Introduction:
This page explains the terms and conditions for using our Online Home Banking Service and provides certain disclosures and information to you concerning the service. Each of your accounts at the Credit Union is also governed by the applicable account disclosure/agreement and Truth In Savings disclosure you received when you opened your account.
Access Your Accounts:
The password that is used to gain access to your information should be kept confidential, just as you would keep other PIN numbers and security codes confidential. For your protection it is recommended that you change your home banking access password regularly. It is recommended that you memorize this password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential. If you believe that your password may have been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money between your accounts without your permission, notify the Credit Union at once at (814) 432-4091 or (800) 730-7771.
You cannot use E-mail to initiate transactions, change information or inquire on your account(s). We will not respond to these types of requests via E-mail since we cannot be certain we are corresponding with you. Please use the appropriate functions within the Internet Home banking service, call (814) 432-4091 or (800) 730-7771 or visit the Credit Union for these functions.
Fees:
New Directions Community Credit Union assesses no fees for use of the home banking service, however, you may incur fees due to your use of this service if it causes your account to be overdrawn. All other fees in your original membership agreement also apply.
Available Services and Limitations:
Members through the Online Home Banking service may perform the following functions:
- Transfers: You may transfer funds from your Share (Savings) and Share Draft (Checking) to other related accounts including loans and Christmas/Vacation clubs.

New Directions Community Credit Union reserves the right to limit access or cancel on-line access at any time.
Operating Systems and Security:
Our Online Home Banking site is designed to operate using the World Wide Web technologies and protocols, which are adaptable to a wide range of systems. The home banking section uses SSL encryption and requires a browser with the ability to use SSL encrypted connections. Some older browsers may not be able to connect to the site without first updating the browser. Our server uses 128-bit domestic encryption and 40-bit international encryption, depending on the user's browser.
We use cookies to help us administer the home banking section. Some browsers allow you to reject cookies from servers. If cookies are disabled, you must enable at least per session cookies or you will not be able to log in. The cookie we set contains information we need for security, and allows us to 'time out' your authority to view information. A cookie cannot be used to extract data from your PC. We do not store your Access Code, User Id or Password in your cookie.
The cookie we set will 'time out' your access authority to our Online Home Banking service. Until it times out, you can come back to our home banking without logging in. After the time out period, you will need to log in again. Remember, most browsers will let you use a BACK button to view previously visited documents, even if your viewing authority has expired. For this reason, the only way to keep others from viewing your account balance is to logout from the Online Home Banking service. An idle connection will time out, and automatically log you out.
Time Out is set for: 7 minutes.
Privacy:
Our home banking database is a private system operated for the exclusive use of our members. We use SSL encryption to insure the privacy of your information when sending data between the Credit Union's home banking server and your PC.
The server logs all home banking authenticated logins. We use this information for internal review and product evaluations only. We never sell, transfer, or trade this information unless we are compelled to do so by law.
We may gather and store additional information available to us including, but not limited to: failed login attempts and other activity we consider a threat to the home banking system. In these cases, we will share this information with other companies, agencies, and law enforcement officials as we see fit.
Liability for Unauthorized Transfers:
Tell the Credit Union IMMEDIATELY if you believe your password has been lost or stolen and immediately change your password from within the home banking section. Calling is the best way to notify us immediately. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows payments and/or transfers that you did not make, notify us IMMEDIATELY. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If you believe your 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 immediately:

Member in good standing means a member of the Credit Union for at least 90 days with no negative account balances, no past due loans and no dormant accounts. Also, you must be enrolled in online banking. You understand that we will notify you at the email address you
provided of the status of your application for the RDC service.

Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete, nor does it mean that the item was accepted for deposit. We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time, any amount that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item. You agree that the Credit Union is not liable for any loss, costs or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.
