BROWSER SECURITY. Bank of Pontiac transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your browser and the Internet Banking server
has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. This can be verified by an indicator on your web browser. Netscape Navigator has a key symbol that appears in the lower left corner of the screen. When

receive your usual periodic statement of account, and adjustments may have been made to your account in connection with the preparation of your statement.
- Bill Payment Service.
- Payment Accounts. If you have enrolled in the optional bill payment service, you may use Bank of Pontiac online banking to initiate payments from any Deposit Account that is a checking account with unlimited check-writing
privileges (a "Payment Account") to pay obligations owed to certain third parties in the United States, including, without limitation, any Bank of Pontiac mortgage, installment loan, credit card or line of credit account. These types of
transactions are referred to in this Agreement as "bill payments". You may initiate individual bill payments and may pre-authorize recurring bill payments. You must designate the account used to process bill payment debits and any applicable
fees. Multilple checking accounts may be associated with the Bill Pay Service.
- Authorization. You agree that we may treat any bill payment that was initiated though Bank of Pontiac online banking by you or by any other person who is authorized to use your password the same as your duly executed written
payment order or check, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your deposit agreement with us.
- Time of bill payments. Each bill payment must be initiated a certain number of business days before the business day that you want the bill payment to be made (the "Payment Date"). This number of business days is referred
to as the "lead time". The lead time for the payee will be approximately 3 - 4 business days for electronic payments and approximately 5 business days by check. A bill may be paid as quickly as 48 hours from the receipt of your request.
You should schedule each bill payment to be made prior to the due date of the bill payment. If you do not schedule a bill payment on time or if you do not otherwise initiate a bill payment properly, you will be solely responsible for any
late charges, finances charges, or other costs resulting from failure to make the bill payment on time. You will be solely responsible for all inputting errors.
- Checks. If the payee cannot or will not accept a bill payment by electronic fund, a check will be generated and submitted to the payee. Although the check will not be signed by you, you agree that any check issued in this
manner to make a bill payment initiated in accordance with this Section will be deemed authorized and may be paid by the Bank from the Payment Account.
- Returned or rejected bill payments. If a bill payment is returned or rejected, whether by Bank of Pontiac or any third party (including, without limitation, an intermediary bank or the payee's bank), then Bank of Pontiac may
assess a Non Sufficient Funds (NSF) fee. You agree to furnish Bank of Pontiac any information as it may request to resolve any error or inquiry arising out of your initiation of any bill payment(s).

deleting the bill payment instructions, as provided in the online bill pay system, by notifying the Bank, or by canceling the bill payment service.
- Inconsistent name and number appearing in a bill payment order. If a bill payment initiated by you describes the intended recipient of funds inconsistently by name and account number, you agree that payment by the receiving
bank (which may be the Bank) may be made on the basis of the account number alone even if that account is not owned by the person named in the bill payment. If a bill payment identifies an intermediary bank or the payee's bank inconsistently
by name and identifying number, you agree that we may rely solely on the number as the proper identification of the intermediary bank or the payee's bank even if it identifies a bank different from the bank identified by name. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, you acknowledge and agree that your obligation to pay us the amount of the bill payment will not be excused in any circumstance described above and that you will reimburse us for any losses or expenses we incur
as a result of our reliance of the identifying number provided in the bill payment.
