As the primary user, you are considered the administrator who is responsible for managing your Express Online Banking service. As administrator you will be granted access to all of the enrolled online banking accounts and services. The administrator, at his or her sole discretion, can create and authorize other individuals to act as a user of Express Online Banking by completing an Entitlement Request form. The administrator can add, delete or change the access authorities for a user including the accounts and services they are allowed to access and the dollar amount of the transactions they are allowed to process. Designating an authorized user provides access to Express Online Banking and does not change ownership or provide authorization to these users to transact on your behalf in any other manner (i.e. at a branch location).

It is critically important to keep your user IDs and passwords confidential to prevent unauthorized transactions on your bank accounts.

  2. The electronic funds transfers initiated through Express Online Banking may result in an overdraft of your account and may, at Fulton Savings Bank’s discretion, be canceled.

In addition, you will be charged the same overdraft charges that apply to your account.

Transfer of funds is permitted between FSB checking accounts and statement type of saving accounts and to make loan payments.Transfers made after 8:00 pm on a weekend or federal holiday are posted on the next business day and are available for immediate use. However, sufficient funds must be available at the time of your request.If you wish to cancel a recurring transfer, you must cancel the transfer before 12:00 midnight the night before the scheduled initiation date that the transfer occurs. For example, a cancellation may occur at 11:59pm on January 1 if the payment is scheduled for January 2.If you schedule an immediate account-to-account or person-to-person transfer, you must have adequate available funds in your account at the time the transfer is initiated. The funds will be deducted from your account immediately.If you schedule a future-dated or recurring account-to-account transfer or person-to-person transfer you must have adequate available funds in your account when we attempt to transfer the funds.

You are permitted to transfer between the following types of accounts:

  • Checking account to another FSB customer’s statement or passbook savings account
  • Statement savings to another FSB customer’s checking account
  • Statement savings account to another FSB customer’s statement or passbook savings account

Any documentation provided to you that indicates that a person-to-person transfer was made, shall be admissible as evidence of such transfer and will effectively constitute prima facie proof that the transfer was made.

This service allows for transfers "from" your checking or statement savings accounts held at Fulton Savings Bank "to" another financial institution. Also, you may set up an External account at another financial institution to make a payment on your Fulton Savings Bank Loan account. Bank-to-bank transfers are accomplished by ACH debit and credits. Accounts maintained at the other financial institution must be either a checking or a savings account and must be in your name. You may set up a bank-to-bank transfer under the ‘Transfer Funds – Add External Bank to Bank Transfer’ screen. You must enter the other financial institution’s routing number and your checking or savings account number. In most cases, you may find this information at the bottom of a check or deposit slip. Within a few days, your account at the other financial institution will receive two small deposits which must be verified by you before the transfer service can be initiated.

When you originate External Transfers, you authorize Fulton Savings Bank and our service provider to initiate debit and credit entries, upon your instructions, to/from your Fulton Savings Bank account and your account at the financial institution(s) outside of Fulton Savings Bank that you designate, using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or other payment transfer method. You agree and warrant to us that you will only originate External Transfers to or from accounts for which you have the authority to transfer funds, and that by disclosing information to us regarding those accounts to affect your transfers, you are not violating any third-party rights. Not all types of accounts may be eligible for External Transfers, so you should check with the financial institution for any restrictions on transfers.

To ensure your security, before you add an outside account for External Transfers, originate a new External Transfer, edit an existing periodic External Transfer or change your phone number through Express Online Banking, you will be required to authenticate who you are. When you add an external account for External Transfers, please contact the Express Online Banking Department at 315-592-3159 in order to verify your information and that you are legitimately making the request.  You will be asked to verify a microdeposit which will be system generated before you can transfer funds to/from the external account. If any transaction fails or is rejected, for security purposes we may decline your External Transfer request(s) and any or all other transactions, and we may close your account, with or without notice to you.

External Transfers may be originated on a single entry or recurring basis. One-time transfers may be scheduled immediately or scheduled for a future date. To ensure same day processing, you must schedule your External Transfer by 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A recurring transfer allows you to transfer a set amount at regular intervals. Your authorization for any recurring External Transfers will remain in full force and effect until you revoke it in such timely manner as to afford Fulton Savings Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on your direction.

One-time External Transfers cannot be scheduled to occur on a non-business day. Recurring External Transfers scheduled to occur on a non-business day will be processed on the next business day.

For the purpose of External Transfers, your account is considered a New Account for the first 30 days it is open, whether you are a new or existing customer of Fulton Savings Bank and we reserve the right to not allow you to add any external account(s) or originate any external transfers within the first 30 days.

When you initiate an External Transfer from your account outside of Fulton Savings Bank to your Fulton Savings Bank Loan account, you are initiating an ACH debit transfer “from” your external account at another Financial Institution and a corresponding credit to your Fulton Savings Bank Loan account.

Transfer of funds between your accounts at another financial institution will generally be received no more than two (2) business days following the scheduled processing date.

For one-time bank-to-bank transfers, you must initiate the transfer before 3:00 pm for same day processing. One-time bank-to-bank transfers scheduled after 3:00 pm or on a weekend will be initiated the next business day. Only available funds may be transferred. Funds from bank-to-bank transfers will be available for your use as soon as we receive the funds.

We reserve the right to change your External Transfer dollar limit at any time. If we decrease the dollar limit, we will notify you as required by law, but we may not notify you if we are restricting your transfer limits for security purposes or because of excessive overdrafts to your Fulton Savings Bank account.

For security reasons, the Bank has established limits on the amount of funds that can be transferred via External Transfers.

The following transaction limits will apply:

Type Max Amount Max Daily Limit Max 30 Day Limit
Account-to-Account Transfers $15,000 or the available balance in your account, whichever is less $100,000 N/A
Person-to-Person Transfers $10,000 or the available balance in your account, whichever is less $100,000 N/A
Bank-to-Bank Outgoing Transfers $10,000 or the available balance in your account, whichever is less $10,000 outgoing $50,000 outgoing

Your stop payment requests must follow the procedures and specifications established by the Bank. You must provide us with timely, complete and accurate information on the following:

  • The number of the account against which the item is drawn
  • The check number
  • The exact amount (dollars and cents) of the item
  • The name of the payee
  • The reason for the stop payment

Complete accuracy is essential since stop payment orders are processed by computers operating on the basis of precise data. If any of the required information is incomplete or incorrect your stop payment order may not be processed and we will not be responsible for failing to complete the order. However, if all terms and conditions have been satisfied and we fail to process a stop payment order of a preauthorized transfer from your account, we may be liable.

Stop payment requests, which cover a range of checks that are missing or stolen, may be processed by us without regard to the dollar amount. A stop payment order becomes effective when we confirm its receipt and have verified that the item has not been paid. We will not be able to verify this immediately for items paid more than 180 days prior to your request. Stop payment orders are in effect for six (6) months and can be renewed after the six (6) month period upon your written request. Failure to renew the stop payment order may result in the item being paid. Periodically, our systems may be inoperable. If that occurs, you may transmit stop payment orders by telephone instruction. You are advised that under applicable state law, stopping payment on a check may not relieve you of your obligation to pay the check.

This service is designed to provide real time notification of important information related to you FSB account(s) such as a low balance or the occurrence of an overdraft. If you subscribe to our alert service you will be asked to select either email or text messaging (SMS) as a method of delivery. You are responsible for any telephone or data charges incurred in connecting to your ISP that gives you access to this alert service including SMS services.We do our best to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information, but alerts may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors beyond our control such as system failures or misdirected delivery. We don’t guarantee the delivery or accuracy of alerts and the contents of an alert may be outdated by the time the alert is sent or received resulting from other account activity or delays in sending data among various systems. You agree to keep your alert contact methods up to date and accurate and further agree that we are not liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert, for any errors in the content of an alert or for any actions taken or not taken by you or a third party as the result of an alert.

Fulton Savings Bank reserves the right to terminate any request for any alert at any time.You understand and accept that alerts are not encrypted and while we will never include your password or full account number in the alert, we may include limited information about your account and anyone with access to your alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.

If you have chosen this option, you may make payments from a checking account(s) that you have designated for bill payment. Your payments will be made either electronically to the person or business you are paying (“payee”) or by sending the payee a paper check.The Bill Payment system will show a “Send On” date and a “Deliver By” date of the payment when you select the calendar. It is advised that you schedule payments in advance to ensure that the “Deliver By” date is on or before the payment due date. While most payees can be paid by using the bill payment feature, we reserve the right to refuse to pay certain payees. You agree that payment transactions executed through an automated clearinghouse will be subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearinghouse Association (NACHA).

When scheduling a bill payment, note the difference between the “Send On” date and the “Deliver By” date; the “Send On” date is the date we will attempt to deduct the payment amount from your designated account. If the attempted deduction fails because you did not have enough funds in your primary account, we will send you an email indicating this situation. If the second attempted deduction is not successful, the transaction will be cancelled and you will be responsible for rescheduling. If the second attempted deduction is successful, the payment will be processed and remitted to the payee, however the “Deliver By” date will be one business day later. If you receive an email because the first attempted deduction was not successful, you should access Express Online Banking to determine the date of the second deduction attempt.If you schedule a payment with the “Send On” date as the current date, you must have adequate available funds in your account at the time the payment is scheduled.

This can occur anytime between 12:01 am and 3:00 pm EST of the “Send On” date.The “Deliver By” date is the date that you can expect the payee to receive your payment. The “Deliver By” date for your payment should be no later than the due date the payee has indicated for the payment.

You may cancel an outstanding bill payment at any time through Express Online Banking. “Future” and “Recurring” bill payments may be cancelled or changed up until 12:00 midnight of the night before the “Send On” date of the transaction.

The service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the following guidelines:

If a properly scheduled payment is not received and posted on time by the payee, we will attempt to have any late fees or assessed finance charges removed. Note that finance charges are calculated based on your payment amount rather than your entire balance. If the payee is unwilling or unable to remove the charges incurred, we will pay the fees and finance charges directly to the payee. In addition, we will attempt to have your account noted appropriately to ensure that the situation does not negatively impact your credit rating.
