(i) control access to a Service by implementing safeguards including, but not limited to:

  1. selectively appointing a Security Administrator;

  2. promptly notifying Bank in writing of any changes to such Security Administrator’s access to the Service;

You accept responsibility for making sure that you know how to properly use your Mobile Device and we will not be liable to you for any losses caused by your failure to properly use the Service or your Mobile Device. You agree that any use by you of the Services may be also subject to the terms and conditions of any agreements you have with third party service providers, such as your Mobile Device carrier, and that these Terms and Conditions do not amend or supersede any of those agreements. Those agreements may contain requirements and limitations, including your responsibility for fees and charges, which may impact your use of the Services. You agree that you are solely responsible for all such fees, service charges, limitations and restrictions.

7. Password and Security.
Upon subscribing to Associated Connect, a password will be given to You. You will be required to change Your password upon Your first use and every one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter. This is the same password that will be used to access Associated Connect Mobile. You may also enable the use of biometric identification such as fingerprint, facial recognition or other means added by your Mobile Device carrier stored on a Mobile Device to access Associated Connect Mobile. Client hereby agrees to safely keep the password, not to record the password or otherwise disclose or make the password available to anyone other than authorized users of Associated Connect or Associated Connect Mobile. Client also agrees not to allow anyone else to register their biometric identification on any Mobile Device used to access Associated Connect Mobile. Using the password or biometric identification has the same effect as Client's signature authorizing transactions. Anyone who has access to the password or biometric identification will have access to Associated Connect, Associated Connect Mobile and designated Accounts and Services.

Associated Bank does not control fingerprint or facial verification functionality, nor do we have access to your fingerprint or facial information. There may be circumstances where the fingerprint or facial recognition functionality is unavailable or does not function as expected, and you will be required to sign in using your password. Please contact Us immediately if You believe the password has been lost, stolen or otherwise become available to an unauthorized person. If you are entitled to high risk services, you will be further required to successfully authenticate yourself when signing in to Associated Connect Mobile by entering a security code generated using either a mobile token via a mobile application on your phone or physical token device.

We and our affiliates will maintain reasonable safeguards to protect the information from unauthorized disclosure or use but reserve the right to use and disclose this information as reasonably necessary to deliver the Services and as otherwise permitted by law, including compliance with court orders or lawful instructions from a government agency, to protect the personal safety of subscribers or the public, to defend claims and as otherwise authorized by You.

Through Associated Connect Mobile You will be able to access information pertaining to Your Accounts, such as current day or prior day balance summary and transaction detail, images of checks and deposit slips.

In addition, You may have deposit accounts with financial institutions other than Associated Bank (”Non-Bank Accounts”). Bank provides a service pursuant to which balance and related information and/or other financial data regarding Your Non-Bank Accounts (“Non-Bank Data”) can be accessed through Associated Connect Mobile on a periodic basis. This Non-Bank Data may be made available by such other financial institutions to certain third party processing providers who will then input such Non-Bank Data into Bank’s system. Should You participate in this Service You thereby authorize those financial institutions other than Associated Bank holding Non-Bank Accounts to provide Non-Bank Data to Associated Bank either directly or through a third party processing provider; in addition, You authorize Associated Bank to receive such Non-Bank Data.

Bank will make reasonable efforts to deliver Non-Bank Data to You by any mutually agreed upon time, but does not guarantee a specific delivery time.

Funds transfers will be processed on Business Days within the cutoff times specified in the Associated Connect Mobile application.

Client authorizes Us to withdraw the necessary funds from Your Account with Us to process the funds transfer transaction. Any funds transfer shall be in an amount not to exceed any limit established by Associated Bank from time to time.

Uncollected funds may be accessed for funds transfer and check clearing, subject to applicable fees. Client assumes responsibility for verifying availability of funds at the time of the funds transfer order. If Account is overdrawn, Client agrees to immediately pay Us the overdrawn amount together with any applicable fees. If the Account is maintained in connection with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that Account rather than this Agreement.

In the event that a Wire Transfer is approved by You through the use of Associated Connect Mobile, then any agreement between You and the Bank governing Your use of Wire Transfer Services (including, but not limited to, any Client Election Document for Wire Transfer Services) is amended to include the following: “In addition to and without limiting the Security Procedures set forth herein, Client further agrees that it will comply with those Security Procedures set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of the Associated Connect Mobile Agreement, which Client agrees are commercially reasonable methods of providing security against unauthorized Payment Orders.” Security Procedures. Unless You have opted out of the dual control requirement by signing the Dual Control Exception Addendum to Wire Transfer Agreement, Associated Bank requires dual control as an added security procedure for the Wire Transfer Service. Dual control requires two (2) users working together to successfully submit a wire to the bank; one (1) user to create the wire and the other user to approve the wire. Even if a user is entitled to create and approve wires, a single user will not be able to create and approve the same wire. You will be further required to successfully authenticate yourself when approving a Wire transfer (where dual control is in place) by entering a security code generated using either a mobile token, via a mobile application on your phone, or physical token device.

All other provisions of the Wire Transfer Agreement remain in full force and effect.
