Account Ownership Descriptions.

Individual Account. The named party in an individual account owns the account and may withdraw all or some of the account. On the death of the party, ownership passes as part of the party's estate.

In Trust For Account. An In Trust For account permits the account owners (trustee(s)) to transfer the account (trust) funds to named beneficiaries. You may designate primary and contingent beneficiaries otherwise all beneficiaries will be treated as primary. If two or more trustees create an In Trust For account, then between the trustees, the account is treated as a joint account with right of survivorship. The trustee(s) may change the named beneficiaries at any time by written direction in a form acceptable to us. The trustee(s) may withdraw all or part of the funds at any time. Such payment or withdrawal shall constitute a revocation of the trust for the amount withdrawn. A beneficiary can only acquire withdrawal rights by surviving all of the trustees. If more than one named primary beneficiary survives all of the trustees, then such beneficiaries will be entitled to equal shares of the funds without right of survivorship between them, unless otherwise indicated. If no primary beneficiary survives all of the trustees then any surviving contingent beneficiaries will be entitled to equal shares of the funds without right of survivorship between them, unless otherwise indicated. If no contingent beneficiary survives all of the trustees then the trust shall terminate and title to the account shall VEST in the trustees. In that case, it will be treated as an individual account (if there is one surviving trustee) or as a joint account with right of survivorship (if there is more than one surviving trustee) in the name(s) of the surviving trustees, rather than an In Trust For account.

Payable On Death Account. A Payable On Death account permits the account owner(s) to transfer the account to named beneficiaries. You may designate primary and contingent beneficiaries. Named beneficiaries are assumed to be primary unless indicated as contingent. If two or more account owners create a Payable On Death account, then between the account owners, the account is treated as a joint account with right of survivorship. The account owner(s) may withdraw all or part of the funds at any time. The account owner(s) may change the named beneficiaries at any time by written direction in a form acceptable to us. A beneficiary can only acquire withdrawal rights by surviving all of the account owners. If more than one named beneficiary survives all of the account owners, then the beneficiaries will be entitled to equal shares of the funds without right of survivorship, unless otherwise indicated. If no beneficiary survives all of the account owners, then the account shall be treated as an individual account (if there is one surviving account owner) or as a joint account with right of survivorship (if there is more than one surviving account owner). In that case, the account will be in the name(s) of the surviving account owner(s), rather than a Payable On Death Account.

Joint With Right of Survivorship Account. The joint tenants (account owners) agree that all funds deposited now or in the future in this account shall be held as joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common. On the death of a joint tenant, ownership in the account passes to the surviving joint tenant or tenants. If there is more than one surviving joint tenant, then the account shall continue to be held as a joint account with survivorship. When there is only one surviving account owner, the account shall be treated as an individual account.

Joint Without Right of Survivorship Account. The tenants (account owners) agree that all funds deposited now or in the future in this account shall be held as tenants with no survivorship and as tenants in common. On the death of a tenant, the deceased party's ownership in the account passes as a part of the party's estate under the party's will, trust, or by intestacy. If there is more than one surviving tenant, then between the surviving tenants, the account shall continue to be held as a joint account without right of survivorship. When there is only one surviving tenant, the account shall be treated as an individual account.

Tenancy By The Entirety. The joint account (account owners) agree that all funds deposited now or in the future in this account shall be held as a tenancy by the entirety. There is a right of survivorship between the two joint tenants and the account is not held as tenants in common. The account owners have indicated that they are married to each other. Upon the death of a joint tenant, the account balance shall become the property of the surviving joint tenant and thereafter be treated as an individual account.

Accounts for Minors. If an account is established for a minor as a joint account with an owner who has reached the age of majority in accordance with state law, they are jointly and severally liable to us for any returned Item, overdraft, or unpaid amount on such account and for any related fees and charges. We may pay funds directly to the minor regardless of their age. Unless a parent or guardian is an account owner, the parent or guardian will not have access to the account. We have no duty to inquire about the use or purpose of any transaction except as required by applicable law. We may not change the account status when the minor reaches the age of majority unless the change is authorized in writing by all account owners.

Your Choice of Account. You have instructed us as to the title and type of the account that you have chosen. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to determine the full legal effect of opening and maintaining the type of account you have chosen. We have not set forth all laws that may impact your chosen account. For example, there are conditions that may need to be satisfied before transferring accounts due to death or other events as well as reductions to an account required or permitted by law. You must determine whether the account you select is appropriate for your current and future needs. Except as required by law, we assume no legal responsibility to inform you as to the effect of your account choice on your legal interests.

Authorization To Obtain Information. You authorize us to check your account, credit and employment history, and obtain reports from third parties, including credit and consumer reporting agencies, to verify your eligibility for the account, products and services you request and for other accounts, products, or services we may offer you or for which you may qualify.

Transfers and Assignments. We may assign or transfer any or all of our interest in this account. You cannot assign or transfer any interest in your account unless we agree in writing.

Financial Exploitation. As permitted by law, we may act or decline to act to prevent, stop, or mitigate financial exploitation of an adult. For example, we may (1) delay, decline, or place a hold on a transaction or disbursement involving the adult; (2) approve or deny other requests or modifications to the account, such as a transfer of funds, change in ownership, or change in beneficiaries; or (3) notify a third party of the financial exploitation. We will not be liable for the actions we take on the account if we acted in good faith and exercised reasonable care. For purposes of this section, "adult" means vulnerable adult, elder adult, senior adult, eligible adult, or other person as defined by applicable law.

Authorized Signer (Agent) Designation. If you have designated an agent, your named agent may make account transactions for you but has no ownership or rights at death unless named as a POD (pay on death) beneficiary or named as an In Trust For (ITF) beneficiary, if applicable. If you have designated that the agent shall continue to have power after your disability or incapacity, the agent's authority survives your disability or incapacity. The agent may act for a disabled or incapacitated party until the authority of the agent is terminated. If you have noted that the agent shall not have power after your disability or incapacity, the agent's authority terminates upon your disability or incapacity. If you failed to specify whether or not the agent's authority survives or instead terminates upon your disability or incapacity, the authority will be presumed to survive your disability or incapacity. Death of the sole party or last surviving party terminates the authority of the agent. We may continue to rely on the agency designation to the extent permitted by law, until we have proper notice of an event of termination and have had a reasonable period of time to act upon it.

Community Property. When the account is a joint account between two parties authorized by law to hold community property together and the account is titled as joint tenants with right of survivorship, the account will be owned by the parties who fund the account with community property and hold the property with right of survivorship. Upon the death of either party, the property will vest in and belong to the surviving party. If the account is titled without an indication that it is owned as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, the account will be owned by the parties and all property in the account, including earnings, will be held as community property without right of survivorship; and upon the death of either party, one-half of the property will vest in and belong to the estate of the deceased party. If you are residing in a community property state, you and your spouse may be required to complete additional documentation if your spouse is not an account owner on the joint account or designated as your primary beneficiary on the account.

Multiple Account Owners. If there is more than one account owner for your account, all deposits are the property of the person(s) indicated on the account. We may release all or any part of the amount in the account to honor checks, orders, or other items, or withdrawals or requests from any person named on this account. However, the number of required signatures must be met. Any person named on the account is liable for an amount equal to the overdrawn balance plus any overdraft fees regardless of whether he or she signed the item or benefited from the proceeds of the item. Upon receiving written notice from any person named on the account, we may freeze the account. The account may be frozen until we receive written notice, signed by all parties named in the account, as to the disposition of funds. We may also freeze the account upon receipt of notice of the death or incapacity of an account owner until we have received all necessary documentation to establish to whom payment should be made. We may use the funds to satisfy a debt or judgment of any person named on this account if ordered to do so by a court of law.

Power of Attorney. If you wish to name another person to act as your attorney in fact or agent in connection with your account, we must approve the form of appointment.

Transaction Limitations. We limit the number of transfers or withdrawals you can make on a money market account. You understand that we will not allow more transfers or withdrawals than the maximum number specified in these Terms, and we may close your account, take away your ability to transfer funds, charge you a fee, or convert the account to a checking or other transaction account if the restriction is violated.

Restrictive Legends. We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in writing signed by an officer of the Bank. Examples of restrictive legends are "two signatures required", "must be presented within 90 days", or "not valid for more than $1,000.00."

Stale or Postdated Checks. We reserve the right to pay or dishonor a check more than six (6) months old without prior notice to you. If you can write checks on your account, you agree not to postdate any check drawn on the account. If you do, and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may pay it or return it unpaid. We are not liable for paying any stale or postdated check. Any damages you incur that we may be liable for are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check.

Preauthorized Checks or Drafts. You should guard information about your account (such as your routing number and your account number) as carefully as you would guard blank checks. If you voluntarily give such information about your account to a party which is seeking to sell you goods or services, without physically delivering a check to that party, any debit to or withdrawal from your account it initiates will be deemed authorized by you.

Verifying Funds Availability For Check. You authorize us to release funds availability information about your account to individuals or merchants who represent to us that they have received a check from you.

Check Safekeeping. If you can write checks on your account and utilize a check safekeeping system or any other system offered by us for the retention of your checks, you understand that the canceled checks will be retained by us and destroyed after a reasonable time period or as required by law. Any request for a copy of a check may be subject to a fee indicated in the Fee Schedule included in these Terms or other disclosures and as allowed by law. If for any reason we cannot provide you with a copy of a check, our liability will be limited to the lesser of the face amount of the check or the actual damages sustained by you.

Your Responsibility For Back of Check. All negotiable paper ("checks") presented for deposit must be in a format that can be processed and we may refuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement. All endorsements on the reverse side of any check deposited into your account must be placed on the left side of the check when looking at it from the front, and the endorsements must be placed so as not to go beyond an area located 1-½ inches from the left edge of the check when looking at it from the front. It is your responsibility to ensure that these requirements are met and you are responsible for any loss incurred by us for failure of an endorsement to meet this requirement.

Electronic Checks and Electronically-Created Items. Pursuant to Regulation CC, electronic checks may be treated the same as paper checks for check collection and processing purposes. See the Substitute Checks section for more information.
Electronically-created items ("ECI") are check-like items created in electronic form that never existed in paper form. For example, you set up automatic bill payments with us to pay your utility bill. From your account information, we create an ECI that is sent to your utility company for payment. An ECI cannot be used to create a substitute check since it never existed in paper form.

Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These substitute checks are similar in size to the original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. An electronic check can be used to create a substitute check since the electronic image and electronic information was derived from its paper form.

Remote Deposit Capture. Remote deposit capture ("RDC") allows you to make deposits to your account from remote locations by electronically transmitting digital images of your original paper checks, which are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions in United States dollars to us. We may then use the digital image to create an electronic check or substitute check for collection. If you use our RDC services, if applicable, we may require you to endorse the back of the paper check to indicate that it has been remotely deposited. For example, "for mobile deposit only" or "for mobile deposit at Burke & Herbert Bank only."

Remotely Created Checks. A remotely created check, as defined in Regulation CC, means a check that is not created by the paying bank and that does not bear a signature applied, or purported to be applied, by the person on whose account the check is drawn. By having a deposit account with us, you certify that all remotely created checks deposited to your account(s) will be expressly and verifiably authorized by the payer. And we reserve the rights to refuse for deposit any such remotely created check if we have any reason to believe that the check is fraudulent in any manner and to obtain from you the payer's express, verifiable authorization for any such check.

Withdrawals. Deposits will be available for withdrawal consistent with these Terms or other disclosures. Withdrawals may be subject to a service charge.

Deposits. Deposits may be made in person, by mail, or in another form and manner as agreed by us in our sole discretion. We are not responsible for transactions mailed until we actually receive and record them. We may in our sole discretion refuse to accept particular instruments as a deposit to your account. Cash deposits are credited to your account according to these Terms. Other items you deposit are handled by us according to our usual collection practices. If an item you deposit is returned unpaid, we will debit your account for the item and adjust any interest earned. You are liable to us for the amount of any check you deposit to your account that is returned unpaid and all costs and expenses related to the collection of all or part of such amount from you. Funds deposited to your account, excluding any Time Deposit accounts, are available in accordance with the Disclosures.

Collection of Deposited Items. In receiving items for deposit or collection, we act only as your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. All items are credited subject to final settlement in cash or credits. We shall have the right to forward items to correspondents including all Federal Reserve Banks, and we shall not be liable for default or neglect of said correspondents for loss in transit, nor shall any correspondent be liable except for its own negligence. You specifically authorize us or our correspondents to utilize Federal Reserve Banks to handle such items in accordance with provisions of Regulation J (12 CFR Part 210), as revised or amended from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board. In the event we are subject to local clearing house rules, you specifically authorize us to handle such items in accordance with the rules and regulations of the clearing house.
If we permit you to withdraw funds from your account before final settlement has been made for any deposited item, and final settlement is not made, we have the right to charge your account or obtain a refund from you. In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights. Except as may be attributable to our lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, we will not be liable for dishonor resulting from any reversal of credit, return of deposited items or for any damages resulting from any of those actions.

Statements. We will provide you with a periodic statement showing the account activity. The last address you supply us in writing will be deemed the proper address for mailing this statement to you. The account owner who receives this statement is the agent for his/her co-account owner(s) for purposes of receiving the statement and items. You must exercise reasonable care in reviewing your statement and reasonable promptness in notifying us of any discrepancies, such as alterations or forged or unauthorized signatures, even if by the same wrongdoer. Reasonable promptness will not exist if you fail to notify us within 30 days after we mail or otherwise make the statement available to you. If you fail to notify us of any discrepancies, with reasonable promptness, your right to assert such discrepancies will be barred or limited to the extent permitted by law. Additionally, you agree that we will not be liable for discrepancies reported to us after one year after we mail or otherwise make the statement or items available to you, even if we failed to exercise ordinary care. However, if the discrepancy is the result of an electronic fund transfer, the In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Transactions provision in the Electronic Funds Transfer Policy as included in these Terms will control its resolution. If you do not receive a statement from us because you have failed to claim it or have supplied us with an incorrect address, we may stop sending your statements until you specifically make written request that we resume sending your statements and you supply us with a proper address.

Electronic Statements and Notices. You may have the option to have statements and notices regarding this account provided to you in an electronic form, including to a designated e-mail address, through an online banking portal, or other electronic method, upon your authorization. The authorization may be withdrawn at any time to return to a mailed paper form by providing written notice to us at the address provided. The fees for receiving in either form, and for receiving paper copies, are described in these Terms or other disclosures.

ACH and Wire Transfers. This Agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code - Funds Transfers as adopted in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If you send or receive a wire transfer, you agree that Fedwire® Funds Service may be used. Federal Reserve Board Regulation J is the law that covers transactions made over Fedwire® Funds Service. When you originate a funds transfer for which Fedwire® Funds Service is used, and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named.

If you are a party to an Automated Clearing House ("ACH") entry, you agree that we may transmit an entry through the ACH, and you agree to be bound by the National Automated Clearing House Association ("Nacha") Operating Rules and Guidelines, the rules of any local ACH, and the rules of any other systems through which the entry is made.

Provisional Payment. Credit we give you is provisional until we receive final settlement for that entry. If we do not receive final settlement, you agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with the entry, and the party making payment to you via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry.

International ACH Transactions. If your transaction originates from a financial agency that is outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, it may be subject to additional review for compliance with the rules of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If additional review is required, the International ACH transaction will not be available to you until it passes final verification.

Notice of Receipt. We will not provide you with notice of our receipt of the order, unless we are so requested by the transfer originator in the order. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements we provide to you.

Choice of Law. We may accept on your behalf payments to your account which have been transmitted, that are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of Virginia.

Direct Deposits. We may offer direct deposit services, including preauthorized deposits (e.g., payroll checks, Social Security or retirement checks, or other government checks) or preauthorized transfers from other accounts. If your account is overdrawn, you authorize us to deduct the amount of the overdraft from any deposit, including deposits of government payments or benefits. If we are required to reimburse the U.S. government for any benefit payment directly deposited into your account, we may deduct the amount returned from any of your accounts, unless prohibited by law.

Stop Payments.

Stop Payment on Checks. You may stop payment on a check drawn against your account by a record or written order or other confirmation as allowed by us, provided that we receive the Stop Payment Order in a time and manner that gives us a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The Stop Payment Order must describe the check or account with reasonable certainty. Oral requests for a Stop Payment Order are binding on us for 14 calendar days only and must be confirmed by you in a record or writing within that period. If the record or written confirmation is not received as specified, we will no longer be bound by your request. Upon receipt of confirmation in a record or writing, a Stop Payment Order on a check remains in effect for 6 months or until we receive a record or writing revoking the Stop Payment Order, whichever occurs first. If the check on which a Stop Payment Order has been placed has not cleared or been returned to you by the payee, you may renew the Stop Payment Order for an additional six months by providing a request to us in a record or writing within the time period the Stop Payment Order is in effect. You understand that we may accept the Stop Payment Order request from any of the authorized signers of the account regardless of who signed the check.
We have a daily cutoff time by which we must receive any knowledge, notice, Stop Payment Order, set-off or legal process affecting our right or duty to pay a check. That cutoff time is one hour after the opening of your branch's banking day, following the banking day on which your branch received the check.

Stop Payment on ACH Debits. A Stop Payment Order may be placed on either a one-time debit transfer or on a multiple debit entry transfer. If you request a Stop Payment Order on an Electronic Check Conversion or other one-time debit transfer, we must receive the request, orally or in a record or writing, in a period of time that provides us a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to acting on the debit entry, otherwise the Stop Payment Order shall be of no effect. If you requested a stop payment on a multiple debit entry transfer, we must receive the Stop Payment Order, orally or in a record or writing, at least three business days before a scheduled multiple debit entry. Oral stop payment orders are binding on us for 14 calendar days only and must be confirmed by you in a record or writing within that period. A Stop Payment Order on an ACH debit will remain in effect until the earlier of 1) your withdrawal of the Stop Payment Order, or 2) the return of the debit entry, or, where a Stop Payment Order is applied to more than one debit entry under a specific authorization involving a specific payee (Originator), the return of all such debits. When a stop is placed on a multiple debit entry transfer, we may require your confirmation in a record or writing stating that you have canceled your authorization for the transfer with the payee (a Stop Payment Order does not revoke authorization).

The Stop Payment Order shall be governed by the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code 4A in effect in the state in which we are located, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E), Nacha, and any applicable state law.
You may be charged a fee every time you request a Stop Payment Order, and for each Stop Payment Order renewal you make. A release of the Stop Payment Order may be made by the person who initiated the stop payment request or any of the authorized signers on the account. Our acceptance of a stop payment request does not constitute a representation by us that the item has not already been paid or that we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on the request.

Death or Incompetency. Neither your death nor a legal adjudication of incompetence revokes our authority to accept, pay, or collect items until we know of the fact of death or of an adjudication of incompetence and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. To the extent permitted by law, even with knowledge, we may for 10 days after the date of death, pay checks drawn on or before the date of death unless ordered to stop payment by a person claiming an interest in the account.

Non-Sufficient Funds and Overdrafts - Actual (Ledger) Balance.

How We Decide To Pay An Item or Debit. We use an actual (ledger) balance method to determine whether there are sufficient funds in your account to pay a debit transaction or item. The actual (ledger) balance method calculates your account balance only based on transactions that have settled, and it does not reflect pending transactions or checks that have not posted to your account. For example, you have $100 in your account and a pending transaction of $30. Your actual (ledger) balance is $100 because the pending $30 transaction does not reduce your actual (ledger) account balance until it posts to your account.

How We Assess Fees. If there are insufficient funds to pay a debit transaction or item based on your actual (ledger) balance, we may either: 1) return the debit or item or 2) pay the debit or item at our discretion. We may charge you fees if we return the debit or item or pay the debit or item on your behalf.

Return Item For Non-Sufficient Funds. If we do not pay the debit transaction or item on your behalf and return the debit or item, we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. Pursuant to Nacha and other applicable laws, a debit or item may be presented for payment more than one time. We may charge you non-sufficient funds fees for each resubmission of a debit or re-presentation of an item, which means you may incur multiple non-sufficient funds fees if a debit or item is returned more than one time. For example, you write a check from your account with us. The check is returned for non-sufficient funds, and we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees. The same check is then re-presented to us for payment, and the check is returned again for non-sufficient funds. We may charge you non-sufficient funds fees the second time the check is presented for payment and returned for non-sufficient funds.

Overdrafts. If we pay the debit transaction or item on your behalf, you will be responsible for the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees.

Signatures. You authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, orders, or other items for the payment of money, that are drawn on us regardless of by whom or by what means (including facsimile signature(s)) your signature may have been affixed so long as the signature resembles the signature specimen in our files. For withdrawal and other purposes relating to any account you have with us, we are authorized to recognize your signature; and we will not be liable to you for refusing to honor signed instruments or instructions if we believe in good faith that one or more of the signatures appearing on the instrument or instructions is not genuine.
If your items are signed using any facsimile signature or non-manual form of signature, you acknowledge that it is solely for your benefit and convenience. You agree that no facsimile signature you have authorized us to honor may be considered a forgery or an unauthorized signature, and that every authorized facsimile signature shall be effective as the signatory's own original, manual signature. You accept sole responsibility for maintaining security over any device affixing the signature as such signature will be effective regardless of whether the person affixing it was authorized to do so. Your authorization notwithstanding, we are not obligated to accept or pay any items bearing facsimile signatures.
Further, most checks, and other items are processed automatically, i.e., without individual review of each item. Therefore, unless we agree in a separate writing, in our sole discretion, upon your request and due to unique circumstances to conduct individual review of each item, you agree that we are acting within common and reasonable banking practices by automatically processing checks, and other items, i.e., without individual review of each check, or item. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against all loss, costs, damage, liability, and other injury (including reasonable attorney fees) that you or we may suffer or incur as a result of this practice.

Payment of Interest. Interest will be calculated and paid in accordance with these Terms or other disclosures provided to you at the time you opened the account.

Fees, Service Charges and Balance Requirements. You agree to pay us and are responsible for any fees, charges, or balance/deposit requirements included in these Terms. Fees, charges, and balance requirements may change from time to time. We also reserve the right to impose a service charge for cashing checks drawn on your account if the person cashing the check is not a customer of this Bank.

Special Account Instructions. You may request that we facilitate certain trust, will, or court-ordered account arrangements. However, because we do not give legal advice, we cannot counsel you as to which account arrangement most appropriately meets the specific requirements of your trust, will, or court order. If you ask us to follow any instructions that we believe might expose us to claims, lawsuits, expenses, liabilities, or damages, whether directly or indirectly, we may refuse to follow your instructions or may require you to indemnify us or provide us with other protection. We may require that account changes requested by any account owner, such as adding or closing an account or service, be evidenced by a signed document that evidences a change to an account and accepted by us. You and any surviving owner or beneficiary agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim or liability asserted against us as a result of the disposition of funds in reliance on these Terms and any account designations of yours.

Withdrawal Notice Requirements. We have the right to require seven days prior written notice from you of your intent to withdraw any funds from your account.

Set-Offs and Security Interests. If you ever owe us money as a borrower, guarantor, or otherwise, and it becomes due, we have the right under the law (called "set-off") and under these Terms (by which you grant us a security interest in your deposit account and any other accounts held by you) to use your account funds to pay the debt, where permitted by law. If your account is held jointly, that is, if there is more than one account owner, we may offset funds for the debt of any one of the joint owners. Similarly, we may also set-off funds from the individual accounts of any one of the joint owners to satisfy obligations or debts in the joint account. The security interest granted by this Agreement is consensual and is in addition to our right of set-off.

Claims. In response to any garnishment, attachment, restraining order, injunction, levy, citation to discover assets, judgment, reclamation, other order of court, or other legal process ("Claim(s)"), we have the right to place a hold on, remove from your account(s) and/or remit to the designated third party(ies) any amount on deposit in your account(s) as set forth in and required by such Claim(s). If the account(s) is/are held jointly, we may place the hold, remove from the account(s) and/or remit the amounts from the account(s) arising from any Claim(s) relating to any one or more of the account owners. In addition, we may charge against your account(s) any fee authorized by law in connection with the Claim(s) or as otherwise set forth in these Terms or other disclosures.

Dormant/Inactive Accounts. You understand that we may charge you fees if your account is dormant or inactive and cease any interest payments to the extent permitted by the law. You agree that we are relieved of all responsibility if your account balance is escheated (that is, turned over to the state) in accordance with state law.

Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. You agree to be liable to us for any loss, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law, that we incur as a result of any dispute involving your account, and you authorize us to deduct any such loss, costs or expense from your account without prior notice to you. This obligation includes disputes between yourself and us involving the account and situations where we become involved in disputes between you and an authorized signer, another joint owner, or a third party claiming an interest in the account. It also includes situations where you, an authorized signer, another joint owner, or a third party takes action with respect to the account that causes us, in good faith, to seek the advice of counsel, whether or not we actually become involved in a dispute.

Legal Process Against Account. You agree to be responsible for, to reimburse us, and/or have your account charged for any expenses or reasonable attorney fees we incur due to an attachment, garnishment, levy or subpoena of records of your account. Any garnishment or other levy against your account is subject to our right of set-off and security interest. We may restrict the use of your account if it is involved in any legal proceeding.

Closing Account. We may close the account at any time, with or without cause, after sending you notice if advance notice is required by law. If applicable, a notice may be sent to you that specifies when the account will be closed. At our discretion, we have the authority to pay an otherwise properly payable check, which is presented after the closing of your account. Such a termination will not release you from any fees or other obligations incurred before the termination. We will send a check for the balance in our possession to which you are entitled.

Our Waiver of Rights. You understand and agree that no delay or failure on our part to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege available to us shall affect or preclude our future exercise of that right, remedy, power or privilege.

Your Waiver of Notice. You waive any notice of non-payment, dishonor or protest regarding any items credited to or charged against your deposit account. For example, if a check that you deposited is dishonored and returned to us, we are not required to notify you of the dishonor.

Notice. You are responsible for notifying us of any address or name changes, death of an account owner, or other information affecting your account. Notices must be in a form and manner acceptable to us with enough information to allow us to identify the account. Notice sent by you to us is not effective until we have received it and have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon it. Written notice sent by us to you is effective when mailed to the last address supplied.

Liability. If we do not properly complete a transaction according to these Terms, we will be liable for your losses or damages not to exceed the amount of the transaction, except as otherwise provided by law. We will not be liable if, for example: (1) your account contains an insufficient available balance for the transaction; (2) circumstances beyond our control prevent the transaction; (3) your loss is caused by your or another financial institution's negligence; or (4) your account funds are subject to legal process or other claim. We will not be liable for consequential damages, except liability for wrongful dishonor. We are not responsible for a check that is paid by us if we acted in a commercially reasonable manner and exercised ordinary care. We exercise ordinary care if our actions or non-actions are consistent with applicable state law, Federal Reserve regulations and operating letters, clearing house rules, and general financial institution practices followed in the area we serve. You grant us the right, in making payments of deposited funds, to rely exclusively on the form of the account and the terms of these Terms. Any conflict regarding what you and our employees say or write will be resolved by reference to these Terms.

Taxpayer Identification Number and Backup Withholding. You must provide a taxpayer identification number (hereinafter TIN) with your account with us. If you fail to provide your TIN within a reasonable time, we may suspend opening your account or close your account and return the balance to you, less any applicable service fees. We may withhold taxes from interest earned on your account as required by federal or state law or regulations. Your failure to furnish a correct TIN or meet other requirements may result in backup withholding. If your account is subject to backup withholding, we must withhold and pay to the Internal Revenue Service a percentage of interest and certain other payments.

Telephone and Electronic Communication. You agree that we may call or send text messages to you at the telephone numbers that you provide to us, including a cell phone number, which may result in charges to you, for informational purposes regarding your account(s) with us. These calls and text messages may be made from an automatic telephone dialing system (i.e., an autodialer) or from an artificial or prerecorded voice message system. Additionally, you agree that we may send electronic communication to you at the email addresses you provide to us. You may contact us at any time if you no longer want to receive these communications from us. You also agree that we may monitor and record telephone and electronic communications that affect your account(s) with us to the extent permitted by law. We need not provide further notice to you or receive additional approval.

Online or Mobile Services. If you open an account or obtain a product or service from us using our online or mobile services, we may record your personal information from a scan or a copy of your driver's license or other personal identification card, or we may receive an image or make a copy of your driver's license or other personal identification card. We may store or retain this information to the extent permitted by law.

Amendments and Alterations. Except as prohibited by law, we may amend this Agreement by adding, removing, or changing terms at any time. We will notify you of amendments as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the account evidences your agreement to any amendments. Notices will be sent to the most recent address shown on the account records. Only one notice will be given in the case of joint account owners.

Severability. If a court for any reason holds a provision of these Terms to be unenforceable, the rest remains fully enforceable. All headings are intended for reference only and are not to be construed as part of these Terms.

Enforcement. You are liable to us for any losses, costs, or expenses we incur resulting from your failure to follow these Terms. You authorize us to deduct any such losses, costs, or expenses from your account without prior notice to you. If we bring a legal action to collect any amount due under or to enforce these Terms, we shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to payment of reasonable attorney's fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, bankruptcy proceedings, and any post judgment collection actions.

Effective Applicable Laws and Regulations. You understand that these Terms are governed by the laws of Virginia, except to the extent that federal law is controlling. Changes in these laws and regulations may modify these Terms. We do not have to notify you of these changes, unless required to do so by law. If any of these Terms come into conflict with the applicable law and are declared to be invalid or unenforceable, they will be nullified to the extent that they are inconsistent with the law and the applicable law will govern. However, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

SUBSTITUTE CHECK POLICY

What Is a Substitute Check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check.

Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other law with respect to those transactions.

What Are My Rights Regarding Substitute Checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees).

The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other law.

If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500.00 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) not later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.

How Do I Make a Claim for a Refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us by:

You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances.
Your claim must include:

  • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
  • An estimate of the amount of your loss;
  • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
  • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute check such as the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check.

An expedited recredit claim must be submitted in writing. When a claim has been submitted orally, we must receive that written claim within 10 business days of the oral claim.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY DISCLOSURE

This disclosure describes your ability to withdraw funds at Burke & Herbert Bank. It applies to the availability of funds in all of your accounts except for funds deposited to certificate of deposit (CD) accounts. We reserve the right to delay the availability of funds deposited to these accounts for periods longer than those outlined in this disclosure. Please ask us if you have a question about which accounts are affected by our availability policy.
For purposes of this disclosure, the terms "you" or "your" mean customer and the terms "our," "we," or "us" mean Burke & Herbert Bank.

Your Ability to Withdraw Funds. Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you by the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day that we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash, and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before the close of business 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 the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next business day we are open.

Deposits at Other Locations. This availability policy only applies to funds deposited at Burke & Herbert Bank. Please inquire for information about the availability of funds deposited at other locations.

Longer Delays May Apply. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you by the first business day after we receive your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. The first $300.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the day of deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available by the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will send you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • (a) if we believe a check you deposit will not be paid;
  • (b) if you deposit checks totaling more than $6,800.00 on any one day;
  • (c) if you redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid;
  • (d) if you have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months; or
  • (e) if an emergency condition arises that would not enable us to make the funds available to you, such as the 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 seventh (7th) business day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Same-Day Availability. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account and checks drawn on Burke & Herbert Bank will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from the following deposits will also be available on the same business day that we receive the deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions:

- Cash
- Wire transfers

Next-Day Availability. Funds from the following deposits are available by the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions:

- U.S. Treasury checks
- U.S. Postal Service money orders
- Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks
- State or Local Government checks
- Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's checks
- Traveler's checks

For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $6,800.00 of a day's total check deposits will be available by the ninth (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 $6,800.00 will not be available until the second business day after the day of deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available by the ninth (9th) business day after the day of deposit.

Holds on Other Funds for Check Cashing. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

Holds on Other Funds in Another Account. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial 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 disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Deposits at Proprietary Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). We only allow deposits to be made at ATMs that we own or operate. All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.

Foreign Checks. Checks drawn on financial institutions outside of the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions and are exempt from the policies outlined in this disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds from deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institutions upon which they are drawn.

Additional Deposit Information. CASH DEPOSITS. Funds from cash deposits (whether or not they are made in person to an employee of Burke & Herbert Bank) are made available on the same Business Day that we receive your deposit.
CHECK DEPOSITS. Check deposits include U.S. Treasury checks; U.S. Postal Service money orders; Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank checks; State or Local Government checks; Cashier's, Certified, or Teller's Checks; and Traveler's checks. In order for these check deposits to be made available according to the funds availability schedule above, the checks must be made payable to you and deposited into your account. If any of these conditions are not satisfied, then the first $6,800 of a day's total check deposits will be made available no later than the second Business Day after the day of your deposit.

Point of Sale Transactions. Listed below is the card you may use to purchase goods and services from merchants that have arranged to accept your card as a means of payment (these merchants are referred to as "Participating Merchants"). Some Participating Merchants may permit you to receive cash back as part of your purchase. Purchases made with your card, including any purchase where you receive cash, are referred to as "Point of Sale" transactions and will cause your "designated account" to be debited for the amount of the purchase. We have the right to return any check or other item drawn against your account to ensure there are funds available to pay for any Point of Sale transaction. We may, but do not have to, allow transactions which exceed your actual (ledger) account balance. If we do, you agree to pay an amount equal to the overdrawn balance plus any overdraft fees.

Your Debit Card may also be used to obtain cash from your designated account(s) at participating financial institutions when so authorized under these Terms.

Authorization Holds. An authorization hold is a temporary hold that is placed on your account for certain Debit Card transactions. The amount of the temporary hold may be more than the actual amount of the transaction, so your available account balance will temporarily be reduced by the amount of the temporary hold. If the authorization hold or the processing of subsequent transactions causes your account to have insufficient funds to pay the transaction, we may charge you non-sufficient funds fees if we return the item or overdraft fees if we pay the item on your behalf.

Currency Conversion - Visa®. When you use your card with the Visa® logo at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, the charge will be converted into the US dollar amount. The currency conversion rate used to determine the transaction amount in US dollars is a rate selected by Visa® from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable transaction date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa® itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable transaction date, in each instance, plus or minus any adjustment determined by the issuer. The conversion rate in effect on the transaction date may differ from the rate in effect on the central processing date or the posting date.

Important Additional Fee Notice. Visa® charges an International Service Assessment Fee on all international transactions. Therefore, you will be charged 1.0000% of the dollar amount of the transaction for each international transaction completed with your Visa® card when the country of the merchant or machine is different than your country as cardholder. Be aware that when making online purchases you may not know that the merchant is located in a different country.

Notice of Rights and Responsibilities

The use of any electronic fund transfer services described in this document creates certain rights and responsibilities regarding these services as described below.

Right to Receive Documentation of Your Transfers.

Transaction Receipts. Depending on the location of an ATM, you may not be given the option to receive a receipt if your transaction is $15.00 or less. Upon completing a transaction of more than $15.00, you will receive a printed receipt documenting the transaction (unless you choose not to get a paper receipt). These receipts (or the transaction number given in place of the paper receipt) should be retained to verify that a transaction was performed. A receipt will be provided for any transaction of more than $15.00 made with your Debit Card at a Participating Merchant. If the transaction is $15.00 or less, the Participating Merchant is not required to provide a receipt.

Periodic Statements. If your account is subject to receiving a monthly statement, all EFT transactions will be reported on it. If your account is subject to receiving a statement less frequently than monthly, then you will continue to receive your statement on that cycle, unless there are EFT transactions, in which case you will receive a monthly statement. In any case you will receive your statement at least quarterly.

Preauthorized Deposits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company:

    • you can call us at (855)571-5824 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

Using Your Card and Personal Identification Number ("PIN"). In order to assist us in maintaining the security of your account and the terminals, the Debit Card remains our property and may be revoked or canceled at any time without giving you prior notice. You agree not to use your Debit Card for a transaction that would cause your account balance to go below zero, or to access an account that is no longer available or lacks sufficient funds to complete the transaction, including any available line of credit. We will not be required to complete any such transaction, but if we do, we may, at our sole discretion, charge or credit the transaction to your account; you agree to pay us the amount of the improper withdrawal or transfer upon request.

Certain transactions involving your Debit Card require use of your PIN. Your PIN is used to identify you as an authorized user. Because the PIN is used for identification purposes, you agree to notify Burke & Herbert Bank immediately if your Debit Card is lost or if the secrecy of your PIN is compromised. You also agree not to reveal your PIN to any person not authorized by you to use your Debit Card or to write your PIN on your Debit Card or on any other item kept with your Debit Card. We have the right to refuse a transaction on your account when your Debit Card or PIN has been reported lost or stolen or when we reasonably believe there is unusual activity on your account.

The security of your account depends upon your maintaining possession of your Debit Card and the secrecy of your PIN. You may change your PIN if you feel that the secrecy of your PIN has been compromised. You may change your PIN by going to a Burke & Herbert Bank branch location and changing it through a secured PIN Select device, at a Burke & Herbert Bank ATM or via telephone at 877-440-0800.

Rights Regarding Preauthorized Transfers.

Rights and Procedures to Stop Payments. If you have instructed us to make regular preauthorized transfers out of your account, you may stop any of the payments. To stop a payment,

We must receive your call or written request at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled payment. If you call, please have the following information ready: your account number, the date the transfer is to take place, to whom the transfer is being made and the amount of the scheduled transfer. If you call, we may require you to put your request in writing and deliver it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call.

Notice of Varying Amounts. If you have arranged for automatic periodic payments to be deducted from your checking or savings account and these payments vary in amount, you will be notified by the person or company you are going to pay ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.

Our Liability for Failure to Stop Preauthorized Transfer Payments. If you order us to stop one of the payments and have provided us with the information we need at least three (3) business days prior to the scheduled transfer, and we do not stop the transfer, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Your Responsibility To Notify Us of Loss or Theft. If you believe your Debit Card, PIN, internet banking access code, has been lost or stolen,

  • call us at: 1-855-571-5824 (This number is available 24/7 to report lost or stolen Visa Debit Cards or compromised PINs)
  • or
  • write to:
    P.O. Box 151510
    Alexandria, VA, 22315

The customer must notify Burke & Herbert Bank within two (2) business days after he/she learns of the loss, theft or misuse, of his/her Visa Debit Card and/or PIN.

You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

Consumer Liability. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access code 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 applicable). If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access code you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50) if someone used your Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access 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 Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access code and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access code without your permission if you had given us notice, you can lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500).

Also, if your statement shows transfers 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 transmitted to you, you may not receive back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days, and therefore, you may not get back any money in your account, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you given us notice in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps you from giving the notice, we will extend the time periods.

Consumer Liability For Unauthorized Transactions Involving Burke & Herbert Bank Visa Debit Card The limitations on your liability for unauthorized transactions described above generally apply to all electronic fund transfers. However, different limitations apply to certain transactions involving your card with the Visa® logo. These limits apply to unauthorized transactions processed on the Visa® or Plus Network.
If you notify us about an unauthorized transaction involving your card with the Visa® logo and the unauthorized transaction took place on the Visa® or Plus Network, zero liability will be imposed on you for the unauthorized transaction. We may increase the limit of your liability for such unauthorized transactions to the amounts described under "Consumer Liability" above if we reasonably determine, based on substantial evidence, that you were negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your account or your card with the Visa® logo, you were proven to have participated in the transaction, or both. The zero liability provisions do not apply to PIN-based debit transactions not processed by the Visa® or Plus Network, including ATM transactions outside of the United States.
Your liability for unauthorized transactions with your card with the Visa® logo that involve PIN-based debit transactions not processed by the Visa® or Plus Network, including ATM transactions, are described under "Consumer Liability" above.

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days for new accounts) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days (ninety (90) days for new accounts and foreign initiated or Point of Sale transfers) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days for new accounts) for the amount which you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. The extended time periods for new accounts apply to all electronic fund transfers that occur within the first thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account is made, including those for foreign initiated or Point of Sale transactions. Visa's® cardholder protection policy requires that we provide provisional credit for losses from unauthorized Visa® Debit Card use within five (5) business days of notification of the loss, unless we determine that additional investigation is warranted and allowed by applicable laws or regulations.
We will tell you the results within three (3) 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.

Liability For Failure To Complete Transaction. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages as provided by law. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:

  • If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  • If the transfer would result in your exceeding the credit limit on your line of credit, if you have one.
  • If the electronic terminal was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown before you started the transfer.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood, computer or machine breakdown, or failure or interruption of communications facilities) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken.
  • If we have terminated our agreement with you.
  • When your Debit Card has been reported lost or stolen or we have reason to believe that something is wrong with a transaction.
  • If we receive inaccurate or incomplete information needed to complete a transaction.
  • In the case of preauthorized transfers, we will not be liable where there is a breakdown of the system which would normally handle the transfer.
  • If the funds in the account are subject to legal action preventing a transfer to or from your account.
  • If the electronic terminal does not have enough cash to complete the transaction.

There may be other exceptions provided by applicable law.

Charges For Transfers or The Right To Make Transfers.

Per Transaction Charge. We may assess a fee for each preauthorized transfer, ATM transaction, telephone transaction or Point of Sale purchase you make. Please see the Fee Schedule included in these Terms to determine the applicable amount.

Fees. You may be charged a fee for withdrawals of cash under certain circumstances, whether they take place at proprietary machines or through a network or are Point of Sale transfers or transfers made without the use of your Debit Card. The circumstances under which such charges will be assessed, as well as the amount of the charge, are included in the Fee Schedule incorporated in these Terms.

Fee Schedule. The Fee Schedule referred to above is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Additional copies of the schedule may be obtained from us upon request.

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or electronic fund transfers made to your account:

  • 1.      Where necessary to complete a transfer or to investigate and resolve errors involving the transfer(s); or
  • 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

A Private Banking Interest Checking Account is required to obtain Private Banking benefits, which include opening/maintaining a Private Banking Super Money Market Account. Please see the Burke & Herbert Bank Private Banking Client Agreement for more information about Private Banking eligibility requirements and benefits.

Rate Information. Please refer to our rate sheet for the interest rate and annual percentage yield (APY) on this account.

Your interest rate and annual percentage yield may change.

Determination of Rate. At our discretion, we may change the interest rate on your account.

Frequency of Rate Changes. We may change the interest rate on your account at any time.

Limitations on Rate Changes. There are no maximum or minimum interest rate limits for this account.

Compounding and Crediting. Interest will compound monthly and will be credited to this account each month on your statement date. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.

Minimum Balance Requirements. You must deposit $1,000.00 to open this account.

Dormant/Inactive Account Information. A dormant account fee of $5.00 per month will be charged after 366 days of inactivity.

Processing Order. You understand that when two or more items are presented for payment on the same day, the law allows us to pay them in any order. For now, we have chosen to pay the items in the following order:
Teller counter checks, ATM withdrawals, debit card purchases, ACH Transactions, checks presented over the counter by serial number, and then checks presented from the Federal Reserve by serial number order. Items that are not checks are presented to the system as of the time of the transaction were processed. We can, in good faith, choose a different order of payment after giving you any legally required notice. The processing order of these items is important because if there is not enough money in the account to pay for the items in the order they are processed in accordance with the processing order, there may be an overdraft on your account which may result in overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees or an increase in the amount of these fees.

Balance Computation Method. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

Accrual On Noncash Deposits. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (for example, checks).

Transaction Limitations. Transfers from a Money Market account to another account or to third parties by preauthorized, automatic, computer or telephone transfer are limited to six per monthly statement cycle. A fee will be assessed for transfers totaling more than six per statement cycle.

Fees and Charges. Please refer to the Fee Schedule provided to you in these Terms for information about fees and charges associated with this account. A Fee Schedule is provided to you at the time you open an account, periodically when fees or charges change, and upon request.
