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.

At Mastercard International they use a currency conversion procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that issue Mastercard®. Currently the currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International to determine the transaction amount in US dollars for such transactions is based on rates observed in the wholesale market or government-mandated rates, where applicable. The currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International is generally the rate of the applicable currency on the date that the transaction occurred. However, in limited situations, particularly where transactions are submitted to Mastercard International for processing are delayed, the currency conversion rate used may be the rate of the applicable currency on the date that the transaction is processed.

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 (415)744-6700 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 another 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 Bank of San Francisco 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 via the telephone.
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,
call us at: (415)744-6700
or
write to:
Bank of San Francisco
345 California Street, Suite 1600
San Francisco, CA 94104
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 will 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 ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be.
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 or PIN or internet banking access code has been lost or stolen,
call us at: (833)917-2180 (24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week.) or (415)744-6700 (Monday Through Friday, except Holidays, between 9:00am and 4:30pm PST)
or
write to:
Bank of San Francisco
345 California Street, Suite 1600
San Francisco, CA 94104
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 MASTERCARD DEBIT CARD (PERSONAL). 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 Mastercard® branded card.
If you promptly notify us about an unauthorized transaction involving your card and the unauthorized transaction took place on your Mastercard® branded card, including any PIN-based ATM or POS transactions, zero liability will be imposed on you for the unauthorized transaction. In order to qualify for the zero liability protection, you must have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your card from the risk of loss or theft and, upon becoming aware of such loss or theft, promptly reported the loss or theft to us.
ILLEGAL USE OF MASTERCARD DEBIT CARD (PERSONAL). You agree not to use your Mastercard Debit Card (Personal) for any illegal transactions, including internet gambling and similar activities.
IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TRANSACTIONS. In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund transfers,

Notification should be made as soon as possible if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. You must contact Bank of San Francisco no later than 60 days after we sent you the first statement on which the problem or error appears. You must be prepared to provide the following information:
- Your name and account number.
- A description of the error or transaction you are unsure about along with an explanation as to why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
- The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you provide oral notice, you will be required to send in your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.
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.
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 with you, 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.
Fee Schedule. The Fee Schedule referred to above is being provided separately and is incorporated into this document by reference. Additional copies of the schedule may be obtained from Bank of San Francisco upon request.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION. You agree that merchant authorization messages transmitted in connection with Point of Sale transactions are permissible disclosures of account information, and you further agree to release Bank of San Francisco and hold it harmless from any liability arising out of the transmission of these messages.
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or electronic fund transfers made to your account:
- Where necessary to complete a transfer or to investigate and resolve errors involving the transfer(s); or
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
- In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
- If you give us your permission in a record or writing.
AMENDING OR TERMINATING THE AGREEMENT. We may change this agreement from time to time. You will be notified at least 21 days before a change will take effect if it will cause you an increase in costs or liability or it will limit your ability to make electronic fund transfers. No notice will be given if the change is necessary for security reasons. We also have the right to terminate this agreement at any time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ATM TERMINAL USAGE. Please keep in mind the following basic safety tips whenever you use an ATM:
- Have your Debit Card ready to use when you reach the ATM. Have all of your forms ready before you get to the machine. Keep some extra forms (envelopes) at home for this purpose.
- If you are new to ATM usage, use machines close to or inside a financial institution until you become comfortable and can conduct your usage quickly.
- If using an ATM in an isolated area, take someone else with you if possible. Have them watch from the car as you conduct your transaction.
- Do not use ATMs at night unless the area and machine are well-lighted. If the lights are out, go to a different location.
- If someone else is using the machine you want to use, stand back or stay in your car until the machine is free. Watch out for suspicious people lurking around ATMs, especially during the times that few people are around.
- When using the machine, stand so you block anyone else's view from behind.
- If anything suspicious occurs when you are using a machine, cancel what you are doing and leave immediately. If going to your car, lock your doors.
- Do not stand at the ATM counting cash. Check that you received the right amount later in a secure place, and reconcile it to your receipt then.
- Keep your receipts and verify transactions on your account statement. Report errors immediately. Do not leave receipts at an ATM location.
Your account is also governed by the terms and conditions of other applicable agreements between you and Bank of San Francisco.

No other person will have access to your bank account information unless you choose to give them your user ID and password. If you choose to give your Online Banking user ID and password to another person, that person will also have access to all other accounts that you have linked. If you wish to "unlink" accounts, you must notify the bank in writing and request that this be done. Accounts which are "linked" under the Services will have one common owner and signer. Any signer, acting alone, must be authorized to access a linked account. Any non-linked account will not be accessible through the Service unless you are the signer on the account, and you request that it be linked.

A stop payment order against a check is effective only against the check that is described in the stop payment request form and does not cancel or revoke the authorization for future checks written to the same payee. A stop payment order is effective for six (6) months only and will expire automatically at that time unless specifically renewed in writing prior to expiration. A stop payment order may be renewed for additional six-month periods.
I hereby order Bank of San Francisco to stop payment on the check(s) described in any stop payment request initiated via the Service. I warrant that the information describing the check(s), including the check date, its exact amount, the check number and payee is correct. I understand that if I give you any incorrect information, Bank of San Francisco will not be responsible for failing to stop payment on the check(s). I agree that unless my stop payment order is received by Bank of San Francisco within a reasonable time for Bank of San Francisco to act on my order prior to final payment of the check(s), Bank of San Francisco will not be responsible for stopping payment on the check(s). I understand that Bank of San Francisco shall not be responsible for failure to stop payment on a check if action has already been taken to pay the check. I also agree to notify Bank of San Francisco promptly upon the issuance of any duplicate check that replaces the check subject to this order, or upon return of the original check.

Also, if your statement shows 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 any money you lost after the 60 days if we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

Call or write to us as soon as you can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer on the statement or the receipt. Our address is 345 California Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco, California 94104 and telephone number is 415-744-6700. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the FIRST statement on which the error or problem appeared.
(1) Tell us your name and account number (if any)
(2) Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe there is an error or why you need more information.
(3) Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (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 45 days to investigate your complaint or question (90 days on new accounts, point-of-sale debit card transactions, or transfers initiated out of state). If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days for new accounts) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have 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.
Finance Charges are imposed on advances as of the date of posting and continue to accrue until paid in full. We calculate the Current Finance Charge on your account by multiplying the Daily Periodic Rate by the Average Daily Balance on your statement including current transactions and then multiplying by the Days in the statement cycle. To get the Average Daily Balance we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new advances or other debits for that day, and subtract any payments or credits and any unpaid Finance Charges. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for the statement cycle and divide by the Days in the statement cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance. The billing cycle ends on the Closing Date. If your account is subject to a variable interest rate, your periodic rate may vary.
If you think your bill is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us on a separate sheet of paper at our address shown on the front of this statement as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 day after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights. In your letter, give us the following information: 1) your name and account number, 2) the dollar amount of the suspected error, 3) describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are unsure about.
