Internet Security Information

Our Internet Banking Service is provided by Fiserv. Fiserv utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. In addition to log-on security, Fiserv uses the SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do in the Internet Banking system. This technology is automatically activated by your browser when it attempts to connect to our system and it will support 256 bit key lengths, although we will warn you when your browser is set to use the lower security level encryption of 256 bits. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the "secure session" by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet. In addition, our servers have been certified by a "Certificate Authority" that will assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone pretending to be us. (If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to than versions 4.0 on Netscape or Internet Explorer, the "Certificate Authorities" key may be expired and you may need to update it on your browser. You can obtain instructions on how to do this by clicking on the 3x Browser SSL Update link located here or above the "Enter" icon on the Internet Banking system login page.)

During your use of the Internet Banking Service, Fiserv will pass a "cookie" to your browser for identifying you during the session. This cookie only identifies your computer. Fiserv does not (and cannot) use cookies to collect or obtain new personal information about you. This cookie allows Fiserv to process multiple transactions during your session without requiring you to reenter your pass code for each individual transaction. The cookies for online banking simply provide another level of security for our Internet banking product. The Fiserv online banking system uses encrypted cookies that do not pass to your hard drive. Instead, the cookie is stored in the memory of your browser, identifying your computer while you are logged on. Only Fiserv can read the information in these cookies. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie is destroyed. A new cookie is used for each session. That way, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.

One of the main security features guarding the use of the Internet Banking system is the unique combination of your Access Code and Pass code. It is important that you keep your Pass code secret. We will not be liable for any losses resulting from you permitting other persons to use your Access Code and Pass code to access the system.
In addition to the security measures described above, there may be other security notices posted on the website regarding security issues. It is your responsibility to read all applicable notices. If you have more questions about our security systems for conducting financial transactions safely over the Internet, contact our Internet Banking department at 225-683-3371.

Registration Process

The Internet Banking service requires that you complete the initial enrollment process. This involves completing a small online form on our First Time Enrollment page.

Log-On Security

Security is very important to the Internet Banking Service. At the time you request the service, you will select a unique "Access ID" and then choose a "pass code" that will be used to gain access to the system. Prior to activation, the Internet Banking department will verify your identity and authorization to information associated with the account (s) that you request to be tied to the service. To ensure that you select a good secure pass code, our system uses a program called a "pass code cracker" that will not allow words found in a dictionary or associated with your name, address or other personal information. The system will provide helpful tips to help you select a good pass code.
To help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for 10 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your pass code and your session will continue where you left off.

Because your pass code is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully select a pass code that is hard to guess. The "pass code cracker will encourage you to stay away from names, dates, and information that may easily be guessed. Keep your pass code safe. Memorize your pass code and never tell it to anyone. You should change your pass code occasionally, such as every 90 days. This can be done at any time after you logged on from the "services" menu.

Accounts

You may request Internet access to any account that you are a signer or owner. If you desire services that allow you to initiate payments or transfers from the account, you will need the required withdrawal authority over the account to be able to complete the transaction. By using the Internet Banking Service, you agree to maintain one or more accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in any account to cover any transaction and fees that are ultimately approved by or related to the system. If the accounts added to the service are jointly held or have multiple signers, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your Access Code and Pass code are authorized unless we have been notified to cancel the service.

Fees for the Internet Banking Service

Internet Banking is available to our consumer and small business customers at no monthly charge for all the account information services and transfers. Landmark Cash Management is an exception and does incur a fee; contact your local branch or call 225-683-3371 for fees on this service. Bill Pay is an optional service available only for checking accounts. Fees for the Bill Payment service are listed below in the Bill Payment Service section.

Cancellation of Internet Banking

Your Internet Banking Service may be canceled at any time by this financial institution in whole or part without prior notice due to insufficient funds in one of your accounts or other circumstances that may create an unanticipated liability to us. You will remain responsible for all transactions approved by the system prior to the cancellation, and for any other fees associated with the service. After cancellation, service may be reinstated once sufficient funds are available in your accounts to cover any fees and other pending transfers or debits. In order to reinstate services, you must call Internet Banking Service Support at 225-683-3371.

Balance Inquiries, Bill Payments, and Transfer Limitations

You may use the Internet Banking Service to check the balance of your account (s) and to transfer funds among your accounts at this financial institution.  Landmark Bank limits the bill payment service to checking accounts only.

Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. The transfer request must be made before the cut-off time to be available for bill pay on the same business day. If you have further questions, contact us at 225-683-3371.
The balances are updated periodically and the system will display the most current "as of" date on the "accounts" summary page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances. The system will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for bill pays and account transfers.

Canceling or Changing Payments / Transfers

To stop recurring or pending bill payments and transfers you must log in and make edits to pending payments and transfers. You must make edits before our cut-off time 6:30 p.m. CST for any payments and transfers scheduled to be processed that business day. Up to that time, you may go into any pending payment and revise the amount (change to $0.00 to cancel) or payment information. You cannot cancel or edit a transfer once it has been approved, unless it has been prescheduled - in which case you have until our cut-off time 6:30 p.m. CST to cancel or edit the transfer instruction. If you accidentally transferred funds, simply schedule another transfer to move funds to back to the original account. Once processed, you cannot edit bill payments that are issued to payees electronically. If you need to issue a stop payment on bill payment issued by paper check contact us as soon as possible.

If you contact us verbally and direct us to stop a bill payment or transfer 3 business days or more before the transaction is scheduled to be deducted from your account, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages. We may provide you directions so that you can make the appropriate payment or transfer edits. If you contact us verbally, we may request that you put your request in writing.

Bill Payment Service

Enrolling in the service

You can enroll in our bill payment services by enrolling in our Online Banking service. For consumer accounts, Bill Pay is FREE of charge.

Small business accounts, the bill pay service has NO monthly fee.  Small business accounts setup as a Consumer is limited to 10 bill payments per month at NO monthly fee.   A business paying more than 10 bills per month must enroll in Business Online and PAY a monthly fee for this service.                                                      

If your account does not have sufficient funds to issue the scheduled payment, you may be charged an insufficient funds charge.

Although payments may be scheduled for the current business day or any date in the future at any time, they will only be processed once a day before our cut-off time 6:30 p.m. CST on any business day. (If you attempt to schedule a payment for that day after 6:30 p.m. CST the system will notify you that you need to change the date to the next business day. Anything scheduled on a non-business day, or after the cut-off time, will not be sent out until the following business day. Since we must forward the funds and billing information to the payee, some lead-time for payments is necessary. In general, the system will attempt to tell you when you can expect the payment to be received by the payee. The estimated payment delivery timeframe is typically shown on the check where you schedule the payment date below the amount line. Our system assumes the payee/vendor will promptly process the payment on the business day it is received. Any delays caused by the payee/vendor would result in additional days before the payment would show on their records. By using this service, you authorize us, and any third-party payment-processing agent we may use, to choose whatever method we feel is the most effective method to process your transaction.

The time frames generally will be determined by the way the payment is sent to the payee. If we or the bill payment-processing agent has to send a paper check in the US Postal system, we typically suggest sufficient time as five (5) business days prior to the payee receiving the payment for processing at their address. If the payee accepts the payment electronically, we generally define sufficient time as two (2) business days prior to the payee receiving the payment. In all cases, the payment should be delivered to the payee/vendor by the tenth business day after the payment was approved and charged to your account.

Our Liability for Failure to Make Payments, Transfers

It is our responsibility to process all bill payments and account transfers properly initiated through the Internet Banking system in accordance with this Agreement. We will be liable for damages, as specified below in the Payment Guarantee section of this Agreement, where the system caused a payment delay or failed to process a payment to be received by the payee/vendor by the tenth business day following the date your account was charged for the payment.

Transfers will be processed within one business day of the completed transfer transaction if the transfer request is made by 6:30 p.m. CST. We will not be liable if any of the following occurs.

If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the bill payment or transfer, or if the account has been closed. Your account must have sufficient collected funds to make the requested transfer. Certain deposits and balance transfers from other accounts may not be immediately available for bill payment. The amount of available funds will be calculated in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy, provided to you separately when your account was opened. If the payment or transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft protection account, or if the overdraft protection account has been closed. If your computer, software, telecommunication lines were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable, and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or bill payment. If you had knowledge of or questions about the possible malfunction of our system when you initiated the transaction. If circumstances beyond our control such as natural disasters (fire, flood, tornado, etc) or other uncontrollable circumstances (mail delays, telecommunication outages, power failures, etc) prevent proper completion and delivery of transactions despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. If you provide incomplete or inaccurate information to us regarding the account or transaction. It can be shown that the merchant or payee received the payment within the normal delivery timeframe and failed to process the payment through no fault of our service providers or ours. If your account has been tied up by legal proceedings (court order, garnishment) or other actions that prevent us from making a payment or transfer. We have reasonable basis for believing that unauthorized use of your access ID, PIN or pass code or designated account has occurred or may be occurring. If you default under the terms of this agreement, or any other legal agreement with us. If either Party terminates this Agreement.

Equipment

Internet banking and electronic delivery of statements requires that your Internet browser be (Secure Socket Layer) SSL compliant. Most popular browsers support this security feature. We require this to maintain our high security level. If you have an early version of the WebTV browser it will not be SSL compliant. However, the new version 2 and 3 currently support SSL. Some screens in Internet banking are maximized for computer users who can set their monitors to a resolution of 800x600 pixels. This requires WebTV users to scroll across on some pages. We cannot guarantee that Internet banking screens will appear as intended with WebTV browsers.

Our Internet banking system currently works with Netscape 6.0 and higher and with Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher, and we strongly recommend that you download the latest versions of your preferred browser software with 256-bit encryption. We encourage you to use 256-bit encryption if possible (also called "domestic" or "U.S." grade encryption)- though if you travel overseas you may want 40-bit access as well. The system will inform you when you log in whether you are using a 40-bit browser or not.

You are solely responsible for the maintenance, installations, and operation of your computer. This financial institution shall not be responsible for any errors, deletions, or failures that occur as a result of any malfunction of your computer or software, nor will we be responsible for any computer virus that affects your computer or software while using our Internet Banking Product. We encourage our customers to routinely scan their PC and diskettes using a reliable virus detection product. Undetected or unrepaired viruses may corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and even your hardware. Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit the virus to other computers.

By assessing our Internet Banking system, you agree that we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential costs, expenses, or damages (including lost savings or profit, lost data, business interruption, or attorney's fees.)

Wide Text Statements and other Special Printing Instructions

For certain accounts, our statement format may be wider than your browser's default printer setting support and may not automatically print correctly or cut off the right-hand side of the page. Our "help" section will explain how to change the browser's printer settings to show the entire statement. Additionally, many of our pages actually contain several areas of information. To print the section that you want, you may want to always click once in the area with the left mouse button to let the browser know which "frame" section you want to print.

The Service can be utilized by you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except when the Service is unavailable due to needed maintenance or system outages. The Bank is not responsible for the unavailability of the Remote Service or any damages that may result from its unavailability.

Images of Eligible Checks and associated deposit information received for processing by the Bank before 3:30pm CST Monday through Friday are typically available within two business days, except for federal holidays.

 

Confirmation of Receipt of Check Images

You will receive an electronic confirmation of receipt of the image of your Eligible Check upon the successful transmission of that image to the Bank.

We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete.

Availability of Funds

Funds deposited Monday through Friday before 3:30pm CST are typically available within two business days, except for federal holidays.

The Bank’s funds availability exception policies, as fully set forth in disclosures, also apply to deposits made via the Remote Service. Please refer to your Account Agreement for an explanation of those exception policies. In the event the Bank receives a check image for deposit where it has reason to doubt the collectability of that deposit, the Bank may delay the availability of that deposit for a reasonable period of time until the item is either paid or returned. In such cases, the Bank will notify you of this action. The Bank reserves the right to change our Funds Availability policy, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable laws.

VIII.  Additional Provisions for Consumer AccountsOnly

Liability for Unauthorized Use (Consumers/Personal Accounts Only)

Tell us at once if you believe your Online Banking password has been compromised or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in your account (plus any amount available under your overdraft protection, if applicable).

If you tell us within 2 Business Days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone uses your Access ID and Password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access ID and Password, and the Bank could have reasonably stopped someone from using the Access ID and Password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows any electronic funds transfers that you did not make or authorize, notify us at once. If you do not notify us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason kept you from telling us, we may, at our sole discretion, extend the time periods.

If you authorize someone else to use your Access ID and password, you are responsible for all transactions which that person initiates at any time, even if the amount of the transaction or number of transactions exceeds what you authorize.

If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days.

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 (90 days for new accounts) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the 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 your letter within 10 Business Days, we reserve the right to not provisionally credit your account.

We will tell you the results within 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.
