(a) INTRODUCTION. 
This Electronic Banking Disclosure applies to Electronic Funds Transactions (EFTs) and Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com involving the accounts of a "consumer" (a natural person). If you are not a consumer, for example, if you are a corporation, a limited liability company or a partnership, then neither this disclosure nor the terms contained therein apply to you.

Electronic Funds Transactions (EFTs) cover a growing range of methods for moving funds. The common link between all these methods is that they are all means of moving money between accounts and banks electronically, rather than using the physical movement of checks, drafts, negotiable orders of withdrawal or other similar paper instruments. EFT is currently defined as any transfer of funds that is started through an electronic terminal or magnetic tape for the purpose of ordering, instructing or authorizing us to debit or credit your account. The term includes, but is not limited to, Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com. Transferring funds through Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com will supplement the use of checks, credit and cash, but will not replace these present methods of doing business. As a consumer, you should be aware of your rights if you choose to utilize Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com. We have made every effort to provide you this information in a clear and concise manner.

(d) QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER(s) AND/OR ERROR RESOLUTION. Contact the e-Banking Department promptly if you have a question or problem with an EFT (see telephone in Section 15(a). Examples of possible problems are: You think your statement is wrong; you need more information about a transaction listed on your statement; or you need more information about a transfer.

We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. You need to provide us with the following information:

Your name, address, daytime telephone number and account number.
Description of the suspected error or problem with a clear explanation about why you believe is it an error, problem or why you need more information.
The dollar amount of the suspected error or problem.

If you notify the Bank orally or in person, we require you to send us the foregoing information in writing within ten (10) calendar days after that oral or in person notification. Failure to provide that writing may result in your not receiving provisional credit during the investigation period.

The Bank will inform you of the status of its investigation within ten (10) calendar days following the date you notified the Bank. The Bank will correct any error as promptly as possible; however, it may take up to forty-five (45) calendar days to complete the investigation. If more than ten (10) calendar days is needed to investigate, the Bank will provide you with provisional credit so you may have use of the money.

The Bank will correct any error within one business day after determining that an error occurred. If the Bank decides that there was no error, the Bank will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after the completion of its investigation. Upon request, the Bank will make the documentation used in its investigation available for your inspection or provide you with copies, for a reasonable fee to cover duplication costs.

The Bank's record of your account will be binding if there is a difference between the Bank's record and your assertion.

(e) STOP PAYMENTS. If you have arranged for pre-authorized transfers or issued a check to a third party from your account, you can stop any of these payments by contacting the e-Banking Department in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is negotiated. We will send you a confirmation receipt within seven (7) calendar days of your initial request.

It is understood that a Stop Payment Order is not effective until an actual signed order is delivered to Citizens Bank & Trust Company (by mail or in person), P. O. Box 469, Van Buren, AR 72957, within fourteen (14) days of an oral notification, and it remains effective for only six (6) months thereafter. We will charge you a fee for each stop payment order. Please refer to our Service Fees Brochure for current fees.

The initiation by you of certain EFTs from your account will, except as otherwise provided in this agreement, effectively eliminate your ability to stop payment of the transfer. Unless otherwise provided in this agreement, you may not stop payment of EFTs; therefore, you should not employ electronic access for purchases and services unless you are satisfied that you will not need to stop payment.

(f) YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZE TRANSFERS AND ADVISABILITY OF PROMPT REPORTING. Inform the Bank AT ONCE if you believe there is any or the potential for any fraud regarding your account. Telephoning is the best way to keep possible losses down. Contact the Bank immediately if you believe that:

Your means of identification (as further described in Section 7) is lost or stolen.

Your PIN and ID are known to someone other than yourself.

You believe someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission.

Your statement shows transfers that you did not make.

You could lose all the money in your associated accounts plus the maximum amount of any overdraft line of credit. To the extent a transaction is an electronic funds transfer, if you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft or unauthorized transaction, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your password or made a transaction without your
authorization. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft or unauthorized transaction, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Password or the Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com without your authorization if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. Also, if your statement shows a transaction that you did not make or authorize, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed, electronically transmitted or otherwise made available 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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we may extend the time periods as may be reasonable under the circumstances.

(g) THE BANK'S LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSFERS. If the Bank does not complete an electronic funds transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to this agreement with you, the Bank will be liable for proven losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. The Bank will NOT be liable, for instance:

If, through no fault of the Bank, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer;

If the funds in your account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting such EFT;

If the transfer would go over your credit limit;

If the Bank's internal computer system was not working properly and you knew abut the breakdown when you started the transfer or, in the case of a pre-authorized transfer, at the time such transfer would have occurred;

If the system failure was not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error, notwithstanding the maintenance of procedure reasonably adapted to avoid any such error;

If circumstances beyond the Bank's control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or

If the delay causes you no losses or damages which you can prove in court.

The Bank will be liable if you request us in writing to stop payment to a particular EFT at least three (3) business days before the scheduled debit and we do not stop payment, or if our failure to transfer out was due to our failure to credit a deposit which would have provided sufficient funds for the transfer out.

(h) TERMINATION. You may terminate any agreement authorizing transfers to or from your account by written notice to both the person or company initiating the transfer and the Bank. Only transfers scheduled to occur after the Bank receives your notification are affected. Your written notice must be received with enough time so that both the Bank and the other person or company have a reasonable opportunity to act on your request.

(i) CHARGES FOR TRANSFERS OR RIGHTS TO MAKE TRANSFER. As indicated in Section 4, there are currently no monthly service charges of transaction fees for the Retail Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com. There are other fees associated with your account or accounts, such as stop payment fees, insufficient funds fees, uncollected funds fees and ATM transaction fees. Please refer to our current Service Fee Brochure.

(j) PROHIBITION OF COMPULSORY USE. No person may

Require you to use a pre-authorized electronic funds transfer as a condition for the extension of credit;

Require you either to accept a transfer service or to establish an account which is accessed electronically as conditions of employment or receipt of governmental benefit; or

Require you to pay electronically for the purchase of goods or services.

(k) WAIVER OF RIGHTS. No letter or agreement signed by you can negate the rights conferred to you by law unless you decide to waive these rights in settlement of a dispute or action.

(l) PROHIBITED MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION. Your Social Security Number cannot be used as a primary identification number, although it can be used as a secondary means of identification.

(m) RIGHT TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF THIS DISCLOSURE AND/OR AGREEMENT. We may amend this disclosure and/or agreement at any time. If we change any term(s) or condition(s), which would result in a greater cost or liability to you or decrease access to your account, we will notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance. We will mail a written notice covering the substance of the amendments to your address on record. The amendment will be in effect for transactions after its effective date, unless you notify us in writing before that date that you will not use Online Banking@cbankandtrust.com. Otherwise, you will agree to the amendment.

We may implement a change in the terms or conditions of an account without prior notice if it is necessary to maintain or restore the security of an EFT system or a consumer's account.

*The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on the quoted above is based upon interest added back to the account balance on a monthly basis (with the exception of IRA's and $1,000.00 CD's, interest is paid at maturity.) The APY assumes that the initial deposit and interest will remain on deposit for one (1) year. Withdrawal of interest earned will reduce the APYs. Substantial penalty for early withdrawal. Interest Rates are subject to change without notice. Variable Rate CD's may change after the account is opened. On Checking and Savings Accounts, Service Charge fees could reduce the earnings.
