Bill Pay Service Definitions
“Bill Pay Service” means the bill payment service offered by Primis through Fiserv and/or other service provider (together, “Provider”).
“Biller” is the person or entity to which you wish a bill payment to be made or from which you receive electronic bills. “Payment Instruction” is the information you provide to our Bill Pay Service for a bill payment to be made to the Biller (such as, but not limited to, Biller name, Biller account number, and Scheduled Payment Date).
“Payment Account” is the checking or money market account from which bill payments and any related fees will be debited.
“Business Day” is every Monday through Friday, except Federal Reserve holidays.
“Scheduled Payment Date” is the day you want your Biller to receive your bill payment and is also the day your payment will be debited from your Payment Account. If Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day, Primis will process your Bill Payment on the previous Business Day.
“Due Date” is the date reflected on your Biller statement on which the payment is due. It is not the late date or grace period.
“Scheduled Payment” is a payment that has been scheduled through the Bill Pay Service but has not begun processing.
Bill Payment Scheduling. When you schedule a bill payment, the Bill Payment system will indicate the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date). You will not be permitted to select a Scheduled Payment Date prior to the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. You should select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you should select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one Business Day before the actual Due Date. To avoid late charges and other penalties from your Biller, your Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.
Expedited Payments. Certain Billers offer an Expedited Payment option that allows you to have your payment processed immediately for an additional fee. There are two Expedited Payment options available. A Same Day Bill Pay (sent as an electronic payment to participating Billers) will be processed and posted the same day. An Overnight Check payment (sent as a paper draft payment to any Biller who accepts paper payments) will be sent via overnight delivery to the Biller for receipt by the end of the next business day. Please note, although the payment will arrive earlier than the typical four (4) Business Days, it is at the Biller’s discretion how quickly the payment is processed and posted. The Bill Pay Service will automatically determine which Expedited Payment option is available to you to make payments to a specific Biller, and it will automatically determine the date by which your Expedited Payment will be processed (“Scheduled Payment Date”).
The Expedited Payment option may not always be available. Depending on the time of day, you might not have sufficient lead-time to make an Expedited Payment. If the Expedited Payment option is not available for an intended Biller, it will not be displayed on your Bill Payment screen. The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date, without a fee, will be designated. Once you submit an Expedited Payment, it will begin processing immediately and you will not be able to change or cancel it (see Payment Cancellation Requests and Stop Payments Requests sections for additional information).
You authorize us to charge a fee for each Expedited Payment as a separate transaction. The amount of each Expedited Payment and each fee will be deducted from your account as separate transactions, which may result in you incurring an overdraft charge for the Expedited Payment and/or the fee if you do not have sufficient funds to process either the Expedited Payment or the fee.
Payment Authorization and Remittance. By providing the Bill Pay Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Bill Pay Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Bill Pay Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
When the Bill Pay Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Provider to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. The Provider will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Provider shall incur no liability if the Provider is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because
- If, through no fault of the Provider, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient Funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The payment processing center is not working properly and we have notified you about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- You have not provided the Provider with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond the control of the Provider (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Provider causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Provider shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges. However, the Provider will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 per payment, should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under “Bill Payment Scheduling” in this Agreement.
Payment Methods. The Provider reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a check (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted from your Payment Account when the check is presented to Primis for payment). Payment Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the Bill Payment Service. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Bill Pay Service has begun processing a payment, it cannot be cancelled or edited; therefore, a formal stop payment request must be submitted.
Bill Payment Stop Payment Requests. The Provider’s ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Provider may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact the Primis Customer Service. Although the Provider will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Provider will have no liability for failing to do so. The Provider may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
Prohibited Payments. Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Bill Pay Service.
Exception Payments. We do not recommend that you schedule tax payments and court ordered payments through the Bill Pay Service. We will not be liable for any claims or damages resulting from you scheduling of these types of payments and any Bill Payment Guarantee is void. All research and resolution for any misapplied, misposted or misdirected exception payments will be your sole responsibility.
Electronic Bill Delivery. Certain Billers offer an electronic bill presentment feature (e-Bill) which allows the Biller to present the bill directly to the Bill Payment Service. If you elect to activate one or more of the Bill Pay Service’s electronic bill options, you agree to the following:
- You will provide any changed information directly to the Biller including name, address and other information required by the Biller and will maintain all usernames and passwords for all e-Bill sites.
- When you activate the e-Bill feature for a Biller, you authorize us to obtain bill data from the Biller on your behalf. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your billing information.
- The date of presentment of your first e-Bill will vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. While your e-Bill is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.
The Provider will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Bill Pay Service within Online Banking, the Bill Pay Service may send an email notification to the email address listed for your account. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the Bill Pay Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller.
You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
It may take up to sixty (60) days to terminate the e-Bill service. The Provider will notify your e- Biller of the termination of the e-Bill service but it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for another form of bill delivery. The Provider will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.
You agree that Primis and the Provider will not be liable or responsible
- If the Biller fails to deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
- For the accuracy of your e-Bills. The Provider is only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller.
- For any discrepancies, in accuracies or disputes regarding your e-Bill. These issues must be addressed with the Biller directly.
Failed or Returned Transactions. If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction will not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Provider and you agree to reimburse the Provider immediately upon demand the transaction amount that has been returned to the Provider in addition to late charges, fees and costs of collection.
Service Fees and Additional Charges. You agree to pay charges imposed for the Bill Pay Service that may be listed in the Fee Schedule; you authorize the Provider to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Billing Account, along with any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Other financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts and other Primis services will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and/or Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone service provider.
Amendments to your Bill Pay Service Agreement. This Agreement and the applicable fees and service charges may be altered or amended by Primis or the Provider from time to time with prior notice to you. Any use of the Bill Pay Service after the Provider provides you a notice of change will constitute your agreement to such change(s). Further, the Provider may, from time to time, revise or update the applications, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, the Provider reserves the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services, and/or related material and limit access to only the Provider’s more recent revisions and updates.
Biller Limitation. The Provider reserves the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment. The Provider will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment or an exception payment under this Agreement. Returned Payments. In using the Bill Pay Service, you understand that Billers and/or the U.S. Postal Service may return payments to the Provider for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller’s forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full. The Provider will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account.
EXTERNAL TRANSFER SERVICES
Primis offers two types of external transfer services Zelle© and External Transfer Service – to allow you to transfer funds between your personal Primis checking or money market accounts and certain accounts that are owned by you or someone else at another U.S. financial institution located in the United States and U.S. territories.
Zelle
Zelle Transfers to Other Accounts or Parties
- You must provide all the information about the recipient and his/her bank account that is necessary to complete an ACH Network transfer (the “Complete Transfer”); or
- You must provide contact information about the recipient (including an email address); y the Zelle service will contact the recipient and request the recipient to (i) confirm his/her identity at the Zelle Website and then (ii) provide bank account information in order to complete your transfer request (a “Two- Step Transfer”).
Receiving Zelle Transfers. When you are the intended recipient of a Zelle transfer into a Primis account, you authorize Primis to deposit funds into your account, either as a single transfer or for all transfers directed to you through the Zelle service. There may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending transfer and the deposit of the funds into your account. You authorize the sender, the financial institution that holds the sender’s account and the Zelle Website to send emails and SMS text messages to you in connection with the sender’s request to transfer funds to you. For a two-step transfer, you must provide the requested information within a certain period of time or the requested transfer will be cancelled and the funds returned to the sender. In the event that funds are transferred into your Primis account as a result of a Zelle transfer and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the sender or there were not sufficient funds in the sender’s account or for any other reason, then you authorize Primis to withdraw from your Primis account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you.
Zelle Cancellation or Stop Payment Requests. You may edit or cancel a Zelle payment any time before the payment is processed and before your account is debited. If your account has been debited and the recipient’s account has not been credited, you can request a Stop Payment. To edit, cancel or place a Stop Payment on a scheduled Zelle transaction (including future-dated or recurring payments), follow the directions within the Zelle application. The edit, cancel, or Stop Payment options will only appear when that function is available. There is no charge for editing or canceling a scheduled Zelle transaction; there is a fee for placing a Stop Payment. Stop payment fees are listed on your Primis Deposit Account Fee Schedule.
Zelle Dollar Limits and Transaction Deadlines. Zelle dollar limits and transaction deadlines are set by the Provider and posted on the Zelle service page on Primis’ s Online Banking website. If the limits are insufficient for your purpose, you are not required to complete the transaction. You must always have sufficient funds in your selected deposit account to transfer funds to a third party or to your account at another financial institution. For security purposes, when you reach your “Outstanding Limit” as set by Zelle, you will not be able to schedule additional transfers until the “In Process” transfer(s) show a “Complete” status.
Delivery of transactions may be delayed if you fail to complete the transaction within the time frames stated on the Zelle website. Transactions after the daily cut-off times will be processed on the next business day.
Text Messages, Calls and/or Emails to You. By providing us with a telephone number (including a mobile telephone) and/or email address in connection with the Zelle service, you consent to receiving calls and/or text messages from us at that number and/or emails from us for our everyday business purposes (including identity verification) and for other non- marketing purposes.
Mobile Devices. Senders and Receivers may from time to time receive SMS/text messages or otherwise use their mobile or wireless devices in connection with Zelle transactions. Any usage of your mobile phone or wireless device in connection with the Zelle service is subject to the terms and conditions of the service agreement between you and your telecommunications provider. This Agreement does not amend, replace, or supersede the service agreement between you and your telecommunications provider. Your telecommunications provider may assess data and messaging charges, and you are solely responsible for any such charges. We are not responsible for providing your telecommunications services, and you agree to resolve any problems with such services directly with your telecommunications provider without involving us.
External Funds Transfer Service
The External Transfer Service allows you to transfer funds inbound from an account owned by you at another U.S. financial institution or transfer funds outbound to an account owned by you at another U.S. financial institution. This service may be performed using your Primis personal checking or money market account. Business accounts are not eligible. Other financial institutions may have restrictions regarding transfers into and out of various account types. Primis is not responsible for any costs or losses arising out of transfers that are not permitted by another financial institution. Please refer to your other financial institution’s terms and conditions related to incoming and outgoing transfers.
Types of Transfer Request. You may set up External Transfers services as a one-time transfer for immediate processing; a one-time transfer for immediate processing at a later date; or recurring series of transfers which may be scheduled for specific dates.
Authentication Process. The first time you make an external transfer using the upgraded External Transfer service, you will be asked by our Service Provider to authenticate your external request through one of two methods. You will need the account number and the transit number of the external bank to register for the External Service. Your use of the authentication process shall indicate your agreement to these terms and conditions of the External Transfer Service.
- The Service Provider will make three small dollar transfers (2 credits and 1 debit) to ensure that the information provided by you is accurate. When you verify the transactions, you will be enrolled in the External Transfer Service.
- In certain cases, you may provide actual external login information such as name and account number at an external financial institution. If our Servicer cannot verify the information, you may use the authentication process above.
- Recurring Transfers. If you have scheduled regular recurring external transfers from your account, you must enter a new schedule for payments after you have registered for the upgraded service. If you fail to reschedule, your external transfers may not occur.
Cut-off time. The cut-off times for your transfers have changed.
- For next day transfers, you may submit your request up to 8.p.m. on the business day of the transfer for example, if you wish the transfer to arrive on Friday, you may make the request up to 8 p.m. on Thursday. There may be a charge for next day transfers.
- For three-day transfers, you must request the transfer by 1 a.m. Eastern time each business day. For example, if you make a request by 1 a.m. on Tuesday, your funds would arrive on Friday.
Transfer Limits. Transfer limits will be established by the Service Provider and will be disclosed on your transfer screen. These may be subject to change based on controls embedded in the Service. If the transfer limits do not meet your requirements, you may wish to select another method to transfer funds.
You agree to have sufficient available funds in the designated account to cover all outbound transactions on the scheduled date. If the deposit account does not have sufficient available funds on the scheduled date, we may elect not to initiate your transfer request.
We or our Service Provider shall incur no liability if the Provider is unable to complete any External Transfer or request initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
-
- If through no fault of the Provider, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The external transfer service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Provider about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- Circumstances beyond control of the Provider (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Provider has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
- The external financial institution will not permit the transfer to occur.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Provider causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Payment Account which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Provider shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing the proper funds to the correct Payment Account.
External Transfers Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any scheduled external transfer (including recurring funds transfers) by calling Primis’ s Customer Care Center at 833-477-4647. There is no charge for canceling a scheduled external transfer. Once Primis has begun processing a funds transfer, it cannot be cancelled or edited.

22. Failed or Returned Transfer Instructions. In using the Account to Account Transfer Service, you are requesting that we or our Service Provider attempt to make transfers for you from your Eligible Transaction Account. If the Transfer Instruction cannot be completed for any reason associated with your Eligible Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the Transfer Instruction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the transfer), the Transfer Instruction may or may not be completed. In certain circumstances, our Service Provider may either advance funds drawn on their corporate account or via an electronic debit, and in such circumstances will attempt to debit the Eligible Transaction Account a second time to complete the Transfer Instruction. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us or our Service Provider. In each such case, you agree that:
-
- You will reimburse our Service Provider immediately upon demand the amount of the Transfer Instruction if the transfer has been delivered but there are insufficient funds in, or insufficient overdraft credits associated with, your Eligible Transaction Account to allow the debit processing to be completed;
- You may be assessed a late fee equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) of any unpaid amounts plus costs of collection by our Service Provider or their third-party contractor if the Transfer Instruction cannot be debited because you have insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the transaction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the transfer, or if the funds cannot otherwise be collected from you. The aforesaid amounts will be charged in addition to any NSF charges that may be assessed by us, as set forth in your fee schedule from us (including as disclosed on the Site) or your account agreement with us. You hereby authorize us and our Service Provider to deduct all of these amounts from your designated Eligible Transaction Account, including by ACH debit;

MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICE
Primis’s Mobile Deposit service allows you to deposit certain items into your deposit account(s) using your mobile device. Your use of the mobile deposit service constitutes your acceptance of the mobile deposit terms and any changes we may make to these terms.
Fees There is currently no fee to use the mobile deposit service.
Hardware and Software. To use the mobile deposit service you must have a supported mobile device with a supported camera, a data plan, and download the Primis Mobile App. We do not guarantee that your particular mobile device, camera, operating system, or carrier will be compatible with the service. We assume no responsibility should you experience technical, network, or other difficulties while using the mobile deposit service or any damages as a result of these difficulties.
Eligible Items. You agree to transmit only deposit items (checks) as defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg CC”) and only those checks that are permitted by the mobile deposit service.
You may use the mobile deposit service to deposit checks payable directly to you. Checks payable to third parties, altered items, fraudulent or unauthorized items, substitute checks, converted checks, remotely created checks, postdated checks (dated more than 6 months before the deposit), and checks not payable in U.S. currency are not permitted.
In addition to the checks or items listed above, the following specific items are not eligible for the mobile deposit service:
-
- Foreign checks
- U.S. Savings bonds
- Treasury Tax & Loan (TTL) payments
- Travelers checks
- Money orders
- Any attempted deposit made outside of the United States
Nothing in this mobile deposit agreement should be construed to require Primis to accept any check or item for deposit, even if Primis has previously accepted that type of check.
Image Quality. The image of a check transmitted to Primis using the mobile deposit service must be legible. The image quality must comply with standards set by Primis. You agree that we shall not be liable for any damages resulting from a check’s poor image quality, including those related to rejection of or the delayed or improper crediting of such a check or item, or from any inaccurate information you supply regarding the check or item.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the mobile deposit service as Primis may establish from time to time.
Receipt and Crediting of Items. We may reject any check transmitted through the mobile deposit service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for checks we do not receive in accordance with this agreement or for images that are dropped or damaged during transmission. An image of a check or item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from Primis that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, able to be processed or complete or that funds will be credited for that check or item.
Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Mobile Deposit Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Funds deposited using the Services will generally be made available in three business days from the day of deposit. Primis may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as Primis, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
Disposal of Deposited Checks. After transmitting the mobile deposit, you agree to write
”submitted for mobile deposit‟ and today’s date on the front of the check. Ten (10) days after successfully transmitting a mobile deposit, you agree to destroy or otherwise void the check. You agree never to re-present to us or any other party a check or item that has been deposited through the mobile deposit service unless we notify you that the check or item will not be accepted for deposit through the mobile deposit service.
Deposit Limits. We reserve the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of deposits (over a period of time set by us) that you transmit using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time.

Privacy and User Information
Your Account information is confidential. You acknowledge that in connection with your use of the Service, including text messages from the Alerts Service, the Bank and its affiliates and service providers may receive and may share with one another names, domain names, addresses, passwords, telephone and device numbers, the content of messages, data files and other data and information provided by you or from other sources in connection with the Service, including the Alerts Service (collectively “User Information”). The Bank and its affiliates and service providers will maintain reasonable safeguards to protect the information from unauthorized disclosure or use, but reserve the right to use and disclose this information as reasonably necessary to deliver the Service, including the Alerts Service, to verify the existence or status of your Account to a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant, to activate additional services, or to provide to a consumer reporting agency for purposes of anonymous research only. Information may also be disclosed as otherwise permitted or required by law, including compliance with court orders or lawful instructions from government agencies, to protect the personal safety of subscribers or the public, to defend claims, and as otherwise authorized by you. The Bank and its affiliates and service providers also reserve the right to monitor use of the Services, including the Alerts Service, for purposes of verifying compliance with the law, these terms and conditions, and any applicable software license, but we disclaim any obligation to monitor, filter, or edit any content. You agree that, in using the Service, including the Alerts Service, information and transfers will be recorded and/or data captured, and you consent to such recording.
Password and Security Procedures
Upon becoming a Service Customer, you will receive a temporary password or self- select a password, which will allow you access to your Account information. Use of the password will indicate to Primis your acceptance of the terms and conditions governing your Account(s) and this Agreement and if applicable, the Bill Pay Service terms and conditions. Any Service transactions, including, but not limited to accessing Account information, making transfers, giving transfer-related instructions, utilizing the electronic bill payment service, or accessing electronic account statements initiated by person(s) on behalf of a an Online Banking Customer including but not limited to a Commercial Customer, by entering the correct password is deemed as acting with full authority of the owner of the account and, for commercial customers, the Board of Directors, members or general partners, as applicable. Each time you access the online or mobile banking systems you will be required to enter your password. If your password is lost or stolen, or is known by another individual, you must notify Primis immediately. Failure to notify Primis promptly could result in loss of funds. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and any breach of confidentiality shall promptly be reported to Primis. You may contact Primis at 833-477-4647 to report such security breach. Primis reserves the right to prevent your access to Service should we have reason to believe the confidentiality of your password has been compromised.
You understand that Primis has implemented a security procedure for the purpose of verifying the authenticity of the payment instructions transmitted to Primis by you (“instructions”), and not for the purpose of detecting errors in such instructions. Such security procedure includes (i) a unique file identification number and transmission password, and (ii) encryption. You agree that this procedure constitutes a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized instructions. You agree to be bound by any instruction issued by you and received and verified by Primis in accordance with such security procedure, and you shall indemnify and hold Primis harmless from and against any loss suffered or liability incurred by, or arising from, the execution of instructions in good faith and in compliance with such security procedure.
In an effort to provide the highest degree of confidentiality and security, Primis recommends the use of browsers that provide encryption using a 256-bit key. The higher the level of encryption, the harder it is for unauthorized people to read encrypted information. Current versions of commercial off-the-shelf browsers all support 256-bit encryption; however, some older browsers may not be 256-bit encryption versions. Updates are available for download from their respective websites. Primis recommends that Customers protect their valuable financial information by using the most secure encryption possible.

Address of Banking Changes
It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the contact information in your user profile is current and accurate. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses. Changes can be made either within the application or by contacting Customer Service. Any changes in your Payment Account should also be made in accordance with the procedures outlined within the application’s Help files. All changes made are effective immediately for scheduled and future payments paid from the updated Payment Account information. The Provider is not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Payment Account or contact information.
Email Address
You agree to provide us with a current email address to receive email notifications and disclosures from Primis. You must immediately notify Primis of any changes or updates to your email address or if it becomes inoperative or inactive. You agree to immediately identify another email address to be used for the Service. You also agree that Primis is under no obligation to re-transmit any notifications to you that were returned “undeliverable” or otherwise rejected for delivery. Email will be the only notice you will receive advising you that electronic records have been posted to your account.
Account Information
Your Account information is confidential. Primis may, however, disclose information to a third party about your Account of the transfers only if you have given us permission to do so, or when it is necessary to complete transactions; verify the existence or status of your Account to a third party such as a credit bureau or merchant; to comply with a court order or the request of a government agency where it is necessary for activating additional services; or to a consumer reporting agency for research purposes only. By using the Service, you agree the information and transfers will be recorded and/or data captured. By using the Service, you consent to such recording.
Primis Alerts Terms and Conditions
Alerts. Your enrollment in Primis Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about Primis account(s). Alerts are provided within the following categories:
-
- Mandatory Alerts provide you with important account notifications, such as information about changes to your Online Banking password, PIN or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.
- Account Alerts provide you with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to your Service accounts, such as account balance, transactions posting and mobile deposits. These Alerts are automatically activated for you. Although you may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that you do not do so because they provide important information related to your Service accounts.
- Additional Alerts must be activated by you to be enabled. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from the Alert menu within <li> Online Banking and Alert menu within Primis Mobile Banking.
Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. You cannot maintain all Alerts through your mobile device. We may add new Alerts from time to time, or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel Alerts, but are not obligated to do so Primis reserves the right to terminate its Alerts service at any time without prior notice to you.
Methods of Delivery. We may provide Alerts through one or more channels (“EndPoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) your Primis Online Banking message in-box, by an e-mail message. You agree to receive Alerts through these EndPoints, and it is your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the EndPoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message Alerts provided through the Alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your EndPoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences. You agree to provide us a valid mobile phone number or email address so that we may send you Alerts. If your email address or your mobile device’s number changes, you are responsible for informing us of that change. Your Alerts will be updated to reflect the changes that you communicate to us with regard to your primary and secondary email addresses or mobile device number.
Alerts via Text Message. To stop Alerts via text message, text “STOP” to 99588 at anytime. Alerts sent to your primary email address will be unaffected by this action. To restore Alerts on your mobile phone, just visit the Alerts tab in Primis Online Banking and click the box next to your mobile number for the Alerts you’d like to receive again. For help with SMS text alerts, text “HELP” to 99588. In case of questions please contact customer service at 1-833-477-4647. Our participating carriers include (but are not limited to) AT&T, SprintPCS, T-Mobile®, U.S. Cellular®, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS.
Limitations. Primis provides Alerts as a convenience to you for information purposes only. An Alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide Alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside Primis’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold Primis, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.
Alert Information. As Alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that Alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your Alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.
