Subject to the terms herein, you may use the Service seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day, except during any scheduled or unscheduled interruptions in the Service for maintenance, security, or other reasons.
However, if you are a joint owner and you wish to access account statements, the primary owner must designate you as an authorized user for Online Banking, with permission to access statements. Authorized users have access to the primary owner’s Online Banking, subject to the conditions in the paragraph “Authorized User” below. 3. Authorized User
You may elect to authorize Online Banking access only for any number of authorized users, in addition to yourself. A separate application and agreement must be signed for each authorized user. If you desire an authorized user to have access to your account via Online Banking, you must sign the Mobile Banking, Online Banking, and Bill Pay Application and Agreement as the Member, and the other person must sign the application as the authorized user. At the time you add an authorized user, the authorized user will by default have access to all existing and future accounts held in your name, except those where you are designated as the joint owner, co-signer (guarantor), or co-borrower. 4
Your authorized user will have authority to perform the following functions through Online Banking:

You can manage your authorized user’s privileges via the “Settings” link in Online Banking. This will allow you to provide access for your authorized user(s) to certain accounts and Services as you deem necessary.
Note that, while your authorized user may access your lines of credit, you remain solely responsible for repayment if any credit is extended. Authorizing Online Banking for an authorized user will make you financially liable for all unauthorized access, losses, or misuse of your accounts until reported to Navy Federal. 4. Verification of Identification
To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account, including joint owners and authorized users. When you open an account or become an authorized user, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. 5. Eligibility of Minors

There is no limit on the number of transfers in or out of your account that you can make per day.
There are minimum and maximum total dollar transfer limits associated with transferring funds to/from another financial institution via the ACH when the transfer is originated from Navy Federal.
Transfers from a Navy Federal checking account to a checking account at another financial institution may be requested for a minimum of $5.00 to a maximum of
$5,000 per Business Day. However, the total aggregate amount of all checking transfers within any five-Business-Day period cannot exceed $15,000.

Aggregate amounts apply to all accounts that you own individually or that you have joint ownership of, and are based on the effective transfer date(s). If you attempt to schedule a transfer or payment that would exceed these limits, an online message will let you know the effective transfer date(s) that have exceeded these limits. These transfer limits can also be found within Online Banking by clicking on the
“Help” function, and then on “External Transfers” under the “Categories” column. For security reasons, Navy Federal may impose further limitations on the dollar amounts of transfers initiated at Navy Federal.
10. Your Liability for Unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfers Notify us AT ONCE if you believe:
• your account may have been accessed without your authority;
• your card, code, or password has been lost or stolen;
• someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission; or
• an electronic funds transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check or your MMSA check. The best way to minimize your possible loss is to telephone or contact us through our eMessage system at navyfederal.org, although you may advise us in person or in writing. If you do not notify us, you could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum line of credit amount).
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 discover 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.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make or authorize, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was delivered to you of any unauthorized or fraudulent use of your account, you may not get back any of the money you lost after the sixty (60) 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) prevented you from telling us, we may in our sole discretion extend the time periods. Telephone Numbers and Address to notify us of unauthorized account access or activity, lost or stolen credentials, or an unauthorized Bill Pay transaction:
• Call 24 hours a day toll-free: 1-888-***-****
• If in metro Washington, DC or outside the United States, call 703-***-****
• Write us at: Navy Federal Credit Union (EFT), P.O. Box 3001, Merrifield, VA 22119-3001
• Send us an electronic message through our eMessaging system at navyfederal.org
11. In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers If you think your statement or receipt is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction listed on your statement or receipt, contact us as soon as possible:
• Call us 24 hours a day at our toll-free number: 1-888-***-****
• If overseas, visit navyfederal.org or use 1-703-***-**** for collect international calls
• Write us at: Navy Federal Credit Union (EFT), P.O. Box 3001, Merrifield, VA 22119-3001
We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. When you contact us:
• tell us your name and account number;
• describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about and clearly explain why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
• tell us the dollar amount and date of the suspected error. 7 8
These are our procedures for resolving errors:
• If you tell us orally, we may require that you send your complaint in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your oral notification.
• We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days
(twenty (20) Business Days for new accounts) after you notify us of the error 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. For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) Business Days (twenty (20) Business Days for new accounts) 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. A provisional credit is a temporary credit adjustment made to your account during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.
• 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 remove the provisional credit from your account.
• If it is determined that there was no error, we will reverse any provisional credits within one (1) Business Day of finishing our investigation, and send you a written explanation within three (3) Business Days. If there are insufficient funds in your account to cover the amount of the provisional credit, the account will be overdrawn, and you will be responsible for payment. You may ask for copies of documents used in our investigation.
12. Protecting Your Password and Ensuring the Security of Your Device By applying for Mobile and Online Banking, you agree to accept responsibility for safeguarding and protecting your Password, Reset Question and Answer, Challenge Questions and Answers, or any other credentials used to access Mobile or Online Banking. If you believe your password or other credentials have been lost or stolen, or that someone may attempt to use your Mobile or Online Banking Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, notify us at once at the address or telephone numbers listed in paragraph 10, “Your Liability for Unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfers,” above.
You agree not to give or make available your password or credentials to any unauthorized individuals, and you agree to be responsible for all actions taken by anyone to whom you have provided such credentials or allowed to use your Mobile or Online Banking Service, including any Bill Pay transactions. In order to help prevent unauthorized transactions on Mobile and Online Banking, you also agree to ensure the security of the personal computer (PC) you own and/or use to access Online Banking, and of any mobile device you use to access Mobile Banking. By securing the PC you own and/or use, we specifically mean installing antivirus software, a firewall, and spyware detection software on your PC, and keeping this security software current, or verifying that the above security software has been installed and is current.
You also agree that Navy Federal may revoke Mobile or Online Banking if unauthorized Mobile or Online Banking occurs as a result of your negligence in safeguarding the Password, Reset Question and Answer, and Challenge Questions and Answers, or as a result of your negligence in ensuring the security of the PC you own and/or use to access the Navy Federal Online Banking Service, as described above, or of the mobile device used to access Mobile Banking.
13. Periodic Statements
You will receive a statement monthly unless your account(s) has/have not engaged in savings or checking account activity (no transactions) within 365 days. When there is no activity within 365 days, Navy Federal may choose to provide a statement on an annual basis.
14. Transaction Fees
Navy Federal does not charge for transfers initiated or account information viewed via Navy Federal Mobile or Online Banking, or for the Bill Pay Services, except for the optional “Rush Delivery” fee for expedited Bill Pay. However, message and data rates may apply. Visit navyfederal.org for more information. Please see the Schedule of Fees and Charges at navyfederal.org for fees charged for other transactions and optional services. Navy Federal reserves the right to charge for Mobile or Online Banking, including Bill Pay. You will be given at least twenty-one
(21) days advance notice before Navy Federal implements any new fees for Mobile or Online Banking, or Bill Pay.
15. Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers
Navy Federal will use reasonable efforts to complete all your transfers properly. If Navy Federal does
