1. DESCRIPTION OF YOUR ACCOUNT
A. The Account
The Account consists of a demand deposit account, which can be used to make payments and transfers to third parties online or through the use of the MyBambu Visa® Debit Card (“Card”) that is automatically issued with the Account. The Account does not provide a checkbook to write paper checks from the Account.
Your Account is a non-interest bearing account, meaning no interest will be paid to you for the funds that you deposit, otherwise receive, or maintain in your Account through use of the services. Your Account is not a prepaid account or credit product.
You agree to pay the fees as shown on the Fee Schedule in Section 7 (Fees) below.
The funds associated with your Account are held in a pooled deposit account at the Bank, and your funds in this pooled deposit account may be combined with the funds of other MyBambu Account holders.
You will be able to use the MyBambu mobile application (the “Mobile App”) to view the available balance in your Account, which is the total amount of funds in your Account. Funds associated with your Account that are in transit and have not settled with the Bank may not be available for withdrawal until the funds settle with the Bank. We reserve the right to impose limits on the maximum amount that you can maintain in, or transact with, your Account and reserve the right to change such limits at any time. Please see Section 2(C) below for maximum balance restrictions and transaction limitations.
B. Opening an Account
You may submit an application to open an Account by using the Mobile App.
C. Account Eligibility
The Account is available to consumers who are citizens of the United States (“U.S.”) or persons who reside in the U.S. and the District of Columbia, who are at least 18 years of age. We will ask for your name, address and date of birth, a valid Social Security number (“SSN”) if you are a U.S. citizen, or an Individual Tax Identification Number (“ITIN”), and we will ask for certain other U.S. or foreign government issued identification documents and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other U.S. or foreign government documentation bearing your photo as verification of your identity, which may include other identifying documents. By applying for and using your Account, Card or participating in the MyBambu Account program you agree and represent that the information and statements you provide us are true and accurate, including, but not limited to, your real name, valid U.S. mailing address (not a P.O. Box) and residential address (if different), SSN, other identification documentation, date of birth, and telephone number and that you are a U.S. citizen, or non-U.S. person residing in one of the 50 states or the District of Columbia. If you fail to provide accurate information that we request, we may not open your Account, close your Account, or cancel your Card.
You must consent to accept electronic communications, rather than paper communications. Your consent to receive electronic communications means: you shall receive electronic delivery of all account communications (such as periodic statements, end-of-year tax forms and other account communications required by applicable law), instead of receiving such communications in paper form. You must provide us, and continue to maintain with us, a valid e-mail address to which we will send such electronic account communications to you. If you revoke your consent to receive all electronic communications from us, your Account will be closed.
Program Manager may use information from third parties to help Bank determine if Program Manager should open your Account.
D. Important information about procedures for opening a new Account
TO HELP THE GOVERNMENT FIGHT THE FUNDING OF TERRORISM AND MONEY LAUNDERING ACTIVITIES, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES ALL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO OBTAIN, VERIFY, AND RECORD INFORMATION THAT IDENTIFIES EACH PERSON WHO OPENS AN ACCOUNT.

Actual insured amounts may be lower or adversely affected based on any balances you separately hold at a Network Bank.
You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits (including non-MyBambu Visa® Debit Card accounts) held by you at Bank and at any Network Bank for purposes of determining the amount of your deposits that may be eligible for FDIC deposit insurance.

Use of the Account is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other association involved in transactions. Neither Bank nor Program Manager waives its rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected.
Your Account is not intended for business use, and we may close the Account if we determine it is being used for business purposes. Bank may refuse to process any transaction(s) that it believes may violate the terms of this Agreement or applicable law.
B. Funding Your Account

You may not deposit funds in any non-Allpoint® ATMs or at any of our branch locations. Funds deposited to your Account are available as described in the General Funds Availability Policy in Section 5 below.

If funds are deposited or transferred into your Account by mistake or otherwise, Bank may correct the situation by deducting the amount of the deposit from your Account without prior notice to you. If there are not enough funds in your Account at that time, your Account could become overdrawn.

If the available balance in your Account is insufficient to cover any payment or withdrawal you have authorized, the payment or withdrawal you have requested can be declined. If your Account balance becomes negative for any reason, you must make a deposit immediately to cover the negative balance. Any deposit we receive to your Account will first be applied to any negative balance in your Account.
If your Account has a negative balance for an extended period of time and you have another account with Bank, Bank reserves the right to exercise the right to set off. See Section 2(F) (Right to Set Off) below for details.
If your Account has a negative balance for sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or more, it may be closed. We reserve the right to close your Account if you overdraw your Account in violation of these terms.
F. Right to Set Off
If your Account balance becomes and remains negative, Bank can use the funds in any of your other accounts with Bank to repay the amount owed on the negative balance Account without further notice to or demand on you.

Further, you grant Bank a lien on and security interest in the funds on deposit in each of your account(s) as security for the entirety of your liabilities and obligations to Bank, now or in the future.

H. Legal Processes Affecting Accounts

You may use the Card to purchase goods or services everywhere Visa debit or Maestro network cards are accepted.
Each time you use the Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in the Account by the amount of the transaction and applicable fees.

With the PIN, you may use your Card to withdraw cash from your Account at any ATM or Point-of-Sale device (if cash-back functionality is made available by the merchant) that bears the Visa or Maestro Network acceptance marks. All ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions.
We participate in the Allpoint® ATM network. When you use the Allpoint® ATM network you will not be charged a fee for a cash withdrawal or a balance inquiry whether or not you complete a cash withdrawal. When you use a non-Allpoint® ATM (“out of network ATM”) you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator, and you may also be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a cash withdrawal. Such fee is a third-party fee assessed by the individual ATM operator only and is not assessed by us. The out of network ATM fee will be charged to your Account.
You may not withdraw funds at a participating financial institution (“Over the Counter” or “OTC” withdrawals).
E. Authorized Card Transactions
You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated by use of your Card. If you permit another person to have access to your Card, we will treat this as if you have authorized any use of your Card by that person, and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by that person.
F. Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies
If you use the Card to make purchases or obtain cash in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar, the amount deducted from the available balance in your Account will be converted by Visa into an amount in U.S. Dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the U.S. Dollar used to process such Card transactions is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate that Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the available central processing date.
You will be charged a fee for any transactions conducted in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, as set forth in Section 7 (Fees). If such a transaction results in a credit due to a return, we will not refund any fee that may have been charged on your original purchase.

B. Preauthorized Transfers (Recurring Payment)
Right to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers and Procedure for Doing So
If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of the Account (“recurring payments”), you can stop any of these payments.

Box 171 West Palm Beach, FL 33402, in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.

Such a stop payment request will also cancel all future payments for the recurring transaction to which the stop payment request relates, unless you authorize the recurring transaction again with the merchant.
Notice of Varying Amounts
If recurring payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay is required to 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 you set.
Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer
If you order us to stop one of these recurring payments 3 business days or more before the recurring payment is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
C. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
If you believe your Card, PIN or Account number has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission email the Program Manager at [email protected], call the Program Manager at (833) 882-2628 or write to the Program Manager, at Bambu Systems, LLC, at P.O. Box 171 West Palm Beach, FL 33402 IMMEDIATELY. Contacting us by the methods described here is the best way to keep your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account.
If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if you someone used your Card or PIN without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card or PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transactions that you did not make, including those made by your Card, PIN, account number or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was made available to you, you may not get any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove 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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
If your Card, PIN or Account number has been lost or stolen, we may close your Card number, deactivate your PIN or Account number, and issue you a new Card number, PIN or Account number (as applicable).
If we change your Account number or Card number, you must immediately notify your employer or merchants of your new Card number or Account number to ensure your direct deposit, ACH Debit and recurring Card transactions continue uninterrupted.
Your Liability for Unauthorized MyBambu Visa® Debit Card Transfers
Under Visa’s Zero Liability Policy, your liability for unauthorized transactions using your Card is $0.00 if you are not negligent or fraudulent in the handling of the Card. This reduced liability does not apply to certain commercial card transactions, transactions not processed by Visa, or to anonymous prepaid cards (until such time as the identity of the cardholder has been registered with us). The reduced liability policy also does not apply if you wait more than 60 days to report an unauthorized transaction after the statement showing the unauthorized transaction is made available to you.
D. Bank’s or Program Manager’s Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
If a transaction is not properly completed from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available in your Account to complete the transaction;
- If a merchant refuses to accept the Card or Account number;
- If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
- If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
- If access to your Card has been blocked after you reported your Card or Access Code(s) (“Access Code” includes your user ID(s), password(s), PIN(s), and any other access code or credential related to your Account) is lost or stolen
- If there is a hold on your funds, or your funds are subject to Legal Process, administrative process, or other encumbrance restricting their use;
- If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
- Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.
E. Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, send an email to the Program Manager at [email protected], call the Program Manager at (833) 882-2628 or write to the Program Manager, at Bambu Systems, LLC, at P.O. Box 171 West Palm Beach, FL 33402 as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the FIRST statement was made available to you on which the problem or error appeared. You need to tell us:
- Your name, Account number and email address associated with your Account (if any);
- A description of the error or transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and
- The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you provide this information verbally, we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Account.
For errors involving new Accounts, point-of-sale transactions or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation by contacting Customer Service.
F. Services not Covered by this Part
Electronic Fund Transfer Services described in this Section 4 do not include wire transfers, and any other transactions that are not covered by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and its accompanying Regulation E.
5. GENERAL FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY
Information contained in this Section 5 is provided to assist you in understanding our Funds Availability Policy. We make funds available according to the type of deposit and when the funds are applied or credited to the Account. The funds availability policy for deposits not discussed in this section may be covered under a separate agreement. Some types of deposits may not be available for immediate use. When we delay the availability of funds or place a hold on a deposit made to the Account, you may not withdraw those funds, and we will not use them to pay any debits, such as ACH transfers, payments or transactions using a Card during the hold period. We have the right to refuse any deposit.
If final payment is not received on any item deposited into the Account, or if any direct deposit, or ACH transfer credit is returned to us for any reason, you agree to pay us the amount of the returned item.
If funds are received through the Automated Clearing House (ACH), then any credit given by us for such funds will be provisional until the Bank receives final settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank or has otherwise received payment as provided under Section 4A-403(a) of New York’s Uniform Commercial Code. Notice to you of such ACH credits will be provided through the Mobile App, or on your periodic statement. If the Bank does not receive final settlement or payment of an ACH credit, then we are entitled to recover from you the amount of the provisional credit and the person or entity making that ACH payment will not be considered to have paid that amount to you.
AVAILABILITY
The length of delay in the availability of funds varies depending on the type of deposit.
BUSINESS DAYS
The length of the delay in the availability of funds is counted in business days from the day your deposit is applied to your Account. For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Federal holidays are not included. Deposits received by 11:59 PM ET will be considered current-day deposits. Any deposits received after that time will be processed the following business day.
A. Electronic ACH Same Day Availability
Funds received from preauthorized electronic payments such as payroll direct deposits, or other preauthorized electronic payments, will be available on the day the deposit is applied to your Account.
ACH Credits received from an external bank account will be applied to the Account when Bank or Program Manager has verified the external account and received payment on collected funds. Once the funds are applied to the Account, they will have same-day availability.
B. Electronic ACH Longer Availability
Electronic transfers deposited into the Account initiated externally may take up to five (5) business days from the date of the initial request but will post on the payment date of the deposit once the money has reached the Bank and/or Program Manager.

9. ARBITRATION
THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES ALL DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY WAY OF BINDING ARBITRATION (“ARBITRATION PROVISION”).
Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all Claims (defined below) arising out of or related to this Agreement as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or any aspect of the relationship between you and Bank (or Program Manager), or any of their agents, contractors or retailers, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you agree that Bank and Program Manager and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement.
“Claim” includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims, claims based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional torts, consumer rights, statutes, regulations, ordinances, common law and equity, and claims which arose before the date of this Agreement. The term “Claim” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, by way of example and without limitation, any claim, dispute or controversy that arises from or relates to (i) your Card or Account; (ii) the amount of available funds on the Account; (iii) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to the Card or Account, or goods or services purchased with the Card or the Account; (iv) the benefits and services related to the Card or the Account; (v) data breach or privacy claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to our disclosure of any non-public personal information about you; (vi) collection of any debt and the manner of collection; and (vii) your enrollment for your Account or Card.
We shall not elect to use arbitration under the Arbitration Provision for any individual Claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court of your state or municipality so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court; any Claim that is appealed, transferred or removed from that court shall be subject to arbitration. Also, “Claim” does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage, or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof; all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Claim” includes any dispute about the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole; any such Claim is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any Claim later asserted by a party in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a Claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, representative or multi-party basis).
The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at: https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by Bank or Program Manager that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against Bank or Program Manager for you.
If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such a finding shall not invalidate any remaining portion of this Arbitration Provision, this Agreement, or any other agreement entered into by you with us. However, notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision or this Agreement to the contrary, the Class Action Waiver is not severable from the remainder of this Arbitration Provision and, in the event that the Class Action Waiver is held to be invalid and unenforceable, and subject to any right of appeal that may exist with respect to such determination, any class action or representative proceeding shall be determined in a court of law and will not be subject to this Arbitration Provision.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, DO NOT USE THE ACCOUNT, NOTIFY US BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO THE PROGRAM MANAGER AT [email protected], CALLING THE PROGRAM MANAGER AT (833) 882-2628 OR WRITING TO THE PROGRAM MANAGER, AT BAMBU SYSTEMS, LLC, AT P.O. BOX 171 WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33402 TO CLOSE THE ACCOUNT.
