Documentation

Your periodic statement for your respective accounts will reflect all payments, transfers and/or fees associated with this service.


Hours of Operation and Daily Processing Deadlines

FNB Online Banking is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except during special maintenance periods. For purposes of transactions, business days are Monday through Friday, except banking holidays. First National Bank of Livingston has established its business day to end at 5:00pm Monday through Friday. Transfers must be scheduled before the cut-off time of 5:00pm on any business day in order for the transaction to be completed on that business day. Transfers can be completed only on business days. Transactions initiated after 5:00pm on a business day or on a Saturday, Sunday or a banking holiday will be posted on the next business day.


“Log Off” Security

Our FNB Online Banking service has a “time out” feature for additional protection. When you log into FNB Online Banking and there is no activity on your computer for twenty (20) minutes, you will be automatically logged off the system.


Fees

With FNB Online Banking (Internet Banking), there are no monthly fees or transaction fees for accessing your accounts and using features of the Service with the exception of the placement of stop payments. There is a $17.50 stop payment fee. However, fees disclosed separately to you in connection with your accounts, such as charges for dropping below minimum balance requirements, etc. still apply.


Equipment

You are solely responsible for the equipment you use to access these services. We are not responsible for errors or delays or your inability to access this service caused by your equipment. We are not responsible for the cost of upgrading equipment to stay current with this service nor are we responsible, under any circumstances, for any damages to your equipment or the data resident thereon.


Account Confidentiality

It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or transfers you make in the following situations:

  • Where it is necessary for completing transactions, or
  • In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant, or
  • In order to comply with government agency or court orders, or
  • If you give us written permission.

For additional information regarding Account Confidentiality please refer to our Privacy Policy.


Log On Process

First National Bank utilizes a multi-layered security method to authenticate users prior to gaining access to Online Banking. Access IDs, passwords, and security challenge questions are all a part of the log on process. To access FNB Online Banking through the Internet, you must log in for the first time using your Telebanking PIN, or your bank assigned Access ID and Password. If you are using the bank assigned Access ID and Password you will be prompted to change your password after logging in for the first time. This is for your own protection. In addition, we recommend you change your Password regularly to protect the security and privacy of your financial information. We recommend you change your Password immediately if it is compromised.

Access IDs and Passwords should be unique to each user accessing the service. Each signer is responsible for the confidentiality of his or her individual Access ID and Password. Access IDs and Passwords must never be compromised or shared with any other person. Anyone to whom you give your Access ID and Password will have full access to your accounts even if you attempt to limit that person’s authority.  First National Bank reserves the right to restrict on-line access should we be made aware that your Access ID and Password have become compromised.

Your Access ID must be unique, and be between 6 and 17 characters in length. These characters can be all letters, all numbers, or a combination of both. Access IDs may be in all upper case, lower case, or a combination of both. For example, “CAT453”, “cat453”, or “Cat453”. Your Access ID is case sensitive, therefore must always be entered exactly as it was established during the First Time Log In process.

Your Password must be between 9 and 17 characters in length, and it must contain at least 1 number, 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, and 1 special character. Your password is case sensitive, which means that uppercase and lowercase letters must be typed exactly as they appear. The password should not include keywords, predictable terms, and number series (For example, National, Default, or 12345).


Device Security

The following are important steps you should consider to make your computer or mobile device more secure. While no individual step will eliminate all risk, when used together, these practices will strengthen your computer's security and help minimize threats.

  1. Set a strong password 
  2. Install and use antivirus software. Installing an antivirus software program and keeping it up-to-date is a critical step in protecting your computer. 
  3. Enable and configure your firewall. A firewall controls the flow of information between your computer and the internet.
  4. Apply software updates and enable automatic updates. While there are no guarantees, keeping your software updated helps prevent infections.

Multi-Layered Security

The first time you logon to FNB Online Banking, you will be required to provide information necessary to establish the additional security requirements for multi-layered authentication. You will also be asked to select a series of challenge questions with your own responses. These can be used in the future to authenticate your sign on if you are accessing the system through a different device.

Multi-layered authentication is necessary to further enhance your security when using FNB Online Banking, and to comply with current regulatory guidelines.

Enhanced Online Security is our Login authentication system for Online Banking. It utilizes multiple layers of security to ensure that your accounts and information remain secure. Enhanced Online Security protects you from fraud and identity theft by preventing unauthorized access to your accounts.

The system uses multiple layers of security ensuring unauthorized users cannot gain access to your accounts. We do this by verifying three important criteria:

  1. Your Log In Credentials - Access ID and Password must match with our system records or access is refused.
  2. Your Device - We check the device you are using - whether it's your computer, mobile phone or tablet. If we don't recognize the device, we may ask you to answer a Security Challenge question to ensure your identity.
  3. Your Location - If access is being requested from an unusual geographic location, we may ask you to answer one of your Challenge questions before giving you access.

When you are logging in, our Extended Validation Certificate will display as a "green bar" in your browser address bar. You can always enter your credentials with the assurance that if your browser address bar is green, your connection is safe. It is a known and trusted way to verify the authenticity of a website.


Transfers

Transfers can be completed as follows: Checking to Checking, Checking to Savings, Savings to Checking, Savings to Savings, Checking to Loans, Savings to Loans.

Your ability to make transfers from your savings accounts and money market deposit accounts is restricted by Federal Regulations. For each of your savings accounts and money market accounts you are prohibited from making more than six preauthorized transfers per month; no more than three of which may be written to third parties, such as checks or ACH transfers.

Preauthorized withdrawals include transfers made through Internet Banking. The following transfers do not count towards your limit: transfers made by mail, messenger, ATM, or in person or withdrawals authorized by you by telephone or online, if the funds are mailed to you by check.


Stop Payment Requests

The Bank must receive all stop payment requests in such time and manner as to afford the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If the Bank, prior to accepting the stop payment order has received the item, the Bank would not be held liable. The stop payment order will be invalid and the Bank will refund the fee. A stop payment order will automatically expire six (6) months after receipt unless the customer renews it by completing a new stop payment order. Only an authorized signer on the account can cancel a stop payment order prior to the automatic expiration date.

A stop payment order is required to be in writing and signed by the customer in order to be effective. According to the Uniform Electronic Transfer Act (2001), a typed name or PIN is intended to meet the signature requirements of TxB&CC Sec. 4.403(b) in regard to placing a stop payment order. Your logon to FNB Online Banking satisfies the signature requirement.

For Stop Payments on ACH transactions, disputes for debit card transactions, unauthorized remotely created checks or unauthorized ACH debits, please visit one of our branch locations.

There is a $17.50 fee for each Online Banking stop payment request. The fee will be charged automatically to the customer’s account the same day the stop payment is placed on the system.

By completing and returning the First National Bank Statements Online Agreement, you are electing to receive your monthly or quarterly account statement(s) electronically via First National Bank’s Online Banking System instead of by mail. Statements are processed and published on the Online Banking System on your regular statement processing day.

Notice of Your Rights and Responsibilities

Security of your transactions is important to us. Use of FNB Online Banking services therefore requires a Access ID and password. If you lose or forget your Access ID, please call Customer Service at 936-327-1234, 7:30am to 5:30pm CST Monday through Friday.

We may accept, as authentic, any instructions given to us through the use of your Access ID or password. You agree to keep your Access ID and password secret and to notify us immediately if your Access ID or password is lost or stolen or if you believe someone else has discovered your Access ID or password. You agree that if you give your password to someone else, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf, and we may accept any instructions they give us to make transfers or otherwise use FNB Online Banking services. Do not discuss, compare, or share information about your account number(s) with anyone unless you are willing to give him or her full use of your money. If you furnish your password and grant actual authority to make transfers to another person (a family member or co-worker, for example) who then exceeds that authority, you are liable for the transfers unless we have been notified that transfers by that person are no longer authorized. FNB Online Banking enables you to change your password; we require that you do so regularly. We may be liable for certain security breaches to the extent required by applicable law and regulation.  First National Bank reserves the right to restrict on-line access should we be made aware that your Access ID and Password have become compromised.

We do not assume any other liability or otherwise guarantee the security of information in transit to or from our facilities. Please note that we reserve the right to but are not obligated to 1) monitor and/or record all communications and activity related to FNB Online Banking services; and 2) require verification of all requested transfers in the manner we deem appropriate before making the transfer (which may include written verification by you). You agree that our records will be final and conclusive as to all questions concerning whether or not your Access ID or password was used in connection with a particular transaction. If any unauthorized use of your Access ID or password occurs, you agree to 1) cooperate with us and appropriate law enforcement authorities in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator; and 2) provide reasonable assistance requested by us in recovering any unauthorized transfer of funds. We cannot accept notification of lost or stolen access IDs, passwords, or unauthorized transfers via email. 

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Access ID or password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning us is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50. If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access ID or password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Access ID or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your periodic statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed 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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

If you believe your Access ID or password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed below.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question.

Your enrollment in First National Bank of Livingston Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about your First National Bank of Livingston account(s). Alerts are provided within the following categories:

  • Account Alerts provide you with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to your Service accounts, such as scheduled payments made, scheduled payments cancelled and mobile deposits. These Alerts are automatically activated for you. Although you may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that you do not do so because they provide important information related to your Service accounts.
  • Additional Alerts must be activated by you to be enabled. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from the Manage Alerts menu within First National Bank of Livingston Online Banking and Manage Alerts menu within First National Bank of Livingston Mobile Banking.
Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. You cannot maintain all Alerts though your mobile device.

However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside First National Bank of Livingston ’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold First National Bank of Livingston , its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys' fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.

Alert Information. As Alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that Alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your Alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.
