How To Access Your Accounts:
To access your accounts through our Internet Home Banking service,
you must have your account number and an Internet Home Banking password.
This password is specific for electronic access to the Credit Union by
telephone and the PC. The password that is used to gain access to your
information should be kept confidential, just as you would keep other PIN
numbers and security codes confidential. For your protection we recommend
that you change your home banking access password regularly. It is recommended
that you memorize this password and do not write it down. You are responsible
for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential.
If you believe that your password may have been lost or stolen, or that
someone has transferred or may transfer money between your accounts without
your permission, notify VAMCU Federal Credit Union at once by calling (801)
583-5015
You cannot use E-mail to initiate transactions, change information
or inquire on your account(s). We will not respond to these types of requests
via E-mail since we cannot be certain we are corresponding with you. Please
use the appropriate functions within our Internet Home Banking service,
call (801) 583-5015 or visit the credit union for these functions.
To get an initial password for the Internet Home Banking service, visit
the credit union office or call us at (801) 583-6163
Fees:
There are no monthly fees and/or transaction fees for accessing your
account(s) through our Internet Home Banking service. We do not intend
to charge in the future for the service but reserve the right to do so
after providing 30 days advance notice to all users at the home banking
login page.
Available Services and Limitations:
The following functions may be performed by members through the service:
Operating Systems and Security:
Our internet home banking site is designed to operate using world wide
web technologies and protocols which are adaptable to a wide range of systems.
The home banking section uses SSL encryption and requires a browser with
a current (unexpired) Thawte Root CA Security Certificate. Some older browsers
may not be able to connect to the site without first updating the browser
security certificate. Our server uses 40 to 128 bit encryption, depending
on the users browser.
We use cookies to help us administer the home banking section. Some
browsers allow you to reject cookies from servers. If you don't allow us
to set a cookie upon entering the site, you will not be able to log in.
The cookie we set contains information we need for security, and allows
us to 'time out' your authority to view information. We place the cookie
with instructions that it can only be sent to a server in our home banking
domain (homecu.net). A cookie cannot be used to extract data from your
PC. We do not store your Access Code, User Id or Password in your cookie.
The cookie we set will 'time out' your access authority to our home
banking section. Until it times out, you can come back to our home banking
without logging in. After the time out period, you will need to log in
again. Remember, most browsers will let you use a BACK button to view previously
visited documents, even if your viewing authority has expired. For this
reason, the only way to keep others from viewing your account balance is
to exit the browser when you are finished with your session. This is especially
important if you are using a public or shared computer.
We reserve the right to limit access or cancel on-line access at
any time.
Privacy:
Our home banking database is a private system operated for the exclusive
use of our members. We use SSL encryption and digital server authentication
to insure the privacy of your information when sending data between our
home banking server and your PC.
All home CU logins are tracked by the server. For authenticated members
who use home banking, we collect and store certain information such as
how often you visit the home banking section, dates and times of visits
and which pages are being used. We use this information for internal review
and product evaluation only. We never sell, transfer or trade this information
unless we are compelled to do so by law.
We may gather and store additional information available to us on failed
login attempts and other activity we consider a threat to our system. In
these cases, we will share this information with other companies, agencies
and law enforcement officials as we see fit.
Liability for Unauthorized Transfers:
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen
and immediately change your password from within the home banking section.
Telephoning is the best way to notify us of. You could lose all the money
in your account. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose
no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped
someone from using your password 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, tell
us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement
was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty
(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 kept you from telling us, we will extend the time
periods.
If you believe your password has been lost or stolen or that someone
has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission,
call:
(801) 583-5015

VAMCU Federal Credit Union

Statements:
All transactions generated by you through our home banking service
and any home banking fees will appear on your monthly or quarterly statement.
Our Liability:
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or
in the correct amount according to our agreement/disclosure 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 the home banking equipment or software 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.
We shall not be responsible for any other loss, damage or injury whether
caused by the equipment, software and/or the home banking service, nor
shall we be responsible for any direct, indirect, special or consequential
damages arising in any way out of the installation, use or maintenance
of your equipment, software and/or service, except where the law requires
a different standard. We do not make any warranties concerning the equipment,
the software or any part thereof, including, without limitations, any warranties
of fitness for a particular purpose or warranties of merchantability.
Errors and Questions:
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, telephone
us at (801) 583-5015 or write us at 500 Foothill Drive, SLC, Utah
84148 as soon as you can. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60)
days after you learn of the error. You will need to tell us:
1. Your name and account number;
2. Why you believe there is an error and the dollar amount involved;
3. Approximately when the error took place.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint
or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will tell you
the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days and correct
any error promptly. If we need more time, we may take up to forty-five
(45) days to investigate the complaint, but you will have the use of the
funds in question after the ten (10) business days. If we ask you to put
your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten
(10) business days, we may not credit your account during the investigation.
If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation
within three (3) business days after we finish our investigation. You may
ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

call us at the telephone number shown above.
