Security & Protecting Your Account
Disclosures
Western Commerce Bank's Online Agreement, Disclosures, Terms and Conditions
Welcome to Western Commerce Bank (WCB) Online! This Online Personal Computer (PCB) Banking Agreement and Disclosure (the “Agreement”) discusses how you can use WCB Online (the “Service”) to obtain information about your accounts, to transfer funds between your accounts, and to request certain other bank services.
If you use WCB Online, you thereby indicate your consent to these terms. You may print a copy of this Agreement for your records now, or you can refer to this document in the Online Help section later at your convenience.
WCB is strongly committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of our customer account information. WCB uses state-of-the-art technology in the development of its Online PC Banking service to ensure this security. We use several different methods to protect your account information:
- You can only access WCB Online with certain browsers that have a high security standard.
- Your account numbers are not displayed in full – only the last 4 digits can be viewed.
- You must have a valid User ID and Password to log on.
- For security reasons, if no action is taken for 10 minutes, you will be automatically logged off WCB Online.
Your responsibility:
You agree:
- Not to give out your identifying information such as your PCB Password to any other person. The bank may rely on your User ID to identify you when providing banking services to you.
- Never to leave your account information displayed in an area accessible by others.
- Never to leave your PCB unattended while using WCB Online.
- To always exit the system by clicking on EXIT after using WCB Online.
- To notify WCB at 1-800-922-9028 immediately if you suspect that your User ID or Password has become known to any unauthorized person.
Electronic messages sent and received via the “Contact Us” option in WCB Online (i.e., once your User ID and Password have been accepted by WCB and your browser shows that a secure connection has been established) are secure. Communications sent over the public Internet are not necessarily secure. We strongly recommend you never send any confidential information or account numbers through e-mail to anyone. You agree that we may take a reasonable time to act on any e-mail. Correspondence that requires expeditious handling – for example, if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts, or if you need to immediately stop payment on a check you have issued, should be made by calling the Bank. You agree that WCB may send you electronic messages about other products or services we offer.
If you are a consumer, and you have a User ID and Password from us, you will be able to transfer funds between your WCB deposit and loan accounts. If you do not want to have the ability to transfer funds between accounts using WCB Online, or if you want to restrict the accounts from which you can transfer funds using your User ID and Password, call us at 1-800-922-9028, and we will make the necessary adjustments to this service for you.

You may use WCB Bill Pay service to direct WCB to make payments from your designated checking account to the Merchants you choose in accordance with this agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition to the Account Agreements, Disclosures and other documents in effect from time to time governing your Account.

(For our business customers we have a separate Cash Management service.)
“You” or “your” means each person who signs the Bill Pay Enrollment form or is otherwise authorized to use the Service. “Merchant” means anyone, including WCB, you designate and WCB accepts as a payee.
How to set up Merchants/Payments: Complete a bill pay enrollment form. If you want to add a new Merchant to your list of authorized payees, you can submit your request by using the “Add Merchant” button on the Internet or speak to a Subscriber Services Representative. You may add a new fixed payment to a Merchant, only if the Merchant is on your authorized list of payees, by accessing the Service and entering the appropriate information. Most other additions, deletions, or changes can be made in writing or by using the Service. WCB reserves the right to refuse the designation of a Merchant for any reason.
WCB is not responsible if the bill payment can not be made due to incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information provided by you regarding a Merchant or if you attempt to pay a Merchant that is not on your Authorized Payee list.
WCB will process variable payments on the business day (Monday through Friday, except holidays) you designate the bill is to be processed, provided the payment request is received prior to the cut-off time set by WCB, which is currently 2:00 p.m. MST. Variable bill requests received after the business day cut off time, or at any time on a non-business day will be processed on the next business day. WCB reserves its right to change the cut-off time by giving you notice if it changes.
FOR RECURRING PAYMENT REQUESTS, IF YOU DESIGNATE A PROCESSING DATE OF THE 28 TH THROUGH THE 31 ST OF A MONTH, PROCESSING WILL BE INITIATED ON THE LAST CALENDAR DAY OF THE MONTH. Otherwise, recurring payment requests will be processed on the dates you have designated, unless such date falls on a non-business day resulting in your payment being processed on the next business day.
Bill Payments are processed on the day you select as a Scheduled Payment Date. When scheduling Bill Payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the recommended time frame for delivery on Check payments (seven (7) Business Days) or Electronic payments (four (4) Business Days) before your actual Due Date. If the actual Due Date falls on a Non-business day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that adds a minimum of at least one (1) business day, more days are necessary for multi-day federal holidays, to the recommended time frame for delivery of Check and Electronic payments. Scheduled Payment Dates and recommended delivery times should be prior to any late date or grace period. WCB or the Bill Pay Service will not be responsible for any finance charges or penalties incurred for late payments that were due to invalid information entered by the user such as Merchant address or user account number at Merchant. The Service will be responsible for any charges to Merchants made in error by the Service. Due to circumstances beyond our control, some Merchants take longer to post payments than others. We suggest sending your first payment with more than enough time to post before the Due Date. After your first payment has posted you will have a better understanding of how much time to allow for each Merchant to receive the credit.

4. If through no fault of the Service, your account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account; and/or
5. You attempt to pay a Merchant that is not on your authorized Payee list.
Provided none of the foregoing circumstances are applicable, the Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a Bill Pay post after its Due Date as long as the Bill Pay was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under “The Bill Pay Process”.
You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in the account you designate in amounts sufficient to pay for all Bill Pay requested, as well as, any other payment obligations you have to WCB. WCB reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reserve a Bill Payment, if you fail to comply with this requirement or any other terms of this agreement. If you do not have sufficient funds in the Account and WCB has not exercised its right to reserve or reject a Bill Pay Service, you agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand. You further agree WCB, at its option, may charge any of your accounts with the Financial Institution to cover such payment obligations.
The Bill Pay Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Merchant.

You are liable for all transactions you make or that you authorize another person to make even if that person exceeds his or her authority. If you want to terminate another person’s authority, you must notify WCB and arrange to change your User ID and PIN. You will be responsible for any Bill Pay request you make that contains an error or is a duplicate of another Bill Payment. WCB is not responsible for a Bill Pay Service that is not made if you did not properly follow the instructions for making a bill payment. WCB is not liable for any failure to make a bill payment if you fail to promptly notify WCB after you learn that you have not received credit from a Merchant for a Bill Pay Service. WCB is not responsible for your acts or omissions or those of any other person, including, without limitation, any transmission or communications facility, and no such party shall be deemed to be WCB’s agent. In any event, WCB will not be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, or punitive losses, damages, or expenses in connection with this Agreement or the Service, even if WCB has knowledge of the possibility of them. WCB is not liable for any act, failure to act or delay in acting if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond WCB’s reasonable control.
WCB has the right to change this Agreement at any time by notice mailed to you at the last address shown for the Account on WCB’s records, or by posting notice on our Web Site, or as other wise permitted by law. WCB is not responsible for any payment made before WCB has a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice.
