Important Bank Disclosures

The Great Southern Bank team has outlined crucial information regarding your Visa-branded debit card. We’ve put together these bank disclosures to help you know what to expect when you become one of our customers. Everyone is encouraged to read both this page and our privacy notice and get in touch with any questions or concerns.

Non-Visa Debit Transaction Processing

We have enabled non-Visa debit transaction processing. This means you may use your Visa-branded debit card on a PIN-Debit Network* (a non-Visa network) without using a PIN. The non-Visa debit network(s) for which such transactions are enabled are: PULSE Network.

Examples of the types of actions that you may be required to make it initiate a Visa transaction on your Visa-branded debit card include: signing a receipt, providing a card number over the phone or via the Internet, or swiping the card through a point-of-sale terminal.

Examples of the types of actions you may be required to make to initiate a transaction on a PIN-Debit Network include:

Initiating a payment directly with the biller, possibly via phone, Internet, or kiosk locations.
Responding to a logo displayed at a payment site and choosing to direct payment through that network.
Having your identity verified using known information derived from an existing relationship with you instead of through the use of a PIN.

The provisions of your agreement with us relating only to Visa transactions are not applicable to non-Visa transactions. For example, the additional limits on liability—sometimes referred to as Visa’s zero-liability program—and the streamlined error resolution procedures offered on Visa debit card transactions are not applicable to transactions processed on a PIN-Debit Network.

*Visa Rules generally define PIN-Debit Network as a non-Visa debit network that typically authenticates transactions by use of a personal identification number (PIN), but that is not generally known for having a card program.

Mobile Remote Deposit Services Agreement

Mobile Deposit is designed to allow you to take a picture of your original check with a mobile device and upload it for deposit to your Great Southern Banks deposit accounts.

Original Checks

After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original check for 60 calendar days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within 10 calendar days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount may be reversed from your account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking “VOID” and then destroying it by shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction.

After the destruction of an original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check. You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.

Returned Deposits

Any credit to your account for checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is provisional.

You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage, or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.
