Welcome to Bank of Shorewood! This agreement is provided to you
to explain the rules applying to your account(s). We are also bound by these rules. If
there is a conflict between this agreement and something said
by one of our employees we will follow the agreement. You agree
to this method of settling differences. As used in this agreement,
the word "we" means the Bank and the word "you"
means the account holder(s) and anyone else with the authority
to deposit, withdraw or exercise control over the funds in the
account.
LIABILITY
You agree to be bound by this agreement and the service charges
listed below. Charges can be deducted from the account balance.
Services requested but not listed in this agreement will also
be charged to and paid for by you. You will be held jointly and
severally liable for account deficits and any charges caused by
overdrafts to the account, in addition to any costs incurred by
us to collect the deficit, including, to the extent permitted
by law, reasonable attorney's fees.
LAW AND REGULATION
Applicable federal and Illinois laws and regulations govern your
account(s). The rules and regulations are subject to the Uniform
Commercial Code, and any agreement entered into by the Bank with
other associations which prescribe clearing house and settlement
procedures for items processed by the Bank.
DEPOSITS
The Bank may refuse to accept any item for deposit including
those items that are not properly endorsed or otherwise unacceptable
to us. Any noncash items deposited to your account (including
items drawn "on us") will be given provisional credit
only until final collection of the item. All transactions received
after our daily cut off time on a business day or on a day we
are not open for business, will be considered deposited on our
next business day. We are not responsible for transactions initiated
by mail or night depository until they are actually recorded.
WITHDRAWALS
Any account holder, as evidenced by a signature on the signature
card, may withdraw or transfer funds from the account on forms
provided by the Bank. Written notice is required to change any
authorized signers on the account. The Bank may refuse to pay
any withdrawal request against uncollected funds. We reserve the
right to refuse any withdrawal or transfer request, which does
not follow the rules applying to the account type. Repeated abuses
of the transfer request and any limitations will allow us to close
the account. On any interest bearing account, except Certificates
of Deposit, we reserve the right to require at least seven days
notice before a withdrawal or transfer would be processed.
OWNERSHIP OF ACCOUNT AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
These rules apply to this account depending on the form of ownership
and beneficiary designation, if any, specified on the account
records. Individual account - is an account in the name of one
person. Joint account with Survivorship -(and NOT as Tenants in
Common) - is an account in the name of two or more person. Each
of you intends that upon your death the balance in the account
(subject to any previous pledge to which we have consented) will
belong to the survivor(s). If two or more of you survive, you
will own the balance of the account as joint tenants with survivorship
and not as tenants in common. Corporate, Partnership, Sole Proprietorship
and Other Organizational Accounts - will usually request a separate
authorization form designating the person permitted and conditions
required for withdrawal from any account in the name of a legal
entity such as a partnership, corporation, or other organization.
We will honor such authorization according to its terms until
it is amended or terminated in writing by the governing body of
such organization. Revocable Trust of Pay-On-Death Account - Pay-On-Death
accounts may be created only if one person owns the account. Revocable
Trust accounts may be created by accounts with one or more owners.
If two or more of you create a Revocable Trust account, you own
the account jointly with survivorship. Beneficiaries of either
of these two account types cannot withdraw unless: 1) all persons
creating the account die and 2) the beneficiary is then living.
If two of more beneficiaries are named and all survive the death
of the owner(s) of the account, such beneficiaries will own this
account in equal shares, without right of survivorship. The person(s)
creating either a Pay-On-Death or Revocable Trust account reserve
the right to: 1) change beneficiaries, 2) change account types
and 3) withdraw all or part of the account funds at any time.
STOP PAYMENTS
If you do not want us to pay a check drawn on your account, you
may issue a stop payment order directing us to not pay the check.
The order must be received in time to give us reasonable opportunity
to act on it. The stop payment order must identify the account
number, date, amount, the check number, and the name of payee.
You must confirm an oral stop payment order in writing within
14 calendar days or we may not continue to honor the order. You
may also cancel the order at any time by making the request in
writing. The person initiating the order can only make the cancellation.
The Bank will accept a Stop Payment order from any Joint Account
holder regardless of who signed the check. The order is valid
for no more than six months. If a longer period is requested you
must issue a new order after the six month initial period.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
Telephone transfers of funds from one account to another account
are subject to the same restrictions as written withdrawals. If
your account is a savings account or money market account, no
more than six (6) transfers and/or withdrawals per month may be
to another of your accounts (minus the number of preauthorized
or automatic transfers during the month). No more than three (3)
of the six (6) transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card,
or similar order made by you and payable to third parties. Other
restrictions on account transfers are described elsewhere in this
Agreement.
AMENDMENTS
The Bank may amend this Agreement at any time without prior notice
if a change is favorable to you. If any change is adverse to you,
we will send you a written notice at least 30 calendar days in
advance of the effective date of the change. On Joint Accounts,
any notices to one person apply to all account holders. Written
notice is deemed given to you when sent to you (or any one of
joint owners) at the last address shown on the records of the
Bank. You agree to give the Bank prompt notice of any change in
address.
STATEMENTS
You must examine your statements and items with reasonable promptness
after we send them or make them available to you. If you find
a unauthorized signature or alteration, you must notify us promptly
and in any event not later than 60 days from when we send or make
your statement and items available to you. Failure to do so within
the allotted time frame may limit your ability to recover any
losses. If you do not satisfy these requirements then:
- you cannot assert the unauthorized signature or alteration
against us even if we are unable to show a loss due to your
failure and
- you cannot assert any unauthorized signatures or alterations
by the same wrongdoer on items paid by us after the reasonable
time mentioned above elapses, but before we receive your notice.
We lose these protections if we fail to exercise ordinary care
in paying an item with unauthorized signatures or alteration,
unless you do not notify us of the problem within 60 days of
when we send or make available to you the statement and items.
You must report any other problems within this 60 day period
or lose your right to assert the problem against us and the
loss will entirely be yours.
ACCOUNT TRANSFER
Your account(s) may not be transferred or assigned without the
Bank’s prior written consent.
DIRECT DEPOSITS
If in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any
amount in your account which should have been returned to the
Federal government or any other party for any reason, you authorize
us to deduct the amount of our loss from this account or from
any other account you have with us, without prior notice except
as prohibited By law. You also authorize us to use any other legal
remedy to recover our loss.
SETOFF
If you owe the Bank money, we may (without prior notice and when
permitted by law) setoff funds from any account in which you have
an interest to pay the debt. The Bank may charge or setoff the
entire amount of all debts, fees, (including reasonable attorney
fees which may include the cost of any attorney employed by us)
cost or expenses owed to us by you against all of the funds in
any account in which you have an interest. This right of setoff
does not apply to this account if: I) it is an Individual Retirement
Account or other tax-deferred retirement account, 2) the debt
is created by a consumer credit transaction under a credit card
plan, or 3) the debtor’s right of withdrawal arises only
in a representative capacity. You agree to hold us harmless from
any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right of
setoff.
AUTHORIZED SIGNERS
On an individual account you may give the right to make deposits
and withdrawals to other individuals, This does not imply that
they have an ownership interest in the account. An authorized
signer would be liable for any overdrafts they might cause. We
undertake no obligation to monitor transactions to determine that
they are on the owner’s behalf. FACSIMILE SIGNATURE - If
you wish us to honor a facsimile signature, you must notify us
in writing. If you do not, we may not honor such a signature and
in either case, we assume no liability when a facsimile signature
is issued.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS
We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks
you write unless we have agreed in writing to the restriction.
Examples of restrictive legends are “must be presented within
90 days” or "not valid for more than $500.00.”
POST-DATED AND STALE-DATED CHECKS
The Bank will not be liable for prematurely honoring any post-dated
check or honoring an old check. A check is deemed to be old if
it is presented more than six months after the date written on
it. If you do not want us to pay either type of check you must
institute a stop payment order with us.
UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
Illinois law establishes procedures under which unclaimed property must be surrendered to the state. Generally, the funds in
your account are considered unclaimed if you have not had any
activity or communication with us regarding your account over
a period of years. If your funds are surrendered to the state,
you may be able to reclaim them, but your claim must be presented
to the state. Once your funds are surrendered, we no longer have
any liability or responsibility with respect to the funds.
ABANDONMENT
Illinois law requires us to remit any abandoned property to the
state and the law presumes an account is abandoned unless there
is a transaction or certain other activity within five years.
Special rules apply to Certificates of Deposit. Posting to your
account is a transaction, but the posting of interest on the Bank’s
computer is not a transaction in regards to this law. If you don’t
respond to mail sent to the address on our records, your account
may be considered abandoned.
DORMANCY
The Bank considers a checking account or money market account
dormant if you have not deposited or withdrawn funds for six months.
Savings accounts without a deposit or withdrawal for one year
are considered dormant.
UTMA ACCOUNTS
Under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act the child owns the
funds in the account. The child has unconditional use of the account
when he or she reaches the age of majority. Before that time,
the account may be accessed only by the custodian (or successor
custodian), and the funds must be used for the benefit of the
child. We, however, have no duty or agreement whatsoever to monitor
or insure that the acts of the custodian (or successor custodian) are for the child’s benefit. For this type of account,
the child’s social security number/tax payer identification
number is used for the Backup Withholding Certification.
INDEMNITY
If you ask us to follow instructions that we believe might expose
us to claims, suits, losses, expenses, liabilities, or damages,
whether directly or indirectly, we may refuse to follow your instructions
or may require a bond or other protections. An example of the
kind of protection asked for would be your promise to protect
us against any claims (an indemnity).
ACCOUNT TERMINATION
We may terminate your account(s) upon reasonable notice to you
and tender the account balance personally or by mail. We may also
require you to close your account and open a new account if: 1)
there is a change in authorized signers, 2) there has been a forgery
or fraud committed involving your account, 3) any account checks
are lost or stolen, 4) you have too many transfers from your account,
or 5) any other provision is violated, and we may charge your
account a bank initiated account closure fee. You may terminate
your account by notifying us in writing. We are not responsible
for payment of any check withdrawal, or other item once your account
is terminated.
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
When you open an account you certify under penalty of perjury
that you have given us the proper tax identification number (social
security number) for the primary owner of the account. If we do
not receive the correct number or you fail to report your interest
income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on your tax return,
we may be instructed by the IRS to withhold a percentage of your
interest income as required by IRS code. Each year we will send
you a statement reflecting the interest earned during that year
so you can properly report it.
CANCELLED CHECK OPTIONS FOR TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS
If you have a transaction account, you will either receive a
reduced-sized image of the front of each cancelled check (“Imaged
Check”) with your monthly statement or you will receive
a detailed listing of each check paid on your monthly statement.
You will not ordinarily receive cancelled checks paid with your
statement. If you choose to receive your cancelled checks paid
during a statement cycle with your statement there is an additional
monthly charge of $6.00 for this service. At our discretion, we
may send a cancelled check in place of, or in addition to your
Imaged Check at no charge. If, for any reason, we fail to send
a cancelled check or Imaged Check, we will send, upon request,
a copy of the cancelled check at no charge to you. If you receive
Image Checks for your transaction account, the cancelled checks
will be destroyed after they have been paid. A copy of both front
and back of cancelled checks will be retained for seven years
following the relevant statement cycle. You may obtain a copy
of the front and back of any such check. We will charge a $1.00
fee for each copy, except if: 1) you have Imaged Check and we
failed to proved you with Imaged Check page(s) or 2) you require
a copy for proof of payment. By choosing Imaged Check, you agree
that your cancelled checks may be destroyed. You also agree to
hold us harmless from any loss that you may suffer because of
any claim against you that requires an original check to defend
such claim.
CHECK CASHING
We may refuse to cash a check drawn on your account if you have
insufficient funds in your account to cover the amount of the
check. At our discretion, we may refuse to cash a check drawn
on your account if it is presented at the teller window by a person
who is not our customer. You agree to waive any claim that you
may have against us if we refuse to honor a check under these
circumstances. You also agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless
for any losses, costs, damages, expenses, and liabilities, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees that we may incur in connection
with any claim or action resulting from our refusal to cash a
check for a non-customer.

give. The charge for stopping payment on a group of 3 or more
checks will be $40.00.
Notice of Varying Amounts -
If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are
going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when
it will be made and how much it will be. (You may choose instead
to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more
than previous payment or when the amount would fall outside certain
limits that you set.)
Liability for Failure to Stop Payment
of Preauthorized Transfer - If you order us to stop one
of these payments three business days or more before the transfer
is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your
losses or damages.
OUR LIABILITY
Liability for Failure to Make Transfers
- 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. However, there
are some exceptions. We will NOT BE liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money
in your account to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your over-draft
line.
- If the ATM where you are making the transfer does not have
enough cash.
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you
knew about a breakdown when you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood)
prevent the transfer despite reasonable precautions we have
taken.
- There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with
you.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD
PARTIES
We will disclose information to third parties about your account
or the transfers you make:
- where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
- in order to verify the existence of your account for a third
party, such as a credit bureau;
- in order to comply with government agency or court orders;
or
- in order to advise third parties of accounts closed for misuse;
or
- if you give us written permission.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Consumer Liability - Tell us
AT ONCE if you believe either your ATM card or Visa® Debit
Card and/or personal identification number (PIN) has been lost
or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible
losses down. You could lose all of the money in your checking
account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit.) If you tell
us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if
someone used your card without your permission.
If you do not tell us within two business days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your ATM card or Visa® Debit Card
and/or personal identification number (PIN), and we can prove
we could have stopped someone from using your ATM card of Visa®
Debit Card and/or personal identification number (PIN) without
your permission if you had told us, you can lose as much as $500.
Also, if your 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 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 you
do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to
you, you may not get back money lost after the 60 days and before
notice to the Bank.
Additional Limits on Liabuity for Visa® Debit Card when
used for point-of-sale transactions. So long as your account is
in good standing, you have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding
your Visa® Debit Card and you have not reported two or more
events of unauthorized use in the past twelve months, you will
get the benefit of Zero Liability in the event of the unauthorized
use of your Visa® Debit Card. Zero Liability does not apply
to cards issued to a business or PIN- based transactions not processed
by Visa.
Contact in Event of Unauthorized Transfer
- If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen
or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your
account without your permission, call or write us at the telephone
number or address listed below.
ERROR RESOLUTION
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 you can, if you think your statement or receipt is
wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed
on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than
60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem
or error appeared in order to limit your liability for losses.
- 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 tell you the results of our investigation within 10
business days 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 point-of-sale transaction
or a foreign initiated transfer or a new account open less than
30 calendar days) to investigate your complaint or question. If
we decide to do this we will provisionally re-credit your account
(subject to re-debiting if our investigation determines no error
occurred) within 10 business days for the amount you think is
in error, so that you will have the use of money during the time
it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put
your complaint or questions in writing and we do not receive it
with in 10 business days, we may not re-credit your account. If
we decide to grant provisional credit to your account, the Bank
will notify you of the availability of re-credited funds within
two (2) business days.
If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written
explanation within three business days after we finish our investigation.
If we re-credited your account and must debit it because no error
occurred, we will honor checks and drafts payable to third parties
and preauthorized transfers from the account of the provisionally
re-credited funds for five business days after the transmittal of
the notice. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used
in our investigation.
Bank of Shorewood

Shorewood, Illinois 60404
PHONE: (815) 744-4620
Business Days: Monday through Friday
This policy statement applies to “transaction” accounts.
Transaction accounts, in general, are accounts, which permit an
unlimited number of payments to third persons and an unlimited
number of telephone and preauthorized transfers to other accounts
of yours with us. Checking accounts are the most common transaction
accounts. Feel free to ask us whether any of your other accounts
might also be under this policy.
Our policy is to delay the availability of funds that you deposit
in your account. During the delay, you may not withdraw the funds
in cash and we may not use the funds to pay checks that you have
written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available
to you, and you have with drawn the funds, you are still responsible
for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for
any other problems involving your deposit.
WHEN FUNDS ARE CONSIDERED DEPOSITED
- Staffed Teller Station - Funds
are considered deposited when received by the teller. ATM - Funds
are considered deposited when placed in the ATM.
- Mail - Funds mailed to the
Bank are considered deposited on the business day they are received
by us.
- Business Day - A business
day is any day that the bank is open to the public for carrying
on substantially all business functions. A business day does
not include any Saturday, Sunday or Federal Holiday.
- Night Depository - Funds placed
in the night depository are considered deposited on the busi ness
day the deposit is removed and the contents are available for
processing.
DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF A DEPOSIT
The length of the delay is counted in business days from the
day of your deposit. Every day is a business day except Saturdays,
Sundays, and Federal Holidays, If you make a deposit before 2:00
p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that
day to be the day of your deposit. However if you make a deposit
after 2:00 p.m. or on a day we are not open, we will consider
that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit
and is explained below.
SAME-DAY AVAILABILITY
Funds from electronic direct deposits and cash to your account
will be available on the day we receive the deposit.
NEXT-DAY AVAILABILITY
Funds from the following deposits are available on the first
business day after the day of your deposit:
- U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you.
- Wire transfers.
- Checks drawn on Bank of Shorewood.
If you make the deposit in person to one of our employees, funds
from the following deposits are also available on the first
day after the day of your deposit:
- State and local government checks that are payable to you
if you use a special deposit slip available from a teller.
- Cashier’s, certified, and teller’s checks that
are payable to you if you use a special deposit slip available
from a teller.
- Federal government checks (such as Federal Reserve Bank checks,
Federal Home Loan Bank Checks, and postal money orders), if
these items are payable to you.
If you do not make your deposit in person to one of our employees
(for example, if you mail the deposit or make a deposit in a
Bank of Shorewood ATM), funds from these deposits will be available on the second business day after the day of your deposit.
OTHER CHECK DEPOSITS
The delay for other check deposits depends on whether the check
is a local or nonlocal check. To see whether a check is local
or a nonlocal check, look at the routing number on the check:
If the first four digits of the routing number (1234 in the examples
above) are 0710, 2710, 0711, 2711, 0712, 2712, 0719, 2719, the
check is a local check. Otherwise, the check is a non local check.
Some checks are marked “payable through” and have
a four- or nine-digit number nearby. For these checks, use the
four-digit number (or the first four digits of the nine-digit
number), not the routing number on the bottom of the check, to
determine if these checks are local or nonlocal. Our policy is
to make funds from local and nonlocal checks available as follows:
- Local Checks. The first
$100 from a deposit of local checks will be available on the
first business day after the day of your deposit. The remaining
funds will be available on the second business day after your
deposit.
For example, if you deposit a local check of $700 on a Monday,
$100 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $600
is available on Wednesday.
- Nonlocal Checks. The first
$100 from a deposit of nonlocal checks will be available on
the first business day after the day of your deposit. The remaining
funds will be available on the fifth business day after your
deposit.
For example, if you deposit a $700 nonlocal check on a Monday,
$100 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $600
is available on Monday of the following week.
- Local and Nonlocal Checks.
If you deposit both categories of checks, $100 from the checks
will be available on the first business day after the day of
your deposit, not $100 from each category of check. In either
case, only the first $100 of the daily aggregate deposits not
considered next day available, as defined above, will be made
available on the next business day.
If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we
may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds
that are already in your account. Those funds will be available
at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available
if you had deposited it.
If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank,
we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately,
but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount
of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us.
The funds in the other account would then not be available for
withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere
in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
Funds you deposit by check, except those items otherwise considered
next day available, may be delayed for a longer period under the
following circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
- You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six
months.
- There is an emergency, such as failure of communications
or computer equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds
for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds
will be available. They will generally be available no later than
the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.
SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS
If you are a new customer, the following special rules may apply
during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits and cash into your account
may be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from
deposits of wire transfers, U.S. Treasury checks, checks drawn
on Bank of Shorewood, and the first $5,000 of a day’s total
deposits of a cashier’s, certified, teller’s, travelers,
and federal, state and local government checks may be available
on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the
deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must
be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip).
The excess over $5,000 may be available on the ninth business
day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks
(other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one
of our employees, the first $5,000 may not be available until
the second business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits may be available on the
ninth business day after the day of your deposit.
DEPOSITS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE
Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at ATMs we do
not own or operate will not be available until the second business
day after the day of your deposit. This rule also applies at ATMs
that we own or operate.
All ATMs that we own or operate are identified
as such.
