Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms used in this section have the meanings assigned in the Rules.
In connection with ACH transactions on your Account, you agree that:
a. Applicable Law
We may accept on your behalf payments to your Account, which have been transmitted through ACH and which are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

You authorize any ODFI to initiate, pursuant to the Rules, ACH debit entries to your Account.
b. Provisional Credit
If your Account receives funds via ACH, then any credit to the Account for such funds is provisional until Bank receives final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank or has otherwise received payment as provided under the Uniform Commercial Code, Section 4A-403(a), as adopted by the State of California. If Bank does not receive final settlement or payment of an ACH credit, you are hereby notified and agree that Bank is entitled to recover from the Account or you, without prior notice or demand, the amount of the provisional credit, in whole or in part, and any applicable returned fee (even if it results in an overdraft on your Account) and the party originating the payment will not be considered to have paid you the amount of the credit.
c. Notices
We are not required to give you a separate notice of our receipt of an ACH transfer. To determine if a transfer has been credited to your Account, you can review transactions on your Account via the A-Express Remit Pte Ltd Platform or you can contact Servicer at the contact information above.
The following terms apply to withdrawals from your Account
a. Manner of Withdrawal
You may make withdrawals from your Account by initiating a funds transfer from the Account. Withdrawals and transfers from your Account may be restricted as provided in the Agreement or by Applicable Law.
b. Withdrawal Restrictions / No Overdrafts
We may refuse or restrict withdrawals and transfers from your Account in our sole discretion for any purpose permitted by Applicable Law. You are not permitted to overdraw your Account. If there are available funds to cover some, but not all, of the withdrawals or other debits to your Account on a single business day, we may post the withdrawals or debits in any order we may choose at Bank’s sole discretion.
If there are insufficient funds available in your Account to cover a withdrawal or debit presented against your Account, we may reject such withdrawals in our sole discretion. Even if we choose to pay one or more overdrafts as a courtesy to you, in our sole discretion, we are not obligated to cover any future overdrafts and fees or interest may apply to any overdraft we permit. If your Account balance becomes negative for any reason, you must make a deposit immediately to cover the negative balance. If your Account has a negative balance for thirty (30) calendar days or more we reserve the right to close the Account. In the event you fail to pay the amount of any overdraft and Bank refers your overdrawn Account to an attorney for collection, you agree to pay all reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Bank as a result of your account being overdrawn.
c. Request for Information
Before permitting a withdrawal or other transaction, we may request that you provide us with additional information or documentation that we deem necessary to confirm your identity or to prevent illegal activity. We may refuse the transaction if you do not comply with our request.
d. Check Withdrawals
You may not make a withdrawal from your Account by cheque.
e. Stop Payment Order
A stop payment request against an item payable from your Account will be effective if we receive the order at such time and in such manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. A stop payment order against an item payable from your Account is effective for six (6) months, but it lapses after fourteen (14) calendar days if the original order was oral and was not confirmed in writing within that period. A stop payment order against an item payable from your Account may be renewed for additional six (6) month periods if renewed during a period within which the stop payment order is effective. All stop payment order requests will require you to provide the date, the amount, and the number of the item or authorization, together with the name of the payee. If you give us incomplete or incorrect information, Bank and Servicer will not be liable for failing to stop payment on the item or authorization. Our acceptance of a stop payment order will not constitute a representation that the item or authorization has not already been paid or that we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. You may not request us to stop payment if we have otherwise become accountable for the item or authorization. In addition, you may not stop payment on payment methods governed by a separate agreement. Further you may not stop payment on an item or authorization after acceptance of the same by us.
a. Transaction posting order
Bank reserves the right to decide the order of the items Bank will pay and which items will be returned (if any). Bank’s posting order may not be the same as the order in which you conducted a transaction and could result in overdraft fees if you do not have available funds at the time the item is paid. Generally, Bank posts the following transaction types (to the extent applicable to your Account) after the close of each Business Day in the following order:
b. Funds Availability
Bank makes funds available according to the type of deposit and when the funds are applied or credited to your Account and in accordance with Applicable Law. Some types of deposits may not be available for immediate use. When Bank delays the availability of funds or places a hold on a deposit made to your Account, you may not withdraw those funds, and Bank will not use them to pay any debits. Bank has the right to refuse any deposit. The length of the delay in the availability of funds varies depending on the type of deposit. If final payment is not received on any item you have deposited into your Account, you agree to pay Bank the amount of the returned item if such item has already been credited to your Account. You may only deposit funds that are immediately available.
Bank receives deposits each Business Day. If you make a deposit by electronic payment before 5pm Pacific Time on a Business Day, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 5pm Pacific Time or on a non-Business Day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next Business Day.
Deposits made by electronic payment, excluding those by ACH debit transactions, will be made available to you the day that the deposit is received but no later than the first Business Day after the day that the deposit is made.
Deposits made by any other permissible deposit method, will be made available no later than the second Business Day after the day that the deposit is made.
We reserve the right, subject to Applicable Law, to hold funds pending settlement or for such period of time as we deem necessary, in our sole discretion, to cover items which may be returned unpaid.
c. Special rules for new accounts
Accounts open less than thirty (30) days may be limited in functionality. Funds credited to your Account may be made available provisionally or delayed for a reasonable amount of time in accordance with Applicable Law. Certain transfer limits may be lower during this time for certain features and services, or as allowed under Applicable Law or regulation.
a. Initiating funds transfers
You may only initiate funds transfers (through any method permitted for your Account) by submitting Eligible Instructions and you authorize Bank to honor, accept, execute, and initiate any Eligible Instructions it receives. You acknowledge and agree that the submission of Eligible Instructions represents a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized transactions. Bank has no obligation, and shall not be liable or responsible for its refusal to act on any instruction or transaction request that is not an Eligible Instruction. You acknowledge that the purpose of transacting through Eligible Instructions is to verify authenticity and not to detect an error in the transmission or content of a transaction or instruction. You and Bank have not agreed upon any procedures for the detection of errors and you are solely responsible for any errors not caused by Bank.
Bank may screen and reject any funds transfer request in good faith, including because Bank believes that the funds transfer, if executed, would not comply with Applicable Law or would exceed the amount of funds in your Account or any established limits on your Account. Bank is not liable for failing to complete a transaction from your Account on-time or in the correct amount.
b. Limitation on amount of transactions
Bank may impose and adjust transaction limits on your Account, in its sole discretion. Applicable transaction limits will be disclosed to you through the A-Express Remit Pte Ltd Platform.
c. Accuracy of information
When you originate any funds transfer request through any method made available to you by Bank (including wire or automated clearinghouse transfers), you are responsible for providing accurate payment information. Bank and any other financial institution involved in the transaction may rely on all identifying numbers (e.g., account and routing numbers) you provide to make payment. Bank may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named. Bank will process the funds transfer request based solely on the information you provide to us and expressly disclaims any obligation to review any such request for errors or inconsistent or duplicative information. It is your obligation to verify the information you provide to us including, but not limited to, the identity and relationship of the receiving party, account number, and routing number. Bank is not responsible for any loss or damage you incur from your request for a funds transfer.
d. Bank's liability for failure to complete transactions
You acknowledge that you are responsible for reconciling all transactions and balances against those maintained by Bank.
e. Wire transfers
If enabled by Bank for your Account, you may be able to send or receive a wire transfer request. You acknowledge that Bank may, in its sole discretion, clear and settle any payment order arising from a wire transfer request through one or more intermediary banks, including through the use of correspondent accounts held at such banks. You agree to reimburse Bank for all costs, fees, and other expenses incurred by Bank in transmitting any payment order through any such intermediaries. You further agree to indemnify Bank and hold it harmless for all of Bank’s liabilities, including any claims, and other obligations that it may have to such intermediaries. You acknowledge that any payment orders governed by this Agreement may be governed by the rules of any funds transfer system through which any payment order is made, including the Fedwire Funds Service, National Settlement Service, any other Federal Reserve payment system, NACHA, the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (“CHIPS”), the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (“S.W.I.F.T.”), or any other funds transfer system (each and collectively a “Funds Transfer System”). By submitting a wire transfer request, you agree to and accept any rule of such Funds Transfer System, to the extent applicable to any transaction. The beneficiary’s bank must be a member of the Federal Reserve System, CHIPS, or S.W.I.F.T., or ultimately have a correspondent bank that is a member or participant of the Federal Reserve System, CHIPS, or S.W.I.F.T., as applicable to the transfer request.
Please be advised that wire transfer requests may not be recalled or amended once they have been sent to Bank. Wire transfer requests will only be accepted and processed if you have sufficient and available funds in your Account at the time the request is received and processed. Bank reserves the right to reject or cancel any wire transfer in our sole discretion and will not be held liable for any losses or damages that may arise due to our right to cancel or reject the wire transfer.
f. ACH transactions
If enabled by Bank for your Account, you may be able to initiate funds transfers through automated clearinghouse (“ACH”) transactions, pursuant to Bank’s terms and conditions for ACH Origination (See Exhibit 1).
g. Your liability for unauthorized transfers
You agree to be bound by all Eligible Instructions accepted by Bank in good faith and will be liable for all losses, expenses, and liability, resulting from, related to, or caused by Bank's processing or execution of an Eligible Instruction, regardless of whether such losses, expenses, or liability occur due to unauthorized, incorrect, incomplete, or fraudulent transactions. You acknowledge and agree that because this is a commercial-purpose account, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and any similar protections available under consumer financial protection laws do not apply to your Account. Contact Servicer immediately if you believe your Login Credentials have been compromised or if you believe someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your permission. You are responsible for monitoring and reconciling all activity in your Account. You must report any suspected unauthorized transaction to us immediately.

The hold may be placed for such period of time as we believe reasonably necessary to allow a legal proceeding to determine the merits of the claim or until we receive evidence satisfactory to us that the dispute has been resolved. We will not be liable for any items that are dishonored as a consequence of placing a hold on funds in your Account for these reasons.
e. Right to set off
If your Account balance becomes and remains negative or you are determined to owe Bank any amounts for any reason, Bank can use the funds in your Account or any other account that you own at the Bank to repay any amount owed without further notice to or demand on you. This means Bank has the right to set off any liability, direct or contingent, past, present or future that you owe against any account you have with Bank.

Regardless of the terms of such garnishment, levy or other state or federal process, Bank has first claim to any and all funds in your Account for your liability under this Agreement. Bank will not contest on your behalf any such Legal Process and may take action to comply with such Legal Process as Bank determines to be appropriate in the circumstances without liability to you, even if any funds Bank may be required to pay out leaves insufficient funds to pay a transaction that you have authorized. Payment is made after satisfying any fees, charges or other debts owed to Bank. You agree that you are responsible for any expenses, including legal expenses and fees Bank incurs due to any Legal Process on your Account. Bank may charge these expenses to your Account.

Credit Entries you initiate may be transmitted through the ACH system. Your rights and obligations as the Originator of such Entries are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any credit given by the RDFI to the Receiver of your credit Entry is provisional until the RDFI has received final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank or otherwise has received payment as provided for in Section 4A-403(a) of Article 4A of the UCC.

Bank shall not be required to pay you the amount of any Debit Entry or credit reversal before Bank receives final settlement for such Entry.

In addition, Bank shall have the right, without notice or demand, to immediate repayment by you of the amount of any Debit Entry returned or rejected and any adjustment Entry for which Bank is required to settle under the Rules and for which you have previously received credit, at the time Bank receives such rejection, return, or adjustment Entry, as applicable, or notice thereof.
Bank may, without prior notice or demand, obtain payment of any amount due and payable to it under this Addendum by debiting your Account, even if such debit results in an overdraft on your Account.
With respect to a Debit Entry that is returned, reversed, or adjusted for any reason by the RDFI, you specifically authorize Bank to debit your Account for such Debit Entry, plus any related costs incurred by Bank, or take such other action as would be appropriate under the circumstances.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Bank shall not be required to act upon any notice or instruction received from you or any other Person, or to provide any notice or advice to you or any other Person with respect to any matter.

Bank reserves the right to change the Security Procedures in its sole discretion. You acknowledge that the purpose of the Security Procedures is to verify authenticity and not to detect an error in the transmission or content of an Entry. Bank and you have not agreed upon any procedures for the detection of errors and you are solely responsible for any errors not caused by Bank.
Any Entry (or request for cancellation or amendment of an Entry) communicated to Bank will be effective as your instruction, whether or not authorized, and regardless of the actual identity of the sender thereof, if it is an Eligible Instruction accepted by Bank in good faith. Bank is not obligated to act on any instruction other than Eligible Instructions. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of each Eligible Instruction.
You agree to and will cause your Third-Party Service Providers (if applicable), to develop, implement, and update policies, procedures, and systems as necessary to ensure compliance with the ACH Security Framework Rule and to protect the integrity and confidentiality of Protected Information.

You agree to keep your Login Credentials safe and secure and not disclose them to anyone other than a Person authorized and permitted by you to send Entries to Bank on your behalf.
