Most payments will be deducted from your checking account on the scheduled date and be sent to the payee either electronically or via corporate check, depending on the payment method accepted by the merchant.

It can take up to five business days for the payment to be received and processed by the payee, so you will want to make sure to schedule it in time to arrive before the due date.

Is it safe to use the ICM Mobile App while connected to a wireless internet connection?

Wireless networks are common in a variety of locations, such as coffee shops and restaurants. These connections are typically insecure and pose an increased risk of data theft. When possible, instead of using free wireless networks, use your device's native data connection such as your wireless network carrier.

Can someone intercept my ICM Mobile App transactions?

No. 128 bit SSL encryption protects your information as it travels from your mobile device to the bank. The 128 bit SSL encryption technology is the same encryption that safeguards internet traffic for secure web applications.

How can I be sure the ICM Mobile App is secure if I lose my mobile device?

Just as with the Internet Cash Management full site, all account data resides at FirstBank. We require users to enter a valid User ID and Password to access the secure Internet Cash Management site. If your mobile device is stolen, they won't be able to access your sensitive Internet Cash Management information without your User ID and Password, but you should also notify us. You can contact us 24 hours a day at 303-232-5522 or 1-800-964-3444.

Will the user permissions and limits established in Internet Cash Management still apply within the ICM Mobile App?

All user permission and limits established in ICM Online will also apply to the ICM Mobile App. The ICM Mobile App does not allow you to change permissions and limits within the App.

Sending Wire Transfers

To send a wire, you need to have the following information.

• The receiving bank's ABA number (routing number) and name of the bank.
• Beneficiary (person to whom the wire is being sent).
• Account number of beneficiary.
• City and state of the receiving bank.
• Driver's License to show proof of ID

Sometimes the receiving bank requires additional information. Please contact the receiving bank to obtain their “wiring instructions.”

Wires may be initiated over the phone by signing a Wire Transfer Agreement at any branch location. Completing this agreement is required for personal and business customers who frequently request wire transactions or are unable to visit any FirstBank location. FirstBank offers the ability to choose up to four verification methods in order to ensure the security of these funds.

The fees for sending a wire are $30 for a domestic wire and $45 for a foreign wire. To initiate a wire by telephone, please contact us at 303-231-2005 or 1-800-467-7640 outside the Denver Metropolitan area. We will send wires Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST. If we receive a request to send a wire after 2:00 p.m., it will be sent the next business day. Wire requests for the following business day may be taken until 5:00 p.m. MST. Same-Day Federal Tax Deposit wires can be initiated for commercial customers only; these wires are $45 and must be completed at a branch location by 12:00pm MST.

Receiving Wire Transfers

To receive a wire at FirstBank, the following information should be given to the party that is originating the wire.

• FirstBank's routing number: 107005047.
• FirstBank's address:
  10403 West Colfax Avenue
  Lakewood, CO 80215
• Your name and your 10-digit account number.
• Any specific instructions for the money.

The fee for an incoming wire is $10 for FirstBank customers; FirstBank does not accept wire transfers for non-customers. We cannot anticipate exact arrival times nor can we guarantee that wires will be received on the same day they are sent. The wire may need to be sent through an additional bank and thus be delayed or subject to additional fees, the information received may not be complete enough for the wire to be processed. If it is a foreign wire, it may take a few days to a few weeks to receive the wire.

How often will I receive a statement?

You will receive a monthly mortgage or loan statement starting in December of 2013.

What kind of mortgages or loans will receive FirstBank statements?

Mortgage

Any mortgage that was originated through FirstBank and is serviced by FirstBank will receive monthly statements. This includes both commercial and consumer mortgages and fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.

Loans

Any consumer installment loan secured by a 1–4 family residence will receive monthly statements.

When will I receive my statements?

Mortgage

You will receive your mortgage statement mid-month. Paper statements will be mailed two business days after the 16th, and eStatements will generally be made available on efirstbank.com by 4:00 p.m. MST, two business days after the 16th.

Loans

Your statement will cycle on the 11th calendar day after your last payment due date. Paper statements will be mailed and eStatements will be made available one day after this date.

How do I change the delivery method of my statement?

If you are currently receiving paper statements and would like to change to electronic statements (eStatements), you can log into your Online Banking and enroll in eStatements. If you currently receive eStatements but would like to begin receiving paper statements, you can call our customer service representatives at 303-237-5000 or toll free at 1-800-964-3444.

Where can I find my statement online?

Your statements can be found under the eStatements link in the "Accounts" tab on efirstbank.com.

How long are past statements available in Online Banking?

Statements are available for approximately 36 months. This includes previous quarterly statements for mortgages and monthly statements for mortgages and loans.

When will I receive my first statement after I have closed my mortgage or loan?

Mortgage

You will receive your first statement in the next billing cycle after the closing date of your mortgage. For example, if you closed your loan on February 21st, you would receive your first statement in mid-March.

Loans

You will receive your first statement the month following the due date that you established upon closing your loan. If you have set your first due date as 1/10/14, the first statement will be created 1/21/14.

When will I receive my last statement after I have made my final payment?

Mortgage

You will receive one final mortgage statement after you have paid off your loan. This will include any escrow information. Keep in mind escrows take approximately two weeks to process. Depending on when your loan was paid off, they may not have been processed when your final statement was sent to you.

Loans

You will receive one final statement on the same cycle that you have received all prior loan statements. This statement should show a zero balance owing.

Can I use the Paid Year to Date amount for tax purposes?

No, the Paid Year to Date amount on mortgage statements is from December 17th of the previous year to the current date. For either loan or mortgage statements, you should always use the interest amount on your 1098 for tax purposes.

When I pay any outstanding fees, how are they applied to my Mortgage or Loan?

When you pay any outstanding fees on your mortgage or loan, your payment will be applied to your oldest fees first. For mortgages, when you add additional funds to your payment for fees, you will need to indicate how those funds should be allocated on the bottom of your coupon.

On my mortgage statement, I am receiving a coupon, but am set up for Automatic Payments, why is this?

Every mortgage statement includes a coupon on the bottom of the first page. If you have automatic payments, you can disregard this coupon unless you would like to make additional principal, escrow or fee payments.

I received a Delinquency Notice. What does this mean and how do I read it?

If you have received a Delinquency Notice, it means that your loan or mortgage is at least 45 days past due. The notice describes your outstanding payment, any outstanding fees or charges, and what you need to pay to bring your loan current. If you have any questions on this notice, please do not hesitate to contact your Branch Officer or Customer Service at the number listed at the top of your statement.

What is included in the Delinquency Notice?

• Date on which the mortgage or loan became delinquent and the number of days delinquent on the mortgage or loan.
• Mortgage or loan history for the previous six months or the period since the last time the mortgage or loan was current, whichever is shorter.
• Amount remaining past due from each billing cycle or, if any such payment was fully paid, the date on which it was credited as fully paid.
• Total payment amount needed to bring the mortgage or loan current (This amount will match the amount due and the total amount due on the statement).
• Notification of possible risks, such as foreclosure and expenses, that may be incurred if the delinquency is not cured.
• A reference to Housing Counselor information.

What is the difference between my current and available balance?

Your current balance is the balance in your account as of close of business the previous business day. Your available balance is the current balance, minus or plus, any electronic transactions that may occur that day or in the near future. Therefore, the two amounts may be different from day to day.

Electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits, or automatic withdrawals you have set up. When an electronic transaction is initiated, it will typically show as "Pending" on your account.

As stated previously, pending electronic transactions are reflected in your available balance (the amount available for withdrawal) immediately. When nightly processing is completed, electronic transactions are processed, and posted to your current balance. The only exception to this is Visa Debit Card authorizations, which can remain as “Pending” on your account for up to three to five business days before posting to the current balance on your account.

It is FirstBank's policy to process all credits (deposits), electronic or manual, to your account before any debits (checks, Visa transactions, and withdrawals) are deducted.

What is the difference between my available and projected balance?

Your available balance is the current balance, minus or plus, any electronic transactions, cash deposits or a portion of paper deposits that may occur that day or in the near future. Your projected balance is your current balance, minus or plus, any transactions that will occur that day. The projected balance is an estimate of what your account balance may be once nightly processing is completed, using the information available at that time.

Transactions that will occur today include the full amount of any pending deposit or pending debits, which may include electronic, paper or cash deposits or paper or electronic debits from your account. Any balance available on an overdraft line of credit will not be reflected in the projected balance.

Pending paper items may include any transactions conducted over the bank teller line, or checks written off of your account that have been negotiated at another financial institution that will be deducted from your account balance after nightly processing is completed. You will receive full same-day credit on any cash deposits made over the bank teller line, and up to $500 per account per day on any other paper deposits such as ATM deposits or a deposit made over the bank teller line.

As stated previously, electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits or automatic withdrawals you have set up.

When do transactions post to my account?

Any transactions you perform, such as deposits or withdrawals, are processed at the end of each business day, and will be reflected in the current balance on your account around 7:00 a.m. the following morning. Monday through Friday are considered business days, with the exception of Federal Holidays.

For example, if you make a manual deposit with a teller Monday, we will process the deposit at close of business Monday night. The deposit will be reflected in your current balance around 7:00 a.m. Tuesday morning and will be available for withdrawal. If you make a manual deposit on Saturday, which is not a business day, we will process the deposit with Monday's business as described above.

Any transactions you do at a branch location, such as the deposit with the teller in the above example, are considered "manual transactions." Manual transactions include any checks you have written, or deposits or withdrawals made through a bank employee. You will not see these reflected on your account until nightly processing has finished and they are posted to your current balance the following morning. You may be able to see electronic transactions reflected on your account sooner than manual transactions. Electronic transactions include ATM deposits and withdrawals, Visa Debit Card transactions, wires, direct deposits, or automatic withdrawals you have set up. When an electronic transaction is initiated, it will typically show as “Pending” on your account.

Pending electronic transactions are reflected in your available balance (the amount available for withdrawal) immediately. When nightly processing is completed, electronic transactions are processed, and posted to your current balance. The only exception to this is Visa Debit Card authorizations, which can remain as "Pending" on your account for up to three to five business days before posting to the current balance on your account.

It is FirstBank's policy to process all credits (deposits), electronic or manual, to your account before any debits (checks, Visa transactions, and withdrawals) are deducted.

How do I change my PIN?

You may change your PIN at your convenience at any time. Simply give us a call at 1-800-964-3444 and we can assist you in selecting a new PIN

If you do not know your PIN, please contact us at 1-800-964-3444 and we can assist you in selecting a new PIN.

My card was lost or stolen.

Please call us immediately. We will cancel your card and send you a new one.

I have a question regarding a charge on my account?

For your security, please login to Online Banking and use the secure Bank Mail provided in the Customer Service section, or call us immediately if you suspect fraudulent activity.

Why do I have multiple pending Visa transactions for the same merchant?

When a merchant accepts a Visa Debit Card, he or she begins by obtaining an authorization, or a verification of adequate funds in the account, to approve the purchase. This authorization is shown as a “VISA AUTHORIZATION” on the pending screen, and it deducts the amount from your available balance. When a merchant closes a batch (compilation of authorizations), the authorization is processed and posts to your account, shown as a “VISA” transaction on your statement. In some circumstances, a merchant may get multiple authorizations for the same purchase. For example, a restaurant may submit one authorization for the actual amount of the bill and an additional one after you have included the tip.

After the transaction posts to your account, the authorization(s) should be removed. However, there are situations where the authorization may remain on your account for three to five business days after the transaction has posted. In the event a Visa transaction actually posts to your account twice, please contact us to file a dispute.

Why is my Visa transaction for a different amount than what I authorized?

When a merchant accepts a Visa Debit Card, he or she begins by obtaining an authorization, or a verification of adequate funds in the account, to approve the purchase. This authorization is shown as a “VISA AUTHORIZATION” on the pending screen, and it deducts the amount from your available balance. When a merchant closes a batch (compilation of authorizations), the authorization is processed and posts to your account, shown as a “VISA” transaction on your statement.

Often, certain types of merchants authorize a different amount than what will actually post to your account. For example, many gas stations only authorize $1.00 in "pay at the pump" transactions, and the actual amount posts to your account when the authorization is processed. In addition, many restaurants authorize an amount greater than the actual bill total to account for a tip; therefore, the amount that posts to your account is different than what was authorized.

How do I stop an electronic (EFT or ACH) payment?

To permanently cancel an EFT payment, you must contact the merchant directly. If the merchant continues to withdraw the funds from your account, please contact us to place a stop payment on the transaction. You will be directed to visit a branch location to sign the appropriate paperwork. Please note the transaction will be posted to your account and returned once we receive the signed paperwork.

How can I call FirstBank toll-free from outside of the United States?

To obtain an International toll free telephone number to be used when calling us, please refer to the AT&T International calling guide to select the country you will be calling from. To make the call, dial the International toll free telephone number for that country, followed by our telephone number 1-800-964-3444 when prompted to do so.

Chip Cards

What is a chip-enabled card?

A chip card, or “Smart card”, has both an embedded chip on the front and a traditional magnetic stripe on the back. The chip can be either silver or gold.

Why are we issuing cards with a chip?

Chip cards have been proven to reduce counterfeit card fraud. Additionally, you will experience improved card acceptance internationally where chip-enabled cards are the standard.

Are chip cards more secure?

Yes, chip cards make in-person transactions more secure. When you use your card at a chip-activated reader, the chip will generate a unique code for each transaction. This prevents stolen data from being fraudulently used to make a counterfeit card.

When will I receive my chip-enhanced card?

If you are a current FirstBank debit or ATM cardholder, you will automatically receive a chip card to replace your existing card soon.

What if the merchant doesn‘t have a chip-activated reader?

No problem. Just swipe your card using the magnetic stripe.

What information is stored on the chip?

The embedded chip stores only the information required to process a transaction. No personal information is stored on the chip.

Can my chip card information be stolen using a smart phone?

No, this type of theft (can be referred to as “electronic pickpocketing”) only applies to cards that have wireless capabilities which we do not currently issue. Cards that have wireless capabilities allow you to wave their card over the merchant‘s terminal to make a payment. Our chip cards require you to insert and leave the card in the terminal to complete a transaction.

What if I swipe my chip card at a merchant accepting chip cards?

You will be prompted by the reader to insert your chip instead.

Are there any additional fees or costs associated with my chip card?

No. There are no additional fees for having a chip-enabled card.

Zelle® Payments

What is Zelle®?

With Zelle, you can send and request money easily and securely to your friends and family using only their email address or U.S. mobile phone number. Zelle is fast, secure, convenient and available through Online Banking or the FirstBank Mobile App.

Who can I send money?

Recipients will need to have a bank account in the U.S. If their bank is not working with Zelle, they will need to have a debit card that is attached to their account, which can be enrolled through the Zelle app to use the service. Zelle should only be used to send money to people you know and trust.

Who can I request money from?

Requests can only be sent to a phone number already registered in the Zelle network. Requests may be sent to any email even if it is not registered yet.

Will my contacts see my bank information?

Your bank account information is confidential and will never be shared with your contacts. The only information your contacts will see is your name and your email address or mobile phone number, depending on how you sent the payment.

What is the security code used for?

This is a security feature used to verify that the email address or mobile phone number registered is accessible by you. Messages are sent via your registered contact method, so by verifying your access to this method, you are confirming that you will receive notification of payments.

What information do I need to send a payment or request?

All you need is your recipient's name and email address or mobile phone number.

How do I send a payment?

From the website, select "Send Money with Zelle®" from the navigation bar under Transfers & Bill Pay. Follow the one-time enrollment steps. Click the "Send" button and select or add a contact.

What are the limits?

New customers have a daily limit of $500.00. As you use this service your limit will increase to:

• Daily: $1,500.00
• Weekly: $5,000.00
• Monthly: $10,000.00

Please contact an Online Banking Representative at 1-800-964-3444 option 3 for further information.

What are the fees?

There are no fees for Zelle.

How will my contacts receive payments and requests?

Your contacts will receive either an email or text message notifying them of your payment or request. If they have never received a Zelle payment or request before, information on how to register their bank account will be sent to them. After registration is completed, the money will be sent to their bank account or the request will be sent to their Zelle profile.

How do I receive Zelle® payments?

When you register for Zelle, your email address or mobile phone number is tied directly to your FirstBank Checking or Savings account of your choice. When other Zelle users would like to send you money, all they need is the email address or mobile phone number that you have registered with. If you are registered with the service, the money will automatically be accepted and deposited to your primary account. You will receive a notification via your registered contact method anytime someone is sending you a payment.

How do I receive Zelle® requests?

Once you have registered for Zelle, you will receive notifications about incoming requests for money via the email or phone number you have registered with. You can then view and respond to these requests under the Zelle Activity section of Online Banking or the Mobile App.

When is money debited from my account?

As soon as you submit a payment, the money will be removed from your available balance.

What happens if my contact never registers to receive my payment?

To change a contact's email address or phone number, you will first need to delete the contact by tapping the trash can icon next to their name. The new contact information can be added via the "Add New Contact" button on the bottom.

Can I edit or delete a payment or request?

Once a payment has been submitted, it cannot be edited or deleted. A request for money will remain active for up to 14 calendar days before expiring. Active requests can be deleted from the Zelle activity page any time before the request is fulfilled, modified, denied, or expired, but cannot be edited once it has been submitted.

What happens when I delete a contact?

Your contact will be removed from your Zelle contact list. All pending payments will still process.

What does the activity section show?

On both the website and mobile app, the activity section of Zelle will display all incoming and outgoing payments and requests (except cancelled outgoing requests) within the past 90 days. Active incoming requests will be at the top of the activity section of Zelle. You will have the option to send the requested amount, modify the requested amount, or decline the request. Any action taken on these will notify the person who has sent the request. Recurring and future dated Zelle payments are also found here. Any of these can be deleted before the date it is scheduled to occur. As you generate Zelle transactions they will be listed in the History section.

What types of accounts can send and receive payments?

Most Consumer and Business Checking and Savings accounts are eligible for sending and receiving payments.

What is my primary account?

Incoming payments will credit your primary account. This is also your default account for sending a payment.

Can I change my primary account?

Yes, you can always change your primary account.

From the website, select "Send Money with Zelle®" from the navigation bar under Transfers & Bill Pay. Select the Settings tab and select the account you would like from the drop menu.

From the mobile app, select "Send Money" from the navigation bar at the bottom. Tap the gear icon in the top right and select "My Zelle Information". Select the account you would like from the drop menu.

I am trying to register my email address or mobile phone number and I am receiving a message that is it already registered. Why?

An email or mobile phone number can only be registered once in the Zelle network, which includes other institutions. If you have registered your email address or mobile phone number with another bank that is a part of the Zelle network, then you will need to call a FirstBank Customer Service Representative at 1-800-964-3444 so you may register it with FirstBank instead.

What if I send a payment but it is not received by my recipient?

Please allow three business days after your recipient has registered to receive the payment. If after this time the payment has not been received, please call a FirstBank Customer Service Representative at 1-800-964-3444.

Overdraft Services

What are Overdraft Services?

While using this service your FirstBank Debit Card allows you to pay for items even when there is not sufficient money in the account to cover the transaction(s). We do this to help you avoid the embarrassment of having a transaction declined at a grocery store, gas station, etc. This service is especially helpful when you cannot make a deposit until later that same business day.

If you do not use this service all ATM and debit card transactions will be denied if you do not have sufficient funds to cover the transactions.

You may also use this service for checks, ACH, bill payments, and recurring debit card transactions.

What does it cost?

You will be charged a $34 fee each time a debit card transaction (one time or recurring), check, ACH, or bill payment is paid on your account and you do not have sufficient funds in the account. You will be charged a $34 fee each time a check, ACH, or online bill payment is returned on your account because of insufficient funds in the account. We charge a maximum of 5 fees per day and we will not charge fees on items under $5. If your account is overdrawn for 5 or more consecutive business days, we will charge an additional $5 per business day retroactive to the first day the account was overdrawn.

When do I need to make a deposit to avoid overdraft fees?

In most cases, there will be no fee if you make a deposit to cover the cost of the transaction(s) the same day they were performed. You will have until the close of business to make a deposit at a branch, by telephone or online transfer. If you make your deposit at a FirstBank ATM, the cut-off time for same-day credit is posted on the machine.

If I sign up to be covered, will my transactions always be approved?

No. While most transactions are approved, we reserve the right to approve or decline transactions at our discretion.

How can I avoid paying overdraft fees?

There are a number of easy ways to avoid overdraft fees:

• Keep a transaction register. Record all account transactions in a register. This will help you make sure there are enough funds in your account to pay for transactions.
• Sign up for Online and Mobile Banking. Enroll at efirstbank.com for 24 hour access to your account information.
• Stay informed with FirstBank Alerts. Use customizable email and text message alerts to inform you when account balances are low.
• Apply for an overdraft protection plan, such as a cash reserve line of credit or a link to a savings account, which may be less expensive than our standard overdraft practices. To learn more, ask us about these plans.

Important Details About FirstBank Overdraft Coverage

The overdraft fee(s) may be imposed for covering overdrafts created by check, in-person withdrawal, debit card transaction, or other electronic means.

Once an overdraft has occurred, you are obligated to bring your account to a positive balance promptly.

Whether your overdraft is paid is at our discretion, and we reserve the right to not pay a transaction. For example, we typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing or you are not making regular deposits.

Smart Choice College Savings Plan

What is a 529 savings plan?

529 plans are state-sponsored college savings plans established by the federal government in Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. 529 plans offer attractive tax benefits that help families save for college.

What are the benefits of a Smart Choice College Savings Plan?

If you are a Colorado resident, every dollar you contribute to your account can be deducted from your Colorado State taxable income. Your account will grow federal and Colorado State tax-free for the duration of your investment. If you use your account for qualified expenses, earnings are also exempt from federal and Colorado State taxes. Residents of other states may still be eligible for certain tax benefits. Please consult your tax advisor for specific information regarding tax benefits.

Who can participate?

Anyone can open an account and anyone can be a beneficiary. Parents, grandparents, or other relatives can save through a Smart Choice College Savings Plan. You may even open an account for yourself. There are no age limits on who may invest money or who may benefit from the funds.

Can there be more than one account for the same beneficiary?

Yes. However the aggregate balance of all accounts for a single beneficiary may not exceed $400,000.

Is the beneficiary required to attend a Colorado college?

No. You may use your funds at eligible public and private colleges, universities, trade and vocational schools across the country.

What if the beneficiary doesn't go to college?

If the beneficiary decides not to attend college, you can name another beneficiary (certain restrictions apply; please see the Plan Disclosure Statement for complete information), or you can choose to leave the funds in the account for a time when he or she might decide to attend college. If you need your savings for another purpose, you can withdraw the funds; however, there are tax consequences for non-qualified withdrawals.

What higher education expenses are covered by the plan?

You can use your savings to pay for qualified expenses such as tuition, fees, certain room and board, required books and supplies, and certain computer equipment, software, and Internet access (for 2009 and 2010 only). Other withdrawals may be subject to federal and state taxes, as well as penalties.

How do I change a beneficiary?

Changing a beneficiary will require closing the existing Smart Choice College Savings Account and opening a new Smart Choice College Savings Account for the new beneficiary. For tax reporting purposes, this transaction will not be considered a distribution. You may begin this process by completing a Change of Beneficiary Form and returning it in person to any FirstBank location, or calling us at 1-800-964-3444 for guidance.
