Disclosure and Agreement
This Allegent Community Federal Credit Union Mobile Deposit Disclosure and Agreement (“Disclosure and Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions for the use of the Mobile Deposit Service (“Service”) that Allegent Community Federal Credit Union (hereinafter referred to as “ACFCU”, “the Credit Union”, “our”, “us” or “we”) may provide you (“you”, “your”, or “User”).
Your application for use of the Service, our notification of approval of your application, and your Allegent Community FCU Membership Agreement and Disclosures (“Account Agreement”) are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Disclosure and Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Disclosure and Agreement and your application, our approval, and the Account Agreement, this Disclosure and Agreement will supersede all other information, documents, disclosures, and agreements. You understand that your use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Disclosure and Agreement, and that our approval of your application for use of the Service must occur before you can use the Service. You agree to comply with the hardware and software requirements of the Service set for by the Credit Union and our Service providers.
Use of the Service. Mobile Deposit is designed to allow you to make deposits into eligible ACFCU deposit accounts (“Account”) by scanning a valid paper check (“image,” “item”) and delivering the image and associated deposit information to the Credit Union or the Credit Union’s designated processor. Upon receipt of an image, we will review the image for acceptability. You understand that our receipt of the image does not mean that the image will be accepted for deposit into your designated Account, and that you may be asked for additional images of the check or for more information before the image will be considered for deposit. Following receipt of the image, we may process the image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an image. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we reserve the right, within our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for deposit into your Account. You understand that any amount credited to your designated Account for any item deposited using the Service will be considered provisional until such time that we receive payment for the item from the financial institution on which the item was drawn.
You understand that we are not responsible for errors in images that may prevent or delay the deposit of funds into your account, and that we are not responsible for any image that we did not receive.

In the event that the Credit Union credits your Account for a Check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize the Credit Union to debit the amount of such Check plus any associated fees from the Account. To the extent that funds in your Account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any of your other Account(s) with the Credit Union in our sole discretion.
