INTERNAL TRANSFERS

Internal Transfers (transfers between your eligible Accounts with us) may be processed as follows:

Recurring Transfers. If you designate an Internal Transfer as a recurring transfer, you may request, and we will use, a Scheduled Initiation Date that re-occurs on a specified regular basis (e.g., weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, etc). You will designate a “start date”. You must have sufficient Available Funds by midnight of the night before the Scheduled Initiation Date; however, funds will be deducted from your designated Account on the Scheduled Initiation Date. Recurring transfers may be cancelled up to the established funds transfer cut-off time displayed in Online Banking in advance of the Scheduled Initiation Date.

One-Time Transfers.

  1. One-time transfers and payments are used for transfers and payments between eligible Accounts which occur on an infrequent or irregular basis, or which vary in amount. To have a transfer processed on the same Business Day, we must receive your instructions before the established funds transfer cut-off time displayed in Online Banking and/or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. You must have sufficient Available Funds on the day and at the time you request a same-day one-time transfer. Same-day one-time transfers may not be cancelled for any reason once the transaction has been approved by us.
  2. You may also request that a transfer be made on a future date that you may designate which is in advance of the Scheduled Initiation Date. The “Scheduled Initiation Date” will be the effective date you enter, or the next Business Day should the effective date fall on a weekend or holiday. If you request a transfer for a future date, we process the transaction at the opening of business on that day only if it is a Business Day; otherwise, the transaction will be processed on the following Business Day. If we receive your instruction after the end of a Business Day, we will process the transaction on our next Business Day.
  3. If you designate an Internal Transfer for a future date, you must have sufficient Available Funds by midnight of the night before the Scheduled Initiation Date; however, funds will be deducted from your designated Account on the Scheduled Initiation Date. Scheduled future Internal Transfers may be cancelled up to the established funds transfer cut-off time displayed in Online Banking in advance of the Scheduled Initiation Date.

Limits on Internal Transfers. In addition to the Available Funds requirements and other limits described above and in this Agreement generally, please see the applicable Deposit Account Agreement for a more detailed description of limits on Internal Transfers.

Internal Transfers Set-Up

Canceling or Modifying Internal Transfers

In order to cancel or change a scheduled transaction that is a future-dated or a recurring Internal Transfer, you may use Online Banking or the Mobile Banking Service and follow the instructions provided to you, all in accordance with the Service’s deadlines for cancellation or modification as described therein.

Internal Transfers and Available Funds

You agree to have Available Funds on deposit in the Account you have designated in amounts sufficient to pay for all Internal Transfers requested, as well as any other payment obligations you have to us. We reserve the right, without liability, to reject or reverse an Internal Transfer, as applicable, if you fail to comply with this requirement or any other terms of this Agreement.

If you do not have sufficient Available Funds in your designated Account and we have not exercised our right to reverse or reject an Internal Transfer, as applicable, you agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand. You further agree that we may, at our option, charge any of your Accounts with us to cover such payment obligations.

EXTERNAL TRANSFERS

    You must be enrolled in Online Banking in order to transfer funds between your Accounts with us and accounts at other financial institutions (“External Transfers”).

An “Inbound” transfer moves funds into an Account you own with Walden Mutual Bank from an account you own outside of Walden Mutual Bank. An “Outbound” transfer moves funds from an Account you own at Walden Mutual Bank to an account outside Walden Mutual Bank that is owned by you or for which you otherwise have the authority to transfer funds. You will need to register each non-Bank account that you wish to use for External Transfers.

    You agree that (i) you will only register eligible non-Bank accounts (i.e., accounts at financial institutions other than Walden Mutual Bank) on which you are an individual or joint owner, or for which you otherwise have the authority to transfer funds, and (ii) you will only use External Transfers for transferring funds between your consumer or commercial Accounts with us and registered consumer or commercial accounts at other financial institutions.

One-time future-dated or future recurring transfers scheduled for a weekend or a non-Business Day will be processed on the next Business Day. All other one-time future-dated and recurring transfers will be processed at the end of the Business Day requested. The cut-off time and delivery date of External Transfers is set forth in Online Banking and/or in this Agreement.

Funds involving Inbound transfers will be debited from the external, non-Walden Mutual Bank account on the next Business Day after you initiate the transfer. Funds credited to the receiving Walden Mutual Bank account will not be posted until the second Business Day following the day of debit from the non-Walden Mutual Bank account. For accounts that are less than 30 days old, the funds credited to the receiving Walden Mutual Bank account may not be available until the fifth Business Day following the day of debit from the non-Walden Mutual Bank account.

    Transfers Initiated After Cut-Off Time: Funds involving an External Transfer from your Account with us (Outbound) will be debited from your Account and credited to the receiving non-Walden Mutual Bank account on the second Business Day after you initiate the transfer.
