Hours of Service Availability

MFS Online Banking is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, although some or all MFS Online Banking services may not be available occasionally due to emergency or scheduled system maintenance. We agree to post notice of any extended periods of non-availability on the MFS web site.

Your Password

We may, at our option, change the parameters for the password used to access MFS Online Banking without prior notice to you and if we do so you will be required to change your password the next time you access MFS Online Banking.

For security purposes, you are required to change your password upon your initial login to MFS Online Banking. You determine what password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated to us. You agree that we are authorized to act on any instructions received under your password. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password. Upon three unsuccessful attempts to use your password, your access to MFS Online Banking will be revoked. To re-establish your authorization to use MFS Online Banking, you must contact us to have your password reset

We recommend that you create a password that utilizes both upper and lower case alpha and numeric characters for purposes of security. Your password should not be associated with any commonly known personal identification, such as social security numbers, address, date of birth, names of children and should be memorized rather than written down.

You have the ability to change your password online, and you must do so immediately if you believe your password has been used or accessed without your permission. You must also notify the Bank immediately, by telephone and in writing, if you believe that your Password has become known to an unauthorized person or that an unauthorized person has gained access to the Service. Telephone notice shall be given by calling the Maspeth Federal Operations Support Department (718-335-1300) during regular business hours. The furnishing of any such notice shall not relieve the Customer of any liability for loss, whenever occurring, caused by such unauthorized use.

Security

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through MFS Online Banking and you agree to promptly examine your periodic statement for each of your Maspeth Federal accounts as soon as you receive it. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your account and account number, and your personal identification information, such as your driver's license number and social security number. You understand that personal identification information by itself, or together with information related to your account, may allow unauthorized access to your account. Your password and login ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts.

You specifically agree that:

  • You will protect and not give or disclose your password to anyone, including any Bank employee, particularly while on the telephone or while using the Internet when not connected directly to MFS Online Banking. If you disclose your password to any person or entity you assume all risks and losses associated with such disclosure, and if you permit any other person or entity to use MFS Online Banking, or other means to access your password or account you are responsible for any transactions and activities performed from your accounts or for any use of your personal and account information by such person or entity unless otherwise restricted by Law or Regulation.
  • You will not leave your password or account information in an area accessible by others, including your Computer screen.
  • You will not send your password or account information over any public or general e-mail system.
  • You will not leave your Computer unattended while you are connected to MFS Online Banking.
  • You will not select any user password that is conspicuous or can be easily deciphered or determined.
  • Maspeth Federal may not immediately receive e-mail that you send. Therefore, you may not rely on e-mail if you need to communicate with the Bank immediately. For example, if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts, you should contact the Bank immediately by (a) calling 718-335-1300 and (b) confirming your oral report by writing to the Bank. The Bank will not take actions based on your e-mail requests until the Bank actually receives your message, can verify its identity and authenticity and has a reasonable opportunity to act.

Fees and Charges

There are no monthly or transaction fees for accessing your account(s) through MFS Online Banking. However, Maspeth Federal Savings reserves the right to impose a fee for MFS Online Banking services by procedures outlined in this Agreement. The service charges and fees provided for in your deposit and loan agreements, if applicable, will continue to apply. You authorize the Bank to deduct all applicable fees from your checking account.

Limits on Amounts and Frequency of MFS Online Banking Transactions

The number of transfers from Maspeth Federal accounts and the amounts which may be transferred are limited pursuant to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement and disclosure for those accounts. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds, you cannot transfer the portion of the funds held until the hold expires.

The Bank reserves the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from your accounts for security or credit reasons, as the Bank may determine at any time and from time to time at its sole discretion.

Overdrafts (Order of Payments, Transfers and other Withdrawals)

If funds are withdrawn from any of your accounts by means of any transfer, other than through MFS Online Banking, and if the account contains insufficient funds to enable both the electronic funds transfer and the MFS Online Banking transfer to be made, then the other transfer will have priority and the MFS Online Bankingtransfer will either be refused or result in an overdraft of such account, at the Bank's discretion.

If applicable, any overdraft that you may incur through your use of MFS Online Banking is subject to the terms of your overdraft line of credit agreement.

MFS Online Banking Bill Payment Service

This section shall not be applicable unless you have chosen to use the MFS Online Banking Bill Payment Service.

MFS Online Banking Bill Payment is an electronic payment system that permits you to initiate and authorize payments from your designated account to a merchant or business ("payee") which you have selected in advance to receive such payments.

To use MFS Online Banking Bill Payment for bill payments, you may designate anyone of your checking accounts as your Bill Payment Account. An account that requires two or more signatures to make withdrawals may not be designated as a Bill Payment Account. You can arrange, at your option, for the payment of your current, future and recurring bills from your Bill Payment Account each Bank business day. You may select payees from your list of merchants or businesses, including your mortgage loan with the Bank. By furnishing the Bank with the names and account numbers of payees you select and certain other information we may request, you authorize the Bank to follow your payment instructions to these payees as received by the Bank through your use of MFS Online Banking Bill Payment. You may access your list of payees or merchants (online) to verify which new payees have been added.

You have the option of setting up a payee as one of two bill payment types: (1) recurring payments, which are payments of a fixed amount that are paid at a regular interval, such as monthly (e.g. rent, mortgage, etc.) or (2) variable payments, which are payments that vary in amount and/or date (e.g. utility, credit card, etc.). After you have established a recurring or variable payment authorization, the Bank will execute MFS Online Banking Bill Payments according to your pre-existing instructions until you have properly notified Maspeth Federal, in accordance with the Bank's procedures in effect at that time, of any cancellation of or change to your instructions.

Recurring payments will be sent on the same calendar day of each month or on the following business day if the regular payment day does not fall on a business day. For the purpose of MFS Online Banking Bill Payment services, a business day does not include Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays as observed by Maspeth Federal Savings.

When you have entered and transmitted payment instruction, you authorize Maspeth Federal to charge your Bill Payment Account for the amount of your payment. You are responsible for all transactions made using MFS Online Banking Bill Payment, including any bill payments that you may unintentionally or inadvertently authorize or make, and any losses, charges or unauthorized charges made with your password or penalties incurred as a result (unless otherwise provided by law or regulation). You are responsible for providing us with the proper payee identification information, including the payee's address, telephone number, and your identification or account number with the payee. If any of your payee information changes after you enroll, you are responsible for notifying us of these changes. If you instruct us to make a payment to a particular payee and fail to give us the correct identification information, we are not responsible or liable in connection with such a transfer. You must deal directly with the parties involved to correct such a transaction.

When the Bank receives a payment instruction, the Bank will remit funds to the payee on your behalf from the available funds in your designated Bill Payment Account no later than three to five business days after you have so instructed the Bank (a "Current Payment"), unless your instruction is to make payment on a future date (a "Future Payment"); provided however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to make any payment unless your Bill Payment Account has sufficient funds available to cover the payment on the date the Bank processes such debits to such account. You have the right to stop or change any scheduled payment provided that your stop or change request is received prior to the payment being posted to your account, as required by law or regulation.

Any payment made through MFS ONLINE BANKING BILL PAYMENT requires sufficient time for your payee to credit your account properly. To avoid imposition of a finance charge or other charges by the payee, you must authorize and schedule payment on a date sufficiently in advance of the due date of your payment. All payments through MFS ONLINE CONNECT BANKING PAYMENT must be authorized and scheduled so the payment is at least ten (10) business days prior to the date that payment is due. You are responsible for any late payments, fees, costs or finance charges. The bank shall not be responsible for any charges imposed or other action taken by a payee resulting from a late payment.

Stop Payment Requests

Stopping the payment of a check is different from the cancellation of a bill payment. Once the bill payment has been debited from your account, you CANNOT cancel or stop a bill payment which has been paid electronically. You may initiate stop payment requests via MFS Online Banking only for paper checks you have written (non-electronically) on your BANK accounts. All requests to stop payment will incur the standard “stop payment charge.”

  • The customer may initiate a stop payment request to the Bank via the System with respect to any check (the "item") drawn by the Customer on its accounts. Stop Payment requests initiated on the System shall be deemed the equivalent of written stop payment orders under the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Written stop payment requests are effective for six (6) months unless renewed in writing prior to the expiration of the initial six-month period. Any stop payment order must specify the account number, payee, date, amount and number of the item.
  • The Customer shall notify the Bank immediately, but in no event later than the time the stop payment is processed by the Bank, if the stop payment request contains any errors or is incomplete.
  • The Customer understands that MFS Online Banking allows for the search only of items containing the information input by the Customer and that if such information is not accurate in all respects, it will not be effective to stop payment of the desired item and may result in the stopping of payment of other instruments or items. The customer further understands that, in addition to any other requirement, the MICR encoded item number is a critical information field and that, if it is missing or has been input incorrectly (wrong number) the intended item will not be stopped. The Customer assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of all data and information entered through the System. Any inaccurate, missing or incorrect information shall completely void any liability of the Bank. Stop payment requests desired to be effected by the Customer must be received by the Bank at such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity to take action with respect to the item.
  • The Customer recognizes that it may not be possible at all times to determine, through the use of the Service, whether an item has been paid. The Bank shall have no liability whatsoever in that regard.
  • The Customer agrees that the Bank will not be responsible or liable for certification or payment of items which the Bank has been requested not to pay, provided that the Bank has acted in good faith and exercised ordinary care in providing such certification or making such payment. In no event shall the Bank's liability for the payment or certification of any item over a properly made stop payment order exceed the amount of the item

Disclosure of Account Information to Others

To the extent necessary to carry out the MFS Online Banking functions, Maspeth Federal may disclose information about your accounts to third parties in the following instances and as described in our Privacy Policy .

  • Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
  • In order to comply with laws, government agency rules or orders, court orders, subpoenas or other legal process, or in order to give information to any government agency or official having legal authority to request such information;
  • To protect and enforce our rights;
  • If you give us your written permission (which may be electronic, telecommunications transmission or on paper).

Periodic Statements

You will not receive a separate MFS Online Banking statement. Transfers to and from your account using MFS Online Banking will appear on the respective periodic statements for your BANK accounts.

Change in Terms

We may amend or change any term or condition of this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. If the change would result in fees for any MFS Online Banking service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund transfers, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of transfers, we agree to give you notice at least 21 days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or our electronic fund transfer system. We will post any required notice of the change in terms on the bank's MFS Online Banking web site or forward it to you by e-mail or by postal mail. If advance notice of the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of the account or our electronic fund transfer system, we will notify you of the change in terms within 30 days after the change becomes effective. Your continued use of any or all of the MFS Online Banking Services indicates your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable deposit agreements and disclosures. PLEASE ACCESS MFS Online Banking AND REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT REGULARLY.

If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit;

If you have not properly followed MFS Online Banking instructions on how to make a transfer or other transaction; or

If you have not given the Bank complete, correct and current instructions, account numbers, or other identifying information so that the Bank can properly credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction; or

customer or by third parties (including the Owner) or any other cause beyond the Bank's reasonable control or

If any exception to the Bank's liability that may be stated in a deposit, loan, line of credit, or other Bank agreement from time to time is applicable; or

you fail to notify us promptly of that fact; or

Not all payees will accept electronic payments and some payees will not accept for processing a payment not accompanied by a “Payment stub” and some payees will only accept your payment at specific locations or addresses. Any of those could slow payment. Determining such restrictions is your responsibility. You should check restrictions and requirements for electronic transfers with your selected payees.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Consumer Accounts

The following provisions apply only where the Customer is a natural person whose accounts are established primarily for personal, family or household purposes ("Consumer"). In the event of any inconsistency with the other provisions of the MFS Online Banking Agreement the following terms and conditions shall control with regard to Consumers:

A. Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E and UCC Article 4A (NY)
Some of the transactions permitted through the Service are governed by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and its implementing regulation, Regulation E ("Reg. E") and UCC Article 4A (NY). Some of the terms and conditions of this Agreement are disclosures required by Reg. E.

B. Right to Stop Payment
Under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act ("EFTA") you have certain stop-payment rights and obligations for "preauthorized electronic funds transfer" or "PEFT". A "PEFT" is an electronic funds transfer that is authorized in advance and is scheduled to recur on a periodic basis. One-time transfers authorized in advance, however, are not a "PEFT" and are governed by the MFS Online Banking Bill Pay Agreement.

You can stop any PEFT by calling or writing to us at least three (3) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you stop payment by telephone, we may also require you to send us your request in writing within fourteen (14) days after you call.

You may have an opportunity to stop a one-time transfer authorized in advance by calling or writing us at least three (3) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. The EFTA, however, does not obligate us to honor this request, and we do not guarantee that such a stop-payment will be made on time. Furthermore, you should realize that a one-time electronic funds transfer is irrevocable and cannot be stopped if it is scheduled to be made within three business days of our receiving the notice.

C. Customer Liability
You should notify the Bank immediately if you believe any of your accounts have been accessed or your password has been used without your permission. You have the ability to change your password online, and should do so immediately if you believe your password has been used without your permission.

If someone used your password without your permission, you can lose no more than $50.00 if you notify the Bank within two (2) business days of discovering any unauthorized use of your password.

However, you can lose as much as $500.00 if you do not notify the Bank within (2) business days of discovering the unauthorized use and the Bank can prove that it could have prevented the unauthorized use had it been notified.

If you do not report unauthorized transactions that appear on any of your periodic statements within (60) days after the first statement, is mailed to you, upon which the error appeared, you risk unlimited losses on transactions made after the (60) day period has passed if the Bank can show that it could have prevented the unauthorized use had it been notified within this sixty (60) day period. If the report is by telephone or in person at the Bank, we may require that your questions be forwarded in writing within ten (10) business days to Maspeth Federal Savings Operational Support Department, 56-18 69th Street, Maspeth NY 11378.

At the Bank's sole discretion, we may extend the time periods. You are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any payments or transfers you make or authorize to be made. If we complete a payment or transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction, you agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage with funds from any other deposit accounts(s) you have with us to the extent permissible by the applicable law and the terms of any relevant agreement.

D. Error Resolution
This section applies only to electronic funds transfers governed by the EFTA and Reg. E and UCC Article 4A (NY). In case of errors or questions about your MFS Online Banking transactions, please contact us at (888) 415-4098.

If you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, the Bank must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after it sends or delivers to you the Maspeth Federal statement on which the problem or error appeared. If not timely received, the statement will be deemed correct. If you requested more information about a problem or error, the Bank must hear from you within sixty (60) days after it sends or delivers that information to you.

  • Tell us your name and account number(s).
  • Tell us the type, time and date of the transaction and the dollar amount of the suspected error.
  • Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  • For a bill payment, tell us the checking account number used to pay the bill, payee name, date the payment was sent, payment amount, and payee account number for the payment in question.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If the Bank needs more time, however, it may take up to forty­ five (45) days from the date you notify us in writing to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, the Bank will re-credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes the Bank to complete its investigation. If the Bank asks you to put your complaint or question in writing and does not receive it within ten (10) business days, the Bank may not re-credit your account.

If the Bank decides that there was no error, it will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after it finishes its investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that the Bank used in its investigation.

E. Amendment of Agreement
Where the EFTA and Reg. E apply, the Bank may amend this Agreement at any time by sending notice to you by mail, or, to the extent permitted by law, by e-mail or electronic communication through MFS Online Banking, at least twenty-one (21) days before the effective date of the amendment. Where the EFTA and Reg. E apply, notice is always required if the change would result in:

  • Increased fees for the customer;
  • Increased liability for the customer;
  • Fewer types of available electronic fund transfers; or
  • Stricter limitations on the frequency of dollar amount of transfers

If the EFTA and Reg. E apply, we are not required to give notice if an immediate change in terms or conditions is necessary to maintain or restore the security of an account or an electronic funds transfer system. However, if such a change is permanent, and disclosure would not jeopardize security, we will notify you in writing on or with the next scheduled periodic statement or within thirty (30) days of making the change permanent.

If the EFTA and Reg. E do not apply to a particular transaction, and other state or federal laws do not specify any notice or other requirements for an amendment, we will decide what kind of notice (if any) we will give you and the method of providing any such notice.

Your continued use of the Service is your agreement to any amendment(s) to or changes of the Agreement, unless prohibited by applicable laws.

F. Joint Accounts
The provisions of this section apply if any of your accounts with us is a joint account. As a holder of a joint account, you are jointly and severally liable under this Agreement. Each of you acting alone, under your separate and unique password, may perform transactions, obtain information, stop or change payments or transfers, terminate this Agreement or otherwise transact business, take actions or perform under this Agreement. We are not required to obtain consent of, or notify the other one of you about the actions of the other. However, each of you will only be permitted to access accounts for which you are an owner or authorized user.

Each of you individually releases us from liability and agrees not to make a claim or bring any action against us for honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where the person performing the action or transaction is one of you or is otherwise authorized by you to use the Service to effect transactions in your accounts. Each of you agrees to indemnify us and hold us harmless from any and all liability (including but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees) arising from any such claims or actions.

5.SERVICE DESCRIPTION. You may use the Service to transfer funds between any two of your Accounts about which you have provided the necessary information through the Service. You may make one-time and recurring funds transfers between your Accounts. We do not limit the number of funds transfers you may make; however, you may not make funds transfers in excess of the number of funds transfers allowed by the rules governing the applicable Accounts. We may from time to time for security and risk management reasons modify the limit, the frequency and the dollar amount of transfers you can make using the Service. 

External transfers will usually take 3-5 business days from the date you instruct us to make the transfer from your account with us to your account with your other financial institution. You understand and agree that the date your funds are available is dependent on the receiving financial institution’s “Funds Availability” Schedule. Please check your financial institution’s “Funds Availability” schedule to determine when your funds will be available. Funds transfer instructions received by us after daily cutoff on a given business day will be considered received by the Bank on the next business day.  

Not all types of accounts are eligible for the Service. Be sure to check with your other financial institution for restrictions regarding transfers among your retirement (401k, IRA, etc.), savings, trusts, loans, custodial, business, corporate and other account types. The Bank is not responsible for any costs or losses incurred from fund transfers that are not permitted under such restrictions by your financial institution on your Accounts or those imposed by applicable law.  

We may from time to time make available additional or new features to the Service. You will be approved or declined for any such additional service at our sole discretion and additional terms and conditions may apply. Please ensure that you have sufficient funds to effect any funds transfers from your Accounts. We may at any time decline to effect any funds transfers that we believe may violate applicable law.  

You understand and agree that we may from time to time impose additional charges in connection with your funds transfer transactions. The Bank will notify you of such fee in advance of the transaction. If you choose to proceed with the transaction, you authorize the Bank to debit your account in the amount indicated.

Additionally, there are limits to the number of transfers you can make from your savings/money market account with us.

In the event that your use of the Service has been suspended and reinstated as provided in Section 18 ("Suspension and Reinstatement of the Service”), you understand and agree that your use of the Service thereafter may be subject to lower dollar amount limitations than would otherwise be permitted by us.  

7. ACCOUNT VERIFICATION. You authorize us to validate the Accounts you register with the Service from time to time through the use of a test transfer, in which one or more low value payments will be both credited to and debited from the Account. The test credit will always occur before the test debit and will always be of the same or lesser amount, so that the balance in any of your Accounts will never be less than the actual balance.  

Once the test transfer is complete, we may ask you to access your Account to tell us the amount of the test credit or debit or any additional information reported by your bank with this test transfer. We may also verify Accounts through requiring the entry of information you ordinarily use to access the Account provider's web site, or by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the Account.  

8. ACCOUNT ACCESS/LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY. You understand that in order to complete fund transfers, it is necessary for the Bank to access the websites and databases of your financial institution where you hold Accounts, as designated by you and on your behalf, to retrieve information and effect the fund transfers you request. By using the Service, you represent and warrant to us that you have the right to authorize and permit us to access and debit/credit your Accounts to effect such funds transfers or for any other purpose authorized by this Agreement, and you assure us that by disclosing to us and authorizing us to use such information you are not violating the rights of anyone else. You warrant and represent that the information you are providing us with is true, current, correct and complete. You hereby authorize and permit the Bank to use information submitted by you to accomplish these purposes and to configure the Service to be compatible with the Accounts.

Once the Bank has actual knowledge that you wish to cease using the Service as provided in this Agreement or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement and has a reasonable opportunity to act on such knowledge this limited power of attorney shall be deemed revoked; provided, however, that (i) this limited power of attorney shall remain in effect for as long as any pending funds transfers have yet to be delivered to the your other financial institution or cancelled in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) any act done by the Bank in good faith before it has actual knowledge of termination by you and has a reasonable opportunity to act on such knowledge shall be deemed to be authorized by you.
