3 of 20 the system can be viewed and are explained in our Security Statement. In addition to our login security, we use SSL (secure socket layer) encryption technology for everything you do on the CCNB Online Banking system. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the “secure session” by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet. Software and Equipment Requirements Equipment such as a personal computer or wireless device, with access to the Internet (Equipment) is required to access the Services.

Please remember that we will not immediately receive an email sent by you. No action will be made on any email you send to us until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If urgent action is required, we recommend that you contact Coastal Carolina National Bank directly by telephone at (866) 418-9219 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday – Thursday and between 8:30 AM EST and 5:30 PM EST, Friday or in person at a Coastal Carolina National Bank location.

Alerts: Your enrollment in CCNB Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about your CCNB account(s). Alerts are provided within the following categories: Mandatory Alerts provide you with important account notifications, such as information about changes to your Online Banking password, PIN, or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts. Account Alerts provide you with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to your Service accounts, such as scheduled payments made, scheduled payments canceled and mobile deposits. These Alerts are automatically activated for you. Although you may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that you do not do so because they provide important information related to your Service accounts. Additional Alerts must be activated and enabled by you. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from the Manage Alerts menu within CCNB Online Banking and Manage Alerts menu within CCNB Mobile Banking. Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. You cannot maintain all Alerts through your mobile device. We may add new Alerts from time to time, or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify you when we cancel Alerts but are not obligated to do so. CCNB reserves the right to terminate its Alerts service at any time without prior notice to you. Methods of Delivery. We may provide Alerts through one or more channels (“EndPoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) your CCNB Online Banking message in-box, by an e-mail message. You agree to receive Alerts through these EndPoints, and it is your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the EndPoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message Alerts provided through the Alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your EndPoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences.

An Alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide Alerts in a timely manner with accurate
5 of 20 information. However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s), and other factors outside CCNB’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold CCNB, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose. Alert Information: As Alerts delivered via SMS, email, and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that Alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your Alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages. Security is very important to Coastal Carolina National Bank. When you login to Online Banking for the first time, you will use your account number and the last four digits of your social security number. You will then be prompted to select a new “Access ID” and “Password” that you will thereafter use to gain access to your accounts. Because your password is used to access your account(s), you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data. You agree not to give or make available your Access ID, Password, or account number(s). If someone to whom you have granted authority to use your Access ID and Password exceeds such authority, you are fully liable for all transfers and payments made by such person until you have notified us that you have terminated the authority granted to such person and have given us a reasonable period of time to act upon such notice. You will be prompted to change your password every three hundred sixty-five (365) days. If you would like to change your password more frequently, this can be done at any time, after you are logged in, from the “options” menu. Your session time is limited to sixty (60) minutes. But to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of your accounts, we will end your online session if we have detected no activity for fifteen (15) continuous minutes. This is to protect you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you log in. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to re-enter your password and your session will re-start. It is very important that you properly log out of Online Banking by clicking the LOGOUT button at the top of the screen. Logging out is the only way we know you have ended your session. If your Access ID and Password is dormant for a prolonged period of time, for security purposes, we may restrict access and require you to reapply. If Online Banking is not available due to malfunction of the system or circumstances beyond our control, you should access your accounts by other means such as visiting our branch, ATM access, check, debit card, our automated telephone banking service, or by telephoning us. Coastal Carolina National Bank and its third-party providers are not responsible or liable for any expenses or losses incurred by you as a result of the online service being unavailable.

6 of 20 Balance Inquiries and Transfers: You may use CCNB Online Banking to check the balance of your accounts and transfer funds between your eligible accounts. The balances shown in your accounts may differ from your records due to deposits not available for withdrawal, outstanding checks or other withdrawals, payments or charges. If you have further questions, contact us at customersupport@myccnb.com. Limitations on Frequency of Transfers: You may initiate an unlimited number of transfers from your checking account(s). For savings and money market accounts, applicable federal regulations impose certain limits to pre-authorized, automatic and telephone transfers (including online transfers) to six per statement cycle, no more than three of which may be made by check, draft, or similar order payable to third parties. If a hold has been placed on deposits made to an account from which you wish to transfer funds or a restriction has been imposed, you cannot transfer the funds.

If we have given provisional credit, a corresponding debit will be withdrawn from your account. Notice of Your Liability: Contact the Bank at once if you believe your Access ID and/or Password has been lost, stolen, used without your authorization, or otherwise compromised, or if someone has transferred or may transfer funds from your accounts without your permission. Contacting us by telephone is the best way to reduce any possible losses. If you contact us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your Access ID and/or Password, your liability, or you should have learned, will not exceed fifty dollars ($50) if someone used your Access ID and/or Password without your permission.

If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact the Bank at once. If you do not tell the Bank within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you will be held liable for 7 of 20 the amount of any unauthorized transfer(s) made after the sixty (60) day time period if it is reasonable to conclude that the transfer(s) would not have occurred had you notified us within the sixty (60) day time period.
