Online Banking Agreement
This agreement states the terms and conditions that apply to your use of Online Banking services offered by AgCountry Farm Credit Services.
1. Agreement
"You" means the customer or user of the Services. "AgCountry" means AgCountry Farm Credit Services, FLCA, PCA, or ACA. "Online Banking" or "Services" means all the various services provided through this Web site (the "Site"), a mobile version of this website or through our Customer Service Center, which is a part of Online Banking. The Services provided through Online Banking may change from time to time, and Services may be added or removed. Your use of Online Banking is conditioned on your acceptance of all terms of this Online Banking Agreement. By clicking the "I Agree" button, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the contents of this Agreement, and that you agree to be legally bound by it.
2. Use
Each time you use Online Banking, your use constitutes your continuing agreement to use Online Banking according to this Agreement and to be legally bound by all its terms, as these terms are now or as they may change following your initial enrollment. You agree:
- To use Online Banking only for those accounts for which you have authorized access and use;
- To use Online Banking only in accord with this Agreement and applicable laws;
- To comply with any user requirements as they may be promulgated from time to time;
- To promptly pay all fees and charges that may apply to your use of Online Banking either now or in the future; and
- To remain bound by the terms and conditions of all your loan or lease legal documents, which shall not be changed by any Online Banking transaction or without the express written consent of AgCountry.
Certain special or custom loan products or services may not be available through Online Banking. If any transaction requiring prompt completion cannot be made or concluded through Online Banking or the Customer Service Center, you should contact your local AgCountry branch directly by telephone or in person during business hours.
The Services provided through Online Banking may include access to some services or service functions through the utilization of a mobile device and mobile software application ("Mobile Banking"). AgCountry may impose, at any time and without prior notice, different or additional requirements relating to your eligibility for and use of Mobile Banking. The information provided through Mobile Banking is for your convenience and does not replace your account statements or other account documents.
Mobile Banking may not include access to all of the services or service functions that are available through the Site. As a result, you may not be able to access or use all of the Services or service functions when you use Mobile Banking. The following Services or service functions currently are available through Mobile Banking: viewing your AgCountry account balances and transaction activity; and performing transfers between your AgCountry accounts or between your AgCountry accounts and accounts at other financial institutions. Services available through Mobile Banking are subject to change at any time. You must have a wireless, web-enabled cell phone or other device that is compatible with use of Mobile Banking. AgCountry’s identification of any particular devices for compatibility shall not be construed as a recommendation, endorsement or warranty of the performance of the device. You are solely responsible for the selection of a compatible device and all performance issues relating to the device, at your sole cost or expense.
Online Banking is provided as a privilege and convenience to AgCountry customers. AgCountry reserves the right to terminate the entire Online Banking program, including Mobile Banking, or access to any account at any time and without prior notice. AgCountry also reserves the right to terminate Online Banking access privileges for all accounts applicable to a customer number if any account under that customer number becomes delinquent, is declared to be in default, becomes subject to litigation or other court proceedings, is restructured, or is accessed in violation of applicable law or this Agreement. AgCountry will make a reasonable attempt to notify you if your Online Banking access is terminated for any reason but is under no obligation to do so.

6. Account Errors
If an error occurs in an Online Banking transaction, you must immediately contact AgCountry by e-mail or by secure messaging, or contact the Customer Service Center. If you discover an Online Banking transaction error as a result of reviewing your billing statement, you must notify AgCountry of suspected error within 60 days after you receive the first account billing statement on which that error appears.
To report an error, please provide the following information:
- Your name and account numbers;

- The dollar amount of the suspected error; and

You may request copies of the documents that we used in that investigation.
If we need more than 10 days to investigate your complaint or question, we may take up to 45 days. In this case, we will credit your account within 10 business days with the amount you think is in error. That way, you will have use of the money during our investigation. If you reported the suspected error through the Customer Service Center, and you do not confirm your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days after we request you to do so, we will not credit your account during the investigation.
