The “Financial Institution” means a 3rd party financial institution named on the ACH Origination Authorization Agreement (the “Authorization” or “Agreement”).
1. Application of the Agreement
The transfers covered by the signed Agreement are direct debit of funds, using the Automated Clearing House (ACH), from your account at the Financial Institution that allows direct debit transactions. By agreeing to the Terms, you are authorizing SFCU to debit your account at the Financial Institution for recurring debits to make payment on a particular loan. These recurring debits shall continue to be processed until such time as you revoke your authorization as referenced below or the loan is paid in full. You understand that the agreements and rules and regulations applicable to all of your accounts and or loans with us remain in effect and continue to be applicable.
2. Indemnification
You acknowledge that all of the information you provided on the ACH Origination Authorization Agreement created by you and delivered to SFCU is true, complete and correct. You agree to indemnify and hold SFCU, its employees, agents, and/or assigns harmless from and against any and all causes of action, claims, liabilities or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise against SFCU, its agents, employees and/or assigns by reason of having relied on the information provided by you and/or related to SFCU providing the services pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
3. Beginning Date
You authorize us to begin processing recurring debits from your account at the Financial Institution beginning the date indicated on the Agreement or the 1st loan due date after we receive a completed Agreement, whichever is later. Such date will be included on the confirmation letter. In any case, we must receive a completed Agreement 15 business days prior to initiating ACH debit entries.
4. Limitations on Withdrawals
You may initiate ACH debits under the Agreement subject to the following conditions: (1) you have sufficient funds in your account at the Financial Institution; (2) these debits comply with the Agreement you have with the Financial Institution, who may have additional and/or different transaction limits beyond the control of SFCU.
5. Provisional Credits
Credit given by us to you with respect to an ACH debit entry is provisional until we receive final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank. If we do not receive such final settlement you agree that we are entitled to a refund for the amount credited to your SFCU account. All loan payments will be provisionally credited subject to subsequent verification and collection.
6. Returned or Rejected Debits
We may, but are under no obligation to, resubmit the debit and attempt to collect the funds from the Financial Institution at any time after a debit transaction is rejected or returned. If by following these procedures, we are unable to obtain reimbursement, you agree to pay us the monies you owe us including any applicable late fees associated with the loan.
7. Debit Amounts
All debits will be for the amount shown on the ACH Origination Authorization Agreement. You also authorize us to process any reversing debits and credits to correct any erroneous transactions. If the debit amount is greater than what is necessary to bring the loan balance to zero, than the amount of funds in excess of what is necessary to bring the loan to a zero balance will be deposited to your share account.
8. Monthly Loan Payment Amount
This amount is the scheduled monthly payment disclosed in your original loan disclosure for closed end fixed rate loans. For variable rate loans, this is the loan payment disclosed to you on your rate change notice. For line of credit loans, the monthly payment due is the higher of the minimum payment or the calculated payment based on your loan disclosure.
