ATM FEE REIMBURSEMENT:
If you have met your qualifications for the monthly statement cycle, we will reimburse you for domestic ATM fees up to $4.99 per transaction for a maximum of $25.00 per monthly statement cycle. ATM Fee reimbursements will be credited to on the last day of your statement cycle in which you qualified. We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees based on estimates when the withdrawal information we received does not identify the ATM. If you believe that you have not been reimbursed the correct amount, please contact us. We will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive the transaction receipt within 60 calendar days of the withdrawal transaction. During any cycle that qualifications are not met, ATM fees are not refunded.

DEBIT CARD PROCESSING - POST/SETTLE:
Please note that transactions must post to and settle your account during the monthly qualification cycle. They may not be in a pending state to qualify as one of the qualifications. Transactions and activities may take one or more banking days from the date the transaction was made to post to and settle an account. The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM processed transactions, transfers between accounts, card purchases processed by merchants and received by our bank as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions and purchases made with debit cards not issued by our bank. Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards.

MONTHLY QUALIFICATION STATEMENT CYCLE:
Statements are processed monthly. Statements end on the 2nd calendar day of each month. "Monthly qualification Cycle" is the same as your monthly statement cycle. Regulation DD- An overdraft on the account may occur via check, in person withdrawal or electronic means. PURPOSE AND EXPECTED USE OF ACCOUNT:
This account is intended to be the accountholder's primary checking account in which payroll transactions and day-to-day spending activities. Commensurate with the spending activities, we expect the account's debit card to be used frequently throughout each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range. Small debit card transactions conducted on the same day at a single merchant and/or multiple transactions made during a condensed time period particularly near the end of a Monthly Qualification Cycle, are not considered normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transaction appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account's rewards and thus will be deemed inappropriate transactions and will not count toward earning the account's rewards. The State Bank reserves the right to determine if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day, primary use. Accountholders who persist in making debit card transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet their monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different checking account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account if the account does not have consistent active use over 3 consecutive statement Cycles. We have the right to close the account at any time, with proper notice. Upon termination of your Rewards Cash account, any addition or optional add-on products/services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.
