You agree that aggregation of any available balance or credit limit on nominated accounts is not possible when determining available balance or credit limit for the selected nominated account nominated. You acknowledge that third party organisations (such as merchants or other financial institutions) may impose additional restrictions on the amount of funds you may withdraw, deposit or transfer.

5. Internet payment of funds to other parties does not include an account name as this does not form part of the internet payment instructions and will not be checked. The account name will be disregarded and Heritage Isle Credit Union will rely solely on the account number, when processing the payment. The payer customer will be liable for loss if the funds are unable to be retrieved from a third party.

Payments

• Instructions requiring the payment of funds to other parties will not be acted upon if there are insufficient funds available in the selected nominated account either at the time you confirm the payment instructions or when we attempt to perform the payment in the course of our normal business procedures.

If you have made an error in the payment instruction you must contact us as soon as you realise the error, as well as, if applicable, contact the intended recipient of the funds, in an endeavour to correct the erroneous payment. We cannot warrant that a payment can be stopped or that the funds will not be appropriated prior to you taking action to correct the error. It is therefore imperative that payment instruction details are verified by you, prior to confirming the transaction.
