This Privacy Policy, in combination with other relevant privacy notices that we provide to you (e.g., pursuant to financial privacy laws), inform you of the policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any personal information that we and our service providers collect from or about users in connection with the App’s website and mobile application (the “Services”).
THE TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT IN THE APP
Through your use of the Services, we may collect personal information from you in the following ways:
(a) Personal Information You Provide to Us.
We may collect personal information from you, such as your first and last name, address, e-mail, telephone number, and social security number when you create an account.

Device data, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 3G), and general location information such as city, state or geographic area.
Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and duration of access.
Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and helping us understand user activity and patterns.
Local storage technologies, like HTML5 and Flash, that provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.
Location Information. If you have enabled location services on your phone and agree to the collection of your location when prompted by the Services, we will collect location data when you use the Services even when the app is closed or not in use; for example, to provide our fraud detection services. If you do not want us to collect this information, you may decline the collection of your location when prompted or adjust the location services settings on your device.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THE APP
(a) General Use. In general, we use your personal information collected through your use of the Services to respond to your requests as submitted through the Services, to provide you the Services you request, and to help serve you better. We use your personal information, in connection with the App, in the following ways:

send surveys, offers, and other promotional materials related to the Services.
(b) Compliance and protection. We may use your personal information to:

(c) Creation of Non-Identifiable Data. The App may create de-identified information records from personal information by excluding certain information (such as your name) that makes the information personally identifiable to you. We may use this information in a form that does not personally identify you to analyze request patterns and usage patterns to enhance our products and services. We reserve the right to use and disclose non-identifiable information to third parties in our discretion.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We disclose your personal information collected through your use of the Services as described below.

(b) Third Party Service Providers. We may share your personal information with third party or affiliated service providers that perform services for or on behalf of us in providing the App, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including: to provide you with the Services; to conduct quality assurance testing; to facilitate the creation of accounts; to optimize the performance of the Services; to provide technical support; and/or to provide other services to the App.
(c) Authorities and Others. Regardless of any choices you make regarding your personal information, The App may disclose your personal information to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties, for the compliance and protection services described above.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
The App may contain links to third party websites. When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave the App and go to another site and another entity may collect personal and/or anonymous information from you. The App’s provision of a link to any other website or location is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
YOUR CHOICES REGARDING YOUR INFORMATION
You have several choices regarding use of information on the Services.
(a) How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. Some web browsers transmit “do not track” signals to the websites and other online services with which your web browser communicates. There is currently no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a standard is established, we may revise its policy on responding to these signals.
(b) Access, Update, or Correct Your Information. You can access, update or correct your information by changing preferences in your account. For additional requests, please contact us.
(c) Opting Out of Email or SMS Communications. If you have signed-up to receive our email marketing communications, you can unsubscribe any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link included at the bottom of the email or other electronic communication.

Please note, however, that if you withdraw consent to our collection of location information, you may no longer be able to use some features of the App.
SAFEGUARDS AND RETENTION
We implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures in an effort to safeguard the information in our custody and control against theft, loss and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
A NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN
The Services are not directed towards individuals under the age of 18, and we do not, through the App, intentionally gather personal information about visitors who are under the age of 18. If a child under 18 submits personal information to us through the App and we learn that the personal information is the information of a child under 18, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible.
PRIVACY POLICY UPDATES
This Privacy Policy is subject to occasional revision. We will notify you of any material changes in its collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information by posting a notice on the Services. Any material changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective thirty (30) calendar days following notice of the changes to the Services. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of the Services.

In the event of any conflict between the Terms and any other governing terms, conditions, or disclosures, the Terms herein control.
In these Terms, Conditions, and Disclosures, the words “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Credit Union” mean Mesquite Credit Union. “You," “your,” and "user" mean each person who applies for one or more of the services and each Account owner or other person authorized to transact business on any Credit Union Account that may be accessed by way of the Services.
2. Computer Equipment and Software. You may access the Services by visiting our website at www.mesquitecu.org. You need a computer, related equipment, and an Internet connection to use Home Banking. In addition, you need to install Internet browser software on your computer if you do not already have it. Modifications to the services in the future may require installation of upgrades to the browser’s software. You are responsible for installation, maintenance, and operation of your browser’s software. It is your sole responsibility to ensure your personal computer and related equipment are compatible with and capable of operating in a manner that allows you to utilize Home Banking services.
NEITHER THE CREDIT UNION NOR ANY OF ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS MAKES ANY WARRANTY ON ANY EQUIPMENT, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, OR THE SERVICES, OR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR INTERNET PROVIDER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, UNLESS DISCLAIMING SUCH WARRANTY IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.
We are not responsible for any loss, damage, or injury, whether caused by your equipment or software, the Services, or any technical or editorial errors contained in or omissions from any user guide related to the Services. We are not responsible for any direct, indirect, special, or consequential damages arising in any way out of the installation, use, or maintenance of your equipment, software, or the Services, except where the law requires a different standard. You agree to be bound by and to comply with the requirements set forth in any user’s guide, instructional manual, or other instructions that we may provide to you in connection with the Services.
3. Additional Services. We may introduce new Services or enhance the existing Services from time to time. We will notify you when these new or enhanced Services are available. By using new Services when they become available, you acknowledge and agree that those Services are governed by these Terms as well as any additional terms, conditions, and disclosures that we may provide to you.
4. Overdrafts. You agree that your use of the Services and your User ID and Security Code shall be subject to the Overdrafts provisions set forth in the Membership and Account Agreement. If there are insufficient funds available in your Account or from any form of overdraft protection, we may not process a bill payment that you have arranged for. In such event, you understand and agree that you will be responsible for making alternate payment arrangements with the payee or for rescheduling the payment through the Services. We are under no obligation to process a bill payment for which insufficient funds are available, and we are not required to notify you in such event. In the event we do decide to process a payment for which insufficient funds are available, however, we will charge the total cost of the transaction to you, including any fees or service charges.
5. Safeguarding Your Security Code. When you use the Services, you will access your Accounts by way of a user-defined Security Code. You agree to keep your Security Code in confidence, refrain from disclosing it to any third party other than those to whom you provide your express authorization, and refrain from recording or displaying it in such a manner that it will be accessible by any such third parties. Any person having access to your Security Code will be able to access the Services and perform all transactions, including reviewing Account information and making transfers to other Accounts and other persons. You agree that the use of the Security Code by you, any other applicant, any party to any of your Accounts that may be accessed by the Security Code, anyone you permit or authorize to use your Security Code, and anyone to whom you disclose your Security Code or give access to your Security Code is deemed an authorized use for which you are liable. If you authorize other persons to use your Security Code in any manner, your authorization is considered unlimited in amount and manner until you have notified us in writing that you have revoked the authorization, and you are responsible for any transactions made by any such persons until you notify us in writing that transfers by that person are no longer authorized and we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon your notification.
You are responsible for reporting the loss, theft, or compromise of your Security Code to us as soon as possible after the loss, theft, or compromise. For your security, in the event that someone tries to access your Account without knowing your Security Code, the Services will lock out all access to your Account after a certain number of incorrect Security Code entries. In such event, you must contact the Credit Union to have access to the Services restored.
6. Stop Payment. When you arrange for a Service, you acknowledge and agree that you may not stop payment of Account transfers initiated through your use of the Services, except that, under certain conditions, you may stop payment of certain preauthorized transfers. See the disclosures below for more information concerning your right to stop payment of preauthorized transfers.
7. Termination of the Internet Home Banking Services. You or any other party to your Account can terminate your access to the Services by selecting the appropriate option within the services. Unless otherwise indicated, termination by you applies only to the Internet Home Banking Service and/or Bill Pay Service, does not terminate your other relationships with us, and is effective immediately. Termination of the Bill Pay Service cancels all pending bill payments. If you cancel a pending bill payment, you will be responsible for making alternate payment arrangements with the payee. When you cancel the Bill Pay Service, all payee information and history is deleted and cannot be recovered. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, termination of the Services does not affect the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement for transactions initiated prior to termination. Notwithstanding your termination of the Services, you remain responsible for any transactions initiated by any person to whom you have furnished your Security Code. We reserve the right to terminate your use of the Services at any time without prior notice.
8. Access. The Services are generally accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except that the Services may be inaccessible for a reasonable period of time each week for system maintenance. We are not liable under this Agreement for failure to provide access to the Services or for service interruptions due to a system failure or other unforeseen acts or circumstances.
9. Amendments to this Agreement. We reserve the right to amend this Agreement and to change these Terms at any time subject to such notice as may be required by applicable law. Your use of the Services following receipt of any such notice constitutes your acceptance of any such change. Use of the Services is subject to our policies, procedures, and existing regulations governing your Accounts and to any future changes to those policies, procedures, and regulations.
10. Enforcement and Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas to the extent not pre-empted by applicable federal law, and venue lies in Dallas County, Texas.

Electronic Fund Transfers - Disclosures
The following disclosures provide important information concerning your rights and responsibilities when you make transfers to and from your Accounts using the Services.

(972) 285-8951
Mesquite Credit Union
1510 North Galloway
Mesquite, TX 75149
2. Transfer Types and Limitations. The following transactions and other features are available through the Services:
(a) Account Access Service. The following transactions are available through the Services:
Review Account balances and transaction history
Transfer funds between your Accounts with the same member number except Share IRA and CD Accounts
Arrange, review, and change scheduled transfers
Communicate with us using e-mail
Conduct other transactions permitted by the Credit Union
Scheduled fund transfers received after 2 p.m. EST or on a weekend or a federal holiday will take effect on the next business day. Immediate fund transfers received after 8 p.m. EST Monday through Friday or on a weekend or a federal holiday may not take effect until the next business day.
Limitations on Transfers from Your Credit Union Share Savings Accounts. Government regulations restrict the number of automatic and preauthorized transfers (including transfers by way of data transmission) from your Credit Union Share Savings and Money Market Accounts to no more than an aggregate of six per month per account. Transfers made through your use of the Services are included when counting the permissible number of monthly transfers. Transfers from checking Accounts and transfers from any Savings or Money Market Account to make payments on your loans with us do not count against this limitation. We may refuse or reverse a transfer or assess fees, suspend, or close your Account if you exceed these limitations.
(b) Bill Payment Service. The Bill Payment Service allows a user to make prearranged bill payments to third parties. You may set up your own personal database of payees and establish one-time or recurring monthly payments. When you add payees to the Bill Payment Service, you must enter your account number with the payee and the payment address exactly as they appear on your payment stub or invoice. Bill payments may be made from your Checking Account only. You may not make bill payments to tax entities, collection agencies, pursuant to court-orders (for example, court-ordered payments such as alimony, child support, and traffic tickets), payees outside the United States, or to other categories of payees we may establish from time to time. Payments to payees with an Armed Forces postal code (such as AE and AP), to settle securities transactions, to payoff special financing transactions, and unprocessed payments due to debit failures are not prohibited, but are not subject to the guarantee set forth below. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any payee to whom you direct a payment. If we decide to refuse a payee, we will notify you within three business days following the payment Processing Date except in the case of payees that are prohibited from receiving payment as set forth in this paragraph. The term “Processing Date” as used in this Agreement is defined as the date you designate for payment (or the next business day if you schedule a payment to occur after our 2 p.m. cutoff time or on a weekend or a holiday) and the time when we will deduct the funds from your Account. All payments are made in U.S. dollars only.
By providing the Services with the names and account information of those persons or entities to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize the Services to follow the payment instructions that it receives from you. When the Services receive a payment instruction from you, you authorize the Services to debit your Checking Account on the Processing Date. Sufficient funds must be available in your Checking Account on the Processing Date or the payment may not be made. You are responsible for scheduling payments to arrive to the designated payee by their due date. You acknowledge and agree that you must schedule each Processing Date to occur at least five business days before the payment due date if the payment is to be made by check, and at least two business days before the payment due date if the payment is to be made electronically. Your personal payee list will show whether a payee will receive payment by check or has agreed to receive payments electronically. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you authorize us and any third party acting on our behalf to choose the most effective method to process your payment or transfer, including without limitation, electronic, paper, or some other means of payment. For each properly instructed payment, you will receive a transaction confirmation number.
We will process a bill payment on the Processing Date you have designated if we receive your instructions before 2 p.m. central time on a business day we are open. If we receive your instructions after that time or on a weekend or a holiday, we will process the payment on our next business day. If you schedule a bill payment for a future date, we will process the transaction after 2 p.m. Central time on the day you have designated, if that day is a business day. If the Processing Date you have designated is not a business day, then the Processing Date will be the next business day.
Unless you receive a confirmation number, we are not liable for any failure to make a payment, including any finance charges or late fees incurred as a result. It is also important that you schedule the processing date by the time periods prescribed above since the time for the payee to receive your payment may vary according to the particular payee. You must become familiar with the payment processing time for each payee and allow the appropriate number of business days between the processing date and the payment due date subject to the limitations in this agreement. If you follow the procedures for payments as described herein and you are assessed a late charge or finance charges we will pay the payee for those charges. You authorize the payee to release your account payment and fee information to us for the purpose of fulfilling our payment guarantee. In the event that you do not adhere to the obligations set forth in this agreement, including scheduling a payment by the required number of business days before the due date according to the payment method, then we do not guarantee timely payment. In such a case, you will bear full responsibility for all late fees and finance charges, and we will not be liable for any such fees and charges. This disclaimer of liability, however, does not preclude us from working to resolve these types of issues when they arise. If required, we will be responsible for providing provisional credit while investigation is underway.
If we are unable to process a scheduled payment request through the Bill Payment Service, such as for insufficient funds in the designated Account, the transaction will result in a “Failed Payment.” Failed payments will not affect other scheduled payments.
3. Fees. If you have requested and been approved for the Bill Pay Service and you have no bill payment transactions during a statement period, you will be assessed a Bill Pay Non-Usage Fee of $6.50 for each month in which there is no bill payment activity. You authorize us to automatically deduct this fee from your Checking Account each time it is assessed. In the event that funds in your Checking Account are not available, you authorize us to effect automatic payment from any Account on which you are an owner. You must follow the procedures set forth above if you wish to cancel your access to the Services. By using the Services, you may also incur applicable fees as set forth in our Truth-in-Savings Fee Schedule. Pricing for all fees associated with the Services is subject to change.
4. Business Days. Our business days are Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays.
5. Documentation. You will receive a confirmation screen with reference information after every transfer you make. You may save or print this information for your records. All transactions made using the Services will be listed on your monthly Account statement that you receive from us. If you do not receive a monthly Account statement from us, we will send you a statement at least quarterly.
6. Confidentiality. We will disclose information to third parties about your Account or the transfers you make:
Where it is necessary for completing transfers, or In order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant, or In order to comply with government agency or court orders, or If you give us your written permission
7. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers and Advisability of Prompt Reporting. If you believe your Security Code has been lost, stolen, or compromised, you should change your Security Code immediately using the Services.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Security Code has been lost, stolen, or compromised. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Security Code without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Security Code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using it without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
8. Preauthorized Transfers.
Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So. If you have arranged to have scheduled transfers made from your Account you can stop any of these transfers by deleting or changing the transfer through the Scheduled Transfer feature. We must receive your cancellation or change instructions before 2 p.m. central time on the scheduled Processing Date. You may also stop scheduled transfers by calling or writing to us at the number and address listed in Section 10 below. If you call or write, you must notify us in time for us to receive your request at least three business days before the Processing Date. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. After the Processing Date, electronic payments cannot be stopped. We may be able to stop payments made by check after the Processing Date if we receive your request in adequate time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it. In no event, however, will we be liable for not stopping a payment if we receive your request after the Processing Date. A fee as set forth in our Fee Schedule or in any amendment thereto may be imposed for each stop payment order you give.
Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers. If you order us to stop one of these transfers three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
9. Credit Union Liability. 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 adequate funds in your Account to complete a transaction, your Account is closed, or the transaction amount would exceed your credit limit on your line of credit, if applicable.
If you used the wrong access code or you have not properly followed any applicable computer, Internet access, or user instructions for making transfer and bill payment transactions.
If your computer fails or malfunctions or the Service were not properly working and such problem should have been apparent when you attempted such transaction.
If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages, organized labor strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction.
If the funds in your Account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process, or other claim.
If you have not given us complete, correct, and current instructions so that we can process a transfer.
If the error was caused by a system beyond our control, such as your Internet Service Provider.
If you do not authorize a transfer soon enough for your transfer to be made.
If you have closed the Account to or from which the transfer was to be made.
If there are other exceptions that we may establish from time to time.

Online Bill Pay Terms and Conditions
Bill Payment Service.
The Bill Payment Service allows a user to make prearranged bill payments to third parties. You may set up your own personal database of payees and establish one-time or recurring monthly payments. When you add payees to the Bill Payment Service, you must enter your account number with the payee and the payment address exactly as they appear on your payment stub or invoice. Bill payments may be made from your Checking Account only. You may not make bill payments to tax entities, collection agencies, pursuant to court-orders (for example, court-ordered payments such as alimony, child support, and traffic tickets), payees outside the United States, or to other categories of payees we may establish from time to time. Payments to payees with an Armed Forces postal code (such as AE and AP), to settle securities transactions, to payoff special financing transactions, and unprocessed payments due to debit failures are not prohibited, but are not subject to the guarantee set forth below.We reserve the right to refuse to pay any payee to whom you direct a payment. If we decide to refuse a payee, we will notify you within three business days following the payment Processing Date except in the case of payees that are prohibited from receiving payment as set forth in this paragraph. The term “Processing Date” as used in this Agreement is defined as the date you designate for payment (or the next business day if you schedule a payment to occur after our 2 p.m. cutoff time or on a weekend or a holiday). All payments are made in U.S. dollars only.
By providing the Services with the names and account information of those persons or entities to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize the Services to follow the payment instructions that it receives from you. When the Services receive a payment instruction from you, you authorize the Services to debit your Checking Account on the Processing Date. Sufficient funds must be available in your Checking Account on the Processing Date or the payment may not be made. You are responsible for scheduling payments to arrive to the designated payee by their due date. You acknowledge and agree that you must schedule each Processing Date to occur at least five business days before the payment due date if the payment is to be made by check, and at least two business days before the payment due date if the payment is to be made electronically. Your personal payee list will show whether a payee will receive payment by check or has agreed to receive payments electronically. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you authorize us and any third party acting on our behalf to choose the most effective method to process your payment or transfer, including without limitation, electronic, paper, or some other means of payment. For each properly instructed payment, you will receive a transaction confirmation number.
We will process a bill payment on the Processing Date you have designated if we receive your instructions before 2 p.m. central time on a business day we are open. If we receive your instructions after that time or on a weekend or a holiday, we will process the payment on our next business day. If you schedule a bill payment for a future date, we will process the transaction after 2 p.m. Central time on the day you have designated, if that day is a business day. If the Processing Date you have designated is not a business day, then the Processing Date will be the next business day.
Unless you receive a confirmation number, we are not liable for:
Any failure to make a payment, including any finance charges or late fees incurred as a result. It is also important that you schedule the processing date by the time periods prescribed above since the time for the payee to receive your payment may vary according to the particular payee. You must become familiar with the payment processing time for each payee and allow the appropriate number of business days between the processing date and the payment due date subject to the limitations in this agreement. If you follow the procedures for payments as described herein and you are assessed a late charge or finance charges we will pay the payee for those charges. You authorize the payee to release your account payment and fee information to us for the purpose of fulfilling our payment guarantee. In the event that you do not adhere to the obligations set forth in this agreement, including scheduling a payment by the required number of business days before the due date according to the payment method, then we do not guarantee timely payment. In such a case, you will bear full responsibility for all late fees and finance charges, and we will not be liable for any such fees and charges. This disclaimer of liability, however, does not preclude us from working to resolve these types of issues when they arise. If required, we will be responsible for providing provisional credit while investigation is underway.
Fees.
If you have requested and been approved for the Bill Pay Service and you have no bill payment transactions during a statement period, you will be assessed a Bill Pay Non-Usage Fee of $6.50 for each month in which there is no bill payment activity. You authorize us to automatically deduct this fee from your Checking Account each time it is assessed. In the event that funds in your Checking Account are not available, you authorize us to effect automatic payment from any Account on which you are an owner. You must follow the procedures set forth above if you wish to cancel your access to the Services. By using the Services, you may also incur applicable fees as set forth in our Truth-in-Savings Fee Schedule. Pricing for all fees associated with the Services is subject to change.

There is currently no charge for the Service. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, suspend or discontinue the Service immediately and at any time without prior notice to you.
2. Acceptance of these Terms. You will be required to "Agree" to the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement prior to fulfilling your enrollment in the Service.

Further, MCU reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from the Service. Your continued use of the Service will indicate your acceptance of the revised Agreement and any such changes to the Service.
3. Unavailability of Service. The Service may at times be temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance or technical difficulties including those of the Internet service provider and Internet software. If the Service is unavailable, you may make a deposit at our credit union location at 1510 N. Galloway Ave., Mesquite, Texas.
4. Eligible Items. You agree to deposit only checks as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC ("Reg CC").

a. Checks or items payable to any person or entity other than you, including those endorsed to you by such party.

You further agree not to allow an item to be deposited or presented for payment more than once to the extent that it could result in the payment of the item more than once. If any item is presented or deposited more than once, whether by image or by other means, we may, in our sole discretion, reject it or return it and charge it against your account. You will promptly provide any retained item, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to MCU as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for MCU's audit purposes. It is recommended that you maintain copies of these items for a period of 60 days.
