the Terms of Service for Bill Pay and Zelle® and locate provisions relating to the Bill Payment Service.
  1. Zelle® Transfers.To use the Service, you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States. If you enroll for this Service, you can send funds from your designated Bank account to an account at another U.S. financial institution or receive transfers to your Bank account from other persons in U.S. dollars. You agree that your use of this Service will comply with this Agreement and with all applicable laws, rules, statutes and regulations, including but not limited to any third party service provider’s standard operating procedures.
  • THE ZELLE SERVICE IS INTENDED FOR SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OTHERS WHOM YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE ZELLE TO SEND MONEY TO PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. ZELLE DOES NOT OFFER A PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE (FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU PAID FOR, OR THE GOODS OR SERVICES THAT YOU RECEIVED ARE DAMAGED OR ARE OTHERWISE NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED).
  • Further terms and conditions relating to your use of the Zelle Service apply; such terms and conditions (which are subject to change from time to time) will be disclosed to you electronically when you first enroll in the Zelle Service. These terms and conditions can be accessed at www.bancofcal.com/agreements, where you can link to the Terms of Service for Bill Pay and Zelle® and locate provisions relating to the Zelle® Service.
  1. Your Responsibility. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Password or Shared Secret has been lost or stolen or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission. 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 two Business Days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Password or Shared Secret without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Password or Shared Secret, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Password or Shared Secret without your permission if you had told us or otherwise stopped the unauthorized funds transfer, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows bill payments or transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed or otherwise made available 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.
  1. Our Responsibility. If we do not complete a transfer or send a payment 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 example, if: (a) we process your payment or transfer in a timely manner, but the payee rejects your payment or fails to process it in a timely manner; (b) your account does not contain sufficient available funds to make the transfer or payment, or the transfer or payment would exceed the credit limit on any overdraft line you have with us; (c) the money in your account is subject to an uncollected funds hold, legal process or any other encumbrance or claim restricting the transfer or payment; (d) the payee or transaction information you supply to us is incorrect, incomplete or untimely; (e) the system was not working properly and you knew about the problem when you requested the transfer or payment; (f) circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, viruses, pandemic, computer breakdowns or telecommunication problems) or rolling blackouts prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; (g) you do not authorize a bill payment early enough for your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due; (h) a transfer or payment could not be completed due to the system’s unavailability; or (i) you fail to follow our on-screen instructions properly. There may be other exceptions stated in our Deposit Account Agreement with you.
  1. In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Transfers or Bill Payments. Call or write to us at 1-877-770-BANC (2262) or Banc of California, Attn: Online Banking Support, 3 MacArthur Place, Santa Ana, CA 92707 as soon as you can if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. You must: (a) tell us your name and account number; (b) describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and (c) tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. In addition, it would be helpful if you provided us with any supporting documentation related to the error. For bill payments, please tell us the payee name, the date we charged your account, and the payee account number. 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 after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time that 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. For errors involving new accounts, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question, and up to 20 Business Days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
  • We will tell you the results within 3 Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and may also reverse the provisional credit previously provided. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
  1. Business and Other Non-personal Accounts. Our obligations set forth in Sections 25 and 26, and the limitations on customer liability set forth in Section 24 and in periodic statements, do not apply in the case of business or other non-personal accounts. The owners of those accounts must notify us immediately if they discover any unauthorized transactions or errors, and must send us a written notice of the problem within a reasonable time, not to exceed 14 days from the date of discovery or the date the first statement or notice reflecting the problem was mailed or otherwise made available to the customer, whichever occurs first. We may process any online instruction we believe is given by any of you if the instruction is accompanied by your Password, and you will be responsible for the transfer or payment, even if the instruction is not transmitted or authorized by you. See the Deposit Account Agreement for further terms and conditions.

  2. E-Statements offer you a convenient way to view, save and print your statements over the Internet. If you elect to receive E-Statements, we may discontinue sending written statements to you.

    • Mandatory Alerts provide you with important account notifications, such as information about changes to your Online Banking password, PIN, or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.
    • Account Alerts provide you with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to your Service accounts. These Alerts are automatically activated for you. Although you may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that you do not do so because they provide important information related to your Service accounts.
    • Additional Alerts must be activated by you to be enabled. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from the “More menu” within Banc of California Mobile Banking.
  3. Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. You cannot maintain all Alerts through your mobile device. We may add new Alerts from time to time, or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel Alerts, but are not obligated to do so. The Bank reserves the right to terminate its Alerts service at any time without prior notice to you.
  4. Methods of Delivery. We may provide Alerts through one or more channels (“endpoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message; (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) your Banc of California Online Banking message inbox, by an e-mail message. You agree to receive Alerts through these endpoints, and it is your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the endpoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message Alerts provided through the Alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your endpoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences. You agree to provide us a valid mobile phone number or email address so that we may send you Alerts. If your email address or your mobile device’s number changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Your Alerts will be updated to reflect the changes that you communicate to us with regard to your primary and secondary email addresses or mobile device number.
  5. Alerts via Text Message. To stop Alerts via text message, text “STOP” to 99588 at anytime. Alerts sent to your primary email address will be unaffected by this action.

  6. Limitations. The Bank provides Alerts as a convenience to you for information purposes only. An Alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide Alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, Internet service provider(s) and other factors outside the Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold the Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.
  7. Alert Information. As Alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that Alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your Alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.
  8. Privacy and User Information – Data Analytics. You acknowledge that in connection with your use of Mobile Banking, the Bank and its affiliates and service providers, including Fiserv, Inc. and its affiliates, may receive data about your usage of the service (such as session length, number of transactions and geolocation), and other data and information provided by you or from other sources in connection with Mobile Banking or the Software.

  9. Biometric Login for Mobile Banking. Biometric login is an optional biometric sign-in method for Banc of California Mobile Banking that may be available for certain mobile devices that have a built-in biometric scanner. To use biometric login, you will need to first save your fingerprint/facial feature scan on your mobile device (for more help with biometric scanning, contact the manufacturer that supports your mobile device). Biometrics are stored on your device only and the Bank never sees or stores your biometric information. You acknowledge that by enabling biometric login, you will allow anyone who has biometric information stored on your device access to your personal and payment account information within Banc of California Mobile Banking. The Bank reserves the right to suspend or disable this feature at any time. Biometric login can only be associated with one Mobile Banking username at a time on a device. If your device doesn’t recognize your biometric information, you can sign in using your standard login credentials (e.g., password). To use biometric login for Mobile Banking on multiple devices, you will need to set it up for each device. You can enable or disable biometric login anytime within Banc of California Mobile Banking.
  1. Ownership and License. You agree that the Bank and/or its service providers retain all ownership and proprietary rights in the Service, associated content, technology and website(s).

Unless we advise you otherwise, revised limits will be effective immediately upon notice to you.
    7. Receipt of Deposit. When you send an image, you can confirm whether it has been received by us by checking the “deposit history” tab in your mobile banking application. You can also check the status of the deposit later in the day. If you do not see your deposit under the “deposit history” tab, it may mean that we did not receive your transmission or that there was a problem with some of the information. If check information received by us is not complete and otherwise usable for any reason, we may reject the deposit, notwithstanding any confirmation by us of its receipt, and charge the amount back against any provisional credit to your account.
    8. Following receipt, we may process the image by preparing a paper “substitute check” or clearing the item electronically as an image.

Original Checks. After you receive confirmation that we have successfully received an image, you must securely store the original check for not more than 30 days, at which time you must thoroughly destroy it (e.g., by marking it “VOID” and cutting it into small pieces). At our request, you must provide us with the original check (if it is still in your possession) or a legible copy within five business days. If you fail to do so, we may reverse the amount from your account.
    12. You agree that you will never transfer or re-present the original check once it is processed by us. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment
    13. Funds Availability. If we confirm our receipt of your deposit information on a business day before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit; otherwise, your check will be considered deposited as of the next business day. We will generally make funds from your check deposits available to you in accordance with the timeframes and in the amounts set forth in your account agreement. If we decide to delay availability for a longer period, we will notify you. If the maker of a check or another third party makes a claim against us or seeks a recredit with respect to any check processed through the Service, we may provisionally freeze or hold aside a like amount in your account pending our investigation and resolution of the claim. We also may charge your account for any check that is returned, whether or not the return is timely or proper. If a check is returned to us for any reason, we may return it to you in the form of a substitute check. If you decide to redeposit the returned item, you may only redeposit the substitute check in person at one of our branches; you may not deposit the original check without our written approval.

        • You will not transfer, deposit or otherwise endorse to a third party the original check and no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the original check or a paper or electronic representation of the original check such that the person will be asked to make payment based on an item that has already been paid.
