You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your personal identification information, such as your driver's license number and social security number. You understand that personal identification information alone, or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Your password and login ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts. Data transferred via Digital Banking is encrypted to provide transmission security and Digital Banking utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of Digital Banking transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to ensure that the Digital Banking is secure, you acknowledge that the Online is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Online and potentially can be monitored and read by others.

If you close your Primary Checking Account, you must contact us immediately to designate another account as your Primary Checking Account. You agree to pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request, which are not covered by this Agreement. You are also responsible for telephone and Online service fees you incur in connection with your use of Digital Banking.
Balance Reporting - Leader shall provide you, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement, with the service(s) that you requested as specified on the Enrollment Form, which is made a part of this Agreement. Leader shall provide prior day and memo post balance and transaction information on your Leader account(s). Leader shall not be responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of the delivery of any information furnished to the Digital Banking by other reporting banks.
Transfers - You agree that given the size, type, and frequency of transfers which you intend to make, the following procedures are commercially reasonable. You agree that Leader may solely rely on these procedures to verify the authenticity of your transfer requests. You agree to be bound by any transfer requested in its name and which complies with such procedures, whether authorized or not.
The procedures are as follows:
a. You are responsible for the input and verification of all information onto the Digital Banking. Leader shall have no responsibility to determine the accuracy of such information. Should there be any conflict between account number and account name, the account number shall prevail. Leader shall be entitled to rely upon any book transfer request reasonably believed by Leader to have been input by you or your authorized users.
b. Leader cut-off time for external transfer requests is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and for internal transfer requests is 7:00pm Eastern Time each Business day, after which time such requests may be processed the next Business day.
c. Leader may, in its sole discretion, reject any transfer request if there are insufficient balances available in your authorized account(s) or the transfer request (1) is not authenticated to Leader's satisfaction or which Leader, in good faith, believes may not be authorized by you; (2) contains incorrect, incomplete or ambiguous information; or (3) involves funds subject to a lien, hold, dispute or legal process which prevents their withdrawal. Leader shall incur no liability for any loss to you or to any third person occasioned by Leader's refusal to make such transfer.
d. Leader shall not be responsible for any loss or liability arising from: Your negligence or breach of this Agreement; any ambiguity or inaccuracy in any book transfer request or in the information set forth in this Agreement given to Leader by you; or from any error, failure or delay in the execution of a book transfer, including without limitation any inoperability of computer or communication facilities, or other circumstances beyond the Leader's reasonable control.
e. Types of Transfers:
- Obtain information about checking, savings or money market accounts;
- Obtain information about mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit or personal loans;
- Transfer funds to, from and between your checking, savings or money market accounts
(excluding passbook saving accounts); - Transfer funds to a Leader account owned by a different client;
- Make payments from a checking, savings or money market account to a mortgage loan, home
equity line of credit or personal loan; - Make advances from a home equity line of credit account to a savings, checking or money
market account; - Transfer funds to a third-party bank using External Transfer or Zelle??; and
- Make bill payments to third parties.
f. LIMITATIONS - With a Savings account and Money Market account you may make six (6) transfers from your account each four (4) week or similar period, if by preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephone (including date transmission) agreement, order or instruction. These transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card or similar order (including POS transactions), made by the depositor and payable to third parties. Transfers and withdrawals made in person, by messenger, by mail or at an ATM are unlimited. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds being held until the hold expires.
Posting of Transfers - External transfers initiated through Digital banking before 5:00 pm Eastern and internal transfers initiated through Digital Banking before 7:00 p.m. Eastern on a Business day (defined as Monday through Friday, banking holidays not included) are posted to your account the same day. Transfers completed after these cutoff times on a Business day, or on a Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday, may be posted on the next Business day. Digital Banking identifies transfers based upon the login ID of the user who made the electronic transfer. You agree to communicate
with any other persons with authorized access to your accounts concerning any transfers or Bill Payment Services from your accounts in order to avoid overdrafts.
Overdrafts (Order of Payments, Transfers, and other Withdrawals) - If your account has insufficient funds to perform all electronic fund transfers you have requested for a given Business day, then:
a. Electronic funds transfers involving currency disbursements, like ATM withdrawals, will have
priority;
b. Electronic fund transfers initiated through Digital Banking which would result in an overdraft of your account may, at our discretion, be canceled;
c. In the event the electronic fund transfers initiated through Digital Banking, which would result in an overdraft of your account, are not canceled, overdraft charges may be assessed pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement for that account.
Leader Online Bill Pay Service - You will be required to designate the Leader account from which the payments are to be made; the complete name of the payee, the account number, and the payee's remittance address, all exactly as shown on the billing statement or invoice; the amount of the payment; and the date you want the Payee to receive the payment which is also usually the date your account will be debited if the payment is made electronically. If the payment is made by check, funds will be debited form your account when the Payee deposits the check and Digital Banking clears the check through the banking system. If the date you want the Payee to receive your payment is not a
Business day, the date will be bumped to the previous Business day. By using the Bill Payment Service option, you agree that, based upon instructions received under your password, we can charge your designated account by electronic transfer, "no signature required draft", or by debiting and remitting funds on your behalf. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any payee designated by you. If we do so, we will notify you promptly.
Scheduling Digital Banking Payments - When you make a payment, you specify the date that you want the payee to receive the payment. The earliest available payment date is four business days from today. Leader Online Bill Pay determines whether a payment is sent electronically or by check, based on whether the payee accepts electronic payments and other guidelines. Transactions begin processing four (4) Business Days prior to your Scheduled Payment Date. Therefore, the application will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than four (4) Business Days from the current date. When scheduling payments, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later
than the actual Due Date reflected on your Payee statement unless the Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates should be prior to any late date or grace period. You understand and agree that we are not responsible for the timely delivery of mail or the improper transmission or handling of payments by a third party such as the failure of the bill payment payee to properly post a payment to your account.
How to Cancel a Bill Payment - You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Schedule Payment. Once the service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
Stop-Payment Requests - Digital Banking allows you to: (1) place a stop payment order request of up to six (6) months in duration; (2) cancel an existing stop payment order by calling the Leader; or (3) determine the paid status of a check. Any stop payment placed on the Digital Banking shall automatically expire, unless renewed by you, at the end of 180 days from date of the placement of the stop payment order by you.
a. You agree to indemnify Leader against any loss for the amount of said check and all expenses, costs and consequential damages, if any, incurred by Leader because of refusing payment pursuant to your stop payment order. You agree not to hold Leader liable on account of payment contrary to your stop payment order if same occurs through inadvertence, accident or oversight, or if by reason of such payment other items drawn by the undersigned are returned insufficient. You agree that any stop payment placed on any check issued on your accounts may be relied upon by Leader to have been placed by an agent of you duly authorized to place the stop payment, and Leader shall have no
duty or obligation to verify either the authenticity of the stop payment order request or the authority of the person placing it.
b. Stopping the payment of a check is different from the cancellation of a bill payment. Once the bill payment has been debited from your account, you CANNOT cancel or stop a bill payment, which has been paid electronically. You may be able to stop a Digital Banking bill payment paid by paper draft by contacting us by telephone before the paper draft has cleared. If the paper draft has not cleared, we will immediately process your stop-payment request. We will notify you immediately if the paper draft has already cleared. To be effective, this type of stop-payment request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the payee-assigned account number, the amount and scheduled date of the
payment, and the ID number from the Bill Payment View Posting Screen.
c. You may initiate stop-payment requests, via Digital Banking only for paper checks you have written (non-electronically) on your Leader accounts (not Digital Banking bill payer paper drafts.) Stop payment requests are processed on the Business day, up to 5 P.M. the date the stop payment has been requested. To be effective, this type of stop-payment request must precisely identify the account number, name of the payee, the check number, the amount, the date of the check, and the reason for stop payment. Leader shall have no responsibility to determine the accuracy of such
information. Leader shall provide you notice of the actual stop payment of a check by making such information accessible to you via the Digital Banking.
d. If you make your stop-payment request by telephone, we may also require you to put your request in the form of a paper writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. You will incur stop-payment charges as disclosed in the current fee schedule for the applicable account. Stop payment charges for Digital Banking bill payment paper drafts will be assessed in addition to the stop-payment charges for the applicable account.
e. PREAUTHORIZED ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS - Right to Stop Payment and procedures for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how: Call us at (781) 641-8686 or (855) 294-4488, or write us at 180 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474, in time for us to receive your request three (3) Business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. We will charge you $20.00 for each stop payment order you give.
f. Notice of varying amounts: If these regular payments may vary in amounts, the person you are going to pay will tell you, ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
g. Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) Business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Confidentiality and Privacy - Your use of Digital Banking and any Leader Account associated with Digital Banking is governed by the existing Privacy Policy for your accounts, as found here: https://leaderbank.com/privacy-security.

Periodic Statements - You will not receive a separate Digital Banking statement. Transfers to and from your accounts using Digital Banking will appear on the respective periodic statements for your Leader accounts.
Change in Terms - We may change any term of this Agreement at any time. If the change would result in increased fees for any Digital Banking Service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund transfers, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of transfers, we agree to give you notice at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or our electronic fund transfer system. We will post any required notice of the change in terms on the Digital Banking web site or forward it to you by e-mail or by postal mail. If advance notice of the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of the account or our electronic fund transfer system, we will notify you of the change in terms within thirty (30) days after the change becomes effective. Your continued use of any or all of the subject Digital Banking Services indicates your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable deposit agreements and disclosures.
In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Electronic Transfers, including Bill Payments - Telephone us at (781) 641-8686 or (855) 294-4488, or write us at 180 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474 as soon as you can if you think your paper statement is wrong, or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST paper statement on which the problem or error appeared. Please review your Electronic Fund Transfers Disclosure for additional information.
When you contact us:
a. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
b. Describe the error or transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why
you believe it is an error, or why you need more information.
c. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
d. If the suspected error relates to a bill payment made via the Bill Payment Service, tell us the account number used to pay the bill, payee name, the date the payment was sent, payment amount, ID number, and the payee account number for the payment in question. (This information appears on the Bill Payment View Posting Screen.)
If you contact us orally or by e-mail, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in the form of a paper writing by postal mail or fax within ten (10) Business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (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 forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question.
If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (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 in the form of a paper writing within ten (10) Business days, we may not credit your account.
If a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made, the error involves a new account. For errors involving new accounts, point of sale debit card transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) Business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer - If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account, including a bill payment made via the Bill Payment Service, on time or in the correct amount, according to this Agreement with you when you have properly instructed us to do so, we will be liable to you for your losses or damages caused as a result. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make a transfer.
- If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.
- If your account is closed or if it has been frozen.
- If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts.
- If you, or anyone authorized by you, commits any fraud, or violates any law or regulation.
- If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device, or any part of the Digital Banking electronic fund transfer system is not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transfer.
- If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information for the Bill Payment Service, including, without limitation, the name, address, your payee-assigned account number, payment date, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment.
- If you have not properly followed the on-screen instructions for using Digital Banking.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, interruption in telephone service or other communication lines) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers - CONTACT US AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost, stolen, used without your authorization, or otherwise compromised, or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your accounts without your permission. An immediate telephone call to us is the best way to reduce any possible losses. You could lose all the money in your accounts (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if any). If you contact us within two (2) Business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your password without your permission.
If you do NOT contact us within two (2) Business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access your accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your paper statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the paper statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost through transactions made after the sixty (60) day time period if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. The Leader, at its sole discretion, may waive these time limitations and extend the time periods.
Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability - We make no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, in connection with the Digital Banking Services provided to you under this Agreement.

Requirements
Each Image presented through Leader Mobile Deposit must contain an Image of both the front and back of the Original Check and must contain all the information that is contained on the front and back of the Original Check at the time presented to you by the Payor. Such information must include, but is not limited to, the following information:

If the check is made payable to you and another Payee, both of you must endorse the check, and it must be deposited into a Leader joint account owned by both of you. As described in your Account Agreement, we may not accept checks with multiple Endorsements for deposit unless we are able to verify each Endorsement.
Receipt of Deposit
All Images processed for deposit through Leader Mobile Deposit will be treated as "deposits" under your current Account Agreement with us and will be subject to all terms of the Account Agreement. When we receive an Image, the Image and the corresponding provisional deposit to your account will be posted to your online statement. The Image is not deemed "received" by us until the Image has been posted to your account. Such posting does not mean that the Image contains no errors or will be accepted for deposit. We are not responsible for any Image we do not receive. Following receipt, we may process the Image by preparing a "substitute check" or using the Image to clear the item. For more information regarding "substitute checks," please see the Substitute Check Disclosure provided with this agreement.
We reserve the right to reject any deposit made through Leader Mobile Deposit which fails to satisfy any of our processing requirements, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We will notify you of rejected Images. Reasons for rejection include, but are in no way limited to:
- An incomplete or missing Endorsement;
- An illegible check
- The Image is of poor quality;
- An altered check; or
- A duplicate check.
Original Checks - Retention and Destruction
After you receive confirmation that we have received an Image, you must securely store the Original Check for twenty-one (21) days after transmission to us and make the Original Check accessible to us at our request. We may request to view the Original Check for a variety of reasons (i.e., we have concerns with the accuracy or validity of the Image). Upon our request, and within five (5) business days, you must deliver to us, at your expense, the Original Check. If you do not provide the Original Check in a timely manner, the deposit in question will be reversed from your account. At the end of this twenty-one (21) day period, you must destroy the Original Check by first marking it "VOID" and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of an Original Check, the Image presented through Leader Mobile Deposit will be the sole evidence of the Original Check.
As a condition of depositing any item through Leader Mobile Deposit, you agree that you will never re-present the Original Check. You understand that you are responsible for any losses incurred by Leader if the Original Check is ever presented again for payment and agree to indemnify us for any such losses.
Returned Deposits
Credit to your account for any check deposited using Leader Mobile Deposit is provisional. If any check deposited through Leader Mobile Deposit is dishonored, rejected, or otherwise returned unpaid for any reason, including without limitation issues relating to the quality of the Image that you have transmitted to us, you will receive an Image, reproduction or substitute of the Original Check and we will charge the deposit amount back to your account. As with any returned item, you will be responsible for reimbursing us for all loss, cost, damage, or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. You are prohibited from attempting to deposit or otherwise negotiate an Original Check through Leader Mobile Deposit if it has been charged back to you.
As described in your Account Agreement, if you deposit a check through Leader Mobile Deposit that is returned to us for any reason, including but limited to insufficient funds of the Payor, we may "set off" the amount of the returned item. We may "set off" by debiting the account into which you deposited the returned item or by transferring funds from another Leader account held by you. We may do so whether or not the reason for the returned item was presented to us on a timely basis. For information regarding fees that may be assessed to you for the return of deposits, please see the Schedule of Fees brochure provided to you with your account documents.

10. Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. As required by applicable law, we will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds.
11. Returned Transfers.
