eSign Agreement


ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN GLOBAL AND NATIONAL COMMERCE ACT (ESIGN) AGREEMENT
Summary

Here at Rio Grande Credit Union, we want to provide you with as many convenient options as possible. One convenience is the electronic delivery of disclosures, transactions, form submissions, and account requests. We are required by law to provide certain documents to you at certain times. You are entitled to receive these documents “in writing,” and we also have the ability to provide them electronically with your prior consent.

In this consent:

  • “We,” “us,” “our,” “RGCU” and “Rio Grande” means Rio Grande Credit Union.
  • “You” and “your” means the person giving this consent, and also each additional account owner, authorized signer, authorized representative, delegate, product owner and/or service user identified on any Rio Grande Product that you apply for, use or access.
  • “Communications” means each disclosure, notice, agreement, fee schedule, statement, record, document and other information we provide to you, or that you sign or submit or agree to at our request.
  • “Electronic Service” means each and every product and service we offer that you apply for, use, administer or access using the Internet, a website, email, messaging services (including text messaging) and/or software applications (including applications for mobile or hand-held devices), either now or in the future.
  • “Rio Grande Product” means each and every account, product or service we offer that you apply for, own, use, administer or access, either now or in the future. Rio Grande Products include Electronic Services.
  • The words “include” and “including,” when used at the beginning of a list of one or more items, indicates that the list contains examples – the list is not exclusive or exhaustive, and the items in the list are only illustrations. They are not the only possible items that could appear in the list.
Your Consent to Use Electronic Records and Signatures

In our sole discretion, the Communications we provide to you, or that you sign or agree to at our request, may be in electronic form (“Electronic Records”). We may also use electronic signatures and obtain them from you as part of our transactions with you. Electronic Records may be delivered to you in a variety of ways.

Sometimes the law, or our agreement with you, requires you to give us a written notice. You must still provide these notices to us on paper, unless we specifically tell you in another Communication how you may deliver that notice to us electronically.

There are certain Communications that by law we are not permitted to deliver to you electronically, even with your consent. So long as required by law, we will continue to deliver those Communications to you in writing. However, if the law changes in the future and permits any of those Communications to be delivered as Electronic Records, this consent will automatically cover those Communications as well.

Right to Receive Paper Copies of Documents

If we provide Electronic Records to you, and you want a paper copy, you may contact the appropriate member service unit and request a paper version. You will find the appropriate contact information in the account statement or agreement for the Rio Grande Product related to the Electronic Record. You may have to pay a fee for the paper copy unless charging a fee is prohibited by applicable law. Please refer to the applicable agreement for any fee that may apply for paper copies.

Consent Coverage; Privacy Policy

Your consent covers all Communications relating to any Rio Grande Product. Your consent remains in effect until you give us notice that you are withdrawing it.

From time to time, you may seek to obtain a new Rio Grande Product from us. When you do, we may remind you that you have already given us your consent to use Electronic Records and signatures. If you decide not to use Electronic Records and signatures in connection with the new product or service, your decision does not mean you have withdrawn this consent for any other Rio Grande Product.

You agree that we may satisfy our obligation to provide you with a periodic copy of our Privacy Policy by keeping it available for review on www.RioGrandeCU.org, or, with prior notice to you, on another website where we offer Electronic Services.

You May Withdraw Your Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please be aware, however, that withdrawal of consent may result in the termination of:

  • Your access to our Electronic Services, including online banking, and
  • Your ability to use certain Rio Grande Products.

Your withdrawal of consent will become effective after we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon it.

If you are receiving online account statements, the termination will cause paper statements to be mailed to you via the U.S. Postal Service or other courier. Depending on the specific Rio Grande Product, if you withdraw consent we may charge higher or additional fees for that product or for services related to it. Please refer to the applicable agreement for any fee that may apply.

To withdraw your consent, contact us at 505-262-1401 or contact us by mail:

Rio Grande Credit Union
301 Rio Bravo Blvd. SE
Albuquerque, NM 87105

You Must Keep Your Email or Electronic Address Current

You must promptly notify us of any change in your email or other electronic address. You may change the email address on record for you by going online or contacting us at 505-262-1401. There may be other special Rio Grande Products for which we provide separate instructions to update your email or other electronic address.

Hardware and Software Requirements

To receive Electronic Records, you must have access to:

  • Up-to-date version of an Internet browser we support, or if accessing your Account through our mobile applications, one of the following operating systems: Apple iOS 6.0 or later or Android OS 2.3 or later;

You must also have an active email address.

In some cases, you may also need a specific brand or type of device that can support a particular software application, including an application intended for particular mobile or handheld devices. We reserve the right to discontinue support of a current version of software if, in our sole opinion, it suffers from a security flaw or other flaw that makes it unsuitable for use with Online Banking.

Changes to Hardware and Software Requirements

If our hardware or software requirements change, and that change would create a material risk that you would not be able to access or retain your Electronic Records, we will give you notice of the revised hardware or software requirements. Continuing to use Electronic Services after receiving notice of the change is reaffirmation of your consent.

By providing your consent, you are also confirming that you have the hardware and software described above, that you are able to receive and review electronic records and that you have an active email account. You are also confirming that you are authorized to, and do, consent on behalf of all the other account owners, authorized signers, authorized representatives, delegates, product owners and/or service users identified with your Rio Grande Products.

Funds Availability Policy


FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE

THIS DISCLOSURE DESCRIBES YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS FROM TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS AT RIO GRANDE CREDIT UNION. YOU SHOULD ALSO REFER TO THE SECTION OF THESE AGREEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES THAT DESCRIBES THE DETAILS OF YOUR SPECIFIC ACCOUNT TYPE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Your Ability To Withdraw Funds. Our policy is to delay the availability of funds from Your cash and check deposits. During the delay, You may not withdraw the funds in cash and We will not use the funds to pay checks that You have written.

Determining the Availability Of A Deposit. The length of the delay is counted in business days from the day of Your deposit. Every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 5:00 p.m. on a business day that We are open, We will consider that day to be the day of Your deposit. However, if You make a deposit after 4:59 p.m. (Mountain Time) or on a day We are not open, We will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day We are open. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below.

Same-Day Availability

Funds from the following deposits will be available on the day We receive the deposit:

  • Funds from electronic direct deposits to Your Account will be available on the day We receive the deposit.
  • U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to You.
  • Wire transfers.
  • Checks drawn on Us.
  • Cash.
  • State and local government checks that are payable to You.
  • Cashier's, certified, and teller's checks that are payable to You.
  • Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks, and postal money orders, if these items are payable to You.

Other Checks

The first $225.00 from a deposit of other checks will be available on the 1st business day after the day of Your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the 2nd business day after the day of your deposit. For example, if you deposit a $700.00 check on a Monday, $225.00 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $475.00 is available on Wednesday.

Longer Delays May Apply. Funds You deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • We believe a check You deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525.00 on any one day.
  • You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn Your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment.

We will notify You if We delay Your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and We will tell You when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the 7th business day following the day of Your deposit. In any case, We reserve the right to refuse an item for deposit or encashment.

ATM Deposits. For deposits made at Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) not owned and operated by the Credit Union, deposits subject to delayed availability will become available for withdrawal on the 5th business day following the day of deposit. All ATMs that We own or operate are identified as Our machines.

Holds on Other Funds. If We cash a check for You that is drawn on another institution, We may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in Your Account. Those funds will be available to You at the time that the funds from the check We cashed for You would have been available if You had deposited it. If We accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another institution, We may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay Your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that You have on deposit in another account with Us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this policy for the type of check that You deposited.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If You are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 calendar days Your Account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to Your Account will be available on the day We receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525.00 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, tellers, and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the 1st business day after the day of Your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to You. The excess over $5,525.00 will be available on the 9th business day after the day of Your deposit. If Your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525.00 will not be available until the 2nd business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the 9th business after the day of Your deposit.

Location of Check Endorsements. Federal law requires all check endorsements to be in the first 1-1/2 inches of the trailing edge of the back of the check. The trailing edge is opposite the left side of the face of the check, the side of the check just behind Our address. You will be responsible for any costs incurred by Us due to delays in returning checks deposited into Your Account that do not comply with the endorsement standards.

Dividend Payment Policy. See the Account Disclosures section in your Membership Agreement on the payment of dividends.
