Description of Service

Mobile Banking allows you to access your Dedham Savings account information, review balances and transaction history, pay bills, make deposits, and transfer funds between or among your eligible Dedham Savings accounts. Mobile Banking allows a business customer to submit and approve other types of transactions such as wire transfers and ACH origination. Those services are made available through a separate approval process.

Additional Terms Governing Deposits Via Mobile Banking
1. Eligible Items. You agree to deposit via Mobile Banking only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg. CC”). You agree that the image of any check transmitted to Dedham Savings via Mobile Banking (hereinafter, “Check Image”) will be converted to an Image Replacement Document (IRD) for subsequent presentment and collection, and it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
You further agree that you will not scan and deposit via Mobile Banking any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:
- Checks payable to any person or entity other than you for a personal account or the business/entity on a business account.
- Checks containing any alteration on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn;
- Checks payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees
- Checks requiring multiple endorsements
- Checks previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC;

3. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through Mobile Banking, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission.
An image of an item shall be deemed deposited when you view the posted deposit to your account.
Acknowledgment that your Check Image has been received does not mean the Check Image has been approved and deposited.
We will send you an email to confirm receipt of the Check Image.
We will send you an email to confirm the Bank’s approval of the Check Image for processing or its decision that it will decline to process the Check Image.
If your deposit is declined after it has been made, we reserve the right to debit your account for the amount of the entire deposited item in question. We will notify you that your deposit has been declined through written notification.
We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time any item that we subsequently determine is not an eligible item. You agree that Dedham Savings is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.
4. Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC.
In general, if a Check Image you transmit through Mobile Banking is received and approved before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. For purposes of transactions, Dedham Savings business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
5. Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation that a deposit has been successfully credited to your account without additional notifications or adjustments, you agree to retain the check for at least 30 calendar days from the date of the image transmission. We request that you mark “Processed xx/xx/xxxx (date)” to ensure that no person or entity attempts to re-deposit the item(s). And, you agree that you will never re-present an item after it has already been presented for deposit through Mobile Banking. You further agree to (i) destroy each check that you transmitted as an image through Mobile Banking, (ii) mark it “VOID,” and/or (iii) otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment within 45 days (retain the check for 30 days and destroy the check by 45 days) after that check has been deposited via Mobile Banking. During the time the retained check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to Dedham Savings upon request.
6. Deposit Limits. We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or the number of items that may be deposited through Mobile Banking on a daily, multi-daily, or weekly basis. Limits may vary. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we can reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will be subject to this Agreement and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.
7. Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment to the drawee institution, and collected shall be within Dedham Savings’ sole discretion subject to Dedham Savings’ account opening and Online Banking Agreement(s).
8. Errors. You agree to notify Dedham Savings of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through Mobile Banking right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable account statement is sent. Unless you notify Dedham Savings within 60 days of the day your account statement is sent, your statement shall be deemed correct with respect to all deposits made via Mobile Banking, and you will be prohibited from bringing a claim against Dedham Savings for any alleged error related to any deposit made by you or with your Device via Mobile Banking.
9. Image Quality. All Check Images must be legible, with legibility to be determined in the sole discretion of Dedham Savings. Without limiting the foregoing, the image quality of all items deposited via Mobile Banking must comply with the requirements established from time to time by Dedham Savings, ANSI, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.

8. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks
Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address, mobile phone number, or Zelle® tag enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled.
Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle® and the other Network Banks, we may need or Zelle® may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.
9. Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks
You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of this Service by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, either in the Zelle® mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.
In most cases, when you are sending money to another User, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle® and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle®, either in the Zelle® mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle®, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.
The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
10. Liability
Neither we nor Zelle® shall have liability to you for any transfers of money, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle® to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages.

You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request.

Neither we nor Zelle® accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle® may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.
By accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zelle®, its owners, directors, officers agents and Network Banks from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from or arising out of any request for money that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts.
You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle®. Neither we nor Zelle® assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.
