E-Statement Disclosure

(Electronic Statements and Notifications)

This Agreement governs the receipt of your periodic account statements for those accounts which you designate (“Designated Accounts”) through Online Banking. In addition, you may receive most disclosures and notices on your Designated Accounts through the same web-based electronic service instead of by regular mail (“Disclosures”). These Disclosures may include:

  • Online Disclosure
  • Online e-Statement Disclosure

The delivery of periodic account statements and Disclosures electronically is referred to as the “e-Statements Service.”

This Agreement is in addition to all other agreements you may have with the Valley Bank, (“Bank”) including but not limited to the Cardholder Agreement, Deposit Agreement, Electronic Fund Transfer Disclosure, and Online Banking Disclosure.

Delivery of e-Statements and Disclosures

Each account cycle, you will receive an e-mail, at the e-mail address designated by you through Internet Banking, notifying you of the date when the periodic electronic statements (“e-statements”) for your Designated Accounts are available. This e-mail will be the only notice you receive of the availability of your e-Statements online. After signing into Internet Banking, you will be provided access to your e-Statement through the “Statements” menu. Access to your e-Statement will be provided for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of each e-Statement. You may make a copy of an e-Statement for your records by printing it to an attached printer or download it to a storage device.

By selecting e-Statement delivery in Personal Internet Banking, you will no longer receive paper statements for your Designated Accounts by U.S. mail. In addition, you may receive Disclosures regarding your Designated Accounts electronically and not in paper form. Disclosures may be attached in an e-mail, contained in the text of an email, posted separately from e-Statements on the “Statements” menu, contained within an e-Statement, or posted otherwise through Online Banking. Any email notifying you of the availability of or containing an e-Statement or a Disclosure is referred to as a “Notice Email.” Delivery of some Disclosures in electronic form does not require the Bank to deliver all notices or all notices of a particular type electronically.

A Notice Email to one owner of a joint owner Designated Account is considered notice to all owners. Notice Emails will be considered sufficient notice regardless of whether you actually access the Notice Email or the e-Statements or Disclosures through Valley Bank Online Banking.

Your Right to Receive a Paper Copy

If you have opted to receive electronic delivery of your monthly statement, you will still have a right to request a paper copy of your statement be made available.  Requests may be made by telephone by calling Valley Bank at (406) 752-7123.  Valley Bank will provide one (1) paper statement free of charge.  You will be charged $5.00 per statement for any additional statements unless the requested statements are in related to a documented bank error.

Requirements

You are required to provide the Bank with a valid email address. It is your responsibility to update your email address through Online Banking if you change your email address. If a Notice Email is returned undeliverable, the Bank may at its discretion discontinue your e-Statements Service and begin sending your periodic statements and Disclosures to you in paper form at the last postal address shown on our records.

You must maintain your e-mail address and access to the internet. You agree to maintain access at all times to personal computer capability sufficient to receive Notice E-mails, view your e-Statements and Disclosures, and to either download or print your e-Statements and Disclosures. If additional software becomes necessary to do any of these acts, you agree to obtain such software at your expense or to discontinue the Service.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bank and its successors, assigns, affiliates, officers, employees, directors, and agents against any loss, claims, damages, judgments, awards, legal obligations, costs or expenses, including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of Bank based upon, arising out of, or related in any way to your failure to protect your confidential information.
