For more information, see Section B "Unauthorized Transactions in Your Bank Accounts".
Protecting Personal Information - In addition to protecting your account information, you should take precautions to protect your personal identification information, such as your driver's license, Social Security Number, etc. This information by itself or together with information on your account may allow unauthorized access to your account(s). It is your responsibility to protect personal information with the same level of care that you protect your account information.
Taking Care of Your Online Password - The password that is used by you to gain access to Online Banking Services through First Bank should be kept confidential. For your protection we recommend that you change your online password regularly. We recommend that you memorize this online password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential.

Unauthorized Transactions in Your Bank Accounts - Notify us at once if you believe another person has improperly obtained your online password. Also notify us if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account. Only reveal your account number to a legitimate entity for a purpose you authorize (such as your insurance company for automatic payments). To notify us, call Customer Support at (765) 962-2581 or (800) 548-8138.
If your online password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your online password without your permission to access a Bank deposit account. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) 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.
Also, if your statement shows withdrawals, transfers or purchases that you did not make or authorize, please notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the paper or online statement was sent 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.

VI. Bill Payment Service
As part of the First Bank Online Banking, you can schedule payment of your periodic bills. You can arrange for the payment of current, future and recurring bills from your First Bank checking account. There is no limit to the number of payments that may be authorized. You may pay any merchant or individual approved by First Bank. By furnishing us with the names of your payees/merchants and their addresses, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions to these payees/merchants that you provide through Online Banking. When we receive a payment instruction (for current or future date), we will remit funds to the payee on your behalf, from your designated checking account, on the day you have instructed the payment to be sent. However, we shall not be obligated to make any such payment unless your account and/or overdraft protection plan has sufficient funds or credit availability to pay the bill on the Payment Date.
Bill payments will be made to any government agency (IRS, taxes, child support, court fees, etc.) with the following limitations:
First Bank will not be responsible for any late fees or penalties that may be incurred by these types of payments
NOTE: Any payments made through Bill Pay require sufficient time for your payee to credit your account properly. To avoid incurring a finance charge or other charge, you must schedule a payment far enough in advance of the due date of your payment. First Bank shall not be responsible for any charges imposed or any other action taken by a payee resulting from a payment that you have not scheduled properly, including any applicable finance charges and late fees. In addition, First Bank will not be liable if any third party through whom any bill payment is made fails to properly transmit the payment to the intended payee. First Bank will not be liable for delays or losses of payments caused by the U.S. Postal Service or other delivery service. We will also not be liable if there are insufficient funds or credit availability in your designated payment account and/or overdraft protection plan; if a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the payment account; if the payment account is closed or frozen; or if any part of the electronic funds transfer system is not working properly. First Bank will not be liable for bill payments not completed due to circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, telecommunication outages, strikes, or natural disasters). First Bank will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out of the use of Bill Pay. First Bank will not be liable if a payee will not accept payments made through Bill Pay. The cutoff time to schedule a payment is 9:00 PM EST Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays.
First Bank reserves the right to terminate your use of Bill Pay at any time without prior notice.
