Dual Control definition

Dual Control refers to the segregation of duties such that one individual may initiate a transaction while a second individual may verify, approve, and/or release it. Dual Control is a required System Security Procedure for both the ACH and Wire Transfer Services. In the event Customer is not willing or able to designate two or more Users and segregate functions for security purposes, Bank will be relieved of responsibility for any unauthorized or inappropriate access to Customer’s Account(s) through the completion of Bank’s Waiver of Dual Control Form. For administrative functions, Dual Control is an optional System Security Procedure that reduces the potential for internal fraud and external compromise from malicious software, especially if the individuals performing the administrative function(s) in question use different access devices. When a security token device is used as part of the Credentials, Customer agrees to establish and implement physical, technical and administrative measures to prevent unauthorized use of such tokens. Losses that arise from unauthorized access to the System because of improper safekeeping of tokens are the responsibility of Customer. Customer agrees to notify Bank immediately if any tokens should be lost or placed in the custody of an unauthorized Person. Customer agrees to educate its Administrators and Users in appropriate security procedures including, but not limited to, signing off the System when they are not using it; the risks associated with opening email and/or attachments, especially those from unknown sources; and the risks associated with clicking on or opening pop-ups and web links. Customer agrees to maintain appropriate technological safeguards including, but not limited to, strong web content filtering and scanning, firewalls, and anti-virus, anti- spam, and anti-spyware systems. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer’s responsibility to keep hardware and software systems up-to-date, including the most current security patches. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank’s System Security Procedures and controls are commercially reasonable based on the size and complexity of Customer’s business and are appropriate for Customer’s Accounts. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that System Security Procedures and controls may change from time to time. If Customer, at any time, believes that security is insufficient or not commercially reasonable, Customer agrees to notify Bank immediately.

• However, if you choose to not use an additional security tool (such as Dual Control) that we make available to you, then you release and hold us harmless from any loss that you or we may suffer to the extent that such loss could have been detected, prevented, reduced or recovered by your use of that additional security tool.

• We strongly recommend that your internal controls include all Dual Control features that may be available with any Service.
