Eligible Accounts –An Eligible Account means any one of your account(s) to which we may allow access through the Service under this Agreement.  Only a checking account may be eligible for Bill Payment privileges.  We may make additional accounts available for Bill Payment services from time-to-time as allowed by law or our Bill Payment Service Provider.  Should you wish to enroll in Bill Pay, a separate Bill Pay Agreement will be presented to you prior to enrollment.

You may request Internet access to any account on which you are a signer or owner.  If you or your Authorized Users desire features of the Service that allow you to initiate Bill Payments, transfers, ACH transactions, or otherwise remove funds from an account, you must have the required withdrawal authority over the relevant Eligible Account.   

When using the Service, you agree to maintain one or more Eligible Accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in any account to cover any transaction and fees that are ultimately approved by or related to the Service.

Joint Accounts - If the accounts added to the Service are jointly held or have multiple signers, you agree that access to the information and all transactions initiated by the use of your Access ID and Password are authorized unless we have been notified to cancel the Service.  In some cases, if your account requires two signatures for withdrawal, we may only grant view privileges to your Eligible Accounts through the Service.  Joint account holders may be assigned individual access IDs.  In this case, the Service may be identified as two separate services.  Transaction history is maintained for each Access ID.

Service Hours - You can use the Service seven days a week, 24 hours a day, although some or all features may not be available occasionally due to emergencies or scheduled system maintenance.  In addition, access to the Service may be slower at times due to high Internet traffic or other factors beyond our control.  We are not responsible for any delays or difficulties you may have in accessing the Service or certain features.

You may change the method of delivery at any time (e.g., from electronic format to paper format) by contacting us at:

In addition, you can request paper copies of documents through the Service. Additional fees for paper copies may be imposed depending on the type of account you have and/or the reason and frequency of your requests for paper copies.

You should print or save a copy of all disclosures delivered electronically.

9.         Enrollment Process

You must complete the enrollment process via the Internet to use the Service.  
To enroll in Online Banking for the first time, you will use your Tyndall member number as your User ID and your GENIE24 PIN (Tyndall’s automated telephone banking system) as your initial Password.  If you are already enrolled in Online Banking at the time we switch to our new provider (July 2010), you will use your Tyndall member number as your User ID and your GENIE24 PIN (Tyndall’s automated telephone banking system) as your Password to log in for the first time. Tyndall Federal Credit Union will validate your identity and enable the Service.  In either case, you will be prompted to change your User ID and Password during the initial access/enrollment process. You will also be prompted to set up your security questions, which will be used in the event that you forget your Password in the future.  

When you enroll for the Service, you agree to provide true and accurate enrollment information.  Tyndall e-Banking will verify the information you submit for accuracy and proper authorizations.

10.     Signature Requirements

When any transfer, ACH, or other Payment Instruction is initiated through the Service for your benefit, you agree that we may debit the designated Eligible Accounts without requiring your signature on the item and without any notice to you. Requirements for dual signatures on checks, if applicable, do NOT apply to Bill Payments or other transfers initiated through the Service.  Any Authorized User must be authorized individually to make electronic transfers and online Bill Payments even though that person’s authority to make transfers by other means may still require dual signatures.

11.       Account Balances

Balances shown in your accounts may include deposits subject to verification by us. The balance may also differ from your records due to deposits in progress, checks outstanding, or other withdrawals, payments or charges. A scheduled transfer request may not result in immediate availability because of the time required to process the request. A scheduled transfer request must be made before the Business Day Cut-off time of 11:59 am Central Standard Time to be effective the same Business Day.
The Service will display the most current balances on the Accounts page. There may be situations that cause a delay in an update of your balances, due to the un-posted “pending” transactions, but you will be able to see those pending transactions in most cases. The Service will use the most current balance available at the time of a transaction to base our approval for account transfers.

12.       Bill Payment and Transfer Limitations

You may use the Service to check the balance of your Eligible Account(s) and to transfer funds among your Eligible Accounts at this financial institution.  However, current federal regulations restrict the number of transactions that you can make from certain types of accounts, such as Money Market and Savings Accounts.  For these types of accounts, you may not make more than six (6) pre-authorized EFTs, which include computed initiated transfers, telephone transfers, checks, and point-of-sale transactions during a given monthly statement period. Transfers and bill payments authorized by personal computer through the Service are counted toward the six permitted monthly transfers. Bill payments are considered third party transfers and are considered subject to Regulation D if they are withdrawn from a Share or Money Market Account. Federal regulations currently place no limits on the number of transfers or bill payments from your Checking Account; therefore this financial institution currently limits the Bill Pay Service to only Checking Accounts.

13.       Canceling or Changing Transfers

You cannot cancel a transfer after it has been entered into the system AND the information has been processed and/or transmitted to us via the Service; however, you can edit or change a transfer that is still “pending”, meaning that it has not been processed.
In order to cancel or change a pending transfer that has not been submitted for processing, use the following procedures:

  • Log in and make edits to pending transfers.
  • Edits must be made before 11:59 am CST for scheduled transfers to be processed the same Business Day.
  • You may edit a pre-scheduled (future dated/recurring) transfer anytime before 11:59 am Central Standard Time, on the Business Day before the scheduled transfer date.
  • If you accidentally transfer funds, you can schedule another transfer to move funds back to the original account if the account ownership allows you to do so.

For assistance, you can send us a secure email through the Service or call Tyndall e-Banking Support.

If you need our assistance on making edits to recurring/future dated transfers, send us a secure email through the Service; however, we must receive your request three (3) Business Days or more before the transaction is scheduled for processing.  If you call, we may also require that you to put your request in writing and submit it to us within 14 days after the call.

14.       Other Features Available through the Online Banking Service

(A)           Stop Payment Feature
The stop payment feature within the Service should NOT be used to cancel transfers and bill payments. The stop payment feature within the Service is for stopping payments on checks that you have written or for stopping pre-authorized electronic drafts (such as check-by-phone payments for which an actual check is created with a unique check number).  This feature is accessible in the User Options tab of the Online Banking Service and provides a means to securely request a stop payment.  If the stop payment is successful, it will post to your account immediately.  Please note that a stop payment is not guaranteed for the first 24 hours, and there may be situations in which a stop payment may not be possible.  If your request is urgent, we recommend that you contact our Call Center directly at 850-747-4300 or 888-896-3255, toll-free, or visit your nearest branch location.

There is a stop payment fee associated with this feature.  Please refer to our Fee Schedule for additional information on fees and service charges associated with stop payments.  Additional terms of acceptance or disclosures may apply on the stop payment service and these disclosures will be made at the time you complete the request.

(B)    Additional features within the Service include: check reorders, secure emails, address changes, and personal financial management software. Generally, requests received through the secure email feature of the Service will be processed within one (1) Business Day.  For urgent requests, we recommend that you contact our Call Center.

We also offer a link for check reorders. This link will redirect you to our check printing partner to enable you to reorder your checks.  

15.       Information Authorization

Your enrollment in the Service may not be fulfilled if we cannot verify your identity or other necessary information. Through your enrollment in the Bill Pay Service, you agree that our Bill Pay Service Provider reserves the right to request a review of your credit rating at its own expense through an authorized bureau.  In addition, you agree that our Bill Pay Service Provider reserves the right to obtain financial information regarding your account from a Biller or from this financial institution (for example, to resolve payment posting problems or for verification).

16.       Exclusions of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

NOTWITHSTANDING OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVICE IS SECURE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ALL DATA TRANSFERS VIA THE SERVICE WILL BE FREE FROM MONITORING OR ACCESS BY OTHERS.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE, INSTALLATIONS, AND OPERATION OF YOUR COMPUTER.  NEITHER THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION NOR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, ERRORS, DELETIONS, OR FAILURES THAT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY MALFUNCTION OF YOUR COMPUTER OR SOFTWARE.

THE FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE TYNDALL FCU AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDER’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  IN NO EVENT SHALL TYNDALL FCU OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR ATTORNEYS FEES  (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE, OR MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

17.       Reg E Disclosures

Please read the following EFT disclosures carefully.  You should print a copy of this information for future reference.

(A)      Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID or Password has been lost or stolen. Contacting us by phone is the best way of minimizing your possible losses.  You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit).
If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your Password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission.  If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.

If your monthly financial institution statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once.  If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time.  If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

(B)    Errors and Questions
In case of errors or questions about your EFT transactions, you must notify us as soon as possible through one of the following methods:
Call us at 850-873-3600 or 888-896-3255, Option 5 (toll-free) during business hours;
  • Write us at: PO Box 59760, Panama City, FL 32412-0760;
  • Send us a secure email through the Online Banking Service; or,
  • For bill payments, initiate a payment inquiry in the Bill Pay section of Online Banking.
If you think your statement is incorrect, or you need more information about an electronic transfer or bill pay transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement was sent to you on which the problem or error appears.  You must:
  1. Tell us your Name, Member Number(s), and User ID;
  2. Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and,
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us verbally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your verbal notification.  We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. However, if we require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our investigation.  If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you think is in error.  If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your account.

For Bill Pay and other EFT errors involving new accounts, 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.

If it is determined there was no error, we will mail you a written explanation within three (3) Business Days after completion of our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation. The Service may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.

(C)      Other Problems
If you believe an error, other than an EFT (electronic bill pay or transfer) has occurred, you can call us at:
  •     850-873-3600 or 888-896-3255, Option 5 (toll-free) or
  •     Send us a secure email through the Online Banking Service.

(D)    Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make ONLY in the following situations:

  • Where it is necessary for activating additional services;
  • In order to verify the existence and condition of your account to a third party, such as a credit bureau or Biller;
  • To a consumer reporting agency for research and product improvement purposes only;
  • In order to comply with a governmental agency or court orders; or,
  • If you give your written permission.

Please refer to our Privacy Notice for additional detail on disclosure of account    information.
(E)    Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
  1. If we do not complete a transaction to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to your instructions or our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages.  However, there are some exceptions.  We will not be liable, for instance:
  2. If, through no fault of ours, your Eligible Account or Bill Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction, or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
  3. Your Eligible Account or Bill Payment Account(s) is closed;
  4. The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  5. Circumstances beyond the control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent     the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken     reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances;
  6. If your computer, software, or telecommunication lines were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable, and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or bill payment;
  7. If we have reason to believe that a transaction request may not be authorized by you or any third party whose authorization we believe is necessary;
  8. If the payment request involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction, or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal.
(F)    Documentation and Verification of Payments and Transfers
Information regarding Online Banking and Bill Pay transactions will be reflected in the account detail and account history sections of the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).

18.       Privacy and Internet Security
(A)    Privacy
We understand how important privacy is to our members.  We have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your financial transactions with us.  You should read our Privacy Notice before completing the enrollment process for the Service.

(B)    Internet Security
The Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating your access to the Service, our Online Banking Department will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with the Eligible Account(s) that you request to be tied to the Service.

User IDs and Passwords - One of the main security features protecting the Service is the unique combination of your User ID and Password.  During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique User ID, and then choose a Password that will be used to gain access to the Service.  You determine your own Password, which is encrypted in our database.  Neither this financial institution nor its Service Providers have access to this information.
Our Service also uses a program that will help you select a good Password. Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.  You should carefully select a Password that is hard to guess. The Password security program will encourage you to stay away from words based on your name, address or other personal information.  Your Password is case-sensitive and must meet the following minimum requirements:
  • should be between 8 and 12 characters
  • should be at least 2 letters
  • should be at least 1 number
  • should have at least 1 special character (a special character is any one of the following: ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ + - = ( ) [ ] { } ~ ; : , . / ?)
  • cannot contain leading or trailing blanks

Note:  Special characters are used to increase security.  Do NOT use dictionary words.  
Keep your Password safe. Memorize your Password and do NOT write it down. You should also change your Password occasionally, such as every 90 days.  A Password should be changed immediately if you suspect that your Password has been compromised.  This can be done at any time from the User Options tab after you log on to the Service.  

We will not contact you unexpectedly via telephone or email requesting your User ID or Password.  If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately. 

If you disclose your Password to anyone, and/or if you allow someone to use your Password to access your accounts, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf and you will be responsible for any use of the system by them (e.g., such as when you provide this information to a joint account holder, spouse, and/or an aggregation service provider). 

Log-On Security - For your protection, you should sign-off after every Online Banking session.  However, in order to help prevent unauthorized access to your account(s), your online session will end automatically if we detect no activity for 10 minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your Password, and your session will continue where you left off.  In addition, we will deactivate your account after three unsuccessful log-in attempts within a 24-hour time frame.

Encryption – The Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology for everything you do while using Online Banking.  Your browser   automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Service.  Our Service requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption. The Service will warn you if your browser does not meet this requirement.

Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from “open” to “locked”. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.

Certificate Authority - The servers hosting our Service have been certified by a "Certificate Authority" to assure you that you are actually talking to our Service instead of someone pretending to be us. If you are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 4.0 on Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see that the "Certificate Authorities" key may have expired; you will need to update it on your browser. Links to upgrade your browser are located on the Service log-in page and on the Information Desk of the credit union’s web site at tyndall.org.

Cookies - During your use of the Service, our Online Banking Service Provider will pass an encrypted cookie to your computer in order to identify your computer during the session.  This cookie enables us to process multiple transactions during the session without having to provide a User ID and Password for each individual transaction.  Users must accept this cookie to use our Online Banking product.  This cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides another level of security for our Online Banking product.  The cookie is stored on your computer’s hard-drive, identifying your computer while you are logged on.  When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your machine, the cookie will be destroyed.  A new cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account.

Use of Public Computers – The security of public computers (e.g. in a Library, or Internet café) cannot be assured; therefore we strongly recommend that our customers refrain from accessing online accounts on a public computer. If you must do so, please do not leave the computer unattended and be sure to clear the computer’s Internet options after you log off.

In addition to the security features described above, there may be other security related notices posted on our website or Service from time to time. It is your responsibility to read all security notices.

NOTWITHSTANDING OUR EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVICE IS SECURE, WE CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ALL DATA TRANSFERS VIA THE SERVICE WILL BE FREE FROM MONITORING OR ACCESS BY OTHERS.

19.       Password and Security
When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement below, you agree not to give or make available your Password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individuals.  You are responsible for all transfers and bill payments you authorize using the Service.  If you permit other persons to use the Service or your Password or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize.
