Bankers Trust People Pay Disclosure and Addendum
This People Pay Disclosure and Addendum (the “Addendum”) supplements and constitutes a part of the Bankers Trust Internet Banking and Bill Pay Disclosure & Agreement (the “Agreement”), and sets forth additional terms and conditions for use of the Bankers Trust People Pay (the “Payment Service”). The Agreement remains in full force and effect and is supplemented by this Addendum. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and this Addendum, the terms of the Addendum will govern your use of the Payment Service. Further, by enrolling in the Payment Service, you agree that the terms of this Addendum apply only to your use of People Pay and do not apply to other products, services, or transactions under the Internet Banking Agreement or any other Agreements you have entered into with Bankers Trust (the “Bank”).
Payment Service Introduction. People Pay is a fast and easy electronic person-to-person payment service that facilitates transfers between your account and any person or entity with an eligible financial institution account. Additionally, you may receive funds through the Payment Service from a payment generated by another user of the Payment Service. In order to utilize the Payment Service, you must maintain an eligible funding account (“Account”) and enrollment in the Bankers Trust Internet Banking Service. An eligible funding account is an account with check-writing privileges that is linked and accessible via your Internet Banking account. Often this is the account you also utilize for the Bill Payment Service. You can facilitate a transfer (“Payment”) to a person or entity (“Recipient”) utilizing their financial institution information, email address, or mobile telephone number.
Payment Service Authorization. You (the “Sender”) authorize the Bank to follow Payment instructions we receive from you through the Payment Service when you provide us with the names, telephone numbers, email addresses, or bank account information for Recipients to whom you wish to direct Payments. When we initiate processing of such Payments you have authorized through the Payment Service, you also authorize us to debit the Account for the amount of the Payment, plus any service fees in effect at the time the Payment instructions are received, and to remit funds to the Recipient as indicated in the Payment instructions.
The Bank is relying on information you provide when you enter Payment instructions. Any errors, including incorrect Recipient names, email addresses, mobile telephone numbers, or bank or account number information, are your responsibility as the Sender, and the Bank does not confirm or verify the information you enter prior to sending the Payment.
