Electronic Fund Transfer and Service Limitations
The following limitations on Online Banking Service transactions may apply in using the services listed above.Transfers
During any statement period, you may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers from your savings accounts to another Sikorsky Financial Credit Union savings or checking account of yours or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephonic, POS transaction, or online instruction. An automated monitor will not permit additional prohibited transactions to be processed. The limitation on preauthorized transfers does not apply to preauthorized transfers to pay loans you have with us or to withdrawals or transfers to another account you maintain with us if made in person or by mail or through an automated teller machine. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account or up to the available credit limit on a line of credit at the time of the transfer, except as further limited under this Agreement or your Account or Loan Agreements. For certain share accounts, we may require a minimum deposit to open the account and a minimum balance to maintain the account or to earn the stated rate of dividend. The amounts of these opening deposits and minimum balances are described in the Schedule of Dividends. We reserve the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds or lower an account below a required balance. For security reasons we may further limit the frequency or dollar amount of transactions from your account.
Account Information
The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. The availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to our Funds Availability Policy. The Funds Availability Policy is located in the Disclosures section of the Website.
Sikorsky Financial Credit Union reserves the right to communicate with you by means of electronic communications (e-mail). All communications in either electronic or paper format will be considered in writing. Changes to your e-mail address must be communicated to us. You may notify us of changes to your e-mail address in writing to Sikorsky Financial Credit Union, 1000 Oronoque Lane, Stratford, CT 06614, Attention: Member Service; or by calling 203-377-2252 or 888-753-5553 Option 4, Member Service.
Sikorsky Financial Credit Union may not immediately receive e-mail communications that you send. Alternatively, you may send us a secure message by submitting a "Contact Us" form which can be found on our website and within the Online Banking system. You cannot use E-mail to initiate transactions on your accounts. For transactions, please use the appropriate functions within the Online Banking Service or our Telephone Banking (CALL-24) service.
Security of Personal Identification Number (PIN), User ID and Password
Sikorsky Financial Credit UnionÕs Online Banking Service uses multifactor authentication for you to access your account information. Using multiple methods of identification assists in reducing the opportunity for an unauthorized third party to gain access to your account. Access to your accounts requires the utilization of a Personal Identification Number (PIN), and a username and password that you have identified. You are responsible for the safekeeping of your username, password, and PIN. These are confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You may change your password or PIN. We recommend that you change your password regularly. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your password or PIN available to anyone not authorized to access your accounts. We are entitled to act on instructions received under your password and PIN. For security purposes, Sikorsky Financial Credit Union recommends that you memorize the password and PIN and do not write them down. If you disclose your password or PIN to another person, you are responsible for any transactions conducted by that person or another person because of that disclosure. If you fail to maintain the security of the password and PIN and we suffer a loss, we may terminate your access to the Online Banking Service and account services immediately. If you believe or suspect that someone may have learned your password or PIN, you should immediately call Sikorsky Financial Credit Union at 203-377-2252 or 888-753-5553, option 4, Member Service or visit one of our branches.
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 or your password or PIN, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. You will notify us AT ONCE if you believe anyone has used your password or PIN or accessed your accounts through the Online Banking Service without your authorization. Telephoning us at the number listed below is the best way of keeping your losses to a minimum. You may also write to Sikorsky Financial Credit Union at the address listed below. If you notify us within two (2) Business Days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone accesses your accounts without your permission. If you do NOT notify us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account, password, or PIN, and we can prove that we could have prevented someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. If you do not notify us within 60 days after your account statement was mailed to you, and we can prove that we could have prevented any loss if you had, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from notifying us, we will extend the time period.
If you believe that unauthorized access has occurred or someone has used your password or PIN or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call us at 203-377-2252 or 888- 753-5553, option 4, Member Service; or write us at Sikorsky Financial Credit Union, 1000 Oronoque Lane, Stratford, CT 06614, Attention: Member Service.
Periodic Statements
Transfers and withdrawals transacted through the Online Banking Service will be recorded on your periodic statement. You will receive a statement monthly unless there is no transaction in a particular month. In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly. Additionally, through the Online Banking Service, you can view all your recent share savings, checking and loan activity at any time.
Questions and Errors
In case of errors or questions about your statement, receipt or Online Banking transactions, contact Sikorsky Financial Credit Union IMMEDIATELY at 203-377-2252 or 888- 753-5553, option 4, Member Service; or write to us at Sikorsky Financial Credit Union, 1000 Oronoque Lane, Stratford, CT 06614, Attention: Member Service. Notify us if you need more information about a transfer listed on your statement, receipt or Online Banking history. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. You must:
1. Provide your name and account number;
2. 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
3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you notify us verbally, we may ask that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. We will usually tell you of our findings within 10 Business Days of you notifying us and correct any error promptly (20 Business Days if the notice of an error occurs within 30 days after you make the first deposit to your account). If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question (90 days for point of sale debit card transactions, electronic funds transfer transactions from outside the U.S., its possessions and territories, or if the notice of error occurs within 30 days after the first deposit to your account). If we decide to do this, and you sent us your complaint or question in writing, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error (20 Business Days if the notice of an error occurs within 30 days after you make the first deposit to your account). You will have the use of the money while we complete our investigation.
If the error is related to your line of credit account, you do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but are still obligated to pay the other part of your line of credit bill that is not in question. While we investigate your question, we cannot report the amount in question as delinquent or take any action to collect the amount you question.
Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
We will not disclose any information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make except:
1. To follow your instructions as you authorize, to conduct our operations, or to protect the security of our financial records;
2. To verify the existence of your account for a third party, such as a merchant or credit bureau;
3. To comply with a statute, regulation, or rule, or to comply with a subpoena, search warrant or other proper government agency or court order, such as tax information, regulatory examination, and reports of unusual cash transactions;
4. When Sikorsky Financial Credit Union concludes that disclosure is necessary to protect you, your account or the interest of Sikorsky Financial Credit Union;
5. In connection with examinations by financial institution authorities, or our authorized auditors;
6. If you give us your written permission; and
7. For any other reason set forth in our Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement.
We do not disclose information unless required or permitted by state and federal privacy laws. See Sikorsky Financial Credit Union's Privacy Policy for a more complete explanation of how we protect our members' informational privacy. Sikorsky Financial Credit Union's Privacy Policy is located in the Disclosures section of the Website.
Our Liability for Failure to Make Certain Transfers
Our liability to you is explained in any agreements, notices, and disclosures that we separately provide to you from time to time regarding your accounts. This section explains our liability to you only to the extent that our liability has not been separately disclosed to you by any of these agreements, notices, or disclosures.

2. If the funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process, such as garnishment, levy, attachment, or other claim;
3. If you used the wrong password or PIN or account number or you have not properly followed any applicable computer, Online access or Online Banking Service instructions for making transactions;
4. If your computer fails or malfunctions or the Online Banking Service was not working properly when you began the transaction;

6. For other exceptions to your liability as stated in our Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement; and
7. For any indirect, special or consequential damages, except to the extent such limitation of liability is not permitted by law.

You may choose to accept changes by continuing the use of the Online Banking Service. You may choose to decline changes by discontinuing the use of the Online Banking Service. Any use of the Online Banking Service after the amended Agreement's effective date will constitute your agreement to such change(s).
Further, the Online Banking Service may, from time to time, revise or update the programs, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the Online Banking Service's programs, services, and/or related material and limit access to the Online Banking Service's more recent revisions and updates. Changes to fees or terms applicable to accounts are governed by the agreement otherwise governing the applicable account.

Mobile Banking Services
Mobile Banking Services are provided to you by Sikorsky Financial Credit Union as part of the Online Banking and Bill Pay Services and are powered by a third party (the "Licensor") mobile technology solution.
This document governs your use of certain online banking services via cell phone or other handheld mobile device (a "Mobile Device") as described below ("Mobile Banking Service" or "MBS"). We may offer additional MBS features and services in the future. Any added Mobile Banking Services and features will be governed by these terms and conditions.
Your use of the MBS is subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement between you and Sikorsky Financial Credit Union that is applicable to the products and/or services accessed through MBS such as the Funds Availability Policy and the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement.
The use of mobile technology to access Mobile Banking Services could present a heightened security risk due to the fact that mobile devices have less sophisticated access protections and wireless transmissions are vulnerable to interception. Sikorsky Financial Credit Union has implemented Mobile Banking as an accommodation to its members, recognizing that any web page is accessible by certain mobile devices. Sikorsky Financial Credit Union cannot undertake to mitigate the additional risks presented by the use of mobile devices to access Mobile Banking Services. If you access MBS via a mobile device, you do so at your own risk and to the maximum extent permitted by law, Sikorsky Financial Credit Union shall have no liability to you or to any third party arising from or related to your use of Mobile Banking.
In order to access MBS, you must have a cell phone or other handheld device that can send and receive information using the technology that supports this Service (a "Mobile Device").
Depending on the Mobile Device and telecommunications provider you use, you may be required to download and install an application or other software to your Mobile Device (a "Mobile Application") in order to access and use MBS. It is solely your responsibility to download and properly install any Mobile Application that is required in order to access MBS through your Mobile Device and telecommu nications provider.
You understand that the Mobile Application is being provided by a third party, and Sikorsky Financial Credit Union has no responsibility whatsoever to you in connection with the Mobile Application. You are solely responsible for complying with all terms of use applicable to the Mobile Application, and properly downloading, installing, updating, and using the Mobile Application. Sikorsky Financial Credit Union has no obligation whatsoever to notify you of any changes to or new releases for any Mobile Application and Sikorsky Financial Credit Union shall have no liability for any claims or damages arising from or relating to the Mobile Application, or your failure to comply with any terms of use for the Mobile Application or your failure to download and properly install any update. You agree that any Mobile Application is licensed, not sold, solely for your use in accessing MBS.
Security
In addition to the safeguarding and security provisions set forth in the Agreement, the following provisions shall apply to your use of MBS:
1. Your Mobile Device may be used to obtain information about your Accounts, and perform transactions on and make transfers between Accounts. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Mobile Device and you are responsible for all transactions made using your Mobile Device. MBS will display sensitive information about your Accounts, including balances and transaction amounts. Anyone with access to your Mobile Device may be able to view this information.
2. In order to prevent misuse of your accounts through MBS, you agree to protect all UserIDÕs and passwords associated with your accounts and the MBS, and to monitor your accounts on a daily basis.
3. In addition to protecting your UserID and password and other account information, you should also take precautions to protect your personal identification information, such as your driver's license, Social Security Number, etc. This information by itself or together with other account information may allow unauthorized access to your accounts. You are also responsible for protecting and securing all information and data stored in your Mobile Device. You will be notified of changes to these terms and conditions which materially affect your rights. By continuing to use the MBS after such notice of any change, you agree to the change. We may terminate or suspend all or any part of the MBS at any time, at our discretion, without notice to you, and without liability to you. Additional member eligibility requirements apply to services provided through Mobile Banking.
4. MBS is designed to safeguard your online transactions from unauthorized use. We use multiple levels of protection: A User Identification System (User Name and Password), a previously registered device or phone number, and encryption of your information. The enhanced security enables our members to register their identity and their personal computers with us, so that we can authenticate them upon logon; as well as enabling our members to confirm that they are at the actual Sikorsky Financial Credit Union Website.
5. Additional protection is provided by "firewalls" at our Web server location, and by policies that restrict access to your account information to only those who need to support you as a member.
