ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
Agreement to Arbitrate This section is referred to as the Arbitration Agreement. If you have a dispute with any Indemnified Party, and are not able to resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that upon demand by either you or the Indemnified Party, the dispute will be resolved through the arbitration process as set forth in this section.
Arbitration You agree that if you have a dispute or claim that has arisen or may arise between you and the Bank or any other Indemnified Party, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), your Account and services provided under this Agreement, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, and you are not able to resolve the dispute or claim informally, you and we agree that upon demand by either you or the Indemnified Party, the dispute or claim will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and the Bank are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Parties Subject to this Arbitration Agreement This Arbitration Agreement applies whenever there is a claim between you and us. If a third party, such as an Indemnified Party other than the Bank, is also involved in a claim between you and us, or if a dispute arises between you and an Indemnified Party other than the Bank relating to this Agreement or your Account, then the claim will be decided with respect to the third party in arbitration as well, in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, and it must be named as a party in accordance with the rules of procedure governing the arbitration. No award or relief will be granted by the arbitrator except on behalf of, or against, a named party.
Exclusions You and we retain the right to pursue in small claims court (or an equivalent state court) any dispute that is within that court’s jurisdiction, so long as the disputes remain in such court and advance only an individual claim for relief. If either you or we fail to submit to binding arbitration of an arbitrable dispute following lawful demand, the party so failing shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the other in compelling arbitration.
Your Right to Opt Out If you do not want this Arbitration Agreement to apply to you or your Account, you may opt out by sending us written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the opening of your Account. Such notice must clearly state that you wish to cancel or opt out of the Arbitration Agreement section of this Agreement. It should include your name, address, and your signature and must be mailed to Cross River Bank, Attn: Legal Department, 400 Kelby Street, 14th Floor, Fort Lee, NJ 07024. This is the sole and only method by which you can opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Your exercise of the right to opt-out will not affect any remaining terms of this Agreement and will not result in any adverse consequence to you or your Account. You agree that our business records will be final and conclusive evidence with respect to whether you cancelled or opted out of this Arbitration Agreement in a timely and proper fashion.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE BANK OR INDEMNIFIED PARTY ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE BANK AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution The Bank and Indemnified Parties are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support using the contact information above. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Bank or Indemnified Party should be sent to Cross River Bank at Cross River Bank, Attn: Legal Department, 400 Kelby Street, 14th Floor, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If you do not resolve the claim with the Bank or Indemnified Party within 60 calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Bank or Indemnified Party, as applicable, may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by any party will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Bank is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (AAA) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the AAA Rules), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of the Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless the parties to the arbitration agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the Arbitration Fees) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, the Bank will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, the Bank will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Bank will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Bank makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Bank Products, you may reject any such change by sending the Bank written notice within 30 calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Agreement).
IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACTIVATE OR USE ANY CARD OR THE ACCOUNT. CALL 1-855-733-3683 TO CLOSE THE ACCOUNT AND REQUEST A REFUND, IF APPLICABLE. THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY TRIAL BY JURY.

We will also ask for other information related to the business entity, and Authorized Signers. If we are not able to validate the identity or authenticity of the Account Owner or the business entity to our satisfaction, we may not open the Account.

If there are not enough funds in the Account at that time, the Account could become overdrawn. See the section below titled “No Overdrafts” for more information about what occurs if the Account has a negative balance.
8. Check Writing Services
Checks are not permitted to be written on this Account. Any check you write will be returned unpaid, even if you have enough money in your account.
9. No Overdrafts
The Account will not be overdrawn by you. If the available balance in the Account is insufficient to cover any authorized payment, withdrawal, or check, we can refuse to honor the payment, withdrawal, or check. If the Account balance should become negative for any reason, a deposit or deposits must be immediately made to cover the negative balance. If the Account has a negative balance for sixty (60) calendar days it will be closed.
10. Unauthorized or Incorrect Debits from the Account
Cross River Bank must be notified no later than 2:30 PM ET on the business day following the date of an unauthorized ACH debit or a debit by check is made to the Account in order for the debit to be returned to the originator. If we are notified after this deadline, we may be unable to return the item; Customer may be responsible for the losses it incurs. To provide notice of an unauthorized or incorrect debit from the Account, please call Cross River Bank at 1-855-733-3683.
11. Levies, Garnishments, and other Legal Processes
If the Account becomes subject to legal action, such as a tax levy or third-party garnishment, we reserve the right to refuse to pay any money from the Account, including checks, ACH debits, debit Card transactions, or other items presented for payment, until the action is resolved. If we are required to pay an attachment, garnishment or tax levy, we are not liable to Customer. Payment is made after satisfying any fees, charges or other debts owed to us. Until we receive the appropriate court documents, we may continue to process transactions against the Account, even if we have received an unofficial notification of an adverse claim. Customer will indemnify us for any losses if we do this.
12. Account Dormancy and Escheatment
If the Account is inactive for a period of time it may be considered dormant and subject to escheatment. Each state has varying laws as to when the Account will be subject to escheatment and we may be required to send the balance in the Account to the state of Customer’s last known address. We will make all reasonable efforts to contact Customer before transferring the remaining balance of the Account to the applicable state. If the Account has an international address, the funds will be transferred to the State of New Jersey.
13. Periodic Statements
Periodic statements for the Account will be available to Customer each month for viewing electronically, and are deemed delivered once notification is sent to Customer’s email address. Carefully review Customer’s statement each statement period and notify us of any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of the statement becoming available.

Restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through the Account as required by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and Regulation GG. A restricted transaction is a transaction or transmittal involving any credit, funds, instrument, or proceeds in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. When the Bank has actual knowledge of Customer participating in restricted transactions, the Bank may use its judgment to deny access to and/or close the Account.

If You travel and/or use Your Card outside of the United States, there will be an international service fee added to Your overall transaction. The International Service Assessment is equal to 1% of the transaction. If the transaction is done online, Visa will use the merchant’s country code when determining if this fee will be charged.

The terms are used here as they are defined in Article 4A of the UCC titled “Funds Transfers” as adopted by the state whose law applies to the account for which the funds transfer service is provided. In general, a funds transfer is the process of carrying out payment orders that lead to paying a beneficiary. The payment order is the set of instructions given to the Bank to transfer funds. The beneficiary is the person or business who received the payment.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as the Wire Transfer Agreement, Customer hereby authorizes the Bank and the Bank hereby agrees to honor, execute and charge to the Account all telephonic or online requests, if online service is available, by Authorized Signers for the Wire Transfer of funds.
1. Fedwire/Wire Transfers
Fedwire is the electronic funds transfer system of the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks. When a payment order is sent or a funds transfer received, we or other banks involved in the funds transfer may use Fedwire. If any part of a funds transfer is carried out by Fedwire, the transfer is governed by Regulation J of the Federal Reserve Board.
2. Cutoff Times
We have cutoff times for processing payment orders. If the Bank received Customer’s payment order after 3:00 pm ET, Monday through Friday or a federal holiday, it may be processed on the next funds-transfer business day.
For incoming wire payments to the Customer, if the payment is received after 5:00 pm ET, Monday through Friday or a federal holiday, it will be processed as soon as possible and funds made available during the next business day.
3. Security Procedures
An Authorized Representative giving the Bank a Wire Transfer instruction or the Customer will receive a call back from the Bank’s Wire department to confirm authenticity and verification of Wire instructions. Customer further agrees to comply with any other security procedures that the Bank adopts now or in the future for initiation of Wire Transfers (“Security Procedures”). You agree that any and all users of the Account are Authorized Representatives with the authority and power to use the Account and its features such as wire or ACH services. In addition, you assume full responsibility for the consequences of any misuse or unauthorized use of or access to the Account or disclosure of any confidential information or instructions of yours by your employees, agents, or other third parties.
You authorize us to follow any and all instructions entered and transactions initiated using applicable Security Procedures and acknowledge and agree to be bound by any and all actions (“Entries”) initiated through the use of such Security Procedures, whether authorized or unauthorized, and by any and all transactions and activity otherwise initiated by you, to the fullest extent allowed by law. You further acknowledge and agree that the Security Procedures are not designed to detect error in the transmission or content of communications or Entries initiated by you and that you bear sole responsibility for detecting and preventing such error.
You agree to keep all Security Procedures and Security Devices protected, secure, and strictly confidential and to provide or make available the same only to your customers, to the extent applicable. You agree to notify us immediately, according to notification procedures prescribed by us, if you believe that any Security Procedures or Security Device has been stolen, compromised, or otherwise become known to persons other than you or your customer or if you believe that any transaction or activity is unauthorized or in error.
We reserve the right to modify, amend, supplement, or cancel any or all Security Procedures, or to cancel or replace any Security Device, at any time in our discretion. We will endeavor to give you reasonable notice of any change in Security Procedures; provided that we may make any change in Security Procedures without advance notice to you if we, in our judgment and discretion, believe such change to be necessary or desirable to protect the security of our systems and assets. Your implementation and use of any changed Security Procedures after any change in Security Procedures shall constitute your agreement to the change and your agreement that the applicable Security Procedures, as changed, are commercially reasonable and adequate for the purposes intended.
4. Requesting a Wire Transfer
You must designate the Account from which the wire is to be made; the name of the payee, the payee’s account number, the payee’s address, and the receiving bank information, including: ABA number, bank name, and address. If you provide both the account name and account number for the account to receive the wire transfer, we will have no liability to you as long as the wire transfer proceeds are credited to the account number provided, even if the name associated with such account is not the same as the name you provide. Wires will be processed by the Bank periodically throughout the business day.
5. Amending or Canceling Wire Transfers
Customer may only amend or cancel a payment order prior to the funds transfer being sent by the Bank. The Bank may make a reasonable effort to act on such amend/cancel requests, but the Bank is not liable to Customer if, for any reason, a payment order is not amended or cancelled. Customer agrees to reimburse the Bank for any costs, losses or damages incurred in connection with such request to amend or cancel a payment order.
6. Inconsistency of Name or Number
When receiving a payment order, payment may be made by the Bank, or by other banks, to which the payment order is forwarded, based solely on the account number even if the account number identified a beneficiary different from the beneficiary named by the originator of the payment order. Furthermore, when receiving a payment order, we may rely, and any other banks to which the payment order is forwarded may rely, on the bank identification number provided in the payment order even if the identification number identifies a bank different from the bank named by the originator of the payment order.

Notify Cross River Bank at once if a funds transfer shown on Customer’s statement or notice appears to be incorrect.

Under the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), which sets the rules for Account ACH transactions, we are not required to give next-day notice of receipt of an ACH item, and we will not do so. However, we will continue to notify Customer of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements.
5. Choice of Law Disclosure
Because the Account is a business account and not for personal, family or household use, these payments are not subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. Customer’s rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Delaware as provided by the operating rules of NACHA, which are applicable to ACH transactions involving the Account.
6. Types of Electronic Funds Transfers Available
- Customer may arrange with another party to electronically deposit funds on a one-time or recurring basis directly to the Account.
- Customer may authorize another party, such as a Merchant, to make a one-time or recurring payment(s) using the Account and bank routing numbers, directly from the Account subject to the established limitations on withdrawals and transfers.
7. Direct Deposits or Automated Credits
If Customer has arranged to have direct deposits made to the Account at least once every sixty (60) days from the same person or company, Customer may call 1-855-733-3683 to find out if the deposit has been made.
8. How to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfers
A scheduled one-time preauthorized transfer, over the phone or recurring preauthorized transfers using a written authorization form, may be stopped as follows:
If Customer authorized a one-time or recurring payments out of the Account, such payments may be stopped by notifying Cross River Bank by email at support@crossriver.com or calling 1-855-733-3683. If you notify us by telephone, email, or the Cross River Bank Website and/or Mobile App, you may be required to confirm the information provided by writing to us at:
Cross River Bank 885 Teaneck Road Teaneck, NJ 07666
Stop payment requests must include the Account number, the name of the payee, the amount of the item to be stopped, and the date payment was scheduled to be made. Customer must indicate if its intention is to stop only one instance, more than one instance. The request needs to be received by us three (3) or more business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. Oral requests not confirmed in writing to us within 14 days are not binding upon the Bank.
Additionally, to permanently revoke a recurring preauthorized electronic transfer, Customer will need to first instruct the originating third party to cancel the applicable preauthorized transfer using whatever methods the originating third party requires. We may ask Customer to provide us with evidence of such revocation and sign an Affidavit of “Authorization Revoked/Stop All Payments” request with us.
9. Stop-Payment Liability
If Customer orders us to stop payment on any preauthorized transfer according to the requirements above and we fail to do so, we will be liable to Customer for any proven loss or damages, unless:
- Customer failed to give us enough information, proper instructions or sufficient time to act on the stop- payment; or
- We do not receive written confirmation of Customer’s telephone or electronic message request to stop payment within fourteen (14) calendar days, and the preauthorized transfer occurs after the fourteenth (14th) calendar days.
In any case, we will only be liable for actual proven damages if the failure to stop such(s) transaction resulted from a bona fide error on our part. If we pay a preauthorized transfer over a valid and timely stop order, we may re-credit the Account. If we do this, Customer agrees to sign a statement describing the dispute with the payee. Customer agrees to transfer to us all its rights against the payee. In addition, Customer agrees to assist us in any legal action taken against the payee.
10. Disputing Transactions
Electronic transfers made from an account used for business purposes, regardless of account ownership, are not subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E. In the case of a discrepancy or questions about electronic transaction(s), call 1-855-733-3683, or send an email to support@biz.crossriver.com as soon as possible.
Customer must notify Cross River Bank to return any unauthorized ACH Debit entry by 2:30 PM ET. If we are not timely notified of an unauthorized ACH Debit entry, we will not be able to return the item without the cooperation and agreement of the originating bank and the originator of the debit entry. Any other effort to recover the funds must occur solely between Customer and the originator of the entry.
11. Confidentiality

I. EXPEDITED FUNDS AVAILABILITY
Our general policy is to allow you to withdraw funds deposited in an account on the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Funds from electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. In some cases, we may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the second Business Day after the day of deposit. Our complete policy is summarized below. For purposes of this disclosure, the terms “you”/“your” refer to the customer and the terms “our”/“we”/“us” refer to Cross River. The term “account” includes any checking account, savings account, or other like arrangement established for business purposes.
1. Determining the Availability of Your Deposit
The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for items you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit.

For the purposes of Funds Availability, the term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday, and the term “Banking Day” means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions. If you make a deposit before the close of business 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 the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.
3.Same-Day Availability
Funds from wire transfers and electronic direct deposits made to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit.
4. Longer Delays May Apply
We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any reason, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh Business Day after the day of your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
