DEPOSIT ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Effective January 2008
RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING
DEPOSIT
ACCOUNTS
The Rules and
Regulations Regarding Deposit Accounts (the
“Agreement”) govern the deposit relationship
between you and Cole Taylor Bank (“Cole
Taylor”). This Agreement is governed by laws of
the State of Illinois (unless such laws are
specifically preempted by federal law) other
applicable laws, which include the Illinois
Uniform Commercial Code, clearing house rules,
and the operating letters of the various Federal
Reserve Banks. If any terms of this Agreement
come into conflict with any applicable law,
those terms will be nullified to the extent that
they are inconsistent with the law, and the
applicable law will govern. If any provision of
this Agreement is declared to be invalid,
unenforceable or illegal, that part will not
affect the validity of the other provisions.
For purposes of this Agreement, the words “you”
and “your” mean each account owner and anyone
else with authority to deposit, withdraw, or
exercise control over your account. If there is
more than one owner, these words mean each
account owner separately, and all account owners
jointly. The words “we” “us” or “our” refer to
Cole Taylor.
When you sign our Account Agreement and
Signature Verification Card you acknowledge
receipt of this Agreement and agree to be bound
by the terms and conditions contained herein.
This Agreement is a legally binding contract, so
please read and retain it so that you can refer
to it whenever you have questions regarding your
account. Each separate account you establish
with us may be subject to additional terms and
conditions, evidenced by a separate agreement
applicable to that account.
If you have further questions about your account
or any of the products and services we offer
after your review of this Agreement, please
contact our Customer Service Center. Oral
statements made by any employee of Cole Taylor
will not alter or modify this Agreement.
You agree that if you have a business (i.e., a
corporate, partnership, limited liability
company or any other legal entity) account with
us, all controversies, disputes or claims
arising out of or related to this Agreement,
including without limitation controversies
regarding the validity of this Agreement and any
compulsory counterclaims (as defined by Rule 13
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), but,
excluding collections of amounts due to us, will
be submitted for binding arbitration to the
Chicago, Illinois office of the American
Arbitration Association on demand by you or Cole
Taylor. Such arbitration proceeding will be
conducted in Chicago, Illinois, and will be
heard by one arbitrator in accordance with the
then-current rules of the American Arbitration
Association. All matters relating to arbitration
will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
(9 U.S.C. section 1, et seq.) and not by any
state arbitration law. The decision and award of
the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive
upon both you and Cole Taylor, and enforceable
in any court of competent jurisdiction. The
arbitrator will have the right to award or
include in the award any lawfully appropriate
relief and to assess costs or expenses to either
you or Cole Taylor, or both. The provisions of
this section will continue in full force and
effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the
termination of this Agreement. You and Cole
Taylor hereby expressly agree to waive any right
to a trial by jury in connection with any
controversies, disputes or claims arising out of
or related to this Agreement.
Account Agreement
We require identification and taxpayer
information in order to open an account. To help
the government fight the funding of terrorism
and money laundering activities, Federal law
requires financial institutions to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies
each person who opens an account. This means
that, when you open an account, we will ask you
for your name, address, date of birth, taxpayer
identification number, and other information
that will allow us to identify you. We may also
ask to see your current and valid driver’s
license or other identifying documents. We may
also independently verify your identity through
the comparison of identifying information you
have provided with information we obtain from a
consumer reporting agency, public database or
other source. Accordingly, you agree to provide
true, accurate, and complete information on all
forms required by us and agree to inform us in
writing if there is a change to such
information.
In order to comply with various federal and
state laws regarding the privacy and security of
your account information and for your
protection, we may ask you to verify your
identity by asking you to provide specific
account or other information before allowing any
transactions to occur on your account.
You agree that we may procure an investigative
report including information as to the credit
worthiness, character, and general reputation,
whichever are applicable, of any person or
entity for which the account is established.
In our sole discretion, we may refuse to open
any account, refuse to accept additional
deposits into an account, and terminate
check-writing privileges.
We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement
and close your account for any reason, unless
prohibited from doing so by applicable law. This
Agreement will continue to govern any closed
account.
- You shall notify us in writing of any change
in the information you supplied to us at the
time of the establishment of your account.
- In receiving and handling items for deposit
or collection (including items received in
payment of collections), we act only as your
collecting agent and assume no responsibility
beyond the exercise of due care. Certain items
are credited or cashed subject to final payment
in cash or solvent credits. We will not be
liable for default or negligence of our
correspondents, nor for losses in transit, and
each correspondent shall be liable for its own
negligence. It is optional, but not obligatory,
to require certification in any case. Cole
Taylor or our correspondents may, as your agent,
send items directly or indirectly, to any bank
or to any drawee, acceptor, or payor, and accept
draft, check, or credit as conditional payment
in lieu of cash. Our liability for deposits made
by U.S. Mail or in outside depositories will be
delayed until the deposits are recorded by us.
- The funds you deposit to your account are
subject to normal collection processes even
after we make the funds available to you for
withdrawal (i.e., the check “cleared”). If we do
not collect the funds or we need to return the
funds, your deposit will be reversed and become
your responsibility.
- We may present any item for collection to any
Federal Reserve Bank and such items shall be
subject to the rules and regulations of such
Federal Reserve Bank or the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System now in force or
hereafter promulgated.
- As part of our business practice, including
the opening and maintenance of your account, you
agree and provide us authorization to allow us
to review from time to time your credit report
from a consumer-reporting agency or review
information from a public database or any other
source.
- If we determine that your actions or the
actions of those also on your account are
unsatisfactory, we may report information about
you and any joint account holder to a
consumer-reporting agency and or any other
source, as allowed by applicable law. If you
disagree with the information provided by us,
please contact our Customer Service Center which
will process your complaint. Such complaint will
be answered by us in writing.
- If you are the victim of identity theft, and
such theft includes the assets of any account
you maintain with us, please immediately contact
our Customer Service Center which will, as soon
as practicable, place you in contact with our
Investigations Department.
- As part of our business practice, we may record
our conversations with you. Unless required by
applicable law, we may not remind you that such
conversations are being recorded.
- You agree that we may comply with any state
or federal legal process, including without
limitation, any garnishment, tax levy, subpoena
or other similar proceeding related to your
account. You agree that we may comply with such
process even if the legal process affects the
interest of only one owner of a joint account.
When we are served with legal process regarding
your account, we may refuse to permit
withdrawals or transfers from your account and
we may remove funds from your account and
maintain them in a separate account until such
legal process is satisfied or dismissed, even if
such actions results in insufficient funds to
pay any obligation you have incurred. We charge
fees for responding to legal process involving
your account. The fees are listed in our Fee
Schedule, defined later in this Agreement. You
agree to release and indemnify, defend and hold
us harmless from all actions, claims,
liabilities, losses, costs and damages,
including without limitation, expenses, court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated
with our compliance with any legal process. You
agree that you shall not be entitled to receive
interest on any funds we hold or maintain in a
separate account in connection with or response
to legal process. To the extent that any deposit
accounts are entitled to exemption from legal
process you agree to waive such exemption.
Exempt deposits include without limitation, any
social security, supplemental security income,
veterans or other federal or state benefits.
- We may, on occasion, restrict access to your
deposits, such as when you initially deposit
funds to open an account. Please see our Funds
Availability Disclosure, provided later in this
Agreement, for further details.
- If we receive notice of an actual or
potential adverse claim to your account or the
funds in your account, we may in our sole
discretion, refuse to pay out any money from
your account for a reasonable period after
receipt of notice of the actual or potential
claims. Although we reserve our right to pay out
any money from your account if it has received
notice of an actual or potential claim, we are
not required to recognize any adverse claim
unless (i) the claimant provides us with an
acceptable bond indemnifying us against all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses, allocated in-house attorney fees and
reasonable attorneys’ fees that might be
incurred by us in connection with payment of the
adverse claim and any dishonored checks or other
items, (ii) the claimant has obtained an order
from a court of competent jurisdiction in a case
in which you are made a party and served with a
summons, or (iii) you act as a fiduciary for the
claimant and the claimant gives us an affidavit
setting forth the nature of your fiduciary
relationship and the facts upon which the
claimant has reasonable cause to believe that
you are about to misappropriate funds.
- You agree to be liable to us for any loss,
costs or expenses, allocated in-house attorney
fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the
extent permitted by law that we incur as a
result of any dispute involving your account.
You authorize us to deduct any such loss, costs
or expenses, allocated in-house attorney fees
and reasonable attorneys’ fees from your account
without prior notice to you. This obligation
includes disputes between you and Cole Taylor
involving your account and situations where we
become involved in disputes between you and an
authorized signor, another joint owner, or a
third party takes action with respect to the
account that causes us, in good faith, to seek
the advise of counsel, whether or not we
actually become involved in a dispute.
- We endeavor to forward items payable on the
day of receipt, but it is understood that items
need not be forwarded until the following
business day.
- If you ever owe us money as a borrower,
guarantor or otherwise, and it becomes due, we
have the right under law (called “setoff”) and
under this Agreement, you agree to grant us a
security interest in your deposit account and
authorize us to use the money from your account
to pay the debt. We may use the money to pay the
debt even if such a withdrawal results in an
interest penalty or dishonor of checks or any
other obligation that you have incurred. In the
case of a partnership or a joint account, each
partner or joint account holder agrees that we
may use the money in their individual accounts
to satisfy obligations of the joint account or
partnership account. You agree that the security
interest granted by this Agreement is consensual
and is in addition to our right of setoff.
However, the right of setoff and security
interest may not apply to your account if (i) it
is an IRA or a tax-deferred Keogh Retirement
Account; (ii) the debt is created by a consumer
credit transaction under a credit card plan; or
(iii) the debtor’s right of withdrawal arises
only in a representative capacity.
- We reserve our right to refuse certain
deposits, including checks with multiple payees
or endorsements, third party checks or double
endorsed government checks and checks which we
believe, in our sole discretion, to be
uncollectible.
- We shall have no duty to pay any items,
including checks, which would overdraw your
account, regardless of the frequency in which we
may have done so in the past.
- If any account is established by two or more
individuals, it is agreed that all funds now or
hereafter deposited in that account, are and
shall be, the joint property and owned by you as
joint tenants with the right of survivorship and
not as tenants in common unless otherwise
clearly indicated by such individuals to the
contrary.
- We reserve the right to change the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement, which
may include adding or deleting certain terms and
conditions entirely or partially. We recommend
that you retain all notifications from us
describing any account changes. Changes that we
notify you of (either voluntarily or as required
by law) will be provided to the last address you
have provided to us in writing. Your continued
use of your account will be deemed as your
acceptance of such amended, modified or
supplemental terms, service fees and rules and
regulations for the account then in effect. If
any changes in this Agreement, the service fees
on any account, or the rules and regulations for
any account are unacceptable to you, your
exclusive remedy is to terminate your account.
- We are not liable for any circumstances
beyond our control, generally called an “Act of
God”. Such circumstances include, but are not
limited to, natural disasters; local, regional
or national emergencies; legal inability to take
anticipated action; and the loss of equipment to
process transactions or account data for any
reason.
- Our delay in enforcing our rights under this
Agreement shall not prevent us from enforcing
those rights at a later date. A waiver of any
provision of this Agreement by us applies only
to the specific facts and circumstances related
to such waiver and shall have no effect on
future situations and in no way represent a
course of dealing or modification of this
Agreement between you and Cole Taylor.
- You agree that you shall release and
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cole Taylor,
its parent, and its respective employees,
agents, officers and directors (collectively,
the “Indemnitees”) from and against all claims,
demands, liabilities, judgments and costs
(including expenses, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees ) that may be made, asserted, or
entered against or incurred by the Indemnitees,
which in any way arise from, are incident to,
grow out of or are connected with your request
that we undertake and complete certain currency
and/or coin counting services under the terms of
this Agreement, whether such claims, demands,
liabilities, judgments and costs are based upon
negligence, strict liability in tort, breach of
statutory duty, breach of any obligation arising
under this Agreement or breach of warranty.
Duty to Examine Your Statement.
Statements are made available to you by mail (or
any other method we offer and that you
authorize) at the last address you have provided
to us in writing. You should carefully examine
the statement and images of cancelled checks
when you receive them. If you feel that there is
an error on the statement, images of cancelled
checks, or that some unauthorized person has
withdrawn funds from your account, you should
notify us immediately. You agree that you are in
the best position to discover any unauthorized
transactions, which include forged or missing
signatures and any error, material alteration,
or counterfeit check. You agree that we will not
be liable for paying such items if (i) you did
not exercise reasonable care in examining your
statement and images of cancelled checks or you
have not reported unauthorized signatures or
alterations to us within thirty (30) calendar
days of the mailing of the earliest statement
containing these items, or (ii) these items were
drawn without authority or altered so cleverly
(as by unauthorized use of a facsimile machine
or otherwise) that the lack of authorization or
alteration could not be detected by a reasonable
person and you were negligent in some manner. If
you have elected not to receive copies of images
of cancelled checks in your statements, the
images of cancelled checks or legible copies
will be made available to you within a
reasonable time after your written request is
received by us that sufficiently identifies the
checks requested. You agree that you will pay
any service fee which we may require for the
retrieval and copying of the requested checks.
Please refer to our Electronic Fund Transfer
Disclosure and our Substitute Checks and Your
Rights, contained herein, for any consumer,
(i.e., an account established for personal,
household or family use) electronic banking
transaction.
Remotely Created Checks
Like any standard check or draft, a remotely
created check (sometimes called a telecheck,
preauthorized draft or demand draft) is a check
or draft that can be used to withdraw money from
an account. Unlike a typical check or draft,
however, a remotely created check is not issued
by the paying bank and does not contain the
signature of the account owner (or a signature
purported to be the signature of the account
owner). In place of a signature, the check
usually has a statement that the owner
authorized the check or has the owner’s name
typed or printed on the signature line. For
example, if a person provides an account number
in response to a telephone solicitation, the
telephone solicitor can use the account to issue
a remotely created check to withdraw money from
that account.
You warrant and agree to the following for every
remotely created check we receive from you for
deposit or collection: (1) you have received
express and verifiable authorization to create
the check in the amount and to the payee that
appears on the check; (2) you will maintain
proof of the authorization for at least 2 years
from the date of authorization, and supply us
the proof if we ask; and (3) if a check is
returned, you owe us the amount of the check,
regardless of when the check is returned. We may
take funds from your account to pay the amount
you owe us, and if there are insufficient funds
in your account, you still owe us the remaining
balance.
Account Disclosures
Checking Accounts
A checking account is a non-interest bearing
account from which collected funds on deposit
may be withdrawn at any time and without any
prior notice (on demand) by a properly completed
negotiable instrument called a check. You have
unlimited check writing privileges. Statements
will be issued monthly for all checking
accounts. All transactions for the month will be
indicated on the statement. The account will
consist of two sub accounts: a transaction
account and a savings account. At various times
during a statement cycle we may transfer funds
between the sub accounts. In the event of the
sixth transfer from the savings account to the
transaction account in a statement period, the
entire account balance would be transferred to
the transaction account for the remainder of the
statement period. This sub account activity will
not appear on your monthly statement and will
not affect your account usage in any way.
Interest Checking and Money Market Accounts
Interest checking accounts (“NOW Accounts”) and
money market accounts are interest-bearing
accounts from which you can withdraw collected
funds by means of a properly completed
instrument called a negotiable order of
withdrawal. While a negotiable order of
withdrawal is similar to a check, we reserve the
right to require seven (7) calendar days prior
notice before paying a negotiable order of
withdrawal or before permitting any other form
of withdrawal. We use the daily-balance method
to calculate the interest on your account. This
method applies a daily periodic rate to the
collected principal balance in the account each
day. Interest is compounded monthly and begins
to accrue on the business day the account is
opened, provided funds are collected. Interest
is payable on your statement cycle date and will
be credited to your account on that date. If
your account is closed prior to the end of the
statement cycle, you will not receive the
accrued interest for that period. The account
will consist of two sub accounts: a transaction
account and a savings account. At various times
during a statement cycle we may transfer funds
between the sub accounts. In the event of the
sixth transfer from the savings account to the
transaction account in a statement period, the
entire account balance would be transferred to
the transaction account for the remainder of the
statement period. This sub account activity will
not appear on your monthly statement and will
not affect your account usage in any way.
Interest Checking Accounts
The interest rate and annual percentage yield
earned on your interest checking account may
vary and will be subject to change at any time
by us in our sole discretion. Further, the
amount of any rate change will be within our
sole discretion. Interest will not be paid for
any day your collected balance is under the
stated minimum to earn interest. The monthly
maintenance fee may be waived if you maintain
the required minimum balance. There is no limit
on the number of withdrawals you may make.
Federal law prohibits entities organized for
profit, including corporations, partnerships and
limited liability companies, from holding NOW
Accounts. If we determine that you are not
eligible under Federal law to own NOW Accounts,
we reserve our right to close the account or
convert it to a non-interest bearing account
without prior notice.
Money Market Accounts
The interest rate and annual percentage yield
earned on your money market account may vary and
will be subject to change at any time in our
sole discretion. Further, the amount of any rate
change will be within our sole discretion.
Interest will not be paid for any day your
collected balance is under the stated minimum to
earn interest. The monthly maintenance fee will
be waived if you maintain the required minimum
balance. You may make unlimited deposits and
withdrawals, in-person, by mail or at an
Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”). Federal
regulation permits you a maximum of six (6)
preauthorized or automatic transfers or
withdrawals per statement cycle. Electronic
Funds Transfers, defined later in this
Agreement, computer terminal transactions and
telephone transactions are considered
preauthorized transfers. No more than three (3)
checks, drafts or point of sale (“POS”)
withdrawals may post to your account each
statement period. A charge may be assessed for
each transfer or withdrawal that exceeds these
restrictions, refer to the Fee Schedule, defined
later in this Agreement, detailing such charges.
Federal regulation requires us to stop paying
interest on your account or to close it if you
repeatedly violate these limitations.
Collected Balance
Because checks and other non-cash items
deposited must be presented for payment to the
bank on which they are drawn, we cannot give
immediate credit for these deposits. An item is
considered collected when it has been finally
paid by the bank on which it is drawn. Any
items, other than cash, accepted for deposit
will be given provisional credit only until
collection is final.
Stopping Payment on a Check
You and any person who is authorized to draw
checks on your account have the right to stop
payment on any check drawn on the account that
has not been paid or certified. Our check
processing systems are highly automated and
precise; therefore, we require the following
information in order to process your stop
payment order. We require correct and complete
information which includes the exact amount of
the check, check number, name of the payee, date
of the check and the full account number. If any
of this information provided by you is not
correct and complete, we will be unable to
process your stop payment order. You agree that
we will not be liable to you for not following a
stop payment order if the information you give
us is not correct or complete. An oral stop
payment order lapses after fourteen (14)
calendar days unless you confirm it in writing
within that time period. Stop payment orders do
not renew automatically and expire after six (6)
months unless you renew it in writing.
You agree that if you generate a check by
computer or in any other manner that does not
produce magnetic ink character recognition
(MICR) encoded check number on the check; we can
not guarantee that your stop order will be
honored.
You agree that if you request a stop payment on
any check which is subsequently reconverted to
an automated clearing house debit, we can not
guarantee that your stop will be honored.
Postdated and Stale Dated Checks
We reserve the right to pay any postdated or
stale dated item when presented, despite any
notice that you may send to us. You agree that
we will not be liable to you for paying any
postdated or stale dated check.
Check Legends
We are not required to honor any memos or
legends you write on your check. An example of a
legend or memo would be, “must be presented in
within 90 days” or “not valid for more than
$50.00”.
Order of Payment
We reserve the right to pay, including without
limitation, checks, automated clearing house
debits, ATM withdrawals, funds transfers, fees
and charges due us or other items drawn on your
account in any order that we determine, in our
sole discretion, even if paying a particular
check or item results in more fee income to us
or an insufficient available balance in your
account to pay one or more other items that
otherwise could have been paid. Generally,
although not obligated to do so, we pay any of
the items listed above from the highest dollar
amount to the lowest dollar amount.
Returned Deposits
If a check or other negotiable instrument is for
less than $100.00 and is returned for
non-sufficient funds by the paying institution,
we will redeposit the check a second time. The
only exception to this policy is where a
customer has given us prior written special
instructions in this event. All other checks or
negotiable instruments returned unpaid are
charged back to the account where they were
deposited.
Savings Accounts
A savings account is an interest bearing
depository account from which collected funds
can be withdrawn by presenting a properly
completed withdrawal form to one of our tellers
or for statement savings only, through an ATM
transaction. The interest rate and annual
percentage yield earned on your savings account
may vary and will be subject to change at any
time at our sole discretion. Further, the amount
of any rate change will be within our sole
discretion. We use the daily balance method to
calculate the interest of your account. This
method applies a daily periodic rate to the
ledger balance in the account each day. Interest
begins to accrue on the business day the account
is opened. Interest will be compounded monthly
and credited to your account on a quarterly
basis. If your account is closed prior to your
next interest payment date, you will not receive
the accrued interest for that period.
Withdrawals are payable only to you. We allow
withdrawals from your savings account at any
time; however, we reserve the right to require
seven (7) calendar days prior written notice
before permitting any withdrawals. If we require
a notice of withdrawal from one savings account,
we will require it for all other savings
accounts of that type. You may make unlimited
deposits or withdrawals in-person, by mail or at
an ATM. Federal regulation permits you a maximum
of six (6) preauthorized or automatic or
telephone transfers or withdrawals (including
online banking transactions, as applicable) per
statement cycle or calendar month for passbook
accounts. Electronic Funds Transfer, defined
later in this Agreement, computer terminal
transactions and telephone transactions are
considered preauthorized transfers. A fee may be
assessed for withdrawals or transfers that
exceed these restrictions refer to the Fee
Schedule, defined later in this Agreement,
detailing such fees. Federal regulation requires
us to stop paying interest on your account or to
close it if you repeatedly violate these
limitations. If you maintain the required
minimum balance, the maintenance fee may be
waived.
ATM transactions are permitted on statement
savings accounts. The statements are issued, at
a minimum, on a quarterly basis.
Inactive Accounts
Your interest checking, money market, or savings
account will be considered inactive and subject
to an inactivity fee, if for a specified period
of time, you do not originate any transactions.
Please refer to the Fee Schedule, defined later
in this Agreement, for details on time periods,
balance requirements and applicable fees.
Escheat Accounts
Defined by state law, the balance in an account
is presumed to be abandoned if there is no
activity for five (5) years, and if we cannot
locate you. We are required by law to remit the
balance in such accounts to the State of
Illinois. The account will be assessed a service
fee prior to remittance to the State of
Illinois. Please refer to the Fee Schedule,
defined later in this Agreement, for applicable
service fees.
Closing an Account
You may close your account with us at any time.
If your account has a zero balance for two
consecutive statement cycles, we may consider it
to be closed.
Pledged Deposit Account
If your deposit account has been pledged as
collateral to secure a loan with us, you cannot
make any withdrawals from the deposit account.
Additionally, ATM transactions are not
permitted. These limitations will continue until
the loan is paid in full.
Transferability
Your account may not be pledged, assigned, or
used as collateral security for a loan with any
lender other than us, unless we agree to the
transfer in writing. Accounts are not negotiable
or transferable to third parties without our
prior written consent.
Personal Banking Service Fees, Initial and
Minimum Deposit Requirements and Other Account
Requirements
The various personal banking fees and
requirements for initial deposits, minimum
balances, and other account requirements are
shown in the “fee schedule” or “fee schedules”
(the “fee schedule” and “fee schedules” are
collectively referred to herein as “Fee
Schedule”), which are separate documents given
to you at the time you opened your account. For
consumer accounts (i.e., those for personal,
household, or family use), we will mail you
written notice of any increase in these fees, or
any new fees, at least thirty (30) calendar days
prior to assessing the fee. You agree to pay
fees in connection with your account in
accordance with the
Fee Schedule in effect from time to time. You
also agree that we may deduct the fees owed from
your account. We reserve the right, in our sole
discretion, to waive any fees.
Funds Availability Disclosure
THE EXPEDITED FUNDS AVAILABILITY ACT AND
REGULATION CC OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
REQUIRE ALL BANKS TO NOTIFY DEPOSITORS OF THEIR
FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICIES. THIS DISCLOSURE
STATEMENT IS DELIVERED TO YOU IN COMPLIANCE WITH
REGULATION CC AND PRESENTS OUR FUNDS
AVAILABILITY POLICIES.
Your Ability to Withdraw Funds at Cole Taylor
Our policy is to delay the availability of some
funds that you deposit in your account. During
the delay, you may not withdraw the funds in
cash and we will not use the funds to pay checks
that you have written. The availability of
deposited funds depends on the type of deposit

deposit at any of our office facilities on a
business day that we are open, we will consider
that day to be the day of deposit. If you make a
deposit on Saturday, Sunday or a federal
holiday, we will consider that the deposit was
made on the next business day we are open. If
you make a deposit at one of our night
depositories, we will consider the deposit was
made on the business day it is removed from the
night depository. Also, if your deposit arrives
at Cole Taylor by armored car, mail, or
messenger after 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time
(“CST”) on any business day that we are open, we
will consider that your deposit was made on the
next business day we are open.
Same Business Day Availability
Funds from the following deposits will be made
available on the business day of the deposit:
- Cash deposits made in person to one of our
employees.
- Funds from electronic direct deposits,
including pre-authorized credits, such as Social
Security benefits and payroll payments, and wire
transfers will be available on the business day
we receive the deposit.
Next Business Day Availability
Funds from the following deposits may be
available on the first business day following
the business day of your deposits:
- Checks drawn on Cole Taylor.
- U.S. Treasury checks that are payable to you.
- Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan
Bank checks payable to you.
- U.S. Postal Service Money Orders payable to
you.

requested from the teller at the time of
deposit).
Other Check Deposits
The delay for other check deposits depends on
whether the check is a local or non-local check.
If the first four digits of the nine digit
routing number appearing at the bottom of the
check are 0710, 0711, 0712, 0719, 0750, 0759,
2710, 2711, 2712, 2719, 2750, 2759 then the
checks are local; all other checks are
non-local. Some checks are marked “payable
through” and have a four or nine digit number
nearby. For these checks, use the four-digit
number (or the first four digits of the
nine-digit number) not the routing number on the
bottom of the check, to determine if these
checks are local or non-local. Our policy is to
make funds from local and non-local checks
available as follows:
- Local checks – The funds from local checks
will be available on the first business day
after the business day of your deposit.
- Non-local checks – The first $100 dollars of
the aggregate of all non-local checks deposited
on a certain business day will be available on
the first business day after the business day of
deposit, with the remaining funds available the
second business day. For example, if you deposit
non-local checks totaling $400 on Monday, the
first $100 of such deposit will be available on
Tuesday and the remaining $300 will be available
on Wednesday.
Longer Delays May Apply
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a
longer period under the following circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be
paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000
on any one day.
- You redeposit a check that has been returned
unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in
the last six months.
- There is an emergency, such as a failure of
communication or computer equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to
withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we
will tell you when the funds will be available.
They will generally be available no later than
the ninth business day after the day of your
deposit. If you deposit both categories of
checks, $100 from the checks will be available
on the first business day after the day your
deposit, not $100 from each category of check.
Special Deposit Slips
Funds from the following deposits are available
on the first business day after the day of your
deposit and will not be subject to any
case-by-case hold if you use a special deposit
slip:
- State and local government checks that are
payable to you.
- Cashier’s, certified and teller’s checks that
are payable to you.
Special deposit slips are available at any
teller station.
Deposits at Automated Teller Machines
Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at
any ATM we do not own or operate may not be
available until the fifth business day after the
day of your deposit. This rule does not apply at
any ATM that we own or operate. Any ATM that we
own or operate is clearly marked with Cole
Taylor signage.
Funds from a deposit made at any of our ATMs are
available on the first business day after the
date of your deposit. If you make a deposit at
one of our ATMs before 2:00 p.m. CST on a
business day that we are open, we will consider
that day to be the day of your deposit. If you
make a deposit after 2:00 p.m. CST or on a
Saturday, Sunday, or a federal holiday, we will
consider that the deposit was made on the next
business day we are open.
Special Rules for New Accounts
If you are a new customer, the following special
rules will apply during the first thirty (30)
calendar days your account is open.
The first $5,000 from a deposit of U.S. Treasury
checks will be available on the first business
day after the day of your deposit. The excess
over $5,000 will be available no later than the
ninth business day after the day of your
deposit. Funds from wire transfers into your
account will be available on the first business
day after the day we receive the transfer. Funds
from the deposits of cash and the first $5,000
of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s,
certified, teller’s, traveler’s and state and
local government checks will be available on the
first business day after the day of your deposit
if the deposit meets certain conditions. For
example, the checks must be payable to you and
you may have to use a special deposit slip. The
excess of such deposits over $5,000 will be
available no later than the ninth business day
after the day of your deposit. Funds from all
other check deposits will generally be available
no later than the ninth business day after the
day of your deposit.
Holds on Other Funds When Cashing a Check
If we cash a check for you drawn on another
bank, we may withhold the availability of a
corresponding amount of funds that are already
in your account. Those funds will be available
at the time funds from the check we cashed would
have been available if you had deposited it.
Holds on Funds in Other Accounts
If we accept for deposit a check drawn on
another bank, we may make funds from the deposit
available for withdrawal immediately but delay
your availability to withdraw a corresponding
amount of funds that you have on deposit in
another account with us. The funds in the other
account would then not be available until the
expiration of the time periods that are
described elsewhere in this disclosure for the
type of check that you deposited.
Substitute Checks and Your Rights
What is a substitute check?
To make check processing faster, federal law
permits banks 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 checks. This notice
describes rights you have when you receive
substitute checks from us. The rights in this
notice do not apply to original checks or to
electronic debits to your account. However, you
have rights under other law with respect to
those transactions.
What are my rights regarding substitute checks?
In certain cases, federal law provides a special
procedure that allows you to request a refund
for losses you suffer if a substitute check is
posted to your account (for example, if you
think that we withdrew the wrong amount from
your account or that we withdrew money from your
account more than once for the same check). The
losses you may attempt to recover under this
procedure may include the amount that was
withdrawn from your account and fees that were
charged as a result of the withdrawal (for
example, bounced check fees).
The amount of your refund under this procedure
is limited to the amount of your loss or the
amount of the substitute check, whichever is
less. You also are entitled to interest on the
amount of your refund if your account is an
interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds
the amount of the substitute check, you may be
able to recover additional amounts under other
law.
If you use this procedure, you may receive up to
$2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your
account earns interest) within ten (10) business
days after we received your claim and the
remainder of your refund (plus interest if your
account earns interest) not later than
forty-five (45) calendar days after we received
your claim.
We may reverse the refund (including any
interest on the refund) if we later are able to
demonstrate that the substitute check was
correctly posted to your account.
How do I make a claim for a refund?
If you believe that you have suffered a loss
relating to a substitute check that you received
and that was posted to your account, please
contact our Customer Service Center at (847)
653-7978 within forty (40) calendar days of the
date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a
means to which you agreed) 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.
Your claim must include:
- A description of why you have suffered a loss
(for example, you think the amount withdrawn was
incorrect);
- An estimate of the amount of your loss;
- An explanation of why the substitute check you
received is insufficient to confirm that you
suffered a loss, and
- A copy of the substitute check [and/or] the
following information to help us identify the
substitute check: the check number, the name of
the person to whom you wrote the check, the
amount of the check.

lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you
did not make, including those made by Card/PIN
or other means, tell us at once. If you do not
tell us within sixty (60) calendar days after
the statement was mailed or made available to
you by any other method you have requested, you
may not get back any money you lost after the
sixty (60) calendar days if we can prove that we
could have stopped someone from taking the money
if you had told us in time. If a good reason
(such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept
you from telling us, we may, but are not
obligated to, extend the time periods.

Telephone Banking Terms and Conditions of Use
These terms and conditions of use govern your
use of our Telephone Banking system.
By signing our Account Agreement and Signature
Verification Card, you acknowledge receipt of
the Telephone Banking terms and conditions,
contained herein and agree that all telephone
access to or transfers between your deposit
account(s) (the “Designated Accounts”) or access
to loan accounts utilizing our automated
Telephone Banking shall be governed accordingly.
Transfers from any Designated Accounts are
limited by the availability of funds and the
other limitations on frequency of transfers
otherwise applicable to the account. Use of the
Telephone Banking does not change your account
relationship or any other agreements you may
have with us.
To access Telephone Banking, you will need a
Telephone Banking account number and a
confidential PIN. You acknowledge and agree to
accept all liability which can legally be
imposed on you for each use of your Telephone
Banking account number and PIN whether or not
authorized by you. You agree to notify us
immediately if you believe someone has obtained
access to Telephone Banking account number or
PIN without authorization. For assistance in
obtaining a Telephone Banking account number,
contact our Customer Service Center.
You authorize us to carry out instructions given
by you to us through Telephone Banking as if
those instructions were written orders bearing
your genuine signature.
You may use your Telephone Banking account
number and PIN to transfer funds between the
Designated Accounts. The transfer will occur on
the day you designate. We reserve our right not
to make transfers which would exceed the balance
of collected funds in the account. Transfers
initiated or scheduled on days which are not
business days or transfers initiated after 7:00
p.m. CST will be processed on the next business
day. You acknowledge and agree that we have no
responsibility or liability for any damages,
expenses, fees or liabilities which may occur as
a result of any failure or delay on the part of
us, except as may be imposed by applicable law.
You further acknowledge and agree that we have
no responsibility or liability for any act or
omission beyond that which is imposed on us by
applicable law.
You agree to be responsible for any applicable
fees as specified in the Fee Schedule or
amendments to the Fee Schedule thereto as may be
made from time to time by us.
You may cancel any instructions which are given
to us through our Telephone Banking by the
Customer Service Center at (847) 653-7978 prior
to 4:00 p.m. CST on the day the instructions are
to be carried out by us.
You agree that if any of the Designated Accounts
are money market or statement savings accounts,
Federal regulations permit a maximum of six (6)
pre-authorized or automatic transfers from such
accounts per statement cycle, of which no more
than three (3) transfers may be by third-party
checks. Telephone transfers are considered
preauthorized transfers. If you repeatedly
violate these limitations, Federal regulation
requires us to stop paying interest on these
accounts or to close them.
You acknowledge and agree that we may add or
discontinue services, make other changes or
terminate your Telephone Banking.
