You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system AND the information has been processed and/or transmitted to us through the Service.   For Business Customers, the term "transfers" also includes ACH and wire transactions.  If a transfer is made and funds are not available, the transfer will continue to attempt to be processed until the funds are available.  

If you accidentally transfer funds, you can schedule another transfer to move funds to back to the original account.

For assistance, you can send us a secure e-mail through the Service or call our Internet Banking Department at the number stated above. 

For Business Customers, additional guidance on creating, canceling, editing ACH and wire transactions is available within the Service and from our customer service department.  Business Customers may edit, delete, or unapprove wire transfers or ACH transactions prior to the effective date.  After-cut-off time, if changes are necessary, we may not have sufficient time to stop such transactions from further processing. Separate agreements may detail the required time-frames for submitting and making changes to these types of transactions.  

12. Privacy

We understand how important privacy is to our customers.  We have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your financial transactions with us.   You should read our privacy notice before completing the enrollment process for the Service for addition detail on disclosure of account information.  

(A) Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties 

It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential.  However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make:

    • To complete transfers as necessary;
    • To verify the existence and condition of your account upon the request of a third party, such as a credit bureau or Biller;
    • To comply with a governmental agency or court orders; or
    • If you give us your written permission.

13. Internet Security 

The Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating your access to the Service, our Internet Banking Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with the Eligible Account (s) that you request to be linked to the Service.

User IDs and Passwords - One of the main security features protecting the Service is the unique combination of your Access Identification Code (User ID) and Password.  During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique User ID, and then choose a Password that will be used to gain access to the Service.  You determine your own Password, which is encrypted in our database.  Neither this Institution nor its Service Providers have access to this information.  The Service will automatically deactivate your account after three unsuccessful login attempts within a 24-hour time frame.   You may reset your password online or you may contact this Institution for assistance.

Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.

  • You should carefully select a Password that is hard to guess.
  • You should not use words based on your name, address or other personal information. 
  • Special characters may be used to increase security.
  • Do NOT use dictionary words.  The "Help" link within the Service will offer tips on choosing a secure    Password that you can remember.
  • Keep your Password safe.
  • Memorize your Password and do NOT write it down. 
  • You should also change your Password occasionally, such as every 90 days.
  • A Password should be changed immediately if you suspect that your Password has been compromised.  This can be done at any time from the "Services" tab and choose change password in the drop down box. 
  • Neither this institution nor its service providers will contact you via telephone or email requesting personal information, your access ID, or your password.  If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately. 

Encryption – The Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using Internet banking.  Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Service.  The Service requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption. The Service will warn you if your browser does not meet this requirement.

Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from "open" to "locked". What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.

Certificate Authority - The servers hosting the Service have been certified by a Certificate Authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the Service instead of someone pretending to be us. If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 4.0 on Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see that the Certificate Authorities key may have expired; you will need to update your browser. Instructions for upgrading your browser are located on the Browser SSL Update link, which is located on the Service login page.  By clicking on the lock within the Service, you can view the certificate to ensure it’s valid. 

Cookies - During your use of the Service, our Internet banking Service Provider will pass an encrypted cookie to your computer in order to identify your computer during the session.  This cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide an User ID and Password for each individual transaction.  Users must accept this cookie to use the Service.  This cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides another level of security for our Internet banking product.  The cookie is stored on your computer’s hard-drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on.  When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie will be destroyed.  A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.

Additional Security Guidelines:  

      • All Authorized Users should sign-off after every Service session; however, online sessions will automatically end after ten (10) minutes of inactivity. This to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log-in.
      • The security of public computers (e.g. in a library, or Internet café) cannot be assured; therefore we recommend that you refrain from accessing the Service on a public computer.
      • Routinely scan your computer, servers, and electronic media using a reliable virus detection product.  Undetected or un-repaired viruses may corrupt and destroy your programs, files, and even your hardware.  Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit a virus to other computers.
      • Use a firewall product (hardware and/or software), especially if you have a broadband Internet connection such as DSL or cable modem.
      • Periodically update your computer operating system and browser for critical security related patches.  We recommend use of the most current, fully patched, versions of Internet browsers for accessing the Service.

14. Your Password Responsibilities

When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available your password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individuals.  You are responsible for all transfers you authorize using the Service.  If you permit other persons to use the Service, your password, or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize.

If you believe that your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling 620-544-4331during customer service hours. You can also contact us by sending a secure message through the Service.

If you or your authorized users disclose your password to anyone, and/or if you allow someone to use your password to access your accounts, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf and you will be responsible for any use of the service by them (e.g., providing information to a joint account holder, an employee, and/or an aggregation service provider).

In addition to the security features described above, there may be other security related notices posted on our website or the Service from time-to-time.  It is your responsibility to read all security notices.

15. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly.  However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, your Eligible Account(s) does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction. 
  2. The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by this Institution and/or its  Service Providers about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  3. Your Eligible Account(s) is closed;
  4. If your computer, software, telecommunication lines were not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted a transfer;
  5. The transaction request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal;
  6. We have reason to believe that transaction request may not be authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary; and/or
  7. Circumstances beyond control of the Service, our Service Providers, and this Institution (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), this Financial Institution and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to the correct Account.

16. Documentation and Verification of Transfers

Information regarding Internet Banking transactions will be reflected on the account detail in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).

  • Write us at Citizens State Bank, P.O. Box 728, Hugoton, KS  67951; or
  • Contact us by using the secure messaging feature within the Service.

If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. 

Tell us your name, relevant Service account number(s), and User ID;

Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.

Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. 

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. 

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly.  If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate you complaint or question.  If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete our investigation.  If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your account.

If a notice of error involves an electronic transfer that occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made, the error involves a new account.  For errors involving new accounts, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation.  If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.  You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. 

(B) Consumer Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID or Password has been lost or stolen or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission.  Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.  You could lose all the money in your account.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, you must tell us at once.  If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.  If you believe that your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred money from your account without your permission, call (620) 544-4331, or write us at Citizens State Bank, P.O.
