If we don’t recognize your computer, we will ask you two confirmation questions. These are personal questions you have selected during set up to help us to recognize you when you log on from a new computer.

5. SECURITY TOKEN

The security token provides an additional level of security for you and your Administrators and/or Authorized Users internet banking session and cannot be shared with anyone else. The security token is personal to the individual to whom it was assigned and can only be used with their online banking access code.

We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that any Security Token that we provide to you will perform as necessary to permit access to the Business Online Banking as and when required. You and/or the relevant Administrators and/or authorized users will notify us immediately if any Security Token fails to function correctly.

We shall not be liable for any loss or damages incurred or suffered by you or your Primary Administrator, Administrators and/or Authorized Users arising from or in connection with, whether directly or indirectly, your and their use of the Security Token.

All Administrators and Authorized Users of the company are required to use Secure Tokens at the sign on level and when approving a wire or ACH payments. All Administrators and authorized users will need a Secure Token and PIN (Personal Identification Number), together referred to as a Passcode, to access the Service. Tokens will be given to the Administrator at the Company who will be responsible for distributing them to the appropriate users (including all individuals who are authorized to initiate ACH or Wire Transfer transactions). The user’s individual PIN and a Secure Token Code (the Passcode) will be required to make ACH or Wire Transfer transactions and will be required by all users at sign on.

The Bank will provide, at no cost, Secure Tokens for up to two (2) Users. Tokens for additional Users may be purchased based on the fee schedule. Replacement of lost or stolen tokens will be charged a fee based on the fee schedule. The Fee paid for “purchased tokens” is refundable if returned within the guidelines below:

Companies closing all on-line accounts or canceling Business Online Banking must return all Secure Tokens to the Bank within 14 days. Failure to do so will result in the Secure Token fee charged to the Company per Secure Token supplied, and forfeiture of the refund per Secure Token purchased by the Company.

You and your employees must keep your security token safe and secure and advise us immediately at (781) 329-6700 or 1-800-593- 4345 if it is lost, stolen or misused. We will deactivate your security token and arrange for a replacement one to be sent to you. A security token replacement fee will apply. Refer to our “Fee Schedule” brochure for applicable charges.

The bank may suspend or cancel Company’s Passcode even without receiving notice from the Company, if Bank suspects the Passcode is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

Your Primary Administrator and/or Administrator(s) may add additional Authorized Users to the system by enabling them under the Administration tool on Business Online Banking system. You may also delete an Authorized User by this process. Your Primary Administrator and/or Administrator can establish limits on each Authorized User’s authority to access information and conduct transactions. The Bank will act on instructions received under valid Passwords or Token Passcodes, will have no duty to further verify the identity of any Business Online Banking Authorized User with valid Passwords or Token Passcodes and shall not have any liability for transactions occurring on your account originated with valid Passwords or Token Passcodes.

After that time, the check may be paid and charged to your account unless you renew the stop payment request in writing for an additional fee. We recommend that you renew, in writing, the stop payment order prior to the expiration date unless you have received your original check(s) back or the original check(s) has been destroyed.

The request/notice is made subject to the terms of the Bank’s deposit agreements, as in effect from time to time. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from all actions, claims, and damages related to, or arising from, our action in stopping payment on any check pursuant to your stop payment request.
