The USA PATRIOT Act
According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country. Our ability to feel safe is becoming more difficult with terrorism and crime on a steady increase
But there is hope ...
The USA PATRIOT Act has paved the way for financial institutions to help prevent fraud, identity theft, and the spread of terrorism. It requires financial institutions to obtain more information from an individual or legal entity to help establish identity.
Your cooperation is needed when you open a new account or request a loan. You may be asked more questions to establish and confirm your identity. It may also be required for you to provide one or more of the following types of identification:
- Driver's license
- Passport and country of issuance
- U.S. taxpayer identification (ID) number
- Alien ID card
- Any other government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence.

2.2 Power Pay Service.
PowerPay is an electronic payment system which permits you to initiate and authorize payments from your accounts to payees which you have selected in advance to receive payments by means of this service. (A payee is a person or business you are paying). You have the option of setting up a payment to occur only on demand or on a recurring frequency. Recurring payments are payments of a fixed amount that are paid at a regular time interval, such as monthly; and on demand payments are payments that vary in amount and/or date. After you have established a recurring or on demand payment, the Bank will automatically execute bill payments according to your instructions until you have properly notified the Bank, in accordance with the Bank's procedures in effect at the time, of any cancellation of your instructions. You may notify the bank by either writing us at P. O. Box 898, Mena, Arkansas 71953, or e-mail via the "Contact Us" option.
To participate in Union@Home Power Pay, you must have a checking account with Union Bank. If you participate in this service, you may use PowerPay to make payments from any of your checking accounts.
To pay bills using PowerPay, you must use your computer and the Union@Home software product to authorize a payment from your account. After your instruction is received, payment will be made either by transferring funds electronically from your account to the payee or by preparing a paper check to the payee via first class mail. Your payment will be sent within 48 hours of your selected payment date.
You may use PowerPay to authorize automated recurring payments in order to pay recurring bills. These payments must be for the same amount each month, and they will be sent on the same calendar day of each month, or on the following business day if the regular payment day falls on Saturday, Sunday or federal banking holiday.
When you have entered and transmitted payment instructions, you authorize the Bank to withdraw funds from your account accordingly. These funds are taken from your account on the day of your scheduled payment. If there are insufficient funds in the account to make an electronic payment, payment will not be made. If making a payment by check and there are insufficient funds in the account to pay the check on the day it is presented for payment, you will be responsible for any non-sufficient funds or overdraft charges the Bank may impose, as stated in the deposit agreements governing your accounts. The Bank reserves the right to refuse to honor payment requests that reasonably appear to the Bank to be fraudulent, incomplete, erroneous, or if you do not follow the Bank's instructions for PowerPay. In addition, the Bank will not be able to execute any bill payment if the payee cannot or will not accept such payment.
Using PowerPay, you can only pay payees with United States addresses. While most payments can be made using Power Pay, the Bank reserves the right to refuse to pay certain payees. The Bank also reserves the right to terminate your use of the PowerPay service. Due to liability issues, we will not accept payments to federal, state or local tax agencies, or payments to settle securities transactions.
When scheduling payments, you should take into account delays that are inherent in processing and sending bill payments. In general, bill payments may be scheduled for the current business day or any date in the future, and we will process your payment on the date you schedule. However, a bill payment may not actually be sent until two days after it is processed, so you should schedule a payment for at least two business days before you wish it to be sent. Payments will only be processed once a day at 12 noon Central Time. If you attempt to schedule a payment for the same business day after 12 noon Central time, or on a non-business day, it will not be processed until the following business day. If the payee is to be paid by paper check, you understand and agree that the check is mailed to the payee and may not be received by the payee until 5 to 8 business days or more after it is debited from your account. If the payee is to be paid electronically, you understand and agree that the payee may not receive the payment until 72 hours or more after it is debited from your account. Further delays may be caused by the failure of the payee to process a payment on the business day that it is received. You authorize Union Bank and any third party processing agent that we may select to use any payment method (electronic or paper) we choose to process each of your payments. It is your responsibility to authorize your bill payments in such a manner that your bills are paid on time. You are responsible for any late payment or finance charge that may be imposed as a result of your failure to schedule payments or transmit payment instructions in a timely manner. We are not responsible for any delay or other adverse consequence that results or is alleged to result from the choice of payment methods, from delays in the delivery of mail or the improper handling or transmission of payments by a third party or the failure of a payee to accept, process or properly post a payment in a timely manner.
To cancel a bill payment that you have scheduled, you must cancel the payment online by 11 a.m. on the date the payment is scheduled to be debited from your account.
| Schedule A - Fee Schedule | |
| Union@Home Online Internet Banking | No charge |
| Union@Home Power Pay | $5 per month • First ten items free. • $ .50 each after first ten. |
2.3 Types of Transfers and Limitations.
You can make an internal transfer of funds from one account with the Bank to another, such as a transfer from a savings account to a checking account. Transfers may be limited in amount as provided in our agreements with you governing these services or in accordance with bank policies. In addition, your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited to federal law, as stated in your deposit agreements with us. For example, you can make no more than six (6) transfers from a savings or money market account during each statement period, and, in the case of a money market account, no more that three (3) of the six (6) such transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made payable to third parties. Transfers made using both Union@Home and other transfer methods described in the Deposit Agreements are counted against the permissible number of transfers. The bank reserves the right to further limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from your accounts for security or credit reasons, as the Bank may determine at any time at its sole discretion.
2.4 Overdrafts; Order of Payments.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have enough money or credit available in an account from which you instruct Union@Home to make a payment or transfer. If funds are withdrawn from any of your accounts by means of electronic fund transfers, other than through Union@Home on same business day as a Union@Home transaction, and if the account contains insufficient funds to enable both the electronic funds transfer and the Union@Home transfer to be made, the transfers will be made in the order determined by the Bank, in its sole discretion. You are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any payments or transfers you make or authorize to be made. If we complete a payment or transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction, you agree to reimburse us upon our demand, and you further agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other deposit accounts(s) you have with us to the extent permitted by the applicable law and the terms of any other relevant agreements.
2.5 Computer Requirements.
In order to use Union@Home, you must have your own Internet Service Provider and the necessary computer equipment required by the browser, which you select. In this Agreement, your computer and the related equipment are referred to together as your “Computer”. You are responsible for the installation, maintenance, and operation of your Computer and your software.
