II. Description of Services

With External Loan Payments, you may draft a checking account from another financial institution to pay a Tidemark FCU Loan. Once your account with us has terminated for any reason, you will have no further right or access to use the Service. Any member who is authorized to view loan accounts using the Consumer Online Banking system are eligible for this service.

III. Transaction Limits

We have the right, at any time, to set dollar limits on daily and monthly transactions. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, the system will not allow you the ability to continue.

IV. Eligible Items

You are able to submit payments to any Tidemark FCU Loan visible to you within Online Banking.

VI. Receipt of Deposit

Deposits will be received by us electronically via an ACH file. Any confirmation from us that we have received the file does not mean that the file contains no errors. We are not responsible for any files that we do not receive. Following receipt, we will process the deposit by processing the file. Tidemark FCU reserves the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any file for External Loan Payments into your loan account. We will notify you of rejected files.

VII. Returned Payments

Any credit to your loan account is provisional. If the original payment is dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned by the receiving bank for payment or is rejected or returned by any commitment for the collecting bank that is obtaining the draft payment, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to debiting funds, you agree that the provisional credit to the loan account will be reversed. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item.

VIII. Your Warranties

You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each payment.

  • Each payment is a true and accurate account.

You will use this system for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You warrant that you will only transmit acceptable items for payments and in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
