  5. FUNDING YOUR REMITTANCES

    Upon registering for our web remittance services, you will designate a bank account and/or credit/debit card from which, payment for your remittance(s) may be taken. Upon receipt of your request to remit funds to a Recipient and ACH debit or Debit card authorization, PNBRCI will initiate/process an ACH debit payment from your designated savings/checking account or a debit card payment of your remittance transaction/s.

    Remittance paid via ACH debit shall be subject to 3 banking day hold period (“hold period”) counted as follows:

    • Day 1 – Banking Day on which ACH debit authorization was sent to remitter’s bank – not counted as part of hold period
    • Day 2 – 1st Banking Day after ACH debit authorization was sent to remitter’s bank – First day of hold period
    • Day 3 – 2nd Banking Day after ACH debit authorization was sent to remitter’s bank – Second day of hold period
    • Day 4 – 3rd Banking Day after ACH debit authorization was sent to remitter’s bank – Third day of hold period
    • Day 5 – 4th Banking Day after ACH debit authorization was sent to remitter’s bank – Release of remittance to PNB Manila for payment to Recipient.

    Funds are debited from your U.S. bank or credit union account on the next banking day after PNB RCI initiates the ACH debit to your account. You should ensure that funds are available in your bank or credit union account or debit card to cover such remittances. On a case-to-case basis and at the sole discretion of PNBRCI, PNBRCI may process a remittance payment immediately without waiting for receipt of payment from your bank, credit union or debit card issuer.

  6. RECORDS

    PNBRCI maintains records of your Service account and your Service transactions. You may request copies of these records at any time by calling the Service toll free number. Copies of these records may be emailed or mailed to you at your preference.

  7. PAYMENT NOT DELIVERABLE OR REFUSED

    If a payment is undeliverable, or if it is rejected by the Recipient, the payment will be cancelled. Generally, the funds will be returned to you, minus a small fee. If a payment is cancelled, you will be notified by an email or text which will describe the status of those funds.

  8. STOPPING PAYMENT OF PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

    Cancellation of remittance transfers scheduled in advance (12 CFR 1005.36(c)):

    For any remittance transfer scheduled by the sender at least 3 business days before the date of the transfer, we will comply with any oral or written request to cancel the remittance transfer from the sender if the request to cancel (1) enables us to identify the sender's name and address or telephone number and the particular transfer to be cancelled; and (2) Is received by us at least 3 business days before the scheduled date of the remittance transfer.

    Cancellation of other preauthorized transfers (12 CFR 1005.10(c)):

    Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how:

    Call us at 1-855-889-7788 or write us at the following address:

    PNBRCI Customer Service
    225 W Broadway Suite 301
    Glendale, CA 91204

    in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. (We will charge you the fee set forth in the fee schedule on our website for each stop- payment order you give.) Your oral stop-payment order ceases to be binding after 14 days if you fail to provide the required written confirmation.

    Notice of varying amounts. When a preauthorized electronic fund transfer from your account will vary in amount from the previous transfer under the same authorization or from the preauthorized amount, the person you are going to pay or the financial institution must send the consumer written notice of the amount and date of the transfer at least 10 days before the scheduled date of transfer. (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 that you set.)

    Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

  9. FEES

    Fees will be charged to you for every payment request and will be deducted from your account in addition to the amount you authorize us to transmit to the Recipient. By providing and confirming a transaction using the Service, you are deemed to have accepted the fees under the current fee schedule provided in the PNBRCI website for such transaction or service. Fees are subject to change upon prior notice to you by any method permitted under this Agreement.

    Your bank and/or your credit/debit card issuer may charge you fees for the payments you make for your remittances. Your credit/debit card company may charge you cash advance fees. These fees that your bank and/or credit/debit card issuer charge, if any, are their fees for using their payment services.

  10. AGGREGATE LIMITS AND GEOGRAPHIC LIMITS ON THE USE OF SERVICE

    Use of the Service is limited. You cannot transfer more than $500.00 in any single transaction or more than $2,999.00 within 3 day rolling period or $5,000.00 within any 30 day period. You may not send funds from multiple accounts. For purposes of these limitations, PNBRCI will combine funds from the same account, regardless of the name of the remitter. Moreover, funds initiating from the same address or being received at the same address are subject to consolidation and these limitations. For example, if you and your spouse each charge the same bank or credit union account $1,000.00 to fund a payment(s), your funding requests will be combined and each request will be included in the calculation of whether the $2,999.00 3 day rolling period or $5,000.00 limit on aggregate transactions made within a 30-day period has been reached. PNBRCI reserves the right to change the foregoing limits at any time but you will be notified of such a change by Communication.

    You agree that consumer reports may be obtained in connection with your use of the Service. After receiving your request, PNBRCI will inform you as to whether such a report was requested, and if so, the name and address of each agency which was furnished such a report.

    Consumer Liability

    (Tell us AT ONCE if you believe any of your security credentials issued by us (PIN, username, password, answers to challenge questions and similar information) has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using the Service or your security credentials. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within 4 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your security credentials, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your security credentials without your permission.)

    If you do NOT tell us within 4 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your security credentials, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your security credentials without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

    Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 90 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 90 days if we can prove that 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

You acknowledge that transactions may be reported to a collection agency or credit bureau if you do not pay PNBRCI in accordance with this Agreement.

      If PNBRCI or the Bank is deemed liable to you in connection with any payment or other transfer of funds made or not made in accordance with this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of PNBRCI or the Bank will be the amount of the payment or transfer, without interest, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

If you have no outstanding obligations in connection with the Service, any remaining balance will be credited to the deposit account you used to fund payments.

The delay or failure of PNBRCI to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in connection with this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy or any other rights or remedies.

    9. Other Disclosures.
      1. Financial Institution’s Liability

        If we do not complete a transfer to or 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:

        1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
        2. If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
        3. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
        4. If the system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
        5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
        6. Under other exceptions stated in our agreements with you.
      2. Documentation

        Terminal transfers. You can get a receipt at the time you initiate an electronic fund transfer at an electronic terminal.

        Periodic Statements. You will get a monthly account statement (unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In any case you will get the statement at least quarterly).

        Preauthorized credits.

A financial institution need not provide notice of a transfer if the payor gives the consumer positive notice that the transfer has been initiated.

      3. ATM Fee Disclosure

        When you use an ATM not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator or any network used (and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer).

    11. Delivery Methods and Timing

      As shown in Section 4 above, the remittance will be held for up to 5 U.S. banking days to allow funds to clear before it is transmitted to PNB Manila. After PNBRCI receives payment of the transaction amount from your bank, credit union (after the hold period) or debit card issuer, the remittance instructions will be sent to Philippine National Bank in Manila (“PNB Manila”) for payment to the Recipient. PNB RCI may, at its option, waive or shorten the 5 U.S. banking day clearing period and remit funds immediately.

      Non-Philippine National Bank (“non PNB Bank”) Process of Delivery

      • Upon receiving the remittance instructions, PNB Manila immediately deposits the funds to the Recipient's non-PNB Bank account.
      • Your Recipient's non-PNB Bank or credit union could take several days to make the funds available to your Recipient. Some non-PNB Banks will also charge their own transfer fees and will deduct this fee from the funds you sent to your Recipient.
      • Please contact your Recipient and inquire about the policies (clearance and fees) of their banks (or other financial institutions) when handling credits from PNB Manila before you select this method of delivery.

      Door-To-Door Process of Delivery

      • Upon receiving the money, PNB Manila provides the funds and instructions on the same day to its courier services for delivery to your beneficiary's doorstep (delivery times vary according to locations).

      U.S. federal and Philippine national or local holidays, weekends and any fortuitous event occurring during the remittance process may affect the clearing period and delivery time.
