Errors and Questions:

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers or payments, you should contact us in the following manners:

  1. Telephone us at 1-800-782-0521, 24 or
  2. E-mail us at customerservice@mhbank.com
  3. Write us at: Midwest Heritage Bank
    Internet Banking Dept.
    1025 Braden
    Chariton, Iowa 50049

(Note that this is a general error resolution policy, which also addresses some services that may not be part of your services.)

If you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt, let us know as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name, Designated Account number and bill payment account number.
  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us 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 within 10 business days.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days 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 transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction or a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days 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 10 business days, we may not credit your account.

We will tell you the results within three 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.

Automated Bill Payment Service:
You authorize us to follow the payment instructions that we receive through your use of the Midwest Heritage Bank Internet Banking Bill Payment service ("Bill Payment Service"). When we receive a payment instruction, you authorize a debit to your Designated Account with us on dates scheduled by you. The date a payee credits a payment depends upon the payee's payment processing procedures and any specific requirements for payments and delays. We will not be responsible for delays in crediting payments which are the result of these procedures, or your failure to follow a payee's payment requirements, or your failure to schedule a date to initiate sufficiently in advance of the date a payment is due, or delays in any mail service or other exceptions stated in this Agreement. You further agree to the following with respect to the Bill Payment Service:

  1. You agree to accurately follow product use instructions contained within the user guides and on-line Help.
  2. You agree to schedule bill payments (payment transaction date) prior to the due date. The system will provide you with an estimated delivery date based on whether a payee is paid electronically or by check. These time frames do not include any grace periods. Midwest Heritage Bank does not guarantee automated bill payments will be received on time, and you assume all liability for possible late charges incurred.
  3. You agree to provide payee name, address, account information and payment amount to expedite bill-paying services.
  4. You agree to maintain sufficient funds in your Designated Account or checking reserve account on the transaction payment date requested. Any transaction returned for insufficient funds (NSF) will be charged according to standard bank procedures as outlined in our account disclosures.
  5. You agree that internet banking may not be used to transmit alimony, child support or other court-directed payments or tax payments because the government does not necessarily accept third-party bill payments. Midwest Heritage Bank does not guarantee any payments made, or attempted to be made to a government agency.

Payment Deletion (Cancellation) for Non-Processed Payments:
A payment made using our Bill Payment service may be canceled the same day up until the 8 pm CT cutoff time and/or prior to the payment status showing Processing.

Unauthorized Transfers:
An "unauthorized transfer" is a transfer by a person who does not have actual, implied, or apparent permission, and is a transfer that does not benefit you. A transfer by a joint account holder or any other person with an interest in your account is not an unauthorized transfer. You will not be liable for unauthorized transfers except as explained in this Agreement.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfer:
Lost or Stolen Password/Code:

If your password or code has been lost or stolen, call Midwest Heritage Bank at 1-800-782-0521 during normal banking hours. Telephoning Midwest Heritage Bank is the best way of minimizing your losses. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you believe that your password or code has been lost or stolen and you tell us within 2 business days after you discover the password or code has been lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone uses your password or code without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of the password or code, and we can establish that we could have stopped someone from using your code if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.

You should not disclose your Personal Security Code, any user name or password selected by you for internet banking. These codes are for your personal use and should be kept confidential by you. We may require you to change these codes periodically. Contact us immediately if you believe someone has obtained your codes or may have access to your accounts without your permission.

Unauthorized Transfers on your Statement:
If your monthly statement contains transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days, if we can establish 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 may extend the time periods.

Limitation of Liability for Transfers which would include internal or external transfers and Bill Payments:
You agree that, except as expressly stated herein, there is no warranty of merchantability, no warranty of fitness for a particular use and no other warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the information or any aspect of the Services.

You further agree that we will not be held liable for failure to properly complete a transfer or bill payment in the following instances:

  1. If through no fault of Midwest Heritage Bank, you do not have sufficient funds in your account(s) to make the transfer or payment.
  2. If circumstances beyond our control prevents us from completing the transfer or payment despite reasonable precautions that have been taken.
  3. If there is a hold on your account, or if access to you account is blocked, in accordance with banking policy.
  4. If your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting the transfer.
  5. If your transfer or payment authorization terminates by operation of law.
  6. If you believe someone has accessed your account(s) without your permission and you fail to notify Midwest Heritage Bank as detailed in the Unauthorized Transfers section.
  7. If we received incomplete or inaccurate information from you or a third party involving the account transfer or payment.
  8. If we have a reasonable basis for believing that unauthorized use of your password or account(s) has occurred or may be occurring.
  9. If you are default of this Agreement and its terms and conditions or any other agreement you have with Midwest Heritage Bank.
  10. If a payee refuses to accept a payment.
  11. If you attempt to make alimony, child support or other court directed or tax payment.
  12. If we or you terminate this Agreement.

You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any losses resulting from circumstances over which we have no direct control, including, but not limited to, the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment, communication lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, operator error, log-in sequences, power outages, severe weather, earthquakes, floods or other such events deemed acts of God. Further, you acknowledge that there are other means and methods for accessing the information in your account(s) and conducting transactions. In the event that you should experience problems accessing the Services, you will attempt to access such information and conduct such transactions by alternative means and methods.

There may be other exceptions stated in this Agreement and with other agreements you have with Midwest Heritage Bank. In no event shall we be liable for any damages in excess of your actual loss due to our failure to complete a transfer. In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

In any of the circumstances listed above in items 2 or 7 should occur we shall assist you with reasonable efforts in taking appropriate corrective action to reprocess the transaction(s) that may have been processed.

Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties:
We may disclose information about you, your Designated Account or transactions on your Designated Account as provided in our Consumer Products and Services Disclosure. We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: 1) where it is necessary for completing transfers; 2) in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or 3) in order to comply with government agency or court orders; or 4) if you give us written permission.

External transfer terms and use:
We allow one external transfer per day and three external transfers per month.  The cutoff time to complete an external transfer is 6:00 pm CT.  Please see fee schedule for a per item fee that will be charged.  If you have any questions please contact customer service at 1-800-782-0521 or talk to a bank representative.  External transfer implementation is a three day process.  You will need the external account number, financial institution name and the routing number to initiate the verification process.  During this process we will make two deposits to and one withdrawal from the external account.  You will need to verify the amounts of the test deposits and withdrawal to complete the verification process.  Qualified transaction accounts will have a $5,000 limit per day and per transfer.  Each external transfer will be processed as an ACH transaction and NACHA rules will apply. Once an external transfer has been processed we are not able to cancel the transfer. 

Forgotten Password Procedure:
In the event that you are unable to remember your assigned password, you will have three (3) opportunities to correctly log onto the Services. If after three you are still unable to recall your password, please call Midwest Heritage Bank at 1-800-782-0521. If you are still unable to log onto the Services, you will be re-assigned a temporary password randomly generated password by Midwest Heritage Bank.

Business Day shall be defined as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We will have a reasonable time to act on your e-mail.

For example; if you need to cancel a payment that is scheduled to occur, or if you need to report the loss or theft of your password. Midwest Heritage Bank makes every attempt to accommodate communication from our clients in various formats, but discourages the use of email correspondence for communication regarding your accounts which includes personal identifying information.
