If you perform transactions with your card with the Mastercard® logo in a currency other than US dollars, Mastercard International Inc. will convert the charge into a US dollar amount. At Mastercard International they use a currency conversion procedure, which is disclosed to institutions that issue Mastercard®. Currently the currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International to determine the transaction amount in US dollars for such transactions is generally either a government mandated rate or wholesale rate, determined by Mastercard International for the processing cycle in which the transaction is processed, increased by an adjustment factor established from time to time by Mastercard International. The currency conversion rate used by Mastercard International on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or the cardholder statement posting date.

NOTICE OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The use of any electronic fund transfer services described in this document creates certain rights and responsibilities regarding these services as described below.

RIGHT TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR TRANSFERS.

TRANSACTION RECEIPTS. Depending on the location of an ATM, you may not be given the option to receive a receipt if your transaction is $15.00 or less. Upon completing a transaction of more than $15.00, you will receive a printed receipt documenting the transaction (unless you choose not to get a paper receipt). These receipts (or the transaction number given in place of the paper receipt) should be retained to verify that a transaction was performed. A receipt will be provided for any transaction of more than $15.00 made with your ATM Card or Debit Card at a Participating Merchant. If the transaction is $15.00 or less, the Participating Merchant is not required to provide a receipt.

PERIODIC STATEMENTS. If your account is subject to receiving a monthly statement, all EFT transactions will be reported on it. If your account is subject to receiving a statement less frequently than monthly, then you will continue to receive your statement on that cycle, unless there are EFT transactions, in which case you will receive a monthly statement. In any case you will receive your statement at least quarterly.

PREAUTHORIZED DEPOSITS. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company:

the person or company making the deposit will tell you every time they send us the money.

PASSBOOK ACCOUNTS. If the only type of electronic fund transactions are preauthorized deposits you will not receive a statement for your Passbook account. If you bring your Passbook to us, we will record any electronic deposits that were made to your account since the last time you brought in your Passbook. You will not receive a periodic statement noting these transactions on your Passbook account.

USING YOUR CARD AND PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (“PIN”). In order to assist us in maintaining the security of your account and the terminals, the ATM Card or Debit Card remains our property and may be revoked or canceled at any time without giving you prior notice. You agree not to use your ATM Card or Debit Card for a transaction that would cause your account balance to go below zero, or to access an account that is no longer available or lacks sufficient funds to complete the transaction, including any available line of credit. We will not be required to complete any such transaction, but If we do,we may, at our sole discretion, charge or credit the transaction to another account; you agree to pay us the amount of the improper withdrawal or transfer upon request.

Your ATM Card may only be used with your PIN. Certain transactions involving your Debit Card require use of your PIN. Your PIN is used to identify you as an authorized user. Because the PIN is used for identification purposes, you agree to notify The Village Bank immediately if your ATM Card or Debit Card is lost or if the secrecy of your PIN is compromised. You also agree not to reveal your PIN to any person not authorized by you to use your ATM Card or Debit Card or to write your PIN on your ATM Card or Debit Card or on any other item kept with your ATM Card or Debit Card. We have the right to refuse a transaction on your account when your ATM Card or Debit Card or PIN has been reported lost or stolen or when we reasonably believe there is unusual activity on your account.

The security of your account depends upon your maintaining possession of your ATM Card or Debit Card and the secrecy of your PIN. You may change your PIN if you feel that the secrecy of your PIN has been compromised. You may change your PIN at our ATM or by calling 1-800-567-3451, visiting any of our branch locations and seeing a Customer Service Representative

NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS. If you have arranged for automatic periodic payments to be deducted from your checking or savings account and these payments vary in amount, you will be notified by the person or company you are going to pay ten days prior to the payment date of the amount to be deducted.

CONSUMER LIABILITY. Tell us at once if you believe your ATM Card or Debit Card or PIN or internet banking access code has been lost or stolen or used without permission or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.

Your liability shall not exceed $50.00 for any unauthorized electronic fund transfer or a series of transfers arising from a single loss or theft of your ATM Card or Debit Card or PIN.

Also, if your statement shows transfers you did not make, including those made by card, code, or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was transmitted to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 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) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

CONSUMER LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING VILLAGE BANK DEBIT

MASTERCARD. The limitations on your liability for unauthorized transactions described above generally apply to all electronic fund transfers. However, different limitations apply to certain transactions involving your card with the Mastercard® branded card.

If you promptly notify us about an unauthorized transaction involving your card and the unauthorized transaction took place on your Mastercard® branded card, including any PIN-based ATM or POS transactions, zero liability will be imposed on you for the unauthorized transaction. In order to qualify for the zero liability protection, you must have exercised reasonable care in safeguarding your card from the risk of loss or theft and, upon becoming aware of such loss or theft, promptly reported the loss or theft to us.

Have your ATM Card or Debit Card ready to use when you reach the ATM. Have al I of your forms ready before you get to the machine. Keep some extra forms (envelopes) at home for this purpose.

If you are new to ATM usage, use machines close to or inside a financial institution until you become comfortable and can conduct your usage quickly.

If using an ATM in an isolated area, take someone else with you if possible. Have them watch from the car as you conduct your transaction.

Do not use ATMs at night unless the area and machine are well-lighted. If the lights are out, go to a different location.

If someone else is using the machine you want to use, stand back or stay in your car until the machine is free. Watch out for suspicious people lurking around ATMs, especially during the times that few people are around.

When using the machine, stand so you block anyone else’s view from behind.

If anything suspicious occurs when you are using a machine, cancel what you are doing and leave immediately. If

going to your car, lock your doors.

Do not stand at the ATM counting cash. Check that you received the right amount later in a secure place, and reconcile it to your receipt then.

Keep your receipts and verify transactions on your account statement. Report errors immediately. Do not leave receipts at an ATM location.
