Ownership of Cards:

The conversion rate will be determined in accordance with the operating regulations established by Visa International. Currently the currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollars is generally either a government-mandated rate or the wholesale rate in effect the day before the transaction processing date, increased by one percentage point. The currency conversion rate used on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.

Member Liability:
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Check Card has been lost or stolen or if you believe someone as used your Check Card or PIN or otherwise accessed your accounts without your authority. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could loose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If a transaction was made with your Check Card or Check Card number without your permission, and was a Visa transaction, you will have no liability for the transaction, unless you were grossly negligent in the handling of your account or Check Card. For ATM transactions, if you were grossly negligent in the handling of your account or Check Card, your liability for an unauthorized transaction is determined as follows:

If you tell us within two (2) business days you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Check Card without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Check Card, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Check Card without your permission if you had told us, you could loose as much as $500.00.

Also, if your statement shows transfer that you did not make, 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 making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
