CUe-Branch Services

 

You may use CUe-Branch to access all accounts that are linked to your Social Security number, (SSN).  At your request, you may remove access to any account or sub-account that has your SSN.  At the present time, you may use the following CUe-Branch services:

 

Account Information:  You may review balances and transaction history on all accounts and subaccounts existing under your user name.  Your account balances are real time and include all transactions that have posted to your account up to that point in time.  However, delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances.  The availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to our Funds Availability Policy.  Transaction history information may be limited to recent transactions involving your accounts.

 

Transfers:  You may make transfers to your accounts or other accounts on which you are an authorized signer as often as you like, except for those accounts with transfer limitations as disclosed when you opened the account and any amendments to that disclosure.  Transfers from share and club accounts to share draft/checking accounts will be limited to a total of six (6) per month, including overdraft protection (if any) and telephone requests (Federal Regulation D).  You may transfer up to the available balance in your account at the time of the transfer, except as limited under any other agreements.

 

Apply for a Loan:  You may make application for a loan.  You will be notified by email or telephone as to the disposition of your application.

 

Request a Check:  The minimum check withdrawal is $50.  You may request a check withdrawal from any share, share draft/checking or club account (excluding Christmas and share certificates).  A check will be issued payable to the member and all joint owners, and will be mailed to the address on record at the credit union.

 

Reorder Checks:  You may reorder additional checks in the same format as your last order from us.  If you do not qualify for free checks, your account will be charged for the checks.

 

Stop Payment:  You may request a stop payment order for a check or range of checks from your share draft account.  Requests made after the close of business may not be effective until the following business day.   A stop payment request is conditional and subject to verification that the item has not already been paid.  A CUe-Branch stop payment request will serve as a substitute for a written order.  Stop payment fees apply.

 

Email:  Send communications directly to the credit union through the home banking secure network.  Once we receive your email, we will respond to your request within a reasonable amount of time as we may need to research the resolution to your request.  However, contact us immediately at (808) 681-3033 regarding any unauthorized transactions to your account.

 

Password Changes:  You may select a new password for your account at any time.  The credit union DOES NOT store your password or have access to it.

 

Authorized Use of CUe-Branch:  User names and passwords are issued to members and their joint owners only.

  

Security of User Name and Password:  Your user name and password will be your CUe-Branch signature.  You are responsible for safekeeping your user name and password.  You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your user name and password available to anyone not authorized to sign on your account(s).  If you fail to maintain the security of your server or your user name and password and Ewa FCU suffers a loss, we may terminate your CUe-Branch account service immediately.  Revealing your user name and password will grant access to those accounts by unauthorized individuals.  Furthermore, to ensure the security and integrity of your CUe-Branch account, we will return you to the login screen if no activity has occurred within ten (10) minutes.

 

Member Liability for Unauthorized Access:  You are responsible for all transfers you authorize under this agreement.  If you permit other persons to use your user name and password, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts.  However, contact us immediately if you believe anyone has used your user name and password or accessed your account(s) through CUe-Branch without your authorization.  Calling us directly is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum.  If someone has accessed your account without your permission and you tell us within two (2) business days, you cannot lose more than fifty dollars ($50).  If someone has accessed your account without your permission and you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized access, and we can prove that we could have stopped the unauthorized access had you told us, you could lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500).  If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after a statement has been mailed to you or the email notification is sent that your statement is ready for viewing, you may not be entitled to any refunds 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 a timely manner.  If a good reason kept you for notifying us and you can document that reason, we may extend the time periods.

If you believe that someone has compromised your user name and password or has made or may make unauthorized transfers from your account, call us immediately at (808) 681-3033.  We strongly urge you to change your password as soon as you think it has been compromised.

 

Fees and Charges:  Currently there are no fees to use CUe-Branch.  All standard fees set forth in your Rate and Fee Schedule applies.  We reserve the right to institute charges for CUe-Branch account access or transactions in the future, but only after written notification to you at least 30 days in advance.

- Where it is necessary for completing transfers; or

- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
