Tell us AT
ONCE if you believe your online banking PIN has been lost or stolen or if you
believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission
using information from your check.
Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your
account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two (2)
business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or code, you can
lose no more that $50.00 if someone used your card or code without your
permission. If you do NOT tell us
within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card
or code, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your
card or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much
as $500.00. Also, if your statement
shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card code or
other means, tell us at once. If
you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you,
you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove
that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in
time. If a good reason (such as a
long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time
periods. If you believe that your card or code has been lost or stolen or that
someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your
permission, call (866) 658-5219, or write us at First South Bank,

from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement

If, through no fault or ours, you do not have enough money in your account to
make the transfer.

If
the money in your account is subject to legal process or other claim restricting
such transfer.

If
the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.

investigate your complaint or question.

your account for the amount you think is in error.
