Online Banking Agreement
Online Banking Account Access Agreement

General
This Online Banking Agreement (Agreement) for accessing your TrustTexas Bank, SSB account(s) via the Internet explains the terms and conditions of online access. These terms and conditions govern the Online Banking Services offered through TrustTexas Bank, SSB. By clicking the "I Agree" button below, signing the Online Banking Account Access Application, or using the TrustTexas Bank, SSB Online Banking Service, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Each of your accounts are governed by their respective contracts, disclosures of account terms, borrowing agreements, notes, applicable fee schedules, and any other agreement evidencing the terms and conditions of your accounts (collectively, "Account Agreements".) If any provision of this agreement is in conflict with the Account Agreements, the Account Agreements shall prevail.

For purposes of this agreement, the terms "our", "we", "us", and "Bank" refer to TrustTexas Bank, SSB. The terms "you" and "your" refer to each owner or signer for the deposit or loan account(s) at TrustTexas Bank, SSB which will or are accessed through the Online Banking portion of TrustTexas Bank’s web site, whether they be for personal or business purposes.

Accessing Your Account and Fees for Service
To access your account(s) through the Online Banking Service, you must have an eligible TrustTexas Bank, SSB account, enroll in the Service, have a User ID and password, and obtain the Internet browser software that may be required by the Bank from time to time.

There are currently no separate monthly or transaction fees assessed by the Bank for use of the Online Banking Service. However, the fees associated with your accounts, as described in the Account Agreements will apply to services ordered online and to transfers from a credit account.

You may incur fees or charges from others for software, installation or services to provide you Internet access. You agree to be responsible for these charges and any telephone charges incurred, or any charges assessed by your Internet Service Provider for accessing your accounts through the Internet.

Balance Inquiries and Transfers
You may use the Online Banking Service to check the balance of your accounts and to transfer funds among your TrustTexas Bank, SSB electronic accounts. In order to initiate one of these transactions, you must first use your password to obtain access to the Service. The balance shown on your online account may include deposits still subject to verification by us. The balance shown also may differ from your records because it may not include deposits in progress, outstanding checks, or other withdrawals, or charges. A funds transfer request will not result in immediate funds availability because of the time required to process the files. The deadline for funds transfer requests is 2:00 P.M. Central Time for same bank business day availability. Any funds transfer request received after 2:00 P.M. Central Time may not be processed until the following bank business day. If there are insufficient available funds in an Account from which you are requesting a funds transfer, the transfer will not be initiated. For monetary transfers, the accounts must have the same password and must belong to the same "household" of accounts.

Protecting Your Account
By giving you online access to your account, you assume joint responsibility, with the Bank, for the protection of your account and personal information.  We will do the following to protect your account and personal information:

• Access to your account(s) online will require the use of a valid password selected by you.
• Access to the Online Banking portion of TrustTexas Bank web site requires the use of a web browser capable of supporting encryption of data transmitted between the computer you are using and our web site.
• If you are logged onto the Online Banking Service and no activity occurs for 10 minutes, you will be automatically logged off.
• We will adhere to the privacy principles detailed in our Privacy Statement, which is available online or at any of our banking locations.
• Details of any online transactions will appear on your next periodic statement.

As a TrustTexas Bank, SSB Online Banking user, you agree to do the following:

• The first time you use TrustTexas Bank’s Online Banking Service, you will be required to select a username and password.
• You will safeguard your password, as it is the access device to your account and information online. Our recommendations regarding care of your password appear below under the heading "Preventing Unauthorized Access to Your Account."
• You are authorizing TrustTexas Bank, SSB to act on instructions received under your password.
• Never leave your account information displayed where it is accessible to others.
• When your Online Banking session is complete, you will sign, or log, off of the system.

• You will examine your periodic statement promptly upon receipt and notify us immediately if there are any errors or unauthorized activity.

Preventing Unauthorized Access to Your Account
You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential. If you believe that your password has been compromised, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, notify us immediately.

Your password verifies your identity and provides access to your account. You must be actively involved in protecting your password. You can protect your password by doing the following:

• Your password should be kept confidential at all times. Never reveal your online password except to authorized persons because use of it may be attributed to and obligate you.
• Change your password frequently and whenever you feel that your password may have been compromised.
• Your password should be unique. Do not use your address, telephone number, birth dates, your ATM Personal Identification Number (PIN), or a PIN used for access to any other internet site as your TrustTexas Bank, SSB Online Banking password.  It is recommended that your password be at least 8 characters and contain letters, numbers, and special characters (for example @, #, %, *).
• Do not store your password on your computer.
• We recommend that you memorize your password and do not write it down. If you feel it necessary to write it down, do not write your password on any account documents or anywhere that it can be identified as the access number for the Online Banking Services.
• If you discover unauthorized activity or believe that someone may transfer money from your account without your permission or that someone has unauthorized knowledge of your password, you must notify us at once. Telephoning is your best way to notify us in order to limit losses. You can call us, during office hours, at (800) 342-0679, write us at TrustTexas Bank, SSB, or e-mail us at geninfo@TrustTexasBank.com.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers from Personal Accounts
If your Online Banking password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) bank business days after learning of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission to access a TrustTexas Bank, SSB account. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) bank business days after you learn of the loss or theft, and we could have stopped someone from taking money without your permission had you told us, you could lose as much as $500 of the disputed amount. (Bank business days are Monday through Friday, except federal or state holidays.)

If your monthly statement shows withdrawals, transfers or purchases that you did not make or authorize, you must notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the statement was transmitted or mailed to you, and we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days.

If there are extenuating circumstances that kept you from telling us, the time periods in this section may be extended.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers from Business Accounts
TrustTexas Bank, SSB shall have no liability to you for any unauthorized payment or transfer made that occurs before you have told us of possible unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable time to act on that notice. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel your online access, even if you have not notified us of unauthorized access to your accounts(s), if we suspect the account is being used in an unauthorized manner.

If we fail or delay in making a payment or transfer in accordance with your instructions or if we make a payment or transfer in an incorrect amount which is less than the amount in your instruction to us, unless otherwise required by law, our liability shall be limited to interest on the amount which we failed to timely transfer, plus applicable charges assessed by the Bank as a direct result of our failure or delay, calculated from the date on which the payment or transfer was to be made until the date it was actually made or you canceled the instructions. If we make a payment or transfer that exceeds your instruction or if we allow an unauthorized payment or transfer after we have reasonable time to act on a notice from you, unless otherwise required by law, our liability shall be limited to a refund of the amount erroneously paid or transferred, plus any applicable charges assessed by the Bank as a direct result of the transfer, plus interest thereon from the date of the payment or transfer to the date of the refund, but in no event to exceed 60 days’ interest. Interest will be limited to the amount of interest that would have been earned on the funds in the TrustTexas Bank, SSB account had the transfer error not occurred.

Unless otherwise required by law, in no event will we be liable to you for special, indirect or consequential damages including, without limitation, lost profits or attorneys’ fees, even if we are advised in advance of the possibility of such damages.
