Improper POS or ATM Activity

Question: Is this transaction an Improper POS or an ATM?


Answer: Please read the information provided below. If you still are unsure, contact the Customer Care number located on the back of
your card. We will be happy to explain further.

Question: What is a POS transaction?


Answer: POS is an acronym for “Point of Sale. A Point of Sale transaction is one performed at a location where credit/debit card
transactions occur with the cardholder present, such as a retail store. The card is read magnetically and the cardholder's signature may
be obtained as insurance, or proof of authorization for the transaction.

Question: What is an ATM transaction?


Answer: ATM is an acronym for Automated Teller Machine. An ATM transaction is performed through an automated teller machine
(ATM) or money dispenser using your debit card and your secure personal identification number (PIN).

Question: What types of POS transactions would be considered improper?


Answer: Improper POS transactions are transactions authorized by you and considered improper because an error occurred. Some
of the most common reasons for a POS transaction to be deemed improper are listed below:

1. The merchant debited your account for an incorrect amount.


2. The merchant debited your account on a date other than the one you authorized.
3. The merchant debited your account too many times.
4. The merchant failed to send the merchandise or provide the service.
5. The merchandise was defective.
6. You received an incorrect amount from an ATM.

Question: Are there times when I would not file a formal notice of error and involve BankMobile?
Answer: Yes, of course. Many of the improper POS and ATM transactions can be resolved by contacting the merchant directly which
would not involve BankMobile. We would only become involved if the merchant was unresponsive. Even then, there may be times
when you would not contact BankMobile. Such as, when you are unhappy with the service or purchase, and yet, the reasons for your
dissatisfaction do not qualify as an error. We would recommend that you work with the merchant to resolve these issues.
For example:

1. When you authorized the transaction and are dissatisfied with the Quality of Service.
2. When you enter into a contract with the merchant and later wish to contest the terms of the contract.
3. When you authorized the purchase, received the product or service, and then experienced buyer’s remorse.
4. When you authorized the transaction in exchange for a gift or promotional offer and are unhappy with the agreement.

Question: I would like to report a transaction from an earlier statement. Is it too late?
Answer: MasterCard® rules and Regulation E provide for a specific window within which we can pursue a claim on your behalf. The
deadline for filing a claim is determined by the type of transaction in question. Card related claims may be initiated no more than
ninety (90) days from the date the transaction posted. Please refer to the date of the transaction to determine if your claim is timely.

Question: What is the first step in reporting a POS or an ATM transaction if I authorized it and disagree with certain aspects
of it?
Answer: If you authorized the transaction yet disagree with the amount or other aspects of it, we suggest that you first contact the
merchant to resolve the issue. If your attempt to resolve this with the merchant fails, you may initiate a formal claim with us.

Question: I contacted the merchant in an attempt to resolve the error. However, the merchant was not helpful. Now what?
Answer: The next step is to complete a written statement! If you have contacted the merchant and attempted to resolve the error
and are still dissatisfied, please continue with your claim. Complete the Written Statement on the following pages.
