American Express Personal Savings Mobile Check Deposit Agreement

Important Agreement -Please Read Carefully

American Express Personal Savings Mobile Check Deposit Service

We are pleased that you have chosen our Mobile Check Deposit service. This service will allow you to take

pictures of certain checks that are payable to you or to American Express National Bank and then transmit

those pictures electronically to us for deposit to your account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

instead of depositing such checks to your account by mail. We will then attempt to process and collect

these electronically transmitted pictures for payment.

Your Agreement with American Express Personal Savings

This document is an agreement between you and American Express National Bank. It establishes the

terms and conditions governing the Mobile Check Deposit service that is provided for the deposit

account(s) you have with us (your “Account”). Other agreements you have entered into with us,

including the Deposit Account Agreement applicable to your American Express National Bank

Account(s), are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. Except in the case of

irreconcilable conflict between this Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement, the Deposit

Account Agreement governs and applies to this Agreement and all Mobile Check Deposits you make or

attempt to make to your Account pursuant to this Agreement.

Please see americanexpress.com/personalsavings/deposit_terms

Please read this Agreement carefully. When you first use this service to make a Mobile Check Deposit,

you will be required to check the box that you agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.

Amendments and Changes to the Service

We may change any term of this Agreement and/or temporarily or permanently discontinue

this Agreement or the service, or the qualifications and requirements of the service, or modify,

add and remove features from the service at any time in our sole discretion without prior notice, unless

applicable law requires prior notice. After we change a term of this Agreement or a feature of the

service, we may condition your use of the service on your re-acceptance of the changed Agreement

prior to allowing further use of the service after any amendments. You may reject changes by

discontinuing use of the service.

Certain Definitions

Mobile Check Deposit is designed to enable you to deposit certain eligible checks (described more

fully below) to your Account using a compatible mobile phone, tablet, or other smart wireless electronic

device (each referred to as a Mobile Device). A picture of the front and back of the original endorsed

physical check (a "Picture"), taken using your Mobile Device, is transmitted to us through your

Mobile Device’s web browser, together with required accompanying information. To use Mobile

Check Deposit, your Account must be in good standing. Successful completion of a Mobile Check

Deposit is dependent upon a good-quality original check and a clear photograph of the front and back

of the check. You agree that you

are responsible for accurately photographing the front and back of the check according to our instructions.

In order to use the service, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware (e.g.,

a smartphone or tablet with suitable photographic capability) and software, have access to the

internet, and have downloaded the required software through authorized distribution channels and

installed it on your Mobile Device. Any such third-party hardware and software is subject to the terms

and conditions of the agreements you enter into directly with the third-party providers.

Limitations of Service

When using the service, you may experience technical or other difficulties. We cannot assume

responsibility for any technical or other difficulties or any resulting damages that you may incur.

Maintenance to the service may be performed from time to time, resulting in interrupted service, delays,

or errors in the service. We shall have no liability for any such interruptions, delays, or errors. Attempts

to provide prior notice of scheduled maintenance will be made, but we cannot guarantee that such notice

will be provided.

We are not liable for any checks we do not receive or for any images that are not readable. We shall have

no liability for any alterations to or loss of the original check after the check image has been transmitted

to us by you.

Eligibility

To be able to make a mobile check deposit into your Account, you must agree to these terms and

conditions before you are able to proceed to Mobile Check Deposit. In addition, and at our discretion, we

may establish customer eligibility requirements to use the Mobile Check Deposit Service. We may further

establish limits on the amount and frequency of deposits. We may change such eligibility requirements

and deposit limits without prior notice unless applicable law requires prior notice. If a deposit exceeds

current limits, it will not be processed.

Eligible Accounts

You can use Mobile Check Deposit to deposit funds to any High Yield Savings Account owned by you and

in good standing. You can also use Mobile Check Deposit to fund a new Certificate of Deposit account

owned by you and in good standing. IRA accounts are not eligible for Mobile Check Deposit.

Eligible Checks

In order for a check to be accepted and processed using Mobile Check Deposit, it must be payable in US

Dollars; include on the front of the check (i) a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line containing a

held at a financial institution's deposit-taking office in the United States, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin

Islands, Guam, American Samoa or Northern Mariana Islands. These checks must be either made payable

to you or American Express National Bank, be signed and dated by the drawer (maker), and contain a

restrictive endorsement as described below. (Please also see "Non-Eligible Checks," below.)

Before you make a Mobile Check Deposit, please restrictively endorse the back of the check by including

the words “For Mobile Deposit Only at AENB” and sign below it.

Non-Eligible Checks

The following checks are not eligible for Mobile Check Deposit:

• Checks that are more than 6 months old;

• Checks with any known or suspected alteration or which you know or suspect, or have reason to

know or suspect, are unauthorized, fraudulent, or uncollectible;

• Unendorsed or improperly endorsed checks;

funds or accounts;

reason);

• Checks that have already been converted to an image or copy; or

By submitting a Picture of a check to us, you warrant to us that you have no knowledge or suspicion and

no reason to know or suspect that the check is a non-eligible check.

Endorsement requirements

In order for a Mobile Check Deposit to be accepted, it must be endorsed by you (and any other

endorsement supplied by a co-payee). The endorsement must be in the designated area within 1 and 1/2

inches of the right side of the check as viewed from the back. Payee or customer information must not be

on any other part of the back of the check.

To restrictively endorse your check please write on the back of the check “For Mobile Deposit Only at

AENB” and sign below it. We reserve the right to reject any check not meeting our restrictive

endorsement requirements.

Important additional information regarding endorsement requirements is provided in the Deposit

Account Agreement.

Mobile Check Deposit Limits

Mobile Check Deposit is limited to a maximum of 6 checks and a total of $50,000 (or any lower or higher

limits we may impose from time to time) per customer (whichever occurs first) during the seven calendar

days that immediately precede and include the day of your most recent actual or attempted Mobile Check

Deposit. Individual checks cannot exceed $25,000 (or any lower or higher limits we may impose from time

to time). Current weekly and per-item limits will be accessible by selecting the "?" icon displayed in the

upper-right portion of the Personal Savings Mobile Check Deposit page on your mobile browser. You are

only permitted to make one single account-opening funding deposit into a CD account. If you desire to

deposit a check that exceeds the applicable limits, you can mail the check to us for deposit, subject to the

"Deposits by Mail" section of the Deposit Account Agreement at:

American Express National Bank,

P.O. Box 30384, Salt Lake City, Utah 84130

Image Transmission Requirements

Any Picture you transmit to us must meet all prevailing industry and regulatory requirements for Mobile

Check Deposits (as those requirements may change from time to time) and we must be able to read and

convert (at a minimum) the bank routing number, account number and check serial number encoded at

the bottom of the Picture using our optical scanning hardware and software.

When you Transmit a Picture to us, you agree that the Picture is an “item” as defined by the UCC and is

the legal equivalent of the Eligible Item for all purposes including our qualifying as a holder-in-due-course

for it as described by the UCC. We can attempt to process, collect, present for payment, return or

represent your Pictures in any way we choose that is allowed by law, including as electronically presented

checks, in our sole discretion.

If a Picture does not meet all of our Mobile Check Deposit processing requirements, we can choose to,

without any liability to you: (i) refuse to accept the Picture; (ii) process the Picture as received; or (iii)

process the deposit for payment in another format as allowed.

Communications

All of your Pictures are subject to our further verification prior to being accepted for deposit and final

payment after deposit. When you successfully Transmit a Picture to us, we will confirm that we have

received your Picture. Our confirmation does not mean that your transmission and deposit are complete.

Once you submit your Mobile Check Deposit, you will receive an email that your Mobile Check Deposit

has been received and is being reviewed. After the review, you will receive an email notifying you of one

of the following outcomes:

1. The Mobile Check Deposit has been "accepted" by us for processing, which indicates the

Picture of the check appears to be acceptable for processing.

2. The Mobile Check Deposit has been "accepted" by us for processing for an amount different

than what you manually entered (although we will ask you to type in the amount of the check

in your browser at the time you submit a Picture for Mobile Check Deposit, the amount shown

in words on the check image controls, and we reserve the right to correct your manual entry

to reflect the amount shown on the check); or

3. The Mobile Check Deposit has been rejected by us for processing, along with the reason for

rejection.

Your Handling of the Original Eligible Check

After submitting a Picture of a check to us, you must keep the original check in a safe place for the longer

of a period of [30] days from the date of deposit, or until you see the credit in your online account or on

your account statement for that check. During that period, we may ask you, and you agree, to provide us

with the original check (if, for example, the paying bank deems the Picture insufficiently legible). At the

completion of that period, you agree to dispose of the original check by securely destroying or shredding

it.

Your Mobile Check Deposit Funds Availability

Once your Mobile Check Deposit is "accepted" by us for processing (see Communications, above), your

deposit will be processed and generally available for withdrawal from your High Yield Savings Account as

follows:

• If your Mobile Check Deposit is "accepted" by us for processing by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on

a business day, we will consider that business day to be the day of your Mobile Check Deposit.

• If your Mobile Check Deposit is "accepted" by us for processing after 3:00 PM Eastern Time or

on a day that is not a business day, we generally will consider the Mobile Check Deposit received

on the next business day.

• Funds from a Mobile Check Deposit will generally be available for withdrawal from your High

Yield Savings Account on the fifth business day after we receive the Mobile Check Deposit.

However, for new High Yield Savings Accounts less than 90 days old, funds from a Mobile Check

Deposit will generally be available for withdrawal on the 11th business day after we receive the

Mobile Check Deposit. (We will not consider a High Yield Savings Account to be new for this

purpose if either account holder of the High Yield Savings Account has had, within 90 days

before the High Yield Savings Account is established, another High Yield Savings Account with us

for at least 90 days.)

To be notified when the deposited funds are available in your account, please log in to your account, go

to the “Alerts” tab, and select “Notification of Each Deposit/Withdrawal,” select the email option, then

submit. This way, you will be notified of all future deposit and withdrawal transactions.

Our Right to Reject Deposits

We reserve the right to reject any Mobile Check Deposit, at any time, without any liability to you. In

addition, we may reject a Mobile Check Deposit even if it was initially accepted for processing. In the

event we determine to reject a Mobile Check Deposit, any amount that was provisionally added to your

account balance from that Mobile Check Deposit will be reversed. We reserve the right to accept a

Mobile Check Deposit for deposit or on a collection basis. We will not be liable to you for rejecting

a Mobile Check Deposit, even if it causes us to decline any transactions you have already made. You

agree that if we reject

a Mobile Check Deposit, you may need to contact the original drawer (maker) of the check and request a

replacement check.

Depositing Substitute Checks

A substitute check is a copy of a check that is the legal equivalent of the original check. When you make a

Mobile Check Deposit, if your deposited mobile check is returned to us unpaid, you may receive a

substitute check. If you deposit a substitute check and we suffer a loss, cost or expense as a result, you

will be held responsible to pay us that amount.

Security

You are responsible for protecting the device you use for mobile deposit (your Mobile Device) against

unauthorized use as well as any losses and damages from unauthorized access. You will protect your

Mobile Device, set up strong passwords and take other reasonable security precautions to protect your

Mobile Device from unauthorized use. We are not responsible or obligated for any of these security

precautions.

You will also: (1) keep your passwords secret and change them regularly; (2) limit access to your Mobile

Device and passwords to those who have a legitimate need for them; (3) supervise all people that you

allow to use the Mobile Check Deposit service; (4) regularly monitor access and use of the service,

including promptly reviewing your account statements; (5) tell us immediately when your Mobile Device

is lost or stolen or you believe there has been any unauthorized activity involving the service; and (6)

promptly change your passwords and remove anyone who is no longer authorized to use the service.

You agree that if another person uses the Mobile Check Deposit service with your Mobile Device, you will

be responsible for their actions on the account as well as anyone else they allow to use your Mobile

Device. This will be true even if you did not want, or agree to, their use.

By using the Mobile Check Deposit service, you accept the risk that a Picture may be intercepted or

misdirected during transmission. We bear no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or

misdirected Picture or any other information disclosed through such interception or misdirection.

Our Right to Charge Back

When you make a Mobile Check Deposit, we act only on your behalf. We try to identify and prevent

fraudulent transactions; however, we have no liability to you to determine if any check you deposit is

forged, counterfeit, altered, improperly endorsed or otherwise improper.

We have the right to charge back against your account(s) any Mobile Check Deposit you made if the paying

bank refuses to pay or honor the check (including any automated clearing house (ACH) transaction or

onetime electronic fund transfer we may have used to process the Mobile Check Deposit) for any reason.

If that happens, we will subtract the funds from your Account(s). We may also suspend your Account(s)

and place a hold on your funds if a Mobile Check Deposit is suspected to be unauthorized, fraudulent, or

uncollectible.

Errors

You agree to notify us of any suspected errors regarding checks deposited through the service right away,

and in no event later than [60] days after the applicable account statement is sent. Unless you notify us

within [60] days, such statement regarding all deposits made through the service shall be deemed correct,

and you are prohibited from bringing a claim against us for such alleged error.

Cooperation with Investigations

You agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions of

Pictures, and resolution of claims and disputes relating to or arising from Mobile Check Deposits, including

by providing, promptly upon request and at your own cost and expense, any originals or copies of checks

deposited through the service in your possession and your records relating to such checks and Picture

transmissions. This paragraph survives cancellation of the service for your Account and termination of

your Account(s).

User Warranties & Indemnification

In addition to the “Indemnification” provision in the Deposit Account Agreement, you will indemnify,

defend and hold us harmless for any loss or causes of action for your breach of any promises you make to

us in this Agreement or otherwise, as well as any warranty or indemnity we provide in connection with

the processing, collection, presentment for payment, return or re-presentment of a Picture or check

transmitted to us using the service.

In addition, you warrant to us that:

1. You will only submit Pictures that accurately represent all of the information on the front and

back of the original eligible checks as of the time you submit such Pictures to us.

2. You will only submit Pictures of eligible checks, not of any non-eligible checks.

3. You will not deposit or attempt to deposit, cash, or negotiate any original check with us or any

other financial institution, or give the original check to anyone else, after you submit a Picture of

the check to us.

4. You will inform every drawer (maker) of an eligible check you intend to deposit using the Mobile

Check Deposit service that the check may be processed as a one-time electronic fund transfer

(ACH) from the drawer's account.

The above warranties survive cancellation of the service for your Account and termination of your

Account(s).
