Substitute Checks. You agree not to deposit any substitute check or similar item that you have created, or for which no financial institution has provided any substitute check warranties and indemnity. If you do so, you agree to indemnify us for all losses we incur in connection with the substitute check or item. You agree not to deposit any substitute check without our consent.
Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute check(s).
Substitute Checks. You agree not to deposit substitute checks, as described below, or checks bearing a substitute check legal equivalence statement (“This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.”) to your account without our prior written consent. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, our acceptance of such checks shall not obligate us to accept such items at a later time, and we may cease doing so without prior notice. If we approve the deposit of substitute checks, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from all losses, costs, claims, actions, proceedings and attorney’s fees that we incur as a result of such checks, including without limitation, any indemnity or warranty claim that is made against us because: (a) the check fails to meet the requirements for legal equivalence, (b) a claimant makes a duplicate payment based on the original check, the substitute check, or a paper or electronic copy of either; or (c) a loss is incurred due to the receipt of the substitute check rather than the original check. Upon our request, you agree to provide us promptly with the original check or a copy that accurately reflects all of the information on the front and back of the original check when it was truncated. You agree not to issue checks with features or marks that obscure, alter or impair information on the front or back of a check or that otherwise prevents us or another bank from capturing such information during automated check processing. We may convert original checks to substitute checks. The following notice applies to consumer accounts and supersedes, where inconsistent, other terms in this agreement with respect to substitute checks.
Substitute Checks. WHAT IS A SUBSTITUTE CHECK? To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institu- tions to replace original checks with substitute checks. These checks are similar to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states, “This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.” A substitute check is a legal equivalent of the original check and may be used as proof of payment. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS REGARDING SUBSTITUTE CHECKS? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure to request a refund for losses suffered if a substitute check is incorrectly posted to an account. For example, a refund may be requested if the wrong amount was deducted from an account or if more than one deduction was made for the same check. Losses may include the amount withdrawn and any fees charged as a result of the withdrawal. Refunds are limited to the amount of the loss or the amount of the substitute check. Members may be entitled to dividends on the amount of the refund if the account is a dividend-bearing account. If the loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, additional amounts may be recovered under other law. If this procedure is used, the member may receive up to $2,500 of the refund (plus dividends if the account earns dividends) within 10 business days after the claim is received and the remainder of the refund (plus dividends if the account earns dividends) no later than 45 calendar days after the claim is received. We may reverse the refund, including any dividends on the refund, if we are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to the account. HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM FOR A REFUND? If you suspect that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check posted to your account, please contact Member One Federal Credit Union by writing to P.O. Box 12288, Roanoke, VA 24024 or by calling 000.000.0000 or 000.000.0000. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed or otherwise delivered by an agreed means the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. CLAIMS MUST INCLUDE: • A description of the loss (for example, the amount withdrawn was incorrect). • An estimate ...

We may convert original checks to substitute checks. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER We are required to obtain a taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) for each account you open or maintain with us. The TIN for a business is usually an employer identification number (EIN). The TIN for a sole proprietorship may be either a social security number (SSN) or an EIN. We must obtain this number even if you are not required to file tax returns. This number is included on reports we must file with state and federal tax authorities about interest we pay you. We may refuse to open, and we may close, any account for which you do not provide a certified TIN, even if you are exempt from backup withholding and information reporting. U.S. persons, including resident aliens, may be required to complete a Form W-9 to certify their TIN and backup withholding status. To establish that you are not a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (including a resident alien or non-resident alien individual), we...

Substitute Checks. You agree that you shall not deposit, without our express written consent, a document that you or someone on your behalf created or printed from an image or other electronic record of an original paper check (“substitute check document”). Our acceptance for deposit of a substitute check document from you shall not be deemed as a waiver of the foregoing prohibition on the deposit of substitute check documents. You also shall not identify us as a “reconverting bank” or “truncating bank” on a substitute check document you deposit at any other financial institution or transfer to any other person. You hereby agree to indemnify us for any loss that we incur directly or indirectly from your deposit or transfer of a substitute check document in violation of the limitations set forth in this paragraph. For checking accounts, you understand that when paid, your original check (or any substitute check) becomes property of the Credit Union and may not be returned to you. We have no obligation to retain the originals of any checks or other documentation. You agree to keep a copy of your original check in order to verify its validity. If you request us to provide you with an original check or sufficient copy, you agree that we may provide an electronic image of the original check or sufficient copy if you have agreed to receive account information or statements electronically. Further, the Credit Union may charge you a fee as set forth in the Schedule for each requested item and /or for research as applicable.
