The customer seeks to conduct wire transfers on an “as needed” basis and Bank of Bird-in-Hand (“the Bank”), agrees to provide such services. The Customer and the Bank hereby agree as follows:

Exclusions from Regulation E: Please note that, because we utilize commercial wire systems to send these types of Remittance Transfers, they are not classified as “electronic fund transfers” under Regulation E, and accordingly, the additional consumer disclosures set forth in your Account Agreement under the heading of “Electronic Fund Transfers” do not apply. Please note also that domestic wires within the U.S. (both outgoing and incoming) and international wires into your U.S. accounts are not subject to the Regulation E remittance transfer rules, and further, they are not subject to the “Electronic Fund Transfer” disclosures.

Fees: A fee, as stipulated in the Bank’s Fee Schedule, and revised from time-to-time, will be charged for all wire transfers. It is further understood, that the Bank’s waiver of any fees for any particular wire processed at any particular time does not constitute a waiver of any subsequent fees;

Account Debit Authorization: Customer authorizes the Bank to debit the account(s) noted on the Wire Transfer Request form in the amount of the wire(s) and the associated fee(s), for the purpose of completing the requested wire transfer(s). The Customer agrees that he/she will be responsible for, and indemnify the Bank against any claims associated with any and all wire transfers and fees for wires conducted by those to whom the Customer has granted authorization to conduct such transfers from authorized accounts.

Delays in Processing: The Customer releases the Bank and its agents from any liability for any and all loss or damage arising by reason of errors or delays in the execution of a wire due to any and all causes that are beyond the control of the Bank.

Returned Wires: The Customer agrees that if the requested wire is returned for any reason, he/she will accept as repayment in full, the dollar amount of the wire, less appropriate fees. If an International Wire that is expressed in foreign currency be returned for any reason, the Customer agrees that the Bank will return the funds at the prevailing rate of exchange at the time of refund, less any associated fees.
