This brochure contains the rules which govern, where appropriate, your deposit account with us. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used in this brochure should be construed so that the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. Elsewhere in this brochure, you will find a schedule of the applicable interest rates, methods, qualifying balances and charges. Please read this brochure carefully; continued use of your account with us after receipt of this brochure means you agree to these rules, you agree to pay the fees listed, and you give us the right to collect the fees, as earned, directly from the account balance. If you have any questions, please call us. Much of our relationship with our deposit customers is regulated by state and federal law, especially the law relating to negotiable instruments, the law regulating the methods of transferring property upon death and the rights of surviving spouses and dependents, the law pertaining to estate and other succession taxes, the law regarding electronic transfer, and the law regarding the availability of deposited funds. This body of law is too large and complex to be reproduced here.
The purpose of this brochure is to:
- summarize the rules applicable to the more common transactions;
- establish rules to govern transactions of circumstances which the law does not regulate; and
- establish rules for certain events or transactions which the law already regulates but permits variation by agreement.
As used in this brochure, the word "we" means the financial institution and the word "you" means the account holder.

STOP PAYMENT PROCEDURES AND NOTICE
OF VARYING AMOUNTS
OF VARYING AMOUNTS
Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So-If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here is how:
- Call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure in time for us to receive your request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. 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. We will charge you $10.00 for each stop payment order you give.
- Notice of Varying Amounts-If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made, and how much it will be. (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.)
- Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 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.
OUR LIABILITY
Liability for Failure to Make 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 and 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 the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
- 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 we have taken.
- There may be other exceptions in our agreement with you.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
- In order to comply with government agency or court orders;
- If you give us written permission.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and /or code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information on your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card or code, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your card without your permission. If you do not tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and /or code without your permission if you had told us, you can lose as much as $500.00.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 period.
If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this disclosure.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY DISCLOSURE
This policy statement applies to "transaction" accounts. Transaction accounts, in general, are accounts that permit an unlimited number of payments to third persons and an unlimited number of telephone and pre-authorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us. Checking accounts are the most common transaction accounts. Feel free to ask us whether any of your other accounts might also be under this policy.Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Sundays and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 3:00 p.m. on a business day (11:00 am Sat.) that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 3:00 p.m. (11:00 am Sat.) or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
If you make a deposit at an ATM, funds will be made available when the bank receives credit notification, but no later than 5 business days from the banking date of deposit at ATM.
Business days for Commercial State Bank online are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. You may access the accounts through Commercial State Bank online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except that Commercial State Bank may perform regular maintenance on our systems or equipment, which may result in errors or interrupted service. We may also find it neccessary to occasionally change the scope of our services. Commercial State Bank cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide notice of such interruptions and changes, although we will attempt to provide such notice.
If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.
If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available on the day we receive your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $200 of your deposits will be available on the day we receive your deposit.If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day after we receive your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
We believe a check you deposit will not be paid. You deposit checks totaling more that $5,000 on any one day.
You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later that the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

- NOTICE:
Substitute Check Policy Disclosure
What is a Substitute Check?
To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check.
Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other law with respect to those transactions.
What are my rights regarding substitute checks?
In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer in a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attenpt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees).
The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other laws.
If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your accout earns interest) within 10 business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) not later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim.
We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.
How Do I Make a Claim for a Refund?
If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us at Commercial State Bank, P.O. Box 179, Wausa, NE 68786 or 402-586-2266. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extrordinary circumstances.
Your claim must include:
A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
An estimate of the amount of your loss;
An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information: Identifying information such as the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check, etc.
