To activate External Transfers you must have at least one eligible deposit account with BOK Financial such as a checking, money market or savings account.

External Transfers

These terms and conditions constitute the agreement ("Agreement") between you and BOK Financial ("Bank") with respect to the provision of External Transfer Services to you. Your use of the External Transfer Services constitutes your agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In this Agreement, the words "you" and "yours" mean each person who applied for the External Transfer Services, and the terms "us" and "we" mean the Bank. This Agreement is in addition to other agreements between the parties.

Transfers To and From External Accounts

External Transfer Services can be used to transfer funds between an Eligible Account and one or more External Accounts. An Eligible Account is any checking, savings or money market account owned by you and held by us, to which you have access via Online Access. An External Account is an account you own and hold at a financial institution in the United States, other than with us. An External Transfer is a transfer to an External Account from your Eligible Account, or a transfer to your Eligible Account from an External Account. To activate External Transfer Services you must have at least one Eligible Account.

Charges For This Service

You agree to pay fees for External Transfers as set forth in our Summary of Fees, as amended from time to time. The fee for any External Transfer will be disclosed to you within Online Access before you submit any request for an External Transfer. You agree to pay the fee as disclosed. For other fees applicable to your deposit account, please see your Agreements & Disclosures and the Summary of Fees. You authorize us to deduct the amount of each fee from your Eligible Account.

Transaction Limits

Transfers to or from External Accounts may be made in amounts of up to $2,500 per day in the aggregate.

Transfer Authorization and Processing

  • As a user of External Transfer Services, you represent and warrant that you are a named owner of each External Account, you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds from each External Account, and that each External Account is located in the United States.
  • You will use External Transfer Services in accordance with the process set forth in Online Access. When you request an External Transfer from your Eligible Account, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you. You also authorize us to reverse a credit to your External Account if the transaction is returned for any reason, including but not limited to insufficient funds, errors or for security reasons.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of all information that you provide through Online Access when you request an External Transfer, and that you inform us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong account once we receive notice of the error and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. However, we do not guarantee that we can stop or recover such a transfer, and we will have no responsibility or liability for any damages you may suffer as a result of incorrect information that you provided in connection with External Transfer Services.

Liability for Failure to Make Transfers

We will use reasonable efforts to make all your External Transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any External Transfer initiated by you under any one or more of the following circumstances:

  • If, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the External Transfer or the External Transfer would exceed the credit limit of any overdraft line of credit that may be available to you;
  • External Transfer Services is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  • The External Transfer is refused as described below;
  • You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct information for the account to which, or from which, the External Transfer was intended to be made; and/or
  • Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s) at which an External Account is held, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the External Transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Our liability is explained in any agreements, notices and disclosures that we separately provide to you from time to time regarding your accounts. This section explains our liability to you only to the extent that our liability has not been separately disclosed to you by any of these agreements, notices, or disclosures. Under no circumstances will we have any liability to you for failing to provide you access to your accounts to conduct an External Transfer. Furthermore, unless otherwise required by applicable law, we will only be responsible for performing External Transfers as expressly stated in this Agreement and will only be liable for material losses incurred by you to the extent such losses directly result from our gross negligence or intentional misconduct in performing External Transfer Services or as required by law.

Unless otherwise required by law, in no event will we or our affiliates be liable to you for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages including, without limitation, lost profits and attorney's fees, even if we are advised in advance of the possibility of such damages.

We will not be obligated to honor, in whole or in part, any transaction or instruction which:

  • is not in accordance with any term or condition applicable to External Transfer Services or any related account;
  • would result in our exceeding any limitation of our intra-day net funds position established pursuant to present or future Federal Reserve guidelines;
  • would violate any applicable provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any applicable law, rule, or regulation of any other federal or state regulatory authority; or
  • is not in accordance with any other requirement of our applicable policies, procedures or practices.

Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any External Transfer. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds per a requested External Transfer. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited transfer under this Agreement.

Returned Transfers. You understand that External Transfers may be returned for various reasons (for example, because the number of the account intended to receive the External Transfer is not valid, or because of insufficient funds in the account from which the External Transfer is to be made). We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the External Transfer to the intended account or void the External Transfer and credit the account from which the External Transfer was made.

Your Liability For Unauthorized Transfers

If you tell us within sixty (60) days of the transaction first appearing on your statement, you shall have no liability for unauthorized use. Contact us at once if you discover your password has been lost or stolen or your account is otherwise subject to access. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement containing an unauthorized transaction was mailed to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the unauthorized transfer if you had told us on time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the External Transfers you make only in the following situations:

  • Where it is necessary for completing External Transfers
  • In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant
  • In order to comply with a governmental agency or court orders
  • If you give us your written permission
  • As otherwise stated in our Privacy Policy located on our Web Site

Transfers submitted before the 10 p.m. (CT) business day cutoff time from a BOK Financial account to an external account can take up to three business days for the funds to be credited to the external transfer account, following the date of the transfer.

Canceling a Transfer

One-time, same-day external transfers cannot be canceled once the transfer has been submitted. Future-dated external transfers can be canceled any time prior to the scheduled transfer date.

In the Event You have Insufficient Funds

In initiating an outbound External Transfer, you are requesting us to make payments for you from your Eligible Account. If you attempt to transfer an amount larger than your Available Balance, and you have chosen to opt in to ATM and everyday debit card transactions, we, in our discretion, may permit the transfer of the amount over and above the amount of your Available Balance, in which case you will be charged an Overdraft Fee in accordance with the terms of the Agreements & Disclosures governing your deposit account. You are responsible for checking the status of transactions on your account.
