Hardware and Software Requirements
For optimum viewing and functionality of Home Banking and applicable disclosures please review the web browser requirements by going to https://www.netit.financial-net.com/flfcu and click on About Security. For technical assistance please contact your Internet Service Provider.
Home Banking Services
- Review transactions on your account
- Transfer money between Shares, Share Draft and other internal accounts* (Must be joint on the account. Limitations may apply).
- See a summary of your account
- Transfer payments to your credit union loans, or Christmas club account
- Schedule transfers for a specific date. Exception-Weekend
- Options to export to Quicken and Money
We can process a funds transfer on the same Business Day as your Home Banking session. For purposes of these disclosures, Homebase Credit Union business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. If you schedule a one-time transfer, for a future date, we process that transaction after 2:00 on that date. EXCEPTION: If the scheduled transfer date is other than a business day.
When you schedule a funds transfer using the Home Banking service, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your account. We deduct the amount of your funds transfer from your account on the date we process your instructions.
We process fund transfers only if there are sufficient funds available in your account. If sufficient funds are not available in your Account on the date a loan payment/transfer is scheduled to be made, the transfer will not be processed and it is your responsibility to check your account.
Bill Pay Service
You authorize Homebase Credit Union to utilize Fiserv to provide the Services to you on our behalf. In order to use Bill Pay, you must have a Homebase Credit Union checking account. You will be able to use the Bill Pay service 24 hours after you have enrolled, excluding weekends and holidays.
Payment of Taxes or Court directed payments and payment to payees outside the United States via the Services is prohibited.
We reserve the right to refuse to make any payment and/or transfer.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you authorize us, and any third party acting on Our behalf, to choose the most effective method to process your payment and/or transfer, including, without limitation, electronic, paper or some other draft means. For each properly instructed payment to an eligible Merchant and/or transfer to a targeted account you will receive a transaction confirmation number (Confirmation Number).
The Payment Date indicated by You must always be a Business Day (as defined above). If it is not, the Payment Date will be deemed to be the first Business Day before or after the date indicated. Schedule your payment to a Merchant at least five (5) business days before the due date.
We shall not be liable for any failure to make a payment and/or a transfer, including any finance charges or late fees incurred as a result. It is also important that the payment date be scheduled before the merchant due date, not the late date, and since the time for us to process your payment varies according to the particular merchant, you must become familiar with the payment processing time for each merchant you desire to pay, and allow the appropriate number of business days between the day you input your payment instruction and the payment date.
The business date of the payment, which will be debited from your account at 2:00 p.m. EST, is not included in the five business day period required for processing the transaction. Subject to the limitation discussed below, if you follow the procedures described in this agreement for payment and the bill payment processor has made an error, we will reimburse you for that late charge up to a maximum of fifty dollars ($50.00) if you are assessed a penalty or late charge in the event that you do not adhere to the obligations set forth in this agreement, or you schedule a payment less than the number of business days before the due date required for a particular merchant, the bill payment processor and the credit union will not guarantee the timely delivery of any non-electronic payment (check) that is mailed to the merchant due to the fact that the credit union and the bill payment processor has no control of the United States Postal Service. You will bear full responsibility for all penalties and late fees and we will not be liable for any such charges or fees. The Service assumes no liability for the late posting or misapplication of payment once funds are received by merchants. This absence of liability, however, does not preclude the credit union from working to resolve these types of issues when they arise.
If a payment is processed in the form of a check rather than an electronic funds transfer, the Credit Union and the payment processing vendor may not be held liable for the timely delivery of said item by the United States Post Office. Payment of any late fees incurred by the transaction are subject to the aforementioned requirements in this agreement. After the 5th business day has past from the process date of the transaction, a payment investigation may be requested. A payment investigation may occur on the 6th business day from the transaction and involves a seven to ten business day investigation period. During which time, the payment processor will be in contact with the merchant in question.
Payment Cancellation or Modification
Except for those transfers which are completed immediately, you may cancel or modify a scheduled payment and/or transfer up to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the same business day.
If a stop payment is requested by the member after the 5th business day, there is a 2 business day waiting period to confirm the stop payment has occurred. After the two business day period has past, the member's account will be credited back within 3 to 6 business days. Limitation: under no circumstances will we be liable if we are unable to complete any payments and/or transfers initiated in a timely manner via the Services because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- You do not obtain confirmation at the time you initiate a payment and/or transfer.
- The designated account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the payment and/or transfer.
- You have closed the designated account.
- We have identified you as a credit risk and have chosen to (i) make all payments and/or transfers initiated by you via the Services utilizing a paper, as opposed to electronic, method, or (ii) to terminate your subscription to the Services.
- The Services, your equipment, the software, or any communications link is not working properly and you know or have been advised by Us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction.
- You have not provided Us with the correct information for those Merchants to whom you wish to direct payment or accounts to which you wish to make a transfer.
- The Merchant mishandles or delays handling payments sent by us.
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside source) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid these circumstances.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, WHETHER CAUSED BY YOUR EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY TECHNICAL OR EDITORIAL ERRORS CONTAINED IN OR OMISSIONS FROM ANY USER GUIDE/BROCHURE RELATED TO THE SERVICES. WE SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE OR MAINTENANCE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE OR THE SERVICES, EXCEPT WHERE THE LAW REQUIRES A DIFFERENT STANDARD.
You will receive a monthly account statement from us, unless there are no transactions in a particular month. In any case, you will receive an account statement on all of your accounts at least quarterly.
Federal Regulation requires us to limit either by contract or in practice the number of certain types of transfers from savings (shares). Under these regulations you are limited to six (6) preauthorized electronic fund transfers and telephone transfers-including Home Banking transactions, checks and point -of-sale transactions per month. Of these six transactions, you are limited to no more than three transactions per month by check or point-of-sale. Each fund transfer or payment through Home Banking services from your savings (shares) account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you are permitted each month. However, payments to your loan accounts with us are not counted toward this limit for savings (share) accounts.
Fees: For savings/share accounts an excess transaction fee may apply to each withdrawal made through Home Banking Services that exceeds the number of limited transactions permitted by Federal regulations each statement period described in your account agreement.
Bill Pay Fee Schedule
- Virtual Branch: No charge
- Bill Payment: No charge
- Bill Payment Service: No charge
- Stop Payment: $25.00 per request

The member must request the stop payment in writing, and the $25.00 stop payment fee will be deducted from the members checking account.

Reporting Unauthorized Transactions
You should notify us immediately if you believe your PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account. To notify us call 1-804-452-0736, Monday through Friday 9am to 5 pm, contact us electronically by sending a message through the Credit Union's e-mail, [email protected]* or write: Homebase Credit Union, 4495 Crossings Blvd, Prince George, VA 23875.
Member’s Liability for Unauthorized Transactions
Federal law requires that if you believe your PIN has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your PIN without your permission.
Please tell us AT ONCE if you believe your PIN has been lost or stolen. Telephoning us at 1-804-452-0736 or sending us e-mail at [email protected]* are the best ways of keeping our possible losses down. If you do not notify us promptly, it is possible that you could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you could lose no more than $50 if someone used your PIN without your permission.
If you do NOT notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your PIN, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the FIRST statement showing such a transfer was mailed to you, you may not get back any money, you lost after the 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. Your role is extremely important in the prevention of any wrongful use of your account. You must promptly examine your account statement upon receipt. If you find that your records and ours disagree, you must call 1-804-452-0736 or e-mail [email protected]* us immediately.
Please provide the following information:
- Tell us your name and account number.
- Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is in 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 us your complaint or question in writing within 10 BUSINESS DAYS. We will tell you the results of our investigation within 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 45 DAYS to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will re-credit your account within 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 us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 BUSINESS DAYS, we may not re-credit your account.
Credit Union’s Responsibility
If we fail to complete a transfer to or from your account on time in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However there are some exceptions:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer.
- If the funds in your Account were attached or the transfer cannot be made because of legal restrictions affecting your Account;
- If circumstances beyond our control such as interruption of telephone service or telecommunication facilities, or natural disaster (such as a fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

NO CLASS ACTION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.
29. Law and Forum for Disputes
Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which you reside, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Section 28 of the General Terms above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which you reside. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under Section 28 of the General Terms of this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

In addition, if applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
32. No Waiver
We shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

Account to Account Transfers Additional Terms
1. Description of Service, Authorization and Processing
- The term “Transfer Money Terms” means these Account to Account Transfers Additional Terms. The Account to Account transfer service (for purposes of these Transfer Money Terms, and the General Terms as they apply to these Transfer Money Terms, the "Service") enables you to transfer funds between your Account(s) that you maintain with us on the one hand, and your Account(s) that are maintained by other financial institutions, on the other hand. You represent and warrant that you are either the sole owner or a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds between the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account. If you are a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account, External Account, or both, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized by all of the other joint owners to operate such Accounts without their consent (including without limitation to withdraw or deposit any amount of funds to such Accounts or to even withdraw all funds from such Accounts); and (ii) we may act on your instructions regarding such Accounts without liability to such other joint owners. Further, you represent and warrant that the External Account is located in the United States.
- When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 5 of the Transfer Money Terms (Service Fees and Additional Charges); or, as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 5 of the Transfer Money Terms (Service Fees and Additional Charges). You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable Account if the debit is returned from the other Account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds.
- We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
- If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
- The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
- The transfer is refused as described in Section 6 of the Transfer Money Terms below;
- You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Eligible Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
- It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
2. Transfer Methods and Amounts
Section 15 of the General Terms (Payment Methods and Amounts) applies to the Service, even in circumstances where the External Account is closed and we are attempting to return funds to such Account.
3. Transfer Cancellation Requests and Refused Transfers
You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Service). We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Account that we debited for the funds transfer. If this is unsuccessful (for example, the Eligible Transaction Account has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to otherwise return the funds to you.
4. Stop Payment Requests
If you desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact customer care for the Service pursuant to Section 22 of the General Terms. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
5. Service Fees and Additional Charges
You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the Service will be charged against the Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the Service. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. Section 18 of the General Terms (Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Service, including without limitation if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the External Account; Section 18 of the General Terms should be interpreted as applying to the External Account, not just the Eligible Transaction Account, in such circumstances.
6. Refused Transfers
We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a transfer that is not allowed under this Agreement.
7. Returned Transfers
In using the Service, you understand transfers may be returned for various reasons such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Account or void the transfer and credit your Account from which you attempted to transfer funds. You may receive notification from us.
