Funds availability may also be delayed for a longer period where there is an emergency or outage, such as failure of computer or communications equipment.

- creating electronic images of checks and other items (checks, money orders, cashier's checks) ("Electronic Items")
- transmitting those Electronic Items to us for review and payment processing
We will present for payment each transmitted Electronic Item that we determine is eligible for processing by creating a substitute check that we will present directly or indirectly to the bank on which the original Electronic Item is drawn or payable, by including it in an electronic file for presentment, or by presenting or posting an Electronic Item for which we are the paying bank. There are some restrictions on the Mobile Devices that can be used and the items that can be deposited into your Account, as specified in this Mobile Agreement, your Account Agreement, and the CIBC NetBanking Agreement. Mobile Check Deposit Services are available only through our Mobile Apps.
Limitations of Use.

You must endorse all Items with your name, account number and the language "For Mobile Deposit Only at CIBC Bank USA," or as otherwise instructed by the Bank, before submitting an item for deposit through Mobile Check Deposit Services. Electronic Items that do not include this required information may be rejected at the sole discretion of the Bank.
Additionally, the following items will not be accepted through Mobile Check Deposit Services for deposit into your Account:
a. Checks that have been altered or that you know, suspect, or should know or suspect, or that we reasonably believe or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the Electronic Item is drawn

If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, we may contact you and/or take other steps to confirm that the U.S. mobile phone number or email address that you enrolled still belongs to you. If we are unable to confirm that you are the owner of the mobile phone number or email address, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Service until you enroll again.
d. Once enrolled, a Z logo will appear on your profile picture for each U.S. mobile number and/or email address that you have enrolled with Zelle®. The Z logo will be displayed to other Users to aid them in determining which of your U.S mobile numbers or email addresses should be used to send money with Zelle®. If a User sends you money using a different U.S. mobile number or email address that they may have for you (one that is not already enrolled), you will receive a message with instructions on how to enroll with Zelle®.
7. Consent to Emails and Automated Text Messages
By participating as a User, you represent that you are the owner of the email address, U.S. mobile phone number, Zelle® tag, and/or other alias you enrolled, or that you have the delegated legal authority to act on behalf of the owner of such email address, U.S. mobile phone number, Zelle® tag and/or other alias to send or receive money as described in this Zelle® Agreement. You consent to the receipt of emails or text messages from us, from Zelle®, from other Users that are sending you money or requesting money from you, and from other Network Banks or their agents regarding the Services or related transfers between Network Banks and you. You agree that we may, Zelle® may or either of our agents may use automatic telephone dialing systems in connection with text messages sent to any mobile phone number you enroll. You further acknowledge and agree:
a. You are responsible for any fees or other charges that your wireless carrier may charge for any related data, text or other message services, including without limitation for short message service. Please check your mobile service agreement for details or applicable fees.
b. You will immediately notify us if any email address or mobile phone number you have enrolled is (i) surrendered by you, or (ii) changed by you.
c. In the case of any messages that you may send through either us or Zelle® or that we may send or Zelle® may send on your behalf to an email address or mobile phone number, you represent that you have obtained the consent of the recipient of such emails or automated text messages to send such emails or text messages to the recipient. You understand and agree that any emails or text messages that we send or that Zelle® sends on your behalf may include your name.
d. Your wireless carrier is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver any message sent to or from us or Zelle®, including messages that you may send through us or through Zelle® or that we may send or Zelle® may send on your behalf.
e. To cancel text messaging from us, send STOP to 20736. For help or information regarding text messaging, send HELP to 20736 or contact our Client Support Center at 877-448-6500. You expressly consent to receipt of a text message to confirm your "STOP" request.
f. Supported Carriers: The Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without notice, to amend supported carriers.
8. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks
Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address, mobile phone number, or Zelle® tag enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the Account you have enrolled.
Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle® and/or the other Network Banks, additional time may be needed to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet legal or regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (e.g.., email, push notification).
If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Zelle® Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.
If you see a payment in your Account that you did not expect, including a payment from a sender you do not recognize, contact us immediately in accordance with Sections 13 and 14 of this Agreement. Because of the risk of fraud scams involving unexpected payments using Zelle®, please do not send any funds back to the sender unless and until you have communicated with us about the matter and we instruct you to do so. Further, because of fraud scams in which fraudsters impersonate victims' financial institutions, it is of utmost importance that you confirm you are in fact communicating with us before taking any such action. Call us directly at the contact information provided herein, using our official Client Support Center telephone number (877-448-6500) rather than relying on the validity of an inbound call, which may falsely appear to come from that number or from another number similar to a number you might recognize.
9. Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks
You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User's request for money. You understand that use of this Service by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Zelle® Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your Account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, either in the Zelle® mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.
In most cases, when you are sending money to another User, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle® and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle®, either in the Zelle® mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle®, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.
The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (e.g., email, push notification). We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
Transactions where the recipient User is not yet enrolled in Zelle® can be cancelled up to the earlier of:
1. The date the recipient User enrolls their token in Zelle®
2. Ten days from the date the transaction is initiated.
10. Send Limits
There are daily limits to the dollar amount of transactions that may be made using the Service. You are considered a "New User" if you have been enrolled in the Service for less than 60 days. Transactions initiated by a New User may not exceed $500 per transaction or $500 per day. We reserve the right to change the transaction limits at any time without notice to you. All transfer limits are subject to temporary reductions to protect your Account.
11. Requesting Money
You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle® guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a payment request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. Neither we nor Zelle® accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle® may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.
By accepting this Zelle® Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zelle®, its owners, directors, officers, agents and Network Banks from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from or arising out of any request for money that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts or otherwise violates the provisions of this Section 12.
You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle®. Neither we nor Zelle® assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.
12. Transaction Errors
The error resolution provisions of your Consumer Deposit Account Agreement and the CIBC Bank USA Netbanking Services Agreement that relate to electronic fund transfers covered by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), as implemented by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Regulation E, continue to apply to error resolution of Zelle® transactions, which are EFTs.
Reporting Errors
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed at the end of this section, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong, or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
Please provide us with the following:
- Your name and Account number (if any)
- 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
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new Account, a POS transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we need additional time to investigate this matter, we will provide you with a provisional credit to your Account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new Account) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your Account.
We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

Please be aware of the required timeframes you must observe for reporting to us alleged unauthorized transfers or loss, theft, or compromise of your access credentials. These timeframes are further detailed below. Delays in reporting to us can impact your liability regarding such transfers.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
If you have reason to believe that your User ID, Password, Security Information, or any other items or information that may allow access to the Service has been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, or if you have reason to suspect that unauthorized access to your Account has occurred or will occur through the Service, you must call us immediately at 877-448-6500.
If you tell us within two business days after you learn your User ID, Password, Security Information, or any other information or items that may allow access to the Service has been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, or that an unauthorized online transfer or payment has been made from any of your Accounts, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Account without your permission. If you do not notify us, you could lose all the money in each of your Accounts, as well as all of the available funds in any overdraft protection Account or any credit line included among your Accounts.
If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, or compromise or unauthorized transfer or payment, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from making an unauthorized transfer or payment using your Account if you had reported the loss, theft, or compromise or unauthorized transfer or payment, you could lose as much as $500.00. Furthermore, if any deposit Account Statement shows online transfers or payments that you do not believe you made, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the FIRST statement showing the unauthorized transfer or payment was mailed to you, we may not reimburse 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 within the time frame.
Your obligations and liability in this "Unauthorized Transfers" section survive termination of this Zelle® Agreement.
It is important that you only send payments via Zelle® to friends, family, and others that you trust. Please be aware of scams and other fraudulent activity that may target users of the Services and other consumers. As permitted by Applicable Law, the Bank may not reimburse you for transactions that you authorized. For example, if you are induced by fraud to send a Zelle® transaction to a fraudster and you authorize this transaction, you will be liable for this transaction as permitted under Applicable Law.
13. Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer;
- If you have an overdraft line of credit and the transfer would go over the credit limit;
- If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash;
- If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer;
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; and
- There are other exceptions stated in this Zelle® Agreement, the Consumer Deposit Account Agreement, Consumer ATM and Debit Card Agreement, the CIBC Bank USA NetBanking Services Agreement, and other agreements governing the use of your Account.
