This is your VISA Check Cardholder Agreement with Baptist Health
South Florida Federal Credit Union. Please read it carefully and keep it for
your records. All transactions made with your Card (hereafter referred
to as the “Card”) are also subject to the agreements that govern
the checking account you choose to access with the Card. Please sign
your Card immediately and activate it at an ATM machine. You do not
have to sign this Agreement. Your agreement to all of these provisions
will be confirmed by activating your Card, signing your Card, or using
your Card, whichever occurs first.
1. DEFINITIONS. In this agreement, the “Card” means either one
or more Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. Cash and Check Cards;
the words “you,” “your,” and “yours,” mean the principle member as
well as anyone the Cardholder permits to use the Card; the words
“we”, “us” and “our” refer to Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U.
2. BUSINESS DAYS. For the purposes of these disclosures, our
business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
3. CARD USES. You must sign the card in order to use it. You
may use the Card to access your Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U.
accounts in order to buy or lease goods (in person or by telephone),
pay for services (in person or by telephone), or get cash from a
merchant where the Card is honored by merchants displaying the VISA,
PLUS, CU-24, MEMBER ACCESS, or THE EXCHANGE logos. These
transactions are known as “point of sale” (POS) transactions. Also,
you may use the card at any Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. automated teller machine
(ATM) that we may activate in the future and any ATM machines
displaying the VISA, PLUS, CU-24, MEMBER ACCESS, or THE EXCHANGE logos
or any other institution that accepts the Card. Use of the Card will
directly access your checking account. At ATM machines you may make
withdrawals, transfers and balance inquires on checking and saving
accounts.* This Card does not constitute a line of credit from us. You
may not exceed $1500.00 in transactions per day, plus, there is a
$500.00 daily withdrawal limit at ATMs. * Some of these services may
not be available at certain terminals.
4. OVERDRAFT PROTECTION. If you have overdraft protection, you
specifically request that transfers be made to cover overdrafts that
occur when using your Card. In the event that you withdraw amounts in
excess of your balance(s) in your account(s), you hereby authorize
Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. to debit any of your account(s) (with
the exception of IRA accounts) not overdrawn to cover your
unauthorized withdrawal. The preceding policy applies to all accounts,
including joint accounts.
5. SECURITY MEASURES. Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. will
issue you, under separate mailing, a PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
(PIN) to be used with your Card. Use your PIN when making ATM
transactions and, in some cases, when you conduct POS transactions.
You agree not to write your PIN on your Card and not to carry your
PIN with you at the same time as you carry your Card. You agree to
use your best efforts to memorize your PIN. You will be responsible
for all transactions made by you or by anyone you authorize/permit
to use the Card. Do not divulge your PIN to any unauthorized person,
not even a Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. employee, either
directly or indirectly, at any time. If you have forgotten your
Card’s PIN, please contact Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U.
6. YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS. Notify us at
immediately if you believe your Card and PIN have been lost, stolen or
used without your permission. Contacting us by phone is the best way
to keep your possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all of the
available funds in your account (s). If you notify is within two
business days, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your
Card and/or PIN without your permission. If you do not notify us
within two business days after learning of the loss or theft of your
Card and /or PIN you could lose as much as $500.00. Also, if your
statement shows transactions that you did not make or authorize,
notify us immediately. If you do not tell us with 60 days after the
statement was mailed to you, you may not get any money you lost if we
are able to prove that we would have stopped someone from taking your
money if you would have told us in time. If a valid reason kept you
from notifying us, we will extend the time period. If you believe your
Card and /or PIN have been lost or stolen, or that someone has
transferred or may transfer money from you account (s) without your
permission, call (305) 662-8138, or write to: 6200 SW 73 ST, Miami, FL

fault of ours, you do not have enough funds in your account to make
the transfer; (b) if the ATM machine where you are making a withdrawal

converted to U.S. dollars under regulations established by VISA
International and may include a margin and/or fees charged directly by

other than the date of the transaction; therefore, the conversion rate
may be different from the rate in effect at the time of the
transaction. You agree to pay the converted amount.

the balance on your Primary Account (if sufficient covering funds are

present on your Primary Checking Account Statement. This means that
each of you will have the right to use the Card, and each of you will
be liable for any overdrafts resulting from the use of the Card.

statement or receipt, or if you need more information regarding a
statement or receipt. You must notify us within 60 days from the time
we sent you the first statement in which the problem or error
appeared. When you call or write to us in regards to the discrepancy,
you should tell us your name, account number, address, and telephone
number. Describe the error or transfer you are unsure about and
explain, as clearly as possible, why you believe it is an error or why
you need more information. If you verbally, we may request that you
send us your complaint in writing within 10 business days. We will
tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days
after we hear from you. Then, we will correct any confirmed errors
promptly. We may take up to 45 days to investigate a complaint. If it
takes up to 45 days to investigate and fix the problem, we will
re-credit your account within 10 business days for the amount that you
think is an error. This is done to give you access to the funds in
question while we complete our investigation. If we ask you to put
your question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business
days, we may not re-credit your account. If we decide that there was
no error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 business
days after our investigation is completed. You may ask for copies of
documents used in the investigation of your complaint.
22. DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES. We will
disclose information to third parties about your account or the

merchant; (c) In order to comply with laws and regulations and with
subpoenas or orders of courts or government agencies; and/or (d) If

23. SECURITY INTEREST. As a condition for approval for a
Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. VISA Check Card, you grant
Baptist Health South Florida F.C.U. a security interest in the
shares and deposits in all joint and individual accounts you have
with the Credit Union now and in the future. Deposits in an
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any other account that would
lose special tax treatment under State and Federal law, if given as
security, are not subject to the security interest you have given in
your shares and deposits. You also understand that Baptist Health
South Florida F.C.U. may enforce the
agreed- upon security interest against funds you have deposited at the
Credit Union to the extent of any direct or indirect indebtedness
relating to the VISA Check Card regardless of whether you are a single
or joint party on the account(s), and without prior notice to you.
Evidence of your consent to the above conditions for obtaining this
card is indicated by your signature(s) on the Check Card application
and/or the use of the Card.

(6) transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and
withdrawals, per calendar month, or to another account of yours to a
third party by means of a pre-authorized or automatic transfer, a
telephone response system, or a computer banking system. Overdraft
protection transfers from your savings account are included in this
limitation. In addition, no more than three of the six transfers may
be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order made by you and
payable to a third party. Once you reach this limit, you will receive
an error message stating that you have reached your monthly limit, and
your account may be subject to closure.
