Product and Service Disclosure: We reserve the right to change the fees or other terms described in the Agreement at any time. This does not include any changes to your "Account Terms and Conditions" you received when opening your account. Changes in Account Terms will always be mailed to you at least 30 days in advance of the change. Any charges, fees or other terms changed that affect this Site will be posted at this Site.

NOTICE: All transactions conducted over eBank are considered by the federal government as electronic "telephonic" transfers and considered "third party transfers" and are limited in number per statement cycle (month) for certain accounts under the Federal Reserve Act (Reg D). Refer to the disclosure that details the transactions allowed under Reg D that you were provided upon opening of a savings, money market or tiered interest account.

Funds Availability: The following disclosure was provided to you upon opening a transaction (checking) account at First National Bank. This is also disclosed here to help you clearly understand when your funds are available after deposits are made when setting up a Bill Payment.

Your Ability To Withdraw Funds At First National Bank of Montana

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 cash or check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them 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 Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.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 Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.

If you make a deposit before deposit cut-off time on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after deposit cut-off time or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Deposit cut-off times vary somewhat by bank office, but are not earlier than 4:00 p.m.

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 one of your accounts. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

Longer Delays May Apply

Case-By-Case Delays - In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. The first $100 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first business day after the day of 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 first business 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.

You are responsible for reading and accepting the Electronic Disclosures. By completing the Internet Banking Application and using any or all Internet Banking Services (i.e., eBank, ePay Consumer, ePay Business, eCorp, etc.) you acknowledge that you have read and accepted these Disclosures in addition to disclosures provided at account opening.
