| DEPOSIT ACCOUNT INFORMATION
RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
Effective
June 1, 2010
The Rules and Regulations Regarding Deposit
Accounts (the “Agreement”)
govern the deposit relationship between
you and Cole Taylor Bank (“Cole Taylor”).
This Agreement is governed by laws of the
State of Illinois (unless such laws are
specifically preempted by federal law)
other applicable laws, which include the
Illinois Uniform Commercial Code, clearing
house rules, and the operating letters
of the various Federal Reserve Banks. If
any terms of this Agreement come into conflict
with any applicable law, those terms will
be nullified to the extent that they are
inconsistent with the law, and the applicable
law will govern. If any provision of this
Agreement is declared to be invalid, unenforceable
or illegal, that part will not affect the
validity of the other provisions.
For purposes of this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” mean
each account owner and anyone else with
authority to deposit, withdraw, or exercise
control over your account. If there is
more than one owner, these words mean each
account owner separately, and all account
owners jointly. The words “we”, “us”,
or “our” refer to Cole Taylor.
When you sign our Account Agreement
and Signature Verification Card you acknowledge
receipt of this Agreement and agree to
be bound by the terms and conditions contained
herein. This Agreement is a legally binding
contract, so please read and retain it
so that you can refer to it whenever you
have questions regarding your account.
Each separate account you establish with
us may be subject to additional terms and
conditions, evidenced by a separate agreement
applicable to that account.
If you have further questions about your
account or any of the products and services
we offer after your review of this Agreement,
please contact our Customer Service Center.
Oral statements made by any employee of
Cole Taylor will not alter or modify this
Agreement.
You agree that if you have a business (i.e.,
a corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or any other legal entity) account
with us, all controversies, disputes or
claims arising out of or related to this
Agreement, including, without limitation,
controversies regarding the validity of
this Agreement and any compulsory counterclaims
(as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure), but, excluding collections
of amounts due to us, will be submitted
for binding arbitration to the Chicago,
Illinois, office of the American Arbitration
Association on demand by you or Cole Taylor.
Such arbitration proceeding will be conducted
in Chicago, Illinois, and will be heard
by one arbitrator in accordance with the
then-current rules of the American Arbitration
Association. All matters relating to arbitration
will be governed by the Federal Arbitration
Act (9 U.S.C. section 1, et seq.) and not
by any state arbitration law. The decision
and award of the arbitrator shall be binding
and conclusive upon both you and Cole Taylor,
and enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have
the right to award or include in the award
any lawfully appropriate relief and to
assess costs or expenses to either you
or Cole Taylor, or both. The provisions
of this section will continue in full force
and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding
the termination of this Agreement. You
and Cole Taylor hereby expressly agree
to waive any right to a trial by jury in
connection with any controversies, disputes
or claims arising out of or related to
this Agreement.
ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
We require identification and taxpayer
information in order to open an account.
To help the government fight the funding
of terrorism and money laundering activities,
federal law requires financial institutions
to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies each person who opens
an account. This means that, when you
open an account, we will ask you for
your name, address, date of birth,
taxpayer identification number, and
other information
that will allow us to identify you.
We may also ask to see your current
and
valid driver’s license or other
identifying documents. We may also
independently verify your identity
through the comparison
of identifying information you have
provided with information we obtain
from a consumer
reporting agency, public database or
other source. Accordingly, you agree
to provide true, accurate, and complete
information on all forms required by
us and agree to inform us in writing
if there is a change to such information.
In order to comply with various federal
and state laws regarding the privacy and
security of your account information and
for your protection, we may ask you to
verify your identity by asking you to provide
specific account or other information before
allowing any transactions to occur on your
account.
You agree that we may procure an investigative
report including information as to the
credit worthiness, character, and general
reputation, whichever are applicable, of
any person or entity for which the account
is established.
In our sole discretion, we may refuse to
open any account, refuse to accept additional
deposits into an account, and terminate
check-writing privileges.
We reserve the right to terminate this
Agreement and close your account for
any reason, unless prohibited from doing
so
by applicable law. This Agreement will
continue to govern any closed account.
- You
shall notify us in writing of any change
in the information you supplied to us
at the time of the establishment
of your account.
- In receiving and handling
items for deposit or collection
(including items
received in payment of collections),
we
act only as your collecting agent
and assume no responsibility beyond the
exercise
of
due care. Certain items are credited
or cashed subject to final payment
in cash
or solvent credits. We will not
be liable for default or negligence of
our correspondents,
nor for losses in transit, and
each correspondent shall be liable for
its own negligence.
It is optional, but not obligatory,
to require certification in any case.
Cole
Taylor or our correspondents may,
as your agent, send items directly or
indirectly,
to any bank or to any drawee, acceptor,
or payor, and accept draft, check,
or credit
as conditional payment in lieu
of cash. Our liability for deposits made
by U.S.
Mail or in outside depositories
will be delayed until the deposits are
recorded
by us.
- The funds you deposit to
your account are subject to normal
collection
processes even after we make the funds
available
to you for withdrawal (i.e., the
check “cleared”).
If we do not collect the funds
or we need to return the funds, your
deposit
will
be reversed and become your responsibility.
- We may present any item for collection
to any Federal Reserve
Bank and such
items shall be subject to the rules
and regulations
of such Federal Reserve Bank or
the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System
now in force or hereafter promulgated.
- As
part of our business practice, including
the opening and maintenance
of your account,
you agree and provide us authorization
to allow us to review from time
to time your credit report from
a consumer-reporting
agency or review information from
a public database or any other
source.
- If we determine that your
actions or the actions of those also
on
your account
are unsatisfactory, we may report
information about you and any joint
account holder
to a consumer-reporting agency
and/or any other source, as allowed
by applicable
law. If you disagree with the information
provided by us, please contact
our Customer Service Center which
will process your
complaint. Such complaint will
be answered by us in writing.
- If
you are the victim of identity theft,
and such theft includes
the assets of any
account you maintain with us, please
immediately contact our Customer
Service Center which
will, as soon as practicable, place
you in contact with our Investigations
Department.
- As part of our business
practice, we may record our conversations
with you.
Unless required by applicable law,
we may not remind you that such
conversations
are being recorded.
- You agree that
we may comply with any state or federal
legal
process, including
without limitation, any garnishment,
tax
levy, subpoena or other similar
proceeding related to your account.
You agree that
we may comply with such process
even if the legal process affects
the interest
of only one owner of a joint account.
When
we are served with legal process
regarding your account, we may
refuse to permit
withdrawals or transfers from your
account and we may
remove funds from your account
and maintain them in a separate
account until such
legal process is satisfied or dismissed,
even
if such actions result in insufficient
funds to pay any obligation you
have incurred. We charge fees for
responding
to legal
process involving your account.
The fees are listed in our Fee
Schedule, defined
later in this Agreement. You agree
to release and indemnify, defend
and hold
us harmless
from all actions, claims, liabilities,
losses, costs and damages, including
without limitation, expenses, court
costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees associated
with our compliance with any legal
process.
You
agree that you shall not be entitled
to receive interest on any funds
we hold or
maintain in a separate account
in connection with or response
to legal process. To
the extent that any deposit accounts
are entitled
to exemption from legal process,
you agree to waive such exemption.
Exempt
deposits
include without limitation, any
social security, supplemental security
income,
veterans or other federal or state
benefits.
- We may, on occasion, restrict
access to your deposits, such as
when you initially
deposit funds to open an account.
Please see our Funds Availability
Disclosure,
provided later in this Agreement,
for further details.
- If we receive
notice of an actual or potential adverse
claim
to your account
or the funds in your account, we
may in
our sole discretion, refuse to
pay out any money from your account
for a reasonable
period after receipt of notice
of the actual or potential claims.
Although
we reserve
our right to pay out any money
from your account if it has received
notice of
an actual or potential claim, we
are not required
to recognize any adverse claim
unless (i) the claimant provides
us with an
acceptable
bond indemnifying us against all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs
and expenses,
allocated in-house attorney fees
and reasonable attorneys’ fees
that might be incurred by us in
connection with payment of the
adverse claim and
any dishonored checks or other
items, (ii)
the claimant has obtained an order
from a court of competent jurisdiction
in
a case in which you are made a
party and
served with a summons, or (iii)
you act as a fiduciary for the
claimant and the
claimant gives us an affidavit
setting forth the nature of your
fiduciary relationship
and the facts upon which the claimant
has reasonable cause to believe
that you are
about to misappropriate funds.
- You
agree to be liable to us for any
loss, costs or expenses,
allocated
in-house
attorney fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees,
to the extent permitted by law,
that we incur as a result of any
dispute involving
your account. You authorize us
to deduct any such loss, costs
or expenses, allocated
in-house attorney fees and reasonable
attorneys’ fees
from your account without prior
notice to you. This obligation
includes disputes
between you and Cole Taylor involving
your account and situations where
we become
involved in disputes between you
and an authorized signor, another
joint owner,
or a third party takes action with
respect to the account that causes
us, in good
faith, to seek the advice of counsel,
whether
or not we actually become involved
in a dispute.
- We endeavor to forward
items payable on the day of receipt,
but it is understood
that items need not be forwarded
until the following business day.
- If
you ever owe us money as a borrower,
guarantor or otherwise,
and it becomes
due, we have the right under law
(called “setoff”)
and under this Agreement, you agree
to grant us a security interest
in your deposit
account and authorize us to use
the money from your account to
pay the debt. We may
use the money to pay the debt even
if such a withdrawal results in
an interest penalty
or dishonor of checks or any other
obligation that you have incurred.
In the case of
a partnership or a joint account,
each partner or joint account holder
agrees
that we may use the money in their
individual accounts to satisfy
obligations of the
joint account or partnership account.
You agree that the security interest
granted
by this Agreement is consensual
and is in addition to our right
of setoff. However,
the right of setoff and security
interest may not apply to your
account if (i) it
is an IRA or a tax-deferred Keogh
Retirement Account; (ii) the debt
is created by a
consumer credit transaction under
a credit card plan; or (iii) the
debtor’s
right of withdrawal arises only
in a representative capacity.
- We
reserve our right to refuse certain
deposits, including checks
with multiple
payees or endorsements, third party
checks or double endorsed government
checks
and checks which we believe, in
our sole discretion,
to be uncollectible.
- We shall have
no duty to pay any items, including checks,
which
would
overdraw
your account, regardless of the
frequency with which we may have
done so in the
past.
- If any account is established
by two or more individuals, it
is agreed
that
all funds now or hereafter deposited
in that account, are and shall
be, the joint
property and owned by you as joint
tenants with the right of survivorship
and not
as tenants in common unless otherwise
clearly indicated by such individuals
to the contrary.
- We reserve the
right to change the terms and conditions
contained
in this
Agreement, which may include adding
or deleting certain terms and conditions
entirely or partially. We recommend
that
you retain
all notifications from us describing
any account changes. Changes that
we notify
you of (either voluntarily or as
required by law) will be provided
to the last
address you have provided to us
in writing. Your
continued use of your account will
be deemed as your acceptance of
such amended,
modified
or supplemental terms, service
fees and rules and regulations
for the account
then in effect. If any changes
in this Agreement,
the service fees on any account,
or the rules and regulations for
any account
are unacceptable to you, your exclusive
remedy
is to terminate your account.
- We
are not liable for any circumstances
beyond our control, generally called
an “Act
of God.” Such circumstances
include, but are not limited to,
natural disasters;
local, regional or national emergencies;
legal inability to take anticipated
action; and the loss of equipment
to process
transactions or account data for
any reason.
- Our delay in enforcing
our rights under this Agreement
shall
not prevent
us from
enforcing those rights at a later
date. A waiver of any provision
of this Agreement
by us applies only to the specific
facts and circumstances related
to such waiver
and shall have no effect on future
situations and in no way represent
a course of dealing
or modification of this Agreement
between you and Cole Taylor.
- You
agree that you shall release and indemnify,
defend and hold
harmless Cole
Taylor, its parent, and its respective
employees, agents, officers and
directors (collectively, the “Indemnitees”)
from and against all claims, demands,
liabilities, judgments and costs
(including expenses,
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees)
that may be made, asserted, or
entered against or incurred by
the Indemnitees,
which in any way arise from, are
incident to, grow out of or are
connected with
your request that we undertake
and complete certain currency and/or
coin counting
services
under the terms of this Agreement,
whether such claims, demands, liabilities,
judgments
and costs are based upon negligence,
strict liability in tort, breach
of statutory duty, breach of any
obligation arising
under this Agreement or breach of warranty.
Duty to Examine Your Statement
Statements are made available to you by
mail (or any other method we offer and
that you authorize) at the last address
you have provided to us in writing. You
should carefully examine the statement
and images of cancelled checks when you
receive them. If you feel that there
is an error on the statement, images
of cancelled checks, or that some unauthorized
person has withdrawn funds from your
account, you should notify us immediately.
You agree that you are in the best position
to discover any unauthorized transactions,
which include forged or missing signatures
and any error, material alteration, or
counterfeit check. You agree that we
will not be liable for paying such items
if (i) you did not exercise reasonable
care in examining your statement and
images of cancelled checks or you have
not reported unauthorized signatures
or alterations to us within thirty (30)
calendar days of the mailing of the earliest
statement containing these items, or
(ii) these items were drawn without authority
or altered so cleverly (as by unauthorized
use of a facsimile machine or otherwise)
that the lack of authorization or alteration
could not be detected by a reasonable
person and you were negligent in some
manner. If you have elected not to receive
copies of images of cancelled checks
in your statements, the images of cancelled
checks or legible copies will be made
available to you within a reasonable
time after your written request is received
by us that sufficiently identifies the
checks requested. You agree that you
will pay any service fee which we may
require for the retrieval and copying
of the requested checks.
Please refer
to our Electronic Fund Transfer
Disclosure and our Substitute
Checks and Your Rights, contained herein, for any
consumer (i.e., an account established
for personal,
household or family use)
electronic banking transaction.
Remotely Created Checks
Like any standard check or draft, a remotely
created check (sometimes called a telecheck,
pre-authorized draft or demand draft)
is a check or draft that can be used
to withdraw money from an account. Unlike
a typical check or draft, however, a
remotely created check is not issued
by the paying bank and does not contain
the signature of the account owner (or
a signature purported to be the signature
of the account owner). In place of a
signature, the check usually has a statement
that the owner authorized the check or
has the owner’s name typed or printed
on the signature line. For example, if
a person provides an account number in
response to a telephone solicitation,
the telephone solicitor can use the account
to issue a remotely created check to
withdraw money from that account.
You warrant and agree to the following
for every remotely created check we receive
from you for deposit or collection: (1)
you have received express and verifiable
authorization to create the check in the
amount and to the payee that appears on
the check; (2) you will maintain proof
of the authorization for at least two (2)
years from the date of authorization, and
supply us the proof if we ask; and (3)
if a check is returned, you owe us the
amount of the check, regardless of when
the check is returned. We may take funds
from your account to pay the amount you
owe us, and if there are insufficient funds
in your account, you still owe us the remaining
balance.
NOTICE TO COMMERCIAL
CUSTOMERS
In accordance with the requirements of
the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement
Act of 2006 and Regulation GG, this notice
is to inform you that restricted transactions
are prohibited from being processed through
your account or relationship with our institution.
Restricted transactions are transactions
in which a person accepts credit, funds,
instruments or other proceeds from another
person in connection with unlawful Internet
gambling.
ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES
Checking Accounts
A checking account is a non-interest bearing
account from which collected funds on deposit
may be withdrawn at any time and without
any prior notice (on demand) by a properly
completed negotiable instrument called
a check. You have unlimited check writing
privileges. Statements will be issued monthly
for all checking accounts. All transactions
for the month will be indicated on the
statement. The account will consist of
two sub accounts: a transaction account
and a savings account. At various times
during a statement cycle we may transfer
funds between the sub accounts. In the
event of the sixth transfer from the savings
account to the transaction account in a
statement period, the entire account balance
would be transferred to the transaction
account for the remainder of the statement
period. This sub account activity will
not appear on your monthly statement and
will not affect your account usage in any
way.
Interest Checking and Money Market Accounts
Interest checking accounts (“NOW
Accounts”) and money market accounts
are interest-bearing accounts from which
you can withdraw collected funds by means
of a properly completed instrument called
a negotiable order of withdrawal. While
a negotiable order of withdrawal is similar
to a check, we reserve the right to require
seven (7) calendar days prior notice before
paying a negotiable order of withdrawal
or before permitting any other form of
withdrawal. We use the daily-balance method
to calculate the interest on your account.
This method applies a daily periodic rate
to the collected principal balance in the
account each day. Interest is compounded
monthly and begins to accrue on the business
day the account is opened, provided funds
are collected. Interest is payable on your
statement cycle date and will be credited
to your account on that date. If your account
is closed prior to the end of the statement
cycle, you will not receive the accrued
interest for that period. The account will
consist of two sub accounts: a transaction
account and a savings account. At various
times during a statement cycle we may transfer
funds between the sub accounts. In the
event of the sixth transfer from the savings
account to the transaction account in a
statement period, the entire account balance
would be transferred to the transaction
account for the remainder of the statement
period. This sub-account activity will
not appear on your monthly statement and
will not affect your account usage in any
way.
Interest Checking Accounts
The interest rate and annual percentage
yield earned on your interest checking
account may vary and will be subject to
change at any time by us in our sole discretion.
Further, the amount of any rate change
will be within our sole discretion. Interest
will not be paid for any day your collected
balance is under the stated minimum to
earn interest. The monthly maintenance
fee may be waived if you maintain the required
minimum balance. There is no limit on the
number of withdrawals you may make. Federal
law prohibits entities organized for profit,
including corporations, partnerships and
limited liability companies, from holding
NOW Accounts. If we determine that you
are not eligible under federal law to own
NOW Accounts, we reserve our right to close
the account or convert it to a non-interest
bearing account without prior notice.
Money Market Accounts
The interest rate and annual percentage
yield earned on your money market account
may vary and will be subject to change
at any time in our sole discretion. Further,
the amount of any rate change will be within
our sole discretion. Interest will not
be paid for any day your collected balance
is under the stated minimum to earn interest.
The monthly maintenance fee will be waived
if you maintain the required minimum balance.
You may make unlimited deposits and withdrawals,
in person, by mail or at an Automated Teller
Machine (“ATM”). Other transactions
permitted or authorized to be made can
be no more than six transfers and withdrawals,
or a combination of such transfers and
withdrawals per calendar month or statement
cycle (or similar period) of at least four
weeks, to another account (including a
transaction account) of yours at the same
bank or to a third party by means of a
pre-authorized or automatic transfer, or
telephonic (including data transmission)
agreement, order or instruction, or by
check, draft, debit card, or similar order
made by you and payable to third parties.
A pre-authorized transfer includes any
arrangement by the bank to pay a third
party from your account upon written or
oral instruction (including an order received
through an automated clearing house (ACH),
or any arrangement by the bank to pay a
third party from your account at a predetermined
time or a fixed schedule. Electronic Fund
Transfers, defined later in this Agreement,
computer terminal transactions and telephone
transactions are considered pre-authorized
transfers. A charge may be assessed for
each transfer or withdrawal that exceeds
these restrictions. Refer to the Fee Schedule,
defined later in this Agreement, for details
on these charges. Federal regulation requires
us to stop paying interest on your account
or to close it if you repeatedly violate
these limitations.
Collected Balance
Because checks and other non-cash items
deposited must be presented for payment
to the bank on which they are drawn, we
cannot give immediate credit for these
deposits. An item is considered collected
when it has been finally paid by the bank
on which it is drawn. Any items, other
than cash, accepted for deposit will be
given provisional credit only until collection
is final.
Stopping Payment on a Check
You and any person who is authorized to
draw checks on your account have the
right to stop payment on any check drawn
on the account that has not been paid
or certified. Our check processing systems
are highly automated and precise; therefore,
we require the following information
in order to process your stop payment
order. We require correct and complete
information which includes the exact
amount of the check, check number, name
of the payee, date of the check and the
full account number. If any of this information
provided by you is not correct and complete,
we will be unable to process your stop
payment order. You agree that we will
not be liable to you for not following
a stop payment order if the information
you give us is not correct or complete.
An oral stop payment order lapses after
fourteen (14) calendar days unless you
confirm it in writing within that time
period. Stop payment orders do not renew
automatically and expire after six (6)
months unless you renew it in writing.
You agree that if you generate a check
by computer or in any other manner that
does not produce magnetic ink character
recognition (MICR) encoded check number
on the check, we can not guarantee that
your stop order will be honored.
You agree that if you request a stop payment
on any check which is subsequently reconverted
to an automated clearing house debit, we
cannot guarantee that your stop order will
be honored.
Postdated and Stale Dated Checks
We reserve the right to pay any postdated
or stale dated item when presented, despite
any notice that you may send to us. You
agree that we will not be liable to you
for paying any postdated or stale dated
check.
Check Legends
We are not required to honor any memos
or legends you write on your check. An
example of a legend or memo would be, “Must
be presented within 90 days” or “Not
valid for more than $50.”.
Order of Payment
We reserve the right to pay, including,
without limitation, checks, automated clearing
house debits, ATM withdrawals, funds transfers,
fees and charges due us or other items
drawn on your account in any order that
we determine, in our sole discretion, even
if paying a particular check or item results
in more fee income to us or an insufficient
available balance in your account to pay
one or more other items that otherwise
could have been paid. Generally, although
not obligated to do so, we pay any of the
items listed above from the highest dollar
amount to the lowest dollar amount.
Returned Deposits
If a check or other negotiable instrument
is for less than one hundred dollars ($100.)
and is returned for non-sufficient funds
by the paying institution, we will redeposit
the check a second time. The only exception
to this policy is where a customer has
given us prior written special instructions
in this event. All other checks or negotiable
instruments returned unpaid are charged
back to the account where they were deposited.
Savings Accounts
A savings account is an interest-bearing
depository account from which collected
funds can be withdrawn by presenting a
properly completed withdrawal form to one
of our tellers or for statement savings
only, through an ATM transaction. The interest
rate and annual percentage yield earned
on your savings account may vary and will
be subject to change at any time at our
sole discretion. Further, the amount of
any rate change will be within our sole
discretion. We use the daily balance method
to calculate the interest of your account.
This method applies a daily periodic rate
to the ledger balance in the account each
day. Interest begins to accrue on the business
day the account is opened. Interest will
be compounded monthly and credited to your
account on a quarterly basis. If your account
is closed prior to your next interest payment
date, you will not receive the accrued
interest for that period. Withdrawals are
payable only to you. We allow withdrawals
from your savings account at any time;
however, we reserve the right to require
seven (7) calendar days prior written notice
before permitting any withdrawals. If we
require a notice of withdrawal from one
savings account, we will require it for
all other savings accounts of that type.
You may make unlimited deposits or withdrawals
in person, by mail or at an ATM. Federal
regulation permits you a maximum of six
(6) pre-authorized or automatic or telephone
transfers or withdrawals (including online
banking transactions, as applicable) per
statement cycle or calendar month for passbook
accounts. Electronic Fund Transfers, defined
later in this Agreement, computer terminal
transactions and telephone transactions
are considered pre-authorized transfers.
A fee may be assessed for withdrawals or
transfers that exceed these restrictions
(refer to the Fee Schedule, defined later
in this Agreement, detailing such fees.)
Federal regulation requires us to stop
paying interest on your account or to close
it if you repeatedly violate these limitations.
If you maintain the required minimum balance,
the maintenance fee may be waived.
ATM transactions
are permitted on statement savings accounts.
The statements are issued,
at a minimum, on a quarterly basis.
Inactive Accounts
Your checking, interest checking, money
market, or savings account will be considered
inactive and subject to an inactivity fee,
if for a specified period of time, you
do not originate any transactions. Please
refer to the Fee Schedule, defined later
in this Agreement, for details on time
periods, balance requirements and applicable
fees.
Escheat Accounts
Defined by state law, the balance in an
account is presumed to be abandoned if
there is no activity for five (5) years,
and if we cannot locate you. We are required
by law to remit the balance in such accounts
to the State of Illinois. The account will
be assessed a service fee prior to remittance
to the State of Illinois. Please refer
to the Fee Schedule, defined later in this
Agreement, for applicable service fees.
Closing an Account
You may close your account with us at any
time. If your account has a zero balance
for two consecutive statement cycles, we
may consider it to be closed.
Pledged Deposit Account
If your deposit
account has been pledged as collateral
to secure a loan with us,
you cannot make any withdrawals from the
deposit account. Additionally, ATM transactions
are not permitted. These limitations will
continue until the loan is paid in full.
Transferability
Your account may not be pledged, assigned,
or used as collateral security for a loan
with any lender other than us, unless we
agree to the transfer in writing. Accounts
are not negotiable or transferable to third
parties without our prior written consent.
Personal Banking Service Fees,
Initial and Minimum Deposit Requirements
and Other Account
Requirements
The various personal banking fees and requirements
for initial deposits, minimum balances,
and other account requirements are shown
in the “fee schedule” or “fee
schedules” (the “fee schedule” and “fee
schedules” are collectively referred
to herein as “Fee Schedule”),
which are separate documents given to you
at the time you opened your account. For

FUNDS AVAILABILITY DISCLOSURE
THE EXPEDITED FUNDS AVAILABILITY ACT AND
REGULATION CC OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD REQUIRE ALL BANKS TO NOTIFY DEPOSITORS
OF THEIR FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICIES.
THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS DELIVERED
TO YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION
CC AND PRESENTS OUR FUNDS AVAILABILITY
POLICIES.
Your Ability to Withdraw Funds at Cole
Taylor
Our policy is to delay the availability
of some funds that you deposit in your
account. During the delay, you may not
withdraw the funds in cash and we will
not use the funds to pay checks that you
have written. The availability of deposited
funds depends on the type of deposit and
where the deposit is made as outlined in
the following sections.
Determining the Availability of a Deposit
For determining the availability of a deposit,
every day is a business day except Saturdays,
Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make
a deposit at any of our office facilities
on a business day that we are open, we
will consider that day to be the day of
deposit. If you make a deposit on Saturday,
Sunday or a federal holiday, we will consider
that the deposit was made on the next business
day we are open. If you make a deposit
at one of our night depositories, we will
consider the deposit was made on the business
day it is removed from the night depository.
Also, if your deposit arrives at Cole Taylor
by armored car, mail, or messenger after
2:00 p.m. Central Time (“CT”)
on any business day that we are open, we
will consider that your deposit was made
on the next business day we are open.
Same Business Day Availability
Funds from the following deposits will
be made available on the business day of
the deposit:
- Cash deposits made in person
to one of our employees.
- Funds from electronic
direct deposits, including pre-authorized
credits, such
as Social Security benefits and payroll
payments, and wire transfers will be
available on the business day we receive
the deposit.
Next Business Day Availability
Funds from the following deposits may
be available on the first business day
after
the business day of your deposits:
- Checks drawn on Cole Taylor.
- U.S.
Treasury checks that are payable to
you.
- Federal Reserve Bank and Federal
Home Loan Bank checks payable to you.
- U.S.
Postal Service Money Orders payable
to you.
- State of Illinois and local
government checks that are payable
to you,
and cashier’s,
certified, and teller’s checks
that are payable to you.
- Other Check
Deposits
However, we may place longer holds
on certain items for other reasons,
such as
large deposits (see Longer Delays May Apply,
below). Longer Delays May Apply
Funds you deposit by check 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 five thousand dollars ($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 a failure
of communication 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 seventh
business day
after the day of your deposit. The
first one hundred dollars ($100)
of your deposits,
however, will be available no later
than the first business day after
the business
day of your deposit.
Deposits at Automated Teller Machines
Funds from any deposits (cash or
checks) made at any ATM we do not
own or operate
may not be available until the fifth
business day after the day of your
deposit. This
rule does not apply at any ATM that
we own or operate. Any ATM that we
own or
operate is clearly marked with Cole
Taylor signage.
Funds from a deposit made at any
of our ATMs are available on the
first
business
day after the date of your deposit.
If you make a deposit at one of our
ATMs
before 2:00 p.m. CT on a business
day that we
are open, we will consider that day
to be the day of your deposit. If
you make
a deposit after 2:00 p.m. CT or on
a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal
holiday, we will consider
that the deposit was made on the
next business day we are open.
Special Rules for New Accounts
If you are a new customer, the
following special rules will apply
during the
first thirty (30) calendar days your
account
is open.
The first five thousand dollars
($5,000) from a deposit of U.S.
Treasury checks
will be available on the first business
day after the day of your deposit.
The excess over five thousand dollars
($5,000)
will be available no later than the
ninth business day after the day
of your deposit.
Funds from wire transfers into your
account will be available on the
first business
day after the day we receive the
transfer. Funds from the deposits
of cash and
the first five thousand dollars ($5,000)
of a day’s total deposits of
cashier’s,
certified, teller’s, traveler’s
and state and local government checks
will 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 deposited in person to one of
our employees,
and
you may have to use a special deposit
slip available at any teller station.
The excess
of such deposits over five thousand
dollars ($5,000) will be available
no later than
the ninth business day after the
day of your deposit. Funds from all
other
check
deposits will generally be available
no later than the ninth business
day after
the day of your deposit.
Holds on Other Funds When Cashing
a Check
If we cash a check for you 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.
Holds on Funds in Other Accounts
If we accept for deposit a check
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 until the
expiration of the time periods
that are described
elsewhere in this disclosure for
the type of check that you deposited.
SUBSTITUTE CHECKS AND YOUR RIGHTS
What
is a substitute check?
To make check processing faster,
federal law permits banks to replace
original checks
with “substitute checks.” These
checks are similar in size to original
checks with a slightly reduced image of
the front and back of the original check.
The front of a substitute check states: “This
is a legal copy of your check. You can
use it the same way you would use the original
check.” You may use a substitute
check as proof of payment just like the
original check.
Some or all of the checks that you receive
back from us may be substitute checks.
This notice describes rights you have when
you receive substitute checks from us.
The rights in this notice do not apply
to original checks or to electronic debits
to your account. However, you have rights
under other law with respect to those transactions.
What are my rights regarding substitute
checks?
In certain cases, federal law provides
a special procedure that allows you to
request a refund for losses you suffer
if a substitute check is posted to your
account (for example, if you think that
we withdrew the wrong amount from your
account or that we withdrew money from
your account more than once for the same
check). The losses you may attempt to recover
under this procedure may include the amount
that was withdrawn from your account and
fees that were charged as a result of the
withdrawal (for example, bounced check
fees).
The amount of your refund under this procedure
is limited to the amount of your loss or
the amount of the substitute check, whichever
is less. You also are entitled to interest
on the amount of your refund if your account
is an interest-bearing account. If your
loss exceeds the amount of the substitute
check, you may be able to recover additional
amounts under other law.
If you use this procedure, you may receive
up to two thousand, five hundred dollars
($2,500) of your refund (plus interest
if your account earns interest) within
ten (10) business days after we received
your claim and the remainder of your refund
(plus interest if your account earns interest)
not later than forty-five (45) calendar
days after we received your claim.
We may reverse the refund (including any
interest on the refund) if we later are
able to demonstrate that the substitute
check was correctly posted to your account.
How do I make a claim for a refund?
If you believe that you have suffered a
loss relating to a substitute check that
you received and that was posted to your
account, please contact our Customer Service
Center at (847) 653-7978 within forty (40)
calendar days of the date that we mailed
(or otherwise delivered by a means to which
you agreed) the substitute check in question
or the account statement showing that the
substitute check was posted to your account,
whichever is later. We will extend this
time period if you were not able to make
a timely claim because of extraordinary
circumstances.
Your claim must include:
- A description of
why you have suffered a loss (for example,
you think the amount
withdrawn was incorrect);
- An estimate of
the amount of your loss;
- An explanation
of why the substitute check
you received is insufficient
to confirm
that you suffered a loss; and
- A copy of
the substitute check and/or
the following information to
help us identify
the substitute check: the check number,
the name of the person to whom you
wrote the check, the amount of
the check.

Your Liability
Tell us AT ONCE if you
believe your Card/code
has been lost
or stolen,
or if you believe
that an Electronic
Fund Transfer has been made
without your
permission using
information
from your check. Telephoning
is the best way of
keeping
your possible
losses
down.
You could lose all
the money in your account
(plus your
maximum overdraft
line of credit,
if applicable). If
you tell us within two (2)
business
days
after
you learn
of the
loss or theft of your
Card/code, you can
lose no more than
fifty dollars
($50.) if someone used
your Card/code without
your permission.
If
you do NOT tell us
within two (2) business
days after
you learn
of the
loss or theft
of your Card/PIN
and we can prove we could
have
stopped
someone
from using
your Card/PIN
without your permission
if you had told us,
you
could
lose as
much as
five hundred
dollars ($500.).
Also,
if your statement shows transfers
that
you did not
make, including
those made by Card/PIN
or other means,
tell us at once. If you
do not tell us
within sixty
(60) calendar days
after the statement
was mailed
or made
available to
you by any other
method you have
requested, you may not get back
any
money you lost
after
the sixty (60)
calendar
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 may,
but are
not obligated
to, extend the
time periods.

you think is in error.

error, we will send you a written
explanation
within

business
days
after we finish
our investigation. You
may ask for copies of the documents
we used in our investigation.
