Identification Number and Password - Access to Internet Banking may be made by personal computer. Access requires the use of a unique Login and Personal Identification Number (collectively, the "Login Codes") assigned by us. Your use of Internet Banking with the Login Code authorized by us will be deemed by us to be valid and authentic and you agree that any communications to us under your Login Code will be given the same legal effect as written and signed paper communications. You agree that electronic copies of communications are valid and you will not contest the validity of the originals, absent proof of altered data or tampering.

Lost or Stolen Login Codes - If you believe your Login Codes or other means of access have been lost or stolen or that someone has used them without your authorization, immediately change your Internet Banking Login Codes. This is done by going through the "account management" option. Contact us immediately by writing, calling or e-mailing us at: netadmin@ambnk.com

We must hear from you no later than 60 days after you receive the first statement in which the problem or error appeared. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly.

Liability for Unauthorized Transfer/Transactions- CONTACT AMERICAN BANK OF THE NORTH IMMEDIATELY if you believe your Login codes have been lost or stolen. Change your password and contact us.

If you notify us of a loss, your liability for unauthorized transfers or payments will be as follows:

  • If you contact us within two business days of the loss or your discovery of the loss, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Login Codes without your permission.
  • If someone used your Login Codes without your permission, you could lose as much as $500 if you do not contact us within two business days after you learn of the loss and we can prove that we could have prevented the loss if you had contacted us.
  • Also, if your monthly statement shows transfers or payments that you did not make and you do not contract us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any funds lost during those 60 days, if we can prove that your contacting us would have prevented those losses.

Your Liability- You agree to the terms of this Online Banking Disclosure. You are liable for all transactions that you authorize. If you have given someone your Internet Banking Code or other means of access and want to terminate that person's authority you must change your identification number and password and make the Bank aware of your intentions in writing.

Account Restrictions - Your name must appear in the legal title of both accounts in order to make transfers between accounts. You may not transfer between accounts with legal or signature restrictions. However, an account may be viewed if you are an authorized signer on the account.

Limits on Online Banking Transactions - All transactions performed through our Online Service will be considered a Preauthorized Electronic Funds Transfer.

Our Liability for Failure to Complete Payments or Transfers - If we fail to complete a transaction on time or in the correct amount, when properly instructed by you, we will be liable for damages caused by our failure unless:

  • The account has been closed or is not in good standing.
  • Your equipment or ours was not working properly and the breakdown should have been apparent to you when you attempted to conduct the transaction.
  • You have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers or other identifying information so that we can properly credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction.
  • You do not properly follow our instructions or if you provide us with wrong or inaccurate information or fail to correct or tell us about any inaccuracy of which you are aware.
  • You do not instruct us soon enough for your payment or transfer to be received and credited by the time it's due.
  • The funds in the account from which a payment or transfer is to be made are subject to legal process or other claims which restrict the transactions.
  • Circumstances or persons beyond our control prevent, delay, intercept or alter the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • There are insufficient funds in your account to complete the transactions.
  • We have reason to believe that the transaction requested is unauthorized.
  • The failure was caused by an act of God, fire, or other catastrophe, or by an electrical or computer failure or by other causes beyond our control.

In all cases, we shall only be liable for actual proven damages if the failure to make the transaction resulted from a valid error despite our attempts to avoid such error.

Change of Terms- We reserve the right to amend or terminate the services offered from time to time and we will notify you a minimum of 30 days prior to any change by written notice to your last known address.

Waiver of Agreement - Any waiver of any term of this Agreement by us on occasion will not prevent us from asserting our rights to these terms in the future.

Termination- You may terminate the Agreement and your Online Banking Service at any time upon giving written notice of the termination to us. If you terminate, you authorize us to continue making transfers and bill payments you have previously authorized until we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon termination notice. Once we have acted upon your termination notice, we will make no further transfers or payments from your account. If we terminate your use of your subscribed Online Service, we reserve the right to make no further transfers or payments from your account, including any transaction you have previously authorized.

Disclosure of Account Information- We will disclose information about your account or the transaction you make to third parties when the following apply:

  • where it is necessary to complete transactions;
  • to verify the existence and standing of your account with us upon the request of a third party, such as a credit bureau;
