I. Deposit Agreement and Disclosures
Our Agreement
This agreement outlines the Deposit Account Agreement (the “Agreement”) related to the demand deposit account (“Account”, “Spending Account,” or “Booyah Spending Account”) available from Surety Bank, Deland, Florida, member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) (“Surety Bank” or “Bank”) on behalf of NYMBUS Inc., the program partner responsible for managing the Booyah Spending Account (“Booyah”). “We”, “our”, and “us” refer to the Bank, Booyah, our successors, affiliates, or assignees. “You”, “your”, “customer” and “Booyah Accountholder” refer to the owner of the Spending Account.
You may open the Spending Account at the Booyah website (the “Website”) by visiting booyahbank.com or by using the Booyah mobile banking application (the “Mobile App”). The Spending Account is not designed for business use, and we may close the Spending Account if we determine it is being used for business purposes. We may refuse to process any transaction(s) that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement.
Business Days
Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, even if we are open. Any references to “days” found in this Agreement are calendar days unless indicated otherwise.
Account Basics
Who is Eligible for a Spending Account
- The Spending Account is available to citizens and permanent residents of the fifty (50) United States (“U.S.”) and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years of age with a valid Social Security number. You must agree to accept electronic, rather than paper statements – this means; (i) you must agree to the terms of the Booyah Electronic Disclosures Consent Agreement; (ii) you must keep us supplied with your valid, current email address; and (iii) you must agree to accept electronic delivery of all account communications (such as end-of-year tax forms and electronic statements).
- We may use information from third parties to help us determine if we should open your Spending Account.
Opening an Account
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. What this means for you: When you open an Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
The Spending Account
Consists of the online transaction demand deposit account used to make payments and transfers to third parties online or through the use of a Booyah Discover® Debit Card (“Debit Card”) that is automatically issued with the Account.
Account Titling and Ownership
The Spending Account may be owned and titled in the name of one owner who may deposit, transfer, or withdraw funds. The Spending Account cannot be owned or titled by an organization, as Payable on Death (“POD”) or “In Trust For” (“ITF”).
Death or Incapacitation
You or your appointed party, designee, or appointed individual agree to notify us promptly if you die or become legally incapacitated. We will continue to accept deposits and process transaction instructions into and from your Spending Account until we are: (a) notified of your death or adjudication of incompetency and (b) have a reasonable opportunity to act. You agree that, even if we have knowledge of your death we may pay or process transactions on your Spending Account on or before the date of death for up to ten (10) days after that date unless ordered to stop payment by someone claiming interest in the Spending Account. We may require additional documentation to confirm any claims made on the Spending Account.
Power of Attorney
You may give another person authority to make transactions on your Spending Account by giving power of attorney to another individual. The account owner and person executing power of attorney over a deposit account is known as the “Principal.” The person granted power of attorney for the Principal is known as the “Agent.” We may refuse to accept a power of attorney for reasonable cause, and we may require the Agent to sign an affidavit stating that the power of attorney presented to us is a true copy and that, to the best of the Agent’s knowledge, the Principal continues to be alive and competent and that the relevant powers of the Agent have not been amended or terminated. The Principal is responsible to provide us with any information if an affidavit presented to us is untrue or misleading or if the Agent exceeds the authority granted by the Principal in the power of attorney. The Agent is required to notify us in writing if the Principal dies or is declared incompetent. The power of attorney will continue in force until a) we receive written revocation from the Principal; b) we receive written notification of the Principal’s death, or c) we receive written notification of the death or incapacity of the Agent.

Overpayments and Reversals
If funds are deposited or transferred into your Spending Account by mistake or otherwise, we may correct the situation by deducting the amount of the deposit from your Spending Account without prior notice to you. If there are not enough funds in your Spending Account at that time, your Spending Account could become overdrawn. See Section I (C)(6) “No Overdrafts” and Section I (C)(7) “Right to Set Off” for more information about what may occur if your Spending Account has a negative balance.

You are not permitted to overdraw your Spending Account. If the available balance in your Spending Account is not sufficient to cover any payment or withdrawal you have authorized, we can refuse to process the payment or withdrawal. If your Spending Account balance becomes negative for any reason, you must make a deposit immediately to cover the negative balance. If your Spending Account has a negative balance for fifteen (15) days and you have another account with us, we reserve the right to exercise our right to set off.

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

We will not contest on your behalf any such Legal Process and may take action to comply with such Legal Process as we determine to be appropriate in the circumstances without liability to you, even if any funds we may be required to pay out leaves insufficient funds to pay a transaction that you have authorized. Payment is made after satisfying any fees, charges or other debts owed to us.

(a) Withdraw cash from your Spending Account(s) at an ATM.
Pay for purchases in person, online, or by phone.

If you make a purchase or withdraw cash using your Debit Card in a foreign currency, we will convert it to U.S. dollars using conversion rates sourced from one of the following methods: a government-mandated rate, a government-published rate or an interbank or wholesale exchange rate, depending on the country and currency in which the transaction is made. We use the rate in effect on the conversion date for the transaction. This rate may be different than the rate in effect on the transaction date. “Interbank or wholesale exchange rate” means the foreign exchange rate that banks charge each other when buying and selling currencies. No foreign transaction fees shall be charged.
(c) ATM Fees
We will not charge a fee for using an out of network ATM. However, when you initiate a transaction with your Debit Card at an ATM not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used for your transaction, including balance inquiries.

Your request to stop payment must be received at least three (3) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made.

a. Zero Liability for Unauthorized Card Sales on Consumer Debit Cards
Under Discover Inc. Operating Regulations, your liability for unauthorized Discover Debit Card transactions on your Booyah account is $0.00. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. This reduced liability is contingent on the following:
- It is reasonably determined that an unauthorized transaction was caused by the gross negligence or fraudulent action of the Booyah Accountholder, which may include your failure to report unauthorized transactions or the loss or theft of a Card within two Banking Days after you learn of the first unauthorized transaction or of the loss or theft of the Card;
- More than two unauthorized transactions have been reported within the last 12 months; or
- It is reasonably determined that the Booyah Account holder has derived a benefit from the unauthorized use of the Card.
Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedures stated in Section II (B), “Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors”. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after you become aware of the transaction(s) and/or the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any of the value you lost after the sixty (60) days if we could have stopped someone from taking value if you had notified us sooner. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we may agree to extend the relevant time periods. If your Debit Card, PIN or Spending Account number has been lost or stolen, we will close your Debit Card and/or Booyah Account to keep losses down and send you a replacement Debit Card and/or Spending Account number.
If your Spending Account changes you must immediately notify your employer or any other payors or merchants. You must provide them with your new Booyah Account number to ensure that your direct deposit and/or ACH Debit activity continues uninterrupted.
Our Liability for Failure To Complete Transactions
If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Spending Account or Debit Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your actual and verifiable 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 Spending Account to complete the transaction;
- If a Merchant refuses to accept your Debit Card or Spending 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;
- If access to your Debit Card or Spending Account has been blocked after you reported your Debit Card or Spending Account number lost or stolen;
- If there is a hold or your funds are subject to legal or 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

III. Mobile Check Deposit
Description of Service and Consent
Mobile check deposit (“Mobile Deposit”) allows you to make deposits to your Spending Account remotely by using the Mobile App to take a legible picture of the front and back of the negotiable check(s) and transmitting images of such instruments to us in compliance with our requirements (“Check Image(s)”). If the Check Image is accepted for deposit, Booyah will notify you electronically through the communication method(s) you have elected as preference (“Electronic Notice”). The Bank will then attempt to collect the item by presenting the image or converting the image into a digital representation of the original check (“Substitute Check”). Unlike traditional check deposits, you retain the original paper check when you use Mobile Deposit. See Section III(9), “Retention of Original Check” for retention requirements. The manner in which Substitute Checks are cleared, presented for payment and deposited will be determined by the Bank, in our sole discretion. Booyah, acting as an agent of the Bank, may change, modify, add or remove functionality from Mobile Deposit at any time, with or without notice to you.

Booyah, acting as an agent of the Bank, will determine whether you are eligible for the Mobile Deposit feature at its discretion or at the request of the Bank. Booyah may suspend or terminate your use of Mobile Deposit at any time and without prior notice to you. If you violate the terms of Mobile Deposit, such actions may be used as a basis to terminate your Spending Account.
Mobile Deposit Technical Requirements
In order to use Mobile Deposit, you must have an Apple iOS or Android smartphone capable of installing and running the Booyah Mobile App (see relevant app store details for specific hardware and OS requirements) that is additionally equipped with a camera capable of taking photos with at least a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels (“2 Megapixels”).
Fees
There is no fee for depositing a check via Mobile Deposit. In the event that a check you deposit using Mobile Deposit is returned by the bank upon which it was drawn (for any reason), there may be a fee of $25.00 charged by Booyah. Please note that your mobile carrier may charge you for sending and receiving data to upload Check Images using the Mobile App. Please check your mobile service agreement for details on applicable fees.

Prohibited Checks

- You agree that you will not scan and attempt to deposit any of the following:
- Checks payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., third party checks);
- Checks payable jointly to you and any other person (i.e. made out to ‘John *and* Jane Doe’)
- Checks containing alterations, illegible items, fraudulent checks, or checks that you should have known or have reason to believe were fraudulent;
- Checks that have been previously deposited at another institution via physical item, image or electronic funds transfer;
- Checks from financial institutions located outside of the United States;
- Checks that are not payable in U.S. dollars;
- Checks that are more than six (6) months old (i.e. stale-dated);
- Checks that are post-dated, or payable on a date in the future;Substitute Checks (a digital reproduction of the front and back of an original check);

- Travelers checks and savings bonds;
- Non-negotiable instruments, such as promissory notes; or
- Starter checks or counter checks (checks from a teller window).
Third-Party Checks
Third-party checks deposited through Mobile Deposit may be rejected. All Check Images submitted for deposit must be payable to you and not to a third-party. In the event a third-party Check Image is received, a Substitute Check will be returned to you through the U.S. Postal Service mail and the deposit will not be processed. Neither Booyah nor the Bank will be liable for any Substitute Checks that may become lost in the mail.
Both Booyah and the Bank reserve the right to reject a Mobile Deposit if it is made payable to the Bank and contains no means to identify the Spending Account to which it should be credited.
Receipt of Check
Neither Booyah nor the Bank is responsible for Check Images not received or dropped during transmission. A Check Image will be deemed received only when Booyah provides you with Electronic Notice confirming receipt of the Check Image. After receipt of your Check Image is confirmed, the Check Image will be subject to review before it is submitted for deposit and may still be rejected for any reason at the discretion of Booyah and the Bank. An Electronic Notice confirmation is not a representation, warranty or other indication that the Check Image will be presented for deposit or will be honored by any collecting or paying bank. If Booyah or the Bank rejects a Check Image received through the Mobile Deposit feature, you may contact the individual or company who issued the check, to request a new or reissued check be provided to you. If you do submit the original check for processing, Booyah and the Bank reserves the right to refuse to process it and may instead require you to have the check reissued.
Retention of Original Check
Once the funds from the Check Image have been credited to your Spending Account, you must mark the original check as “VOID” and retain it for sixty (60) days. You may not present the original check or any Substitute Check created from the original check for payment at any other financial institution. During this sixty (60) day period, you must store the original paper check securely using precautions at least as secure as those you would use to protect a blank check. You must make the original paper check available to Booyah or the Bank for review at any time during this sixty (60) day period as necessary to facilitate the clearing and deposit process, to address third-party claims or for our own audit purposes. Should you fail to produce the original paper check, you authorize Booyah or the Bank to deduct the amount of the check in question from your Spending Account, regardless of whether such action may cause your Spending Account to not have sufficient funds. Immediately after this sixty (60) day period, you must destroy the original paper check.
Endorsements
You will endorse any check or other item submitted for deposit exactly as it was made payable to you. You warrant that all endorsements on items deposited to your Spending Account are genuine. Any endorsement must be placed in the one-inch area starting at the left side on the back of an item and the remaining area on the back of the item may not contain any pre printed, stamped or handwritten information. If you fail to do this, you may be required to reimburse Booyah for losses incurred. For any check deposited as a Check Image through Mobile Deposit, you must endorse the check by signing or stamping the back and writing “For deposit only to Spending Account #XXXXXXXXXX” or as otherwise instructed by Booyah before you take a picture of the check. In the absence of endorsement, you authorize Booyah or the Bank to supply any missing endorsements if items are made payable to you or your order and you have not endorsed them.

We have the right to refuse any deposit.
