Fund Transfer Act.
By clicking the “I Agree” button below, you are affirming your consent to receive information
electronically, that you have the ability to receive and retain electronic communications, and that you
agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement. Connexus reserves the right to provide
information and notices about the Transfer service to you by non-electronic means.
Connexus reserves the right to refuse enrollment in the Transfer service to any member for any reason.
By accepting this agreement, I am authorizing Connexus to check my accounts and to obtain a credit
report to verify my eligibility for any accounts and services I request now or in the future.
Connexus Credit Union (“Connexus”) may, at your direction, from time to time initiate a transfer of
funds in your Connexus account(s) to an account you own at another financial institution or a transfer
from that account to your Connexus account.
Transfers through the Service that affect savings accounts are subject to the Federally mandated
limitations on withdrawals and transfer transactions described in the Account Information Booklet.
After every transfer is successfully initiated, a confirmation message appears and can be viewed in the
transfer history once the transfer is successfully processed. Documentation of transfers will be reflected
on periodic statements, as required by applicable rules.
Transfers between Connexus Accounts (“Internal Transfers”)
Internal Transfers refer to the transfers made from one of your Eligible Accounts to another Eligible
Account.
Internal transfers may be one-time, recurring, or scheduled for a future date. Transfers that are not
scheduled for a future-date occur immediately and cannot be cancelled.
If a recurring or future-dated internal transfer fails for a reason other than insufficient funds in your
Eligible Account from which the funds are being transferred, we may try again to complete it and you
may be notified of the failure and further transfer attempts. If the internal transfer fails due to
insufficient funds, you will not be notified.
Transfers between Connexus Accounts and other U.S. Financial Institutions (“Remote Transfers”)
Remote transfers refer to transfers made to/from your Third Party Accounts at another U.S. financial
institution and preauthorized debits and credits initiated by you. They are processed through the
Automated Clearing House (ACH) on Business Days and can take up to 3 (three) business days to
process. All requests must be made through Connexus’ Online system and are subject to the terms of
the Online & Mobile Banking Agreement and Disclosure, each as in effect from time to time, and

Remote Transfers Terms and Conditions
In order to initiate transfers to/from your accounts other U.S. financial institutions, you will be required
to provide account information for your Third Party Accounts, including, but not limited to, the financial
institution’s name, ABA/routing number, account type, and your account number(s).

agree to accept full responsibility for any losses resulting from any such errors.
Verification of Third Party Accounts
You may be required to provide proof of ownership of any Third Party Account to or from which you are
requesting a transfer of money. We may require you to demonstrate your ownership of a Third Party
Account by means of trial deposits. Trial deposits involve Connexus making two low value deposits
(usually less than $1.00) and one withdrawal from the external account. You are then required to report
certain details of such transactions to confirm your account ownership. Your funds are not used for the
trial deposits. You will be asked to confirm the amount of the trial deposits in order to verify proper
account setup. No remote transfer can occur without this verification. Connexus reserves the right to
require you to use other methods to prove your ownership of a Third Party Account.
You agree that we have the right to collect funds from any/all of your Connexus accounts, including the
available balance on your line-of-credit accounts or any of the overdraft services applicable to your
accounts, to provide the funds for any transfers that have been requested by you. This includes accounts
on which you are the primary owner, as well as accounts on which you are the joint owner.
We are not responsible for any holds on funds placed by other financial institutions.

I acknowledge and agree that Connexus is relying upon the information I provide in originating a Remote
Transfer on my behalf. Any errors in the information, including incorrect or inconsistent account names
and numbers or the ABA number or name of the financial institution holding my Verified Account are my

Account and describe it to Connexus by name and account number (or any other number), I understand
and agree that if Remote Transfer instructions identify a Verified Account by name and account number,
the relevant financial institution may execute those instructions by reference to the account number
only, even if such number does not correspond to the name. I understand that financial institutions
holding my Verified Accounts may not investigate discrepancies between names and numbers. In
addition, I agree that Connexus has no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between names and
account numbers.

right or access to use it and we will not access your Third Party Account thereafter for any reason.

other miscellaneous fees associated with any remote transfer. Refer to the Credit Union Fee Schedule
for a complete list of fees. Fees, if applicable, will be debited from your Connexus account at the time
the draw is made. You authorize us to deduct any/all fees at the time the transfer is initiated. If we are
