In addition, the terms and conditions of any Business Deposit Account Agreement(s) you have with East Boston Savings Bank including signature cards, account disclosures, accompanying schedules and any change of terms notices are considered part of this disclosure.

East Boston Savings Bank ("we," "our," "us," or "EBSB") offers its EBSB Online Internet Service to enable you to perform banking transactions, pay bills and communicate with us by e:mail.

You should allow three (3) business days before receiving the new temporary password in the mail.

These identifiers should not be disclosed to any other person; however, if you should provide your codes to another person(s) to make transactions on your behalf, both you and such person(s) are bound by the terms and conditions outlined herein.

Services Enrollment
You authorize us to use Metavante Corporation to provide the Services to you on our behalf. Your application will constitute your authorization for us to make recurring and nonrecurring payments and/or transfers via the Services on your behalf. You may designate only one EBSB checking account for the EBSB Online Bill Payment service. You may not designate a savings or money market account for bill payment through EBSB Online. The account you select to process bill payment transactions is your "Designated Checking Account". You may make payments to any merchant that agrees to accept payments through the Services. You may also decide to have transfers made between one or more of your EBSB accounts via the Services.

Banking Features
You may use EBSB Online Services to: 1) transfer funds between checking, money market and statement savings accounts, and make loan payments from these accounts; 2) obtain account balances and transaction activity for your accounts; and, 3) send e:mail messages to and receive e:mail messages from us. These characteristics of internet banking are limited to the extent, and subject to the terms noted: a) Transfer Funds - Transfers sent after 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be posted the next business day. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from your accounts for security purposes. You may transfer funds using a money market account; however, your ability to transfer funds is limited by applicable Federal and State law, as stated in your Account Disclosures; b) Account Information - You may view balances on Checking, Savings, Money Market, CDs and Loan Accounts, as well as transaction activity on Checking, Savings and Money Market Accounts. The account information that you access will generally be current as of the previous business day; c) E:mail - Do not rely on electronic mail if you need to communicate with us immediately. Telephoning the Bank is the best way to reach us immediately. We will not take action on your e:mail requests until we actually receive the message and have a reasonable time to act

. Bill Payment Features
  1. You may use EBSB Online Services to make payments only from your Designated Account as stated in your application. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of your payment orders from your account for security purposes.

  2. You must use a computer to pay bills using EBSB Online Services. Your payment will be made either by transferring funds electronically to merchants or by sending a paper check to the merchant. You should allow at least seven (7) business days, not including any grace period, for the merchant to receive your payment.

  3. Recurring Payments - You may pay recurring bills by using EBSB Online to authorize automatic recurring payments. These payments must be for the same amount each month, and they will be paid on the same calendar day of each month, except for weekends and holidays, when payments will occur on the following business day.

  4. Insufficient Funds - When transmitting a payment order, you authorize us to reduce the funds in your Designated Account. If there are insufficient funds in the account to make payments, we may either refuse to pay the item or make the payment thereby overdrawing your account. In either occurrence, you are responsible for any non-sufficient funds (NSF) or overdraft charges imposed, as stated in our schedule of fees. Also, your Designated Account can be blocked due to overdrafts. If this occurs, no additional bill payments will be processed until the account is properly funded and all payments or transfers are cleared. To unblock your bill payment account, you will be charged a re-activation fee, as stated in our schedule of fees.

    If a payment has been made to one of your designated merchants for which funds were not available in your Designated Account, and we are unable to recover the amount of the payment by debit to the merchant or by charging your Designated Account, you agree to repay the funds owed immediately upon demand.

  5. Scheduling Payments - You should schedule your bill payment dates by 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time at least seven (7) business days in advance of the date the payment is actually due, not including any grace period. It is your responsibility to authorize your payments in such a manner that they may be paid on time. You are responsible for any late payment or finance charges that may be imposed as a result or your failure to transmit payment instructions at least seven (7) business days in advance.

    The date the merchant credits the payment depends on the merchant's actual payment processing procedures, and EBSB will not be responsible for any delay in crediting the payment which is the result of the merchant's payment processing procedures.

    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you authorize us and any third party acting on our behalf to select the most effective method to process your payment, including without limitation, electronic, paper or other acceptable means.

  6. Canceling Payments - Except for those payments and transfers which are completed immediately (for example, transfers between your EBSB accounts), you may cancel or modify a "Current Payment" (that is, a single payment you schedule to initiate the next time you transmit payments) via the Services up to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date to initiate. A "Future Payment" (that is, a one time payment you schedule to occur within the next 364 days) or a "Recurring Payment" (that is, a payment you schedule to occur weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) must be cancelled by 9:00 p.m. at least one (1) business day prior to the date to initiate. If your request is not received before the initiated payment date, you will be responsible for the payment.

    A cancellation of a recurring payment or transfer instruction will affect all future payments or transfers associated with that payment or transfer.

  7. Stopping Payments - If you wish to stop a payment previously authorized and it is too late to cancel the payment as described above, you should contact Customer Support at (800) 524-7912.

  8. Confirmation of Payments - Each time you properly execute and send a payment, the "Pending Payments List" screen will appear with the details of the payment as confirmation. The same process applies for recurring payments initiated by a single instruction. If you have deleted the payment successfully, the "Pending Payments List" will no longer show the payment. If the Service does not show the payment on the "Pending Payments List," you have not successfully initiated a payment, and we will not process your payment instructions. You may print a copy of the Pending Payments List for your records.

    If you follow the procedures as described for payments or transfers but are assessed a penalty or late fee by a merchant because your payment is late, we will reimburse you for your losses, including late charges, to the extent required by applicable law.

    However, if the payment does not show on the Pending Payments List or if you have been notified of our refusal or inability to make a payment or transfer, we shall not be liable for any failure to make a payment or transfer, including any finance charges or late charges incurred by you as a result.

    In the event that you do not adhere to your obligations under these terms and conditions, or you initiate a payment less than the number of days before the payment due date required for a particular merchant, you will bear full responsibility for all penalties, late charges and damages caused by your scheduling, and we will not be liable for any such charges.
