3. ONLINE BANKING SECURITYOne of the most important security features protecting Your Online Banking Account(s) is the unique combination of Your User ID and Password. Pass- words are the first line of defense against hackers and cyber criminals. Protect Your Account(s) by creating a unique password-one that You don't use for any other website-that is complex and difficult to guess. Complex passwords are long and contain numbers, symbols, and a mixture of capital and lower case letters. Avoid using names of family members or other publicly available information. Memorize Your password or keep it in a safe place. Never tell Your password to anyone. We recommend that You change Your password every 30 to 60 days. Change Your password immediately if You suspect that someone has learned Your password. To change Your password, go to Preferences, click on Security, go to the Password Tab and follow the instructions for changing Your password.
If You suspect that Your User ID and Password have been lost, stolen, obtained by an unauthorized person or used without Your permission, call Us as soon as possible at (800) 625-9066 or (502) 582-2571. You could lose all the money in Your Account(s) plus the maximum overdraft line of credit or the balance in any other account connected to Your Account for overdraft protection. If Your Account is a Consumer Account, You have additional rights under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. You received a statement of these rights when You opened Your Account. You will find another statement of these rights in Section 17, “Special Disclosures for Consumer Accounts.”
Our employees will never contact You by phone or email You to request Your User ID or Password, but if You need assistance with an Online Banking transaction or You have a question about Your Account, please call Us at 800-625-9066 or 502-582-2571 to speak with a Customer Service Representative. Call us immediately at 800-625-9066 or 502-582-2571 if someone calls or emails You to request access information for Your Account.
We will not be liable for any losses You may sustain if You allow someone else to use Your User ID and Password to access Online Banking. Once You give this information to someone else, that person will have full access to Your Accounts, even if You only intended to give that person limited authority to perform transactions or obtain information about Your Accounts. You understand and agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of User ID and Password will be considered authorized unless We have been notified to cancel Your Online Banking service. If Your User ID and Password are for a Business Account, we will not be liable for Your negligence in protecting that information.
In addition to protecting Your User ID(s) and Pass- word(s), You should protect all Your personal information, for example, Your social security number, driver's license number, or Tax Identification Number. When combined with an Account number, this information may be used to gain access to Your Accounts. You should also protect and secure all information stored in Your computer or any other device You use to access Online Banking.
We recommend that You maintain and regularly install updates to operating systems and software systems as well as to anti-virus and malware protection on any device You use for Online Banking. You should regularly scan Your computer and mobile devices for viruses and malware, and You should have firewall and intrusion detection/prevention software or services on devices You use to connect to Online Banking. See, Section 18, "Special Provisions for Business Accounts", for security measures appropriate in a business environment.
When You access Online Banking, We will pass a "cookie" to Your browser to identify You during the Online Banking session. We do not (and cannot) use cookies to obtain new information about You. A cookie is security data that is passed to a browser by a web server and is then returned by the browser in subsequent transactions to identify the user and encryption information. When You log onto Online Banking, the cookie enables Us to process multiple transactions during the session without requiring You to enter Your User ID and Password for each transaction. Please watch our Online Banking website for news of additional security measures.
4. DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
In order to provide many of Our Online Banking services, We must disclose information about Your Accounts and Account transactions to third parties who provide services to Us or to You. We may also disclose Your Account information to third parties in order to complete Your transactions, in connection with Our investigation of any claim You may make, to comply with government agency or court orders, when we have Your written permission, and in other circumstances that are disclosed in Our Privacy Policy. You will find a copy of Our current Privacy Policy on Our website, www.syb.com. Just click on Privacy Policy.5. ONLINE BANKING FEES
Individuals and certain small businesses pay no fees for using most of Our Online Banking services, but all other Account service fees and charges, for example, insufficient or over limit fees, apply. You should check our current list of service fees and charges as well as Your basic Account Agreement for applicable Account fees and charges.6. BALANCE INQUIRIES
You may use Online Banking to check Your Account balance. Your Online Account balance may be different from the balance in Your records for several reasons. For example, processing of a deposit or funds transfer to or from Your Account may not have been completed, or a check You have written may not have cleared. Deposits made on mobile devices usually take longer to process than deposits made at a branch location. Account balances are updated periodically, and the balance You see in Online Banking is the most current "as of" the date on the Account overview page. If You have a question about Your Account balance, please speak with a Customer Service Representative at (800) 625-9066 or (502) 582-2571.7. INTERNAL TRANSFERS
You may request us to transfer funds to or from any eligible Bank Account that has been approved for Online Banking. Transfers processed before 7:00 p.m. will be credited the same day. If You request and approve a transfer on a day that is not a Bank Business Day, We will treat Your transfer request as having been made on the next Business Day. If You approve a transfer after the Online Banking Cut-off time, You will be advised to reenter the transaction with a later transfer date. Accounts approved for Internal Transfers are subject to transfer limitations applicable to that Account, for example, the six-per-month limits on automatic transfers from a Money Market Deposit Account. In addition, We may impose holds or other restrictions on transfers from Your Account if We suspect suspicious Account activity or to protect the security or integrity of the Online Banking service. We may terminate Your use of Our Internal Transfer service, reject or reverse any transactions You initiate, and/or restrict Your right to transfer or receive funds at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, excessive use, using the transfer service (directly or indirectly) for an unlawful purpose, and tampering, hacking, modifying, or otherwise attempting to corrupt the security or functionality of the Internal Transfer service.8. OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE INTERNAL TRANSFERS TO OR FROM CONSUMER ACCOUNTS
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. There are some exceptions to this liability. We will not be liable if:- THROUGH NO FAULT OF OURS, YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT FROM WHICH A TRANSFER IS TO BE MADE, OR IF THE ACCOUNT HAS BEEN CLOSED OR IS NOT IN GOOD STANDING, OR IF WE REVERSE A TRANSFER BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT FUNDS
- IF A TRANSFER WOULD EXCEED THE CREDIT LIMIT OF AN ACCOUNT
- IF YOUR EQUIPMENT OR OURS WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE BREAKDOWN SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPARENT TO YOU WHEN YOU ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE TRANSACTION
- IF YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN US COMPLETE, CORRECT OR CURRENT ACCOUNT NUMBERS OR OTHER IDENTIFYING INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN PROPERLY CREDIT YOUR ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION
- IF YOU DO NOT PROPERLY FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTIONS OR IF YOU PROVIDE US WITH INACCURATE INFORMATION, AND YOU FAIL TO CORRECT OR TELL US ABOUT ANY INACCURACY OF WHICH YOU BECOME AWARE

E-mail messages outside Online Banking are not secure. Do not send Us or ask for sensitive information, such as, Account numbers, Pass- words, or Account information, via email. If You wish to contact Us electronically, please use the Message feature in the Services menu. Generally, we will review a Message within one Business Day, but if the matter is urgent, please call Us at 800-625-9066 or 502-582-2571 or stop by any Branch. You should not use the Message feature to report an unauthorized transaction or to stop a scheduled transfer or to order a stop pay on a check.
10. ALERTS
Our Alerts service gives You the option to request and receive unencrypted email or text messages about Your eligible Accounts by means of a person- al computer, text enabled telephone, or other wireless communications device. Although We do not charge for Alerts, Your communications service provider may impose its own fees. When You give us an email address or telephone number to which Alerts may be sent, You authorize Us to send Alerts to that email address or telephone number even though someone who is not an Account owner may access the email or text message. You authorize Us to telephone You as early or as late as the time You select when setting up the Alert at the telephone number You give us even though the number may be on a state or federal Do Not Call list.We will send You an Alert after a selected triggering event has occurred. For example, if You opt to receive "Security Alerts", we will notify You of important Account activity, such as, a change in Password. A Security Alert may help You detect unauthorized activity.
We offer the Alerts service as a convenience to Our customers, and You acknowledge that the Bank will not be liable for losses or damages You may incur because of non-delivery, delayed delivery, or misdirected delivery of an Alert; because of inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or because of Your reliance on or use of the information in an Alert for any purpose. Your receipt of Alerts may be delayed or prevented by problems experienced by Your communications provider or other circumstances beyond Our control. Alerts do not constitute an official Bank record of Your Account. We may add new Alerts or eliminate existing Alerts at any time. We will post notice of any changes through the Message feature of Online Banking.

The selection of an eligible mobile device is Your responsibility, and We do not endorse, recommend, warranty, or make any representation about any product on the list of eligible mobile devices.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
(a) Consumer Liability. Tell Us at once if You believe Your User ID or Password has been lost or stolen, or if You believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without Your permission.

If You tell us within 2 business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your User ID or Password, You can lose no more than $50 if someone used Your User ID or Password without Your permission. Also, if You do NOT tell Us within 2 business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your User ID or Password and We can prove We could have stopped someone from using Your User ID or Password without Your permission if You had told Us, You could lose as much as $500. Also, if Your Account 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 provided 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 (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept You from telling Us, We will extend the time period.
ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
In case of errors or questions about Your electronic transfers, call or write Us at the telephone number or address listed below, as soon as possible, if You think Your statement is wrong or if You need more information about a transfer listed on the statement. We must hear from You no later than 60 days after We sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.- Tell Us Your name and account number (if any).
- Describe the error or the transfer You are unsure about, and explain as clearly as You can why You believe it is an error or why You need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If You tell Us orally, 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 (or 20 business days if the transfer involved a new Account) 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 if the transfer involved a new Account) to investigate Your complaint or question. If We decide to do this, We will credit Your Account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new Account) 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 com- plaint or question in writing and We do not receive it within 10 business days, We may not credit Your Account. An Account is considered a new account for 30 days after the first deposit is made, if You are a new customer.
We will tell You the results within three 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.

Any portion of a security procedure may be provided or administered by Bank or a third-party service provider selected by Bank. Bank may use or change a third-party service provider at any time, without notice to Customer. Use of a third-party service provider will not affect the commercial reasonableness of any security procedure or Customer's liability.
d) Customer has made an independent assessment of the security procedure and agrees that it is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized Payment Orders. Further, each time Customer uses a Service, including making a Payment Order, Customer agrees that the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized Payment Orders.
e) Customer understands and agrees that the use of any Service, and thereby any Payment Order, including through ACH Origination or Wire Transfer Services, verified by Bank using an applicable security procedure will be deemed authentic, to have been carried out directly by and on behalf of Customer, and will be effective as the order of Customer, regardless of whether or not authorized.

f) Customer will notify Bank immediately if it is unable to locate any token or security device, as applicable, or believes or has any reason to suspect that any portion of a security procedure has been or is in jeopardy of being compromised.

If these Electronic Banking Terms are terminated, or Bank determines it is necessary at any time, any portion of the security procedure, including any token or security device, as applicable, provided or made available by Bank will be immediately returned to Bank.
g) Bank may revise, update, or replace a security procedure, in whole or in part, at any time upon notice to Customer.

a) Customer understands that all portions, aspects, and details of the security procedure, including User IDs, passwords, and security devices, are confidential.

Customer agrees to:(i) prohibit Authorized Users from sharing User IDs or passwords;
(ii) require that each Authorized User change their password (A) on a periodic basis; (B) any time instructed by Bank; and (C) any time the Authorized User has reason to believe that any other person may know their password;
(iii) periodically review all Authorized Users to determine whether each should be entitled to view, access, or control an Account or use any Service;
(iv) use the "self-service" functionality of any Service, if available, to immediately remove any Authorized User Customer deems no longer authorized to view, access, or control Customer's Account or use any Service, and any Authorized User that leaves Customer's employment.

(v) institute an internal review process whereby before any Payment Order can be made or released, such Payment Order must be (A) reviewed to ensure that it is for an amount within the purported Authorized User's internally established authority ("threshold control") and (B) approved by at least one other person ("dual control"); and
(vi) keep all Components (as defined in Section 17 below) used for any Services up-to-date in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, industry standards, and as otherwise required by Bank.

All deposits, including Items and Entries, are received subject to Bank's acceptance and receipt of final payment. Bank may return or refuse all or any part of a deposit or credit to an Account, at any time, and will not be liable to Customer even if doing so causes outstanding Items drawn on an Account to be dishonored or returned or for a Payment Order to be rejected. Bank may revoke any provisional credit given to Customer if final payment is not received even if such revocation results in or increases an overdraft. Bank may agree with other parties, including banks and clearing houses, to vary the procedures and deadlines regarding the processing and collection of any portion of a deposit to the extent permitted by law. In processing or collecting any Item, Bank has the sole discretion to determine the method, including electronically, and may use third-party service providers, clearing houses, or other banks.
