These features are limited to the extent, subject to the terms noted herein and in any Additional Agreements that apply to you. Not every service will be available to every customer. For certain loan products, you will only be able to view specific information and will not be able to engage in online transactions. Service availability and any restrictions that might be applied to that service can be applied to any customer group or individual as we see fit. For certain of your accounts, you may be able to hyperlink from the Online Banking Site to another site relating to such accounts, where you may be able to access features, information, transactions or other services pertaining to those accounts that you cannot access directly on the Online Banking Site (and thus not deemed a part of the Services). We will make our best effort to provide notice of change or restrictions to any service accessing via Online Banking, but we are not required to provide notice except where governed by applicable law.
LendingClub Bank may, from time to time, introduce new features to Online Banking. We may, but are not required to, notify you of the existence and availability of such new features. By using these features when they become available, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Agreement governing such features.
19. Transaction Limits
Transactions initiated through Online Banking may be limited in number or dollar amount. LendingClub Bank reserves the right to limit the amount or number of any type of transaction for any customer at any time. We may limit the amount and or the number of transactions for any specific customer group or entity and not others as we see fit. Additional information regarding limitations on the amount of transfers can be found the “Important Information About Deposit Accounts Agreement” (for non-business customers) and the “Business Account Agreement” (for business customers). Any transaction limitation that is disclosed in these documents, in other areas, or is part of the account schedule of fees or conditions may be applied to any and all transactions initiated in Online Banking. We may choose to amend, change, or abolish limits of either kind at any time. We will make our best effort to disclosure such changes ahead of time, but are not bound to do so except where governed by applicable law.
All transactions are subject, in addition to any limitations on dollar amount or amount, to internal review by LendingClub Bank, including but not limited to factors such as the sending account, receiving account, the amount of the specific transaction, the aggregate amounts of other transactions processed or ordered by the customer, fraud screening, and other factors that LendingClub Bank deems applicable. If we determine that there are risks associated with the transaction, we may delay or cancel the transaction. We may request additional information regarding the transaction before it is finalized or any funds are released.
You agree to initiate or schedule all transfers or payment services only when there is or will be a sufficient balance in the account for that transfer or payment. The completion of any transfer or payment order is subject to the availability of sufficient funds in the account at the time the transaction is posted. We may cancel or delay any transaction when the funding account does not have sufficient funds at time of posting. We may also choose to complete the transaction and overdrawn the account. In either case, the account can be charged a Non-Sufficient Funds fee as outlined in the Schedule of Fees and your deposit agreement. We are not required to provide notification to you in any form that the transfer or payment order was not honored, and it is your responsibility to make other arrangements to facilitate the processing of the transaction or payment by other means, which may include rescheduling or reinitiating the transaction in Online Banking.
20. Initiation of Transactions
LendingClub Bank will make reasonable efforts to see that transactions initiated through Online Banking occur as detailed below:
If the status of any transfer or transaction in Online Banking is Processed or In Process, the transaction cannot be cancelled via Online Banking or by request to LendingClub Bank.

21. Stop-Payment Requests
You may initiate stop-payment requests within the Online Banking service. These stop-payments will be in effect immediately after submission via that service and a fee, if such fee is applicable, will be assessed to the account within one business day. The stop payment may not be effective if the item on which the stop is requested is already in process or has been paid, regardless of whether the item appears in the transaction list or other detail with online banking.
To be effective, your stop-payment request must provide your account number, the name of the payee, the check number, the amount of the check, and the date of the check.
You may also initiate stop-payment requests by calling us at 1-800-242-0272. Such stop-payments may only be initiated for paper checks you have written on your accounts (not bill pay payments or electronic payments).
If you make a stop-payment request using the telephone option, we will also require you to put your request in written form and to submit this form to us. This written request must be forwarded to us within 14 days of the date of your online or telephone request. When we receive your written request the stop payment will be in effect for a period of 6 months. If we do not receive your written request within 14 days, the stop payment will no longer be in effect. You will incur stop-payment charges as disclosed in the most current version of the “Schedule of Fees” (for non-business customers) and/or the “Business Banking Schedule of Fees” (for business customers) brochure.

24. Bill Payment and Presentment Feature
Online Bill Payment is provided to you for your convenience through the Bill Pay feature. You must enroll in the service through Online Banking prior to using it. Each account owner, regardless of the type of ownership held on an account (joint, sole, etc) must enroll separately to use the service. The Bill Pay Service is intended for the personal use of each individual enrollee. Any attempt or use of the service to process payments for third parties is prohibited and can result in termination of the service. Joint owners of a single account must have enrolled separately, and the payment history and payee information for each enrollee will not be shared or accessible by any other enrollee, even at the request of either party.
The actual payment of such bills is handled by an independent third party, Metavante Corporation. Enrollment in the Bill Payment services includes separate Terms and Conditions which you will be required to accept as a condition for using the Bill Payment feature, and will be displayed for review and agreement during the Bill Payment service enrollment process. To the extent that the Terms and Conditions are inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern the respective rights and obligations of us and you. Except as is otherwise provided by this Agreement or by applicable law, we cannot and will not guarantee, or have any responsibility whatsoever for the completion or accuracy of transactions performed through the Bill Payment feature, including electronic fund transfers that you request be performed by Metavante. Payments initiated through this service which are paid via paper check may appear to be drawn on a third-party processor and not LendingClub Bank.
LendingClub Bank hereby publishes the following terms and conditions for your use of bill payment services through the bank’s Online Banking Web site.

25. Alerts
LendingClub Bank offers opt-in alerts. Online Banking users have the ability to subscribe to Alerts that deliver information about their accounts via email. Each user of Online Banking is required to subscribe to the Alerts service and designate which Alerts to receive. Joint account owners must subscribe to Alerts separately, and may choose any selection of Alerts to receive, separate and distinct from those selected by any other account owner. LendingClub Bank may also send security Alerts as part of the Online Banking service. You accept that these security Alerts are not optional.
Alerts will be delivered by email to the primary email address listed for each subscribed user in Online Banking. By subscribing, you understand and agree that alerts will be delivered to you by this channel. You also agree that the delivery of alerts may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors. LendingClub Bank will make our best effort to deliver alerts in a timely manner and with information accurate as of the time the alert is generated. We do not guarantee the delivery or the accuracy of the information contained in any alert. We are not responsible for any action taken or not taken by an account holder or third party on the basis of information contained in an alert.
The email channel used to deliver Alerts is not secure, and LendingClub Bank will not include any full, sensitive information such as account number or password. Limited account information such as balance or amount of a transfer can be included. By subscribing to the Alerts feature, you understand and agree that anyone with access to the designated email account will be able to access and read this information. LendingClub Bank is not responsibility for the security of any information provided in the reply to an alert, as that channel is not a secure method of communication with us.
It is your responsibility to provide LendingClub Bank with an accurate email address for Alerts delivery. LendingClub Bank will not be liable or responsible for any information which is delivered to an email address which is not accessible by you, or is accessible by someone other than yourself until we have been provided the accurate email address via the Online Banking Alerts section, and have had a reasonable time in which to make the change.
26. Address Changes
You are responsible for notifying LendingClub Bank immediately of any change to your physical, mailing, or email address. Address changes may be initiated via written and signed request, or via a secure message sent to us via the Online Banking messaging feature.
Upon receipt of a request through the Online Banking secure messaging feature, LendingClub Bank may immediately apply the change of address to the account specified in the message. However, we may also require additional confirmation from an account holder or holders at our discretion prior to effecting the change on the account.
LendingClub Bank is not responsible for the loss or delay in delivery of any information or notification if it results from a change of address order entered under the account holder’s User Name and password.
27. Business Customers
Sections 11, 12, and 13 do not apply if you are a business customer. We have no liability to business customers for the failure to process transactions for any reason.
If you are a business customer and you have reason to believe that your password or any other security code has been lost or stolen, or that an unauthorized person has used or attempted to use Online Banking without your permission, you must notify us within 24 hours. As a business customer, you are fully responsible for any online transactions (including, without limitation, any advances under the overdraft protection feature of your account, if any). You agree to reimburse us immediately for any loss, claim or damage which we sustain as a result of either authorized or unauthorized use of Online Banking. We shall have no liability for any loss, claim or damage which you sustain as a result of the use of Online Banking. This is true even if the use of Online Banking is unauthorized and even if you notified us of the unauthorized use within 24 hours. Once we have been notified of a loss, theft or unauthorized use of a password and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice, however, you will not be responsible for further transactions initiated with that password unless we can prove that you could have avoided the unauthorized access.
Other existing agreements and contracts you may have with us cover certain features and functionality available through Online Banking. For example, the terms and conditions of any “Wire Transfer Agreement” and “Automated Clearing House Agreement” remain in-force and prevail in instances where those Agreements and this Agreement conflict.
You agree that the security procedures we have established for the use of Online Banking are commercially reasonable.
LendingClub Bank may allow the designation by any duly authorized account representative of a business or non-retail account of an Online Banking Administrator. This Administrator may or may not be a signer of any authority on the account itself. The Administrator may be granted all rights and privileges associated with Online Banking use, or may be limited, at the discretion of the account owner(s) and LendingClub Bank. Once established, any transaction or other order received under the User Name and password of that Administrator will be considered authorized and may be acted upon by LendingClub Bank. It is the responsibility of the account owner(s) to monitor any and all actions of the Administrator. It is also the responsibility of the account owner(s) to notify LendingClub Bank immediately if the designated Administrator is not longer authorized by the account holders to transact business within Online Banking. LendingClub Bank assumes no liability or fault for transactions or payments authorized under an Administrator’s User Name and password unless we have been notified and have had a reasonable time to act in removing or restricting the access of that Administrator.
The Administrator may have the ability to establish User names and password for other members of the business as he sees fit. The Administrator may assign rights and privileges of each user up to and including all rights and privileges that are accessible by the Administrator. LendingClub Bank assumes and has no liability or responsibility in monitoring the authorization of those users, and we may act on any transaction or order entered into Online Banking by any of those users, within the rights and privileges assigned to them by the Administrator.
28. Third Party Links
When you leave LendingClub Bank’s website and enter an external website that is not hosted by LendingClub Bank you will no longer be subject to, or under the protection of, the privacy and security policies of LendingClub Bank’s website. LendingClub Bank is not liable for information, content or transactions, nor does it guarantee the services provided at other sites. This service is provided by one of our reliable partners, however, we encourage you to read and evaluate the privacy and security policies on the site you are entering, which may be different from those of LendingClub Bank.

5.2 Customer accepts as its sole responsibility the use, protection and maintenance of confidentiality of, and access to, the Access Devices. Customer agrees to take reasonable precautions to safeguard the Access Devices and keep them confidential. Customer agrees not to reveal the Access Devices to any unauthorized person. Customer further agrees to notify Bank immediately if Customer believes that the confidentiality of the Access Devices has been compromised in any manner.
5.3 The Access Devices identify and authenticate Customer (including the Administrator and Authorized Users) to Bank when Customer accesses or uses the Online Banking Service. Customer authorizes Bank to rely on the Access Devices to identify Customer when Customer accesses or uses any of the Service and as signature authorization for any payment, transfer or other use of the Online Banking Service. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank is authorized to act on any and all communications or instructions received using the Access Devices, regardless of whether the communications or instructions are authorized. Bank owns the Access Devices, and Customer may not transfer them to any other person or entity.
5.4 Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Access Devices and other Security Procedures applicable to Customer’s use of the Online Banking Service and set forth in this Appendix and associated Appendices are a commercially reasonable method for the purpose of verifying whether any payment, transfer or other use of the Online Banking Service was initiated by Customer. Customer also agrees that any election Customer may make to change or waive any Security Procedures recommended by Bank is at Customer’s risk and that any loss resulting in whole or in part from such change or waiver will be Customer’s responsibility. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that the Access Devices are not intended and that it is commercially reasonable that the Access Devices are not intended to detect any errors relating to or arising out of a payment, transfer or any other use of the Online Banking Service.
5.5 If Customer has reason to believe that any Access Devices have been lost, stolen or used (or may be used) or that a payment or other use of the Online Banking Service has been or may be made with any Access Devices without Customer’s permission, Customer must contact its Administrator. The Administrator must instruct Bank to de-activate, and has the sole responsibility for instructing Bank to de-activate, any such Access Device(s). Customer also agrees to contact Bank in any such event. In no event will Bank be liable for any unauthorized transaction(s) that occurs with any Access Devices.
6. Eligible Accounts. Customer may use Online Banking to access and in conjunction with the following types of Accounts:
Not every Service described in this Appendix or available in Online Banking is available for all types of Accounts, or for every customer. If Customer owns or has access to more than one Account, access to Online Banking must be requested in writing for each Account individually, which generally occurs at the time of Account opening and/or enrollment in Online Banking. A request to access any eligible Account via Online Banking after the Account is opened must also be received in writing. If any designated Account is a jointly-owned Account, then all Account owners must sign the enrollment form to subscribe to Online Banking.
7. General Service Features.
7.1 Customer can use Online Banking to perform the following:
7.2 In addition to the Online Banking Service’s general features, additional features or modules related to the Online Banking Service may be offered from time to time by Bank, in its sole and exclusive discretion, including by way of example but not by limitation the following:
ACH Originations. ACH originations are subject to the terms and conditions of the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Origination Service Appendix. This Service allows Customer to initiate and approve (with pre-authorization) ACH transactions that Customer desires Bank to enter into the ACH network on Customer’s behalf.
(i) Wire Transfers. Wire transfers are subject to the terms and conditions of the Wire Transfer Service Appendix. This Service allows Customer to request certain wire transfer payment orders to be made to third parties on Customer’s behalf.
7.3 The Online Banking features are limited to the extent of and are subject to the terms noted herein and in any agreements that apply to Customer. Not every Online Banking feature or service will be available to every customer. Service availability and any restrictions that might be applied to that service can be applied to any customer group or individual as Bank deems appropriate in its sole and exclusive discretion. For certain of Customer’s Deposit Accounts, Customer may be able to hyperlink from the Online Banking website to another site relating to such Deposit Accounts, where Customer may be able to access features, information, transactions or other services pertaining to those Accounts that Customer cannot access directly on the Online Banking website (and thus not deemed a part of the Online Banking Service).
7.4 Bank may, from time to time, introduce new features to Online Banking. Bank may, but is not required to, notify Customer of the existence and availability of such new features. By using these features when they become available, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of the Appendix or other service agreement governing such features.
8. Hours of Access. Online Banking is generally available seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. Some or all features of Online Banking may not be available from time to time due to problems arising in connection with transmissions over the Internet, as well as emergency or scheduled system maintenance. Bank will post a notice of any extended periods of non-availability on the Online Banking site. Certain transactions posted outside normal business hours, such as those using the Bill Payment Service, will not take effect until the next Business Day.
9. Fees and Charges. Customer agrees to pay the Service Fees associated with Customer’s use of Online Banking as set forth in the Bank’s Fee Schedule as it may be amended from time to time. Customer agrees that all such Service Fees will be deducted from the checking Deposit Account designated as the “Primary Account” on Customer’s Sign-Up Forms. If Customer closes the Primary Account, Customer must contact Bank immediately to designate another Deposit Account as the Primary Account. Customer agrees to pay any and all additional charges for services that Customer may request which are not covered by this Appendix, another Appendix or the Agreement. Customer acknowledges and agrees to be responsible for all telephone and Internet service fees Customer may incur in connection with Customer’s use of Online Banking.
10. Overdrafts. Customer agrees to initiate or schedule all transfers or payment transactions only when there is or will be sufficient Available Funds in the Account for that transfer or payment. The completion of any transfer or payment order is subject to sufficient Available Funds in the Account at the time the transaction is posted. If Customer’s Account has insufficient Available Funds to perform any fund transfer Customer has requested for a given Business Day, Bank may either pay or return it. Bank is not required to provide notification to Customer in any form that the transfer or payment order was not honored, and it is Customer’s responsibility to make other arrangements to facilitate the processing of the transaction or payment by other means, which may include rescheduling or reinitiating the transaction in Online Banking. Customer agrees to pay the outstanding overdraft and any fee(s) associated with the overdraft in accordance with the Fee Schedule, whether the item is paid or returned. The honoring of one or more of Customer’s overdrafts, however, does not obligate Bank to honor any future overdrafts. Bank may assess a fee to Customer’s Account for processing an item that is presented for payment for which there are no funds, insufficient funds or unavailable funds. Please refer to the Fee Schedule for the amount of this fee. If Customer has an “Overdraft Protection” feature with Customer’s Deposit Account, any check or debit that overdraws such Deposit Account will be honored up to Customer’s available credit limit.
11. Limits on Amounts and Frequency of Online Banking Transactions.
11.1 Transactions initiated through Online Banking may be limited in number or dollar amount. Bank reserves the right to limit the amount or number of any type of transaction for any customer at any time. Bank may limit the amount and or the number of transactions for any specific customer group or entity as Bank deems appropriate in its sole and exclusive discretion. Additional information regarding limitations on the amount of transfers can be found the applicable Deposit Account Agreement. Any transaction limitation that is disclosed in these documents, in other areas, or is part of the Fee Schedule may be applied to any and all transactions initiated in Online Banking. Bank may amend, change, or abolish transaction limits of any kind at any time. Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior notice of such changes, but is not bound to do so except where governed by applicable law. All transactions are subject, in addition to any limitations on dollar amount or amount, to internal review by Bank from time to time, including but not limited to the review of factors such as the sending account, receiving account, the amount of the specific transaction, the aggregate amounts of other transactions processed or ordered by the customer, fraud screening, and other factors that Bank deems applicable and appropriate. If Bank determines that there are risks associated with the transaction, Bank may delay or cancel the transaction. Bank may request additional information regarding the transaction before it is finalized or any funds are released. In addition, if a hold has been placed on the deposits made to an Account from which Customer wishes to transfer funds, Customer cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.
12. Transaction Cut-Off Times. Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to process Customer’s transactions that are initiated through Online Banking as set forth below, or as may otherwise be specifically set forth in any applicable service Appendix or other agreement:
If the status of any transfer or transaction in Online Banking is “Processed” or “In Process,” the transaction cannot be cancelled via Online Banking or by request to Bank. It is Customer’s responsibility to arrange with the recipient or external financial institution for the re-credit or re-deposit of any funds transferred at Customer’s request through Online Banking outside of the timeframes noted above.
13. Stop Payment Requests.
13.1 Customer may initiate stop payment requests within the Online Banking Service. These stop payment requests will be effective immediately after submission via Online Banking, and any applicable fee associated with that request will be assessed to the Deposit Account within one (1) Business Day. The stop payment request will not be effective if the item on which the stop is requested is already in-process or has been paid, regardless of whether the item appears in the transaction list or other detail within Online Banking.
13.2 To be effective, Customer’s stop payment request must include Customer’s Deposit Account number, the name of the payee, the check number, the amount of the check, and the date of the check.
13.3 Customer may also initiate stop payment requests by calling Bank at 1-800-242-0272. Such stop payments may only be initiated for paper checks that Customer has written on Customer’s Deposit Accounts (and not those made via the Bill Payment Service or that is an electronic payment).
13.4 If Customer makes a stop payment request using the telephone option, Bank will also require Customer to put the stop payment request in written form and to submit this form to Bank. This written request must be forwarded to Bank within fourteen (14) days of the date of Customer’s Online Banking or telephone request. When Bank receives Customers’ written request, the stop payment will be in effect for a period of six (6) months. If Bank does not receive Customer’s written request within fourteen (14) days, the stop payment will no longer be in effect.
14. Periodic Statements. Customer will not receive a separate Online Banking statement. Transfers to and from Customer’s Accounts using Online Banking will appear on the respective periodic statements for each of Customer’s Accounts. Statements will be provided in paper form unless Customer elects the eStatements Service in the Sign-Up Forms.
15. BILL PAYMENT SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Joint owners of a single Deposit Account must have enrolled separately, and the payment history and payee information for each enrollee will not be shared or accessible by any other enrollee, even at the request of either party.
15.3 Enrollment in Bill Payment includes separate terms and conditions provided during enrollment that Customer will be required to accept as a condition for using Bill Payment. At least one (1) Authorized Representative must enroll in Bill Payment in order for it to be activated. Customer’s Authorized Representative and all Authorized Users of Bill Payment will be required to review and accept the additional terms and conditions, which will be displayed electronically during the Bill Payment Service enrollment process.
15.4 Except as is otherwise provided by this Appendix, the Agreement or by applicable law, Bank cannot and will not guarantee or have any responsibility whatsoever for the completion or accuracy of transactions performed through Bill Payment, including electronic fund transfers that Customer requests be performed by Bank’s service provider.

Bank will send Customer an e-mail on an ongoing basis to Customer’s primary e-mail address, as indicated in Customer’s online profile with Online Banking, notifying Customer that one or more of Customer’s eStatement Account Statements are ready to be viewed on the Bank website.
16.3 Authorization. As a condition of using eStatements, Customer represents to Bank and further agrees that, if the Deposit Account used to access eStatements is a joint Deposit Account, Customer is an Deposit Account holder of the joint Account and Customer’s election to use eStatements for the Deposit Account has been authorized by each of the joint accountholders. All joint accountholders on the Deposit Account are legally bound by these terms and conditions.
16.4 Termination of eStatements. Customer election to receive subsequent Account Statements electronically is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Customer may elect to terminate eStatements at any time in writing, by sending Bank a secure e-mail via the Online Banking Service.

Bank reserves the right to discontinue the eStatements service at any time.
17. Alerts.
17.1 Bank offers opt-in “Alerts” associated with certain eligible Customer Accounts. Online Banking users have the ability to subscribe to Alerts that deliver information about Accounts via email. Each user of Online Banking is required to subscribe to the Alerts service and designate which Alerts to receive. Joint Online Banking users must subscribe to Alerts separately, and may choose any selection of Alerts to receive, separate and distinct from those selected by any other user. Bank may also send security Alerts as part of the Online Banking Service. Customer acknowledges and agrees that these security Alerts are not optional.
17.2 Alerts will be delivered by email to the primary email address listed for each subscribed Authorized User in Online Banking. By subscribing, Customer understands and agrees that Alerts will be delivered to Customer via this channel.

Bank is not responsible for any action taken or not taken by an Account holder or third party on the basis of information contained in an Alert.
17.3 The email channel used to deliver Alerts is not secure, and Bank will not include any full, non-public personal information such as account number or password. Limited Account information such as balance or amount of a transfer can be included. By subscribing to the Alerts feature, Customer understands and agrees that anyone with access to the designated email account will be able to access and read this information. Bank is not responsibility for the security of any information provided in any reply to an Alert, as that channel is not a secure method of communication with Bank.
17.4 It is Customer’s responsibility to provide to and maintain with Bank an accurate email address for Alerts delivery. Bank will not be liable or responsible for any information which is delivered to an email address which is not accessible by Customer, or is accessible by someone other than Customer until Bank has been provided an accurate email address via the Online Banking Alerts section, and has had a reasonable time in which to process the change.

Bank disclaims any responsibility for the content, products and services provided at linked third party websites.
