Electronic Disclosures

Electronic Disclosure Consent

For purposes of this Consent, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

  • “account” means a deposit account or accounts you open with BankMD.
  • “you,” “your,” and “yours,” mean the owner or owners of the account.
  • “Bank MD”, “The Bank”, “we,” “our”, or “us” shall mean BankMD, a Division of TransPecos the Banks, SSB, its principal office being located at 112 E Pecan St. Suite 800, San Antonio, TX 78205.

This consent agreement is incorporated with and made a part of your Deposit Account Agreement with us. If the terms and conditions of this consent agreement, including any subsequent consent agreement, conflict with the terms and conditions contained in any other agreement between the Bank and you, the terms and conditions of this consent agreement shall be controlling with respect to electronic disclosure matters to the extent of the conflict.

Bank MD will primarily provide services to you electronically. For this reason, before you can begin using online banking services through BankMD (“Online Banking”), you must consent to receiving communications from us in an electronic format rather than paper. This statement asks for your consent so that we can provide communications and information to you in an electronic format. Before you decide whether you wish to provide your consent to receiving electronic disclosures, you should read and consider the following information. If you decide to consent, you can click the “ACCEPT” button at the bottom of this statement. For your consent to be effective, your computer and browser will need to meet the minimum hardware and software requirements discussed below.

This statement contains important information that we are required by law to provide to you. You should keep a copy for your records. If you have any questions about E-disclosures that are not answered, feel free to communicate with us using any of the following contacts:

  • Call us at 1-888-534-3509, or

  • Send us a letter via U.S. mail to: Bank MD, P.O. BOX 1437 Westerville, OH 43086.

If you consent, we may send all communications, contracts, notices, or disclosures that are related to BankMD services in an electronic format.
