HTIFCUe-Branch Services

At the present time, you may use the following HTIFCUe-Branch services:
Account Information - You may review balances and transaction history on all accounts and sub-accounts existing under your user name. Your account balances are online and include all transactions that have been posted to your account up to that point in time. However, the availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to our Funds Availability Policy. You can also view debit card transaction holds.
Transfers - You may make transfers to your accounts or other accounts that you are authorized on 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 and bill payments from your savings accounts will be limited to a total of six (6) (Federal Regulation D) in any one calendar month. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account at the time of the transfer, except as limited under this Agreement or your deposit. We reserve the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, lower an account below a required balance, or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account.
Transactions involving your accounts will be subject to the terms of your Membership and Account Agreement; and transactions involving a line of credit account or Home Equity Loan will be subject to your Credit Agreement and Disclosures, or your Home Equity Agreement and Disclosures, as applicable.

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.

Security of User Name and Password
You are responsible for safekeeping of 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 user name and password and HTIFCU suffers a loss, we may terminate your HTIFCUe-Branch account services immediately. Revealing your user name and password will grant access to those accounts by unauthorized individuals.
To ensure the security of your HTIFCUe-Branch account, we will return you to the Log On 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, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your user name and password or accessed your accounts 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 ($50.00). If someone accessed your account without your permission, and you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or user name and password, 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 ($500.00).
Also, if your statement shows HTIFCUe-Branch transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may be liable for the full amount of the loss if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the unauthorized transactions. If a good reason kept you from telling us, and you can document that reason, we may extend the time periods.
If you believe that someone has used your user name and password or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call us at 808-942-5115.
Immediately change your password if you think it has been compromised.
