Transfers Involving Insufficient Funds
If you instruct us to make a transfer and you do not have a sufficient balance in the account from which you are making the transfer, we will refuse to complete the transaction. We may do this even if there are sufficient funds in accounts other than the one you were using to make the transfer. If we complete a transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction in the account from which the transfer is made, you agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other account you have with us. In any case, you are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any transfers you make or authorize.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if we do not make a transfer, or if we reverse a transfer because of insufficient funds, we are not required to make any further attempt to process the transfer or to notify you that the transfer has not been completed. You may be liable for a non-sufficient funds fee under the terms governing the account from which you made, or attempted to make, the transfer.

See our separate “Privacy Notice” for more information about how we use customer information and your choices.
Sending email is a very good way to communicate with us regarding your accounts or the Online Banking Services. However, unless you use the “Mail” link available through Online Banking Services after you have securely logged into the Online Banking site, your email is sent via your own software and, as a result, may not be secure. Because of this, you should not include confidential information, such as account numbers and balances, in any email sent to us using your personal email account. You cannot use email to initiate Online Banking Services transactions. All such transactions must be initiated using the appropriate functions within the Online Banking Services. We will not be liable for any errors, omissions, claims, or problems of any kind involving your email.
Links to Other Sites
Information that we publish on the Internet, through the Website or through Online Banking Services may contain links to other sites. We make no representations about any other website that you may access to, from or through the Website.

We are not responsible for any liability caused or in any way arising out of the installation, use or maintenance of your personal computer hardware or software or other Required Technology, including any software provided by us or one of our suppliers or vendors.
Your Liability for Authorized Transactions
Our system supporting Online Banking Services is designed so that it may be operated only upon entry of valid Login Information. You are liable for all transactions that you make or authorize. If you have given another individual your Login Information (User ID, password and/or responses to security questions), you have authorized them to access your account information and perform any and all functions to which you have access in the Service and are liable for all transactions performed by the individual.
You understand and agree that we are unable to detect any errors by you that result from you incorrectly entering in any account number or amount in connection with a funds transfer request.
Notify us IMMEDIATELY for Unauthorized Transactions
You should notify us AT ONCE at 920-885-2700 or 1-888-987-2265 if you believe your Login Information has been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised or used without your authorization. Telephoning us right away is the best way to keep your possible losses down.
- If an unauthorized transaction is an electronic funds transfer completed using the Service, the account owner is an individual, and the account from which funds are transferred is used for personal, family or household purposes, you can lose no more than $50 if you notify us within two (2) Business Days of discovering any unauthorized use of the Service or your Login Information. However, you can lose as much as $500.00 if you do not notify us within two (2) Business Days of discovering the unauthorized transfer and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized transfer had we been notified.
- If (a) above is not applicable to you or your account, you are responsible for all transfers and transactions accomplished using the Service. If any persons use the Service or your Login Information, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize using the Service.
In Case of Errors or Questions about Transactions Involving Consumer Accounts
Your liability regarding unauthorized transfers and errors involving Consumer Accounts may be limited by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and related federal regulations, as further set forth in the Electronic Funds Transfer Initial Disclosure provided to you when you opened your Consumer Account(s). You may request a copy of this notice by contacting us by one of the methods listed in the “Right to Receive Paper Copies” section of this Agreement.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appears or your liability may be increased. Your notice should include the following: (a) your name and account number (if any); (b) a description of the error or transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error and why you need more information; (c) the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing so we can receive it within ten (10) Business Days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days (20 Business Days if the transaction involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transaction involved a new account) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) Business Days (20 Business Days if the transaction involved a new account) for the amount you think is in error so that you will have the use of the money during the time 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 ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your account. An account is considered a new account for 30 days after the first deposit is made, if you are a new customer.
We will tell you the results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
In Case of Errors or Questions About Transactions Involving Business Accounts
Call us at 920-885-2700 or 1-888-987-2265 or write us at American Bank, P.O. Box 438, Beaver Dam, WI 53916 as soon as you can if you think your periodic statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction covered by this Agreement which is listed on the statement.
Availability of Online Banking Services
We intend to make Online Banking Services available at all times. However, we only process transactions and update information on Business Days and in some instances, only those transactions initiated prior to certain cut off times on Business Days. We do not guarantee a specific delivery time with respect to any information or document on the Service. We reserve the right to modify any cut off time or deadline set forth in this Agreement by publishing notice of such modification on the bank’s Website or otherwise providing notice to you by any means set forth in this Agreement. We will use reasonable efforts to provide the information requested through the Website and the Online Banking Services in a prompt fashion but shall have no liability for failure to provide timely information or services.
You acknowledge and agree that access to Online Banking Services may be affected by local market telecommunication network activity, capacity and compatibility with third party communications equipment, Internet access, software, servers and browsers. We disclaim any and all responsibility for any defect or service interruption in connection with local market telecommunication network activity, capacity and compatibility with third-party communication equipment, Internet access, software, browsers and servers. You acknowledge and agree that there are no assurances that information transmitted over the Internet or other computer or wireless networks will be secure or confidential, and you waive any and all claims against us in connection with any such transmissions. You further acknowledge that the Internet is known to be unpredictable in its performance and may from time to time impede access to Online Banking Services. You agree that we are in no way responsible for any such difficulties you may experience as a result of attempting to transmit data over the Internet or through any computer network while using Online Banking Services, and you waive any and all claims against us in connection with such use. In such event, you shall be responsible for carrying out banking business through alternative delivery channels.
Limitation or Suspension of Online Banking Services
For security reasons, we may implement limits from time to time on the number or amount of transactions you can make using our Online Banking Services. You also agree that we may, at any time, temporarily or permanently suspend the availability of the Online Banking Services if required by Applicable Law, any governmental authority, or if we believe such suspension to be necessary for security purposes (for example, if you input incorrect Login Information and/or responses to security questions), or to prevent unauthorized use, loss, theft, fraud, or any other liability or damage to you, us, or any other person. In the event of such suspension, we may refuse to process or complete scheduled or recurring transactions initiated through Online Banking Services. In the event of suspension, we will attempt to provide you reasonable notice; however, you understand and agree that the circumstances regarding any unauthorized use, loss, theft, or fraud may dictate that notice is reasonable if given at the time of suspension or in some cases after suspension of Online Banking Services.
Our Responsibility
We, or a third party acting as our agent, are responsible for completing fund transfers and transactions on time, according to your properly entered and transmitted instructions. If we do not, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, we will not be liable for losses or damages for incomplete or delayed transfers or transactions (a) if a Payee mishandles or delays crediting a payment sent by the Service; (b) if you do not have adequate collected funds in a deposit account to complete a transaction from the account, or if that account has been closed; (c) if you have not properly followed instructions on how to make a transfer; (d) if you have not given complete, correct and current instructions so that a transfer can be made; (e) if withdrawals from any accounts have been prohibited by a court order such as a garnishment or other legal process; (f) if we or our agent reasonably believes that a transaction may be unauthorized and based thereon the transaction is not completed; (g) if your equipment or the Service was not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to you or you were advised about the malfunction before you authorized a transfer or payment; (h) if circumstances beyond our control, or the control of our agent, prevent the completion of a transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, computer failure, telecommunication outages, postal strikes and other labor unrest, delays caused by fires, floods, other interference from an outside source or natural disasters; (i) if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your Overdraft Line of Credit, if any; (j) for errors or failures from any malfunctions of your browser, Internet service provider, computer, mobile provider, mobile device, virus or other problems relating to the computer and mobile equipment you use with the Service, including, without limitation, your inability to access the Service or any part of the Service; (k) for a failure to provide access or for interruption in access to the Service due to the Service system failure (l) if other events occur beyond our reasonable control.
There may be other exceptions to our liability as stated in our deposit account agreements with you.
Limitation of Damages
Our sole responsibility for any error with respect to the Online Banking Services shall be to make reasonable efforts to correct that error.
We shall have no liability to you or any other person for any special, incidental, indirect, consequential, or exemplary damages caused by any error, act, delay or omission by us, including but not limited to, dishonor of checks or other items or expenses which you may incur or suffer by reason of this Agreement or the services we provide, whether or not the possibility or likelihood of such loss or damage or expense is known to us.
In the event you incur any loss due to our fault, our liability to you shall be limited to general money damages not to exceed the lesser of the actual damages sustained and proven by you. You are required to notify us immediately if you experience errors, acts, delays, or omissions with respect to the Online Banking Services. We shall not be liable for any liability arising from any use or disclosure of any images of documents or items by any person to whom you have directed us to provide any of such images.

Mobile Deposit Service Agreement
This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions which govern your use of the Mobile Deposit Service (“Mobile Deposit”) made available through Mobile Banking. When you use Mobile Deposit or you permit any other person to use Mobile Deposit, you agree to the terms and conditions we have set out in this Agreement and any instructional material we provide to you regarding Mobile Deposit. This Agreement supplements other agreements between us, including, without limitation, your checking, savings, and other deposit account rules and agreements (“Account Opening Disclosures”), as well as the Online Banking and Mobile Banking Agreements. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Account Opening Disclosures, this Agreement will control as to any conflict relating to Mobile Deposit and access to your accounts via the Internet using a computer or mobile device. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Online Banking and Mobile Banking Agreements, this Agreement will control as to any issue relating to Mobile Deposit.
As used in this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” refer to each owner or authorized representative of a deposit account using the Mobile Deposit Service; the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and any other variation thereof refer to American Bank, including our directors, officers, employees, contractors, service providers, agents or licensees, “Business Day” means every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays or other days that banks are legally closed. By clicking the “Accept” button or by using or continuing to use the Mobile Deposit Service, you agree to this Agreement.
- General Description of the Mobile Deposit Service. Our Mobile Deposit Service allows you to make mobile deposits (“Mobile Deposit” and collectively “Mobile Deposits”) to your American Bank deposit accounts (except Individual Retirement Accounts and Health Savings Accounts) (“Deposit Account” and collectively “Deposit Accounts”). Mobile deposits may be made to your Deposit Accounts by using a supported camera-enabled Mobile Device with our Mobile Banking Software to capture electronic images of paper checks and to transmit such images and other information required hereby to us or our designated processor (“Processor”). You acknowledge and agree that a Mobile Deposit made by you using the Mobile Deposit Service is not an “Electronic Funds Transfer” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation E. The terms “us,” “our,” and “Processor” may be used interchangeably when used in relation to any services performed by a Processor on our behalf including, but not limited to, the receipt and processing of images and check data and any notices related thereto. The Mobile Device must capture an image of the front and back of each check (“Check Images”) to be deposited in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Agreement and any instructions provided to you within our Mobile Banking Software (“Procedures”). After capture of the Check Images and all other required data and information from the paper Check, you will transmit for Mobile Deposit the Check Images and all other required data and information from or pertaining to the Check to us or Processor using the Software installed on your Mobile Device. Subject to compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, we will process Check Images of the Check into the collection process, in accordance with the provisions of our then current Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure (“Account Documentation”) pertaining to the Deposit Account into which the Mobile Deposit is to be made. You acknowledge and agree that we may discontinue, and/or change the terms of the Mobile Deposit Service or any related content, features, products or services associated therewith, at any time without notice or liability to you or any third party except as required by law.
- Hardware and Software. You understand you must, and hereby agree to, at your sole cost and expense, use a mobile device that meets all technical requirements for the proper delivery of Mobile Deposit and that fulfills your obligation to obtain, and maintain, secure access to the Internet (“Mobile Device”). You understand and agree you may also incur, and shall pay, any and all expenses related to the use of Mobile Deposit, including, but not limited to, telephone service or Internet service charges. You are solely responsible for the payment of any and all costs and expenses associated with meeting and maintaining all technical requirements and additional items necessary for the proper use of Mobile Deposit. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the operation, maintenance and updating of all equipment, applications and services used in connection with Mobile Deposit and the cost thereof, and you hereby agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed, all vendor recommended testing, maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements. We are not responsible for, and you hereby release us from any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any virus or related problems that may be associated with using electronic mail or the Internet. We are not responsible for, and you hereby release us from any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, defects in or malfunctions of your Mobile Device, software or applications, or failures of or interruptions in any telephone or Internet services. We hereby advise you, and you hereby agree to scan your Mobile Device and applications on a regular basis using a reliable virus detection product in order to detect and remove viruses.
- Checks Deposited and Security Interest. When using the Mobile Deposit Service, you hereby agree that you will only scan and deposit a check as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. You agree that when an image of the check transmitted to us (each “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”) is converted to an image replacement document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. When used in this Agreement the term “Check” also refers to the Image and is considered an “item” as used in Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. You cannot deposit money orders, U.S. Savings Bonds, or charge card convenience checks using the Mobile Deposit Service. You agree that you will not use the Mobile Deposit Service to deposit any Checks that:
- are payable to any person or entity other than the Deposit Account owner,
- are prohibited by our then current procedures pertaining to the Mobile Deposit Service or are in violation of any law, rule or regulation,
- evidence alteration or that you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the Checks are drawn,
- have been previously endorsed by a bank (or other institution) and are either “substitute checks” (as defined in Regulation CC or other applicable federal law or regulation) or “image replacement documents” that purport to be substitute checks, without our prior written consent,
- are drawn on financial institutions that are located outside of the United States or territories of the United States.
- are not payable in U.S. Dollars,
- are not acceptable to us for deposit into a Deposit Account as provided in the Account Documentation
- are payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees
- are remotely created checks, as defined in Regulation CC,
- are dated more than six (6) months prior to the date of deposit,
- have previously been submitted through Mobile Deposit or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution,
- have been dishonored or returned to you unpaid for any reason.
Checks described in clauses (1) through (12) are each a “Prohibited Check” and collectively, “Prohibited Checks.” If you deposit a Prohibited Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse us for, and hold us harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) we may incur associated with any warranty, indemnity or other claim related thereto. You grant us a security interest in all Deposit Accounts or other deposits (whether general or special) of yours at American Bank, and in all funds in such Deposit Accounts or other deposits, to secure your obligations to us under this Agreement. This security interest will survive termination of this Agreement.
- Scanning of Checks and Transmission of Check Images. You shall properly use all Software required by this Agreement or otherwise, required for or related to, the use of the Mobile Deposit Service. Before capturing a picture of the Check Images, you shall endorse the Check with your Signature and write “For Mobile Deposit Only” immediately below your Signature or as we may otherwise require. A check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees and deposited into an account in the name of both payees. Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility. Once you have endorsed the Check, you shall then capture the Check Images of the Check to be deposited via Mobile Deposit and transmit the Check Images and any other required data and information from or pertaining to such Check to us or the processor in accordance with the Procedures. We reserve the right to amend the Procedures, with or without prior notice to you. To ensure accuracy, you shall key the amount of each Check and any other information required using the Software prior to transmitting the Mobile Deposit in accordance with the Procedures.
- Deposit Limits. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of Mobile Deposits that you can transmit using the Mobile Deposit Service and to modify such limits from time to time (collectively defined as the “Limits”). If we modify the established deposit limits and/or restrictions, we will notify you at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the modification. Your continued use of Mobile Deposit after such notification shall constitute your agreement to the modification. The Mobile Deposit Service will not permit you to deposit any Check that is an amount greater than $2,000.00. There is a daily deposit limit of $2,500.00. You may send multiple Mobile Deposits to us throughout the day, not to exceed the Limits. Requests for modification of individual Mobile Deposit user’s daily deposit and per-check limits are evaluated on case-by-case basis.
- Cut-Off Times and Availability of Funds. If we receive the Image of a Check on or before 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (“Cut-Off Time”) on a Business Day, we will consider that day the day of deposit. If we receive the Image of a Check after the Cut-Off Time, on a weekend, or on a non-Business Day, we will consider the next Business Day as the day of deposit. Funds deposited using the Mobile Deposit Service will generally be made available the same day as your deposit, although there may be delays in availability of funds and we are not responsible for any loss, costs or fees that you may incur as a result of any such delay. A Mobile Deposit is considered received by us when a complete copy of the Mobile Deposit has been written on our electronic storage device in conformity with our technical and operational requirements. To meet the Cut-Off Time, the entire Mobile Deposit must be received by us prior to the Cut-Off Time, and the Mobile Deposit must successfully pass the edits for conformity with the technical requirements. For purposes of determining when a Mobile Deposit has been delivered and received, our records shall be determinative. We reserve the right to change the number of Mobile Deposits that may be transmitted in a day and the Cut-Off Time. All such changes shall be effective immediately and may be implemented prior to your receipt of notice. You may contact us at 920-885-2700 or 1-888-987-2265 during normal business hours to verify the current number of Mobile Deposits that may be transmitted in a day, the applicable deposit limit and the Cut-Off Time.
- Maintenance and Destruction of Original Check. You shall mark original Checks deposited using the Mobile Deposit Service to indicate the Checks were deposited using Mobile Deposit and the date of deposit. All original Checks are to be securely stored for a period of fourteen (14) days after you transmitted the item (“Retention Period”). During the Retention Period, you shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that: (a) only you shall have access to original Checks, (b) the information contained on such Checks shall not be disclosed, (c) such Checks will not be duplicated or scanned more than one time and (d) such Checks will not be deposited or negotiated in any form. You will promptly (but in all events within 5 Business Days) provide any retained Check (or, if the Check is no longer in existence, a replacement Check or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the Check) to us as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process or to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any Check. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your Deposit Account. After the Retention Period expires, if you have verified that the funds have been credited to your Deposit Account, you agree to destroy the original Check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of an original Check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original Check. You hereby indemnify us for, and hold us harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses and damages, of whatever nature or kind, and regardless of the theory upon which the same is (are) based, caused directly or indirectly by, arising out of, related to, in connection with or resulting wholly or partially from, the destruction of original Checks by you.
- Image and MICR Quality. Check Images of each Check shall be of such quality that the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of such Check Images:
- The amount of the Check;
- The payee of the Check;
- The signature of the drawer of the Check;
- The date of the Check;
- The Check number;
- The information identifying the drawer and the paying bank (or other institution) that is preprinted on the Check, including the magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) line; and
- All other information placed on the Check prior to the time the Check Images of the Check are captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check.
You shall ensure the Check Images transmitted to us include the full-field MICR encoding on each Check. You shall be responsible for the inspection of all Check Images to ensure the legibility of the Check Image including without limitation the dollar amount and signature of the person who signed the Check (the “drawer”), and for ensuring that any and all information on a paper Check is accurately captured and legible in the resulting Check Image and otherwise complies with any Check Image quality standards and guidelines that may be established by American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. You acknowledge that current image technology may not capture all security features (e.g. watermarks) contained in the original paper checks and agree to assume any and all losses resulting from claims based on security features that do not survive the image process.
- Receipt of Mobile Deposit. You agree that you shall be solely liable for, and we shall not have any liability whatsoever to you for, any Mobile Deposit or Check Images or other information contained therein that are not received by us in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or for Mobile Deposits or Check Images or other information contained therein that are intercepted or altered by an unauthorized third party. You agree that we have no obligation to accept a Mobile Deposit and, therefore, may reject any Deposit or Check Images or other information contained therein submitted by you. We shall have no liability to you for the rejection of a Mobile Deposit or Check Images or other information contained therein or for the failure to notify you of such rejection. Upon receipt of a Mobile Deposit submitted by you, we may examine such Mobile Deposit and the Check Images and other information contained therein to ensure that you have complied with this Agreement and followed the Procedures. If we determine that you have not complied with this Agreement or followed the Procedures or if errors exist in the Check Images or other information contained in the Mobile Deposit, we, in our sole discretion, may either reject the Mobile Deposit or elect to correct the error and accept and process the corrected Mobile Deposit (“Corrected Mobile Deposit”). As a form of correction, we may credit your Deposit Account for the full amount of the Corrected Mobile Deposit and make any necessary adjustments to the Deposit Account to correct the error. We may, at our option, also perform a risk management analysis of one or more Mobile Deposits submitted by you to detect potentially fraudulent Checks, and, in our sole discretion, we may reject any such Mobile Deposit or the Check Images or other information contained therein. If after examination of a Mobile Deposit and the Check Images and other information contained therein, we determine that you have complied with this Agreement and processed and transmitted the Mobile Deposit in accordance herewith and with the Procedures, we shall accept the Mobile Deposit for deposit to your designated Deposit Account. Notwithstanding the fact that we have accepted a Mobile Deposit for processing, any credit made to your Deposit Account shall be provisional, and you shall remain liable to us for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against, us.
- Provisional Credit and Availability of Funds. We are notifying you in advance that Mobile Deposits made using our Mobile Deposit Service do not fall under the standard provisions of Regulation CC – Expedited Funds Availability Act. As such, longer hold periods may apply. In general, if Check Images of an Item you transmit through the Mobile Deposit Service is received and accepted before the Cut-Off Time on a Business Day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next Business Day we are open. Funds deposited using the Mobile Deposit Service will generally be made available the same day of deposit. We normally apply the terms of our Funds Availability Disclosure to Check Images received via the Mobile Deposit Services as if we had received the original paper check. However, in addition to any exceptions specified in our Funds Availability Disclosure, we may delay availability of funds from any Deposit you make through Mobile Deposit at any time at our sole discretion. You acknowledge that all credits given by us for a Check are provisional, subject to verification and final settlement.
- Laws, Rules and Regulations. You agree to comply with all existing and future operating procedures used by us for processing of transactions. You further agree to comply with, and be bound by, all applicable state or federal laws, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines, operating circulars and pronouncements, affecting checks and drafts, including, but not limited to, all rules and procedural guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Electronic Check Clearing House Organization (“ECCHO”) and any other clearing house or other organization in which we are a member or to which rules we have agreed to be bound. These procedures, rules, and regulations (collectively the “Rules”) and laws are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Rules, the Rules will control.
- Unavailability; Contingency Plan. Mobile Deposit may be unavailable temporarily due to system maintenance or technical difficulties, including those of the Internet service provider, cellular service provider and Internet software. You acknowledge that, in the event you are not able to capture, process, produce or transmit a Mobile Deposit to us, or otherwise comply with the terms hereof or of the Procedures, for any reason, including, but not limited to, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, you may deposit original Checks with us at one of our branch locations until such time as the outage, interruption or failure is identified and resolved. You hereby acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage of any nature sustained by you as a result of your inability to use the Mobile Deposit Service. It is your sole responsibility to verify that Check Images transmitted using the Mobile Deposit Service have been received and accepted for Mobile Deposit.
- Warranties. You represent, warrant and covenant the following to us:
- Each Check Image is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original Check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the Check has no defense against payment of the Check.
- The amount, payee(s), signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the Check Image and on the original Check are legible, genuine and accurate.
- You will not 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.
- There are no other duplicate Check Images of the original Check.

Mobile Deposit Services. The mobile deposit services (“Deposit Services”) are designed to allow you to make deposits to your checking, savings, or money market accounts using your approved mobile device from any location by taking pictures of physical checks and delivering the images and associated deposit information to the Bank or the Bank’s designated processor. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Deposit Services, at our discretion without incurring any liability to you. We may restrict and/or cancel, without prior notice, your ability to use Deposit Services if we notice any suspicious activity or mismanagement of American Bank accounts including failure to promptly bring negative account balances to a positive balance.
Eligible items. You agree to take pictures of and deposit only checks as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg CC”). You agree that the image of the check transmitted to the Bank shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. You agree that you will not use the Deposit Services to take pictures of and deposit any checks or other items as shown below which shall be considered ineligible items:
- Checks or items payable to any person or entity other than you.
- Checks payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the account.
- Checks made payable to a business that you attempt to deposit into a personal account.
- Checks or items containing an alteration to any of the fields on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check or item is drawn.
- Checks that have been previously negotiated.
- Checks that have previously been submitted through the Deposit Services or through a service offered at another financial institution.
- Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg CC.
- Checks or items drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
- Checks or items that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg CC.
- Checks or items not payable in United States currency.
- Checks or items dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit.
- Checks that are post-dated (made payable at some point in the future).
- Checks or items prohibited by the Bank’s current procedures relating to the Deposit Services or which are otherwise not acceptable under the terms of your the Bank account.
- Checks payable on sight or payable through Drafts, as defined in Reg CC.
- Checks with any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this agreement.
- Deposits which exceed your per check or daily limit.
Image Quality. The image of an item transmitted to the Bank using the Deposit Services must be legible. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by ANSI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.
Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Deposit Services as “For deposit only, American Bank account #______” or as otherwise instructed by the Bank. If the check is made payable to you and another payee, both of you must endorse the check, and it must be deposited into an American Bank joint account owned by both of you. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Deposit Services as the Bank may establish from time to time.
Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Deposit Services, at our discretion, without liability to you. When we receive an image, we will only notify you only if a deposit is rejected. The image is not deemed “received” by us until it is posted to your account at the end of the business day. Acceptance within the American Bank Mobile Deposit application does not mean that the image is free of errors or will be accepted for deposit. Reasons for rejection may include any of the following: incomplete or missing endorsement; illegible check or poor image quality; altered check; or duplicate check. This list is a list of examples only and is not a list of all of the reasons that an image of a check may be rejected. We are not responsible for any image we do not receive. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. Images received will be available to view inside the mobile application. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time; any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.
“Exception Item” includes, without limitation, an Electronic Item that (a) is illegible or contains MICR data that is not machine-readable, (b) was previously processed as an Electronic Item, or (c) is drawn on banks located outside the United States and is not payable at or through a bank located within the United States. If you attempt to deposit an Exception Item to your account, you shall do so only by depositing the original paper item on which the Exception Item is based or as otherwise agreed between us. Even if we do not initially identify an item as an Exception Item when we review and process the item to which the Exception Item relates, the electronic item, substitute check, or the purported substitute check created by us from it may nevertheless be returned to us because, among other reasons, the paying bank determines that such item or check is illegible or missing an image. Our failure to identify an Exception Item shall not preclude or limit the obligation of you to American Bank.
Availability of Funds. Items transmitted using the Deposit Services are subject to our Funds Availability Policy. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Deposit Services is received and accepted before 5:00 p.m. Central Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. The Bank may delay availability of funds based on such factors as the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from the Bank that we have received the image of an item, you agree to prominently mark the item as “Electronically Presented” or “VOID” and to properly dispose of the item after 14 calendar days to ensure that it is not re-presented for payment. And, you agree never to re-present the item. You will promptly provide any retained item, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to the Bank as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for the Bank’s audit purposes.
Deposit Limits. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) of deposits that you transmit using the Deposit Services and to modify such limits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times. Deposit limits are subject to change at any time with our discretion. Daily and per item dollar limits may vary and are subject to change at the discretion of the Bank.
Fees. Any applicable fees for the Deposit Services may be changed by us at our discretion at any time upon at least 30 days prior notice to you, to the extent required by applicable law. If the account that you designated for the deposit and fee is closed or does not have sufficient available funds to cover the fees, you authorize us to charge any such fees to any other deposit account you maintain with us.
Errors. You agree to notify the Bank of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the Deposit Services right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable Bank account statement is sent. Unless you notify the Bank within 60 days, such statement regarding all deposits made through the Deposit Services shall be deemed correct, and you are prohibited from bringing a claim against the Bank for such alleged error.
Errors in Transmission. By using the Deposit Services you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission. The Bank bears no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items or information disclosed through such errors.
Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in the Bank’s sole discretion subject to the “Terms and Conditions of Your Account” and Disclosures governing your account.

Fingerprint Login for Mobile Banking. Fingerprint Login is an optional fingerprint sign-in method for The American Bank of Beaver Dam Mobile Banking that may be available for certain Apple® (via Touch ID™) and Android® mobile devices that have a built-in fingerprint scanner. To use Fingerprint Login, you will need to first save your fingerprint on your mobile device (for more help with fingerprint scanning, contact the manufacturer that supports your mobile device.). Fingerprints are stored on your device only and The American Bank of Beaver Dam never sees or stores your fingerprint information. You acknowledge that by enabling Fingerprint Login, you will allow anyone who has a fingerprint stored on your device access to your personal and payment account information within The American Bank of Beaver Dam Mobile Banking. The American Bank of Beaver Dam reserves the right to suspend or disable this feature at any time. Fingerprint Login can only be associated with one Mobile Banking username at a time on a device. If your device doesn’t recognize your fingerprint, you can sign in using your standard login credentials (e.g. password). To use Fingerprint Login for Mobile Banking on multiple devices, you will need to set it up for each device. You can enable or disable Fingerprint Login anytime within The American Bank of Beaver Dam Mobile Banking.
