  • Full network access – allows the app to connect to the Internet. 
  • Hardware controls for pictures and videos – picture and video functionality are disabled in the app, but accepting this permission request is required to install the app.

In this context, transmission to and receipt by the Bank of the Official Image will have the same effect as if the Instrument was delivered to a branch of the Bank for negotiation and clearing. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that this role as agent cannot be further delegated by the Customer. Further, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Customer shall be personally responsible and liable for:
    1. compliance with this Agreement,
    2. maintaining adequate security over any Access Terminal used, the location of use of the Access Terminal, and any passwords so as to prevent use by others or interception of data transmitted,

b)     The Bank may, upon receipt of what reasonably appears to qualify as an Official Image, treat such as an Official Image and, as if it were an original of an Instrument received at a branch of the Bank, subject to the Account Agreement and any of the Bank’s policies governing Instruments;

c)     the creation of an Official Image will be done using a method authorized by the Bank, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Further, the Customer agrees to take all proper and necessary precautions to prevent any other person from purporting to create or transmit an Official Image to the credit of the Customer’s Account;

d)     nothing in this Agreement obliges the Bank to accept for deposit any item whether it is or purports to be an Official Image. The Customer shall not purport to create or transmit an Official Image of any item that does not qualify as an Eligible Cheque Instrument or any item that is post-dated, stale-dated, received by the Customer from anyone other than the drawer of that item, or that is in any way altered. If the Customer has any suspicions or concerns about the authenticity, validity, negotiability, or chain of title to any item purporting to be an Eligible Cheque Instrument, then the Customer shall not seek to use the Deposit AnywhereTM Service for negotiation or collection of that item, but will instead bring the original of that item to the counter of the branch of Account, identify the specific concerns to the Bank, and fully disclose all material facts known by the Customer relating to that item and fully cooperate with any inquiry or investigation of the concerns;

e)     under the Deposit AnywhereTM Service, Eligible Cheque Instruments are restricted to those Instruments in Canadian dollars or United States dollars, drawn on a financial institution domiciled in Canada or the United States, as and if applicable, in the Bank’s sole discretion, from time to time. The Customer shall not seek to use the Deposit AnywhereTM Service to deposit any Instrument into an Account different than the currency denominated on the Instrument. Canadian dollar Instruments shall only be deposited to a Canadian dollar Account. United States dollar Instruments shall only be deposited to a United States dollar Account. If the Customer uses the Deposit AnywhereTM Service with an Instrument that does not qualify for this Service, the Bank, at its discretion, may refuse to negotiate that Instrument or seek to collect on the Instrument on the Customer’s behalf, as though it was a qualifying Instrument but without any liability on the Bank’s part for any delay, inability to collect or any issue arising that inhibits or prevents the Bank from collecting funds on the Instrument;

f)     Official Images received through the Deposit AnywhereTM Service are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without prior notice to the Customer;

g)     any Transaction made on any day or at any time during which the Bank is not open for business, may be credited to the Account on the Bank’s next business day;

h)     once an Official Image of an Eligible Cheque Instrument has been transmitted to the Bank through the Deposit AnywhereTM Service, no further Official Images of that Eligible Cheque Instrument will be created or transmitted through the Deposit AnywhereTM Service (or any other similar service) unless the Customer is requested to do so by the Bank in writing. Further, the Customer agrees to make no further use of the original of an imaged Eligible Cheque Instrument, and shall safely retain possession of the original of the Eligible Cheque Instrument without further negotiation, transfer, or delivery to any other person or holder. In addition to all obligations and responsibilities either set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere, the Customer agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and its service providers and Central 1 and all of their connected parties, including, without limitation, their respective agents, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and licensees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim or demand arising out of or connected to the Customer’s use of the Deposit AnywhereTM Service or duplicate negotiation of items that were at any time presented as Official Images of Eligible Cheque Instruments. The Customer must assist and cooperate as fully as reasonably required by the Indemnified Parties in the defence of any such claim or demand. The disclaimers, liability exclusions, liability limitations, and indemnity provisions in this Agreement survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement and apply to the extent permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Customer will indemnify and save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability, costs, loss, expenses, and damages, including direct, indirect, and consequential incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach of this Agreement, or any claims arising from or relating to misuse of Official Images or items purporting to be Official Images, or negotiation of Eligible Cheque Instruments where an Official Image has also been transmitted for collection;

i)      on transmission of an Official Image of an Eligible Cheque Instrument to the Bank, the Customer is responsible for immediately marking the face of the Eligible Cheque Instrument with a blatant notation or mark that prevents renegotiation of the Eligible Cheque Instrument and indicates that the Eligible Cheque Instrument has been imaged and transmitted, taking care not to obliterate any material particulars of that Eligible Cheque Instrument. (For example: This can be done by writing “void” or “paid” or placing a diagonal stroke across the face of the item with a pen, or brightly coloured highlighter.) For a period of 120 days after transmission of the Official Image to the Bank, or such shorter period as stipulated by the Bank in writing, the Customer shall retain and produce to the Bank on written request the original of all imaged Eligible Cheque Instruments. If the Customer receives a written request to retain or produce, the Customer will comply with the written request, and shall, if requested, produce, by delivering to the Bank, the original of all specified Eligible Cheque Instruments within 5 business days of such request. If the Customer fails to comply with the written request made pursuant to this provision, then the Bank can place or continue a hold on or reverse any credit made to the Account in relation to those specified Eligible Cheque Instruments, even if such creates an overdraft on the Account. If no written request is received within that time, then 120 calendar days after an Official Image has been transmitted to the Bank through the Deposit AnywhereTM Service or such shorter period as stipulated by the Bank in writing, and provided that the Customer has verified a credit to the Account that reconciles to the Official Image transmitted, the Customer agrees to immediately proceed with destruction of the original of the Eligible Cheque Instrument. Destruction methods include shredding, pulping, burning, or any other means that ensures that the original Instrument cannot be reused;

j)      the Customer is responsible for any and all costs associated with obtaining a replacement Instrument in the event that the Bank requests that the Customer re- transmit an Official Image in accordance with h) above, and the original Instrument was destroyed in accordance with i) above or otherwise lost;

k)     In the Bank’s sole discretion, electronic notices for purposes related to the Deposit AnywhereTM Service may be generated and sent to the Customer after the Customer uses the Deposit AnywhereTM Service to transmit an Official Image, including to advise the Customer of the receipt by the Bank of an Official Image;

l)      an electronic notice, if any, sent in connection with the Deposit AnywhereTM Service is for information purposes only and is no guarantee that the Official Image will be accepted by the Bank or that the Account will be credited; and

m)   The Bank will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage, or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising as a result of use of the Deposit AnywhereTM Service, including, but not limited to, a delay in processing a Transaction or if the Bank requires the Customer to obtain another Instrument.

Service fees
The customer agrees to pay to the Bank the Bank’s service fees, as amended by the Bank from time to time, for use of the CWBdirect® Services and/or conducting a Transaction. The Customer authorizes the Bank to deduct any applicable service fees from any Account.
Stop payments and releases

A stop payment is an instruction by the Customer to the Bank to refuse payment if that cheque is presented to the Bank for payment. A release of stop payment negates a stop payment. The Customer acknowledges that the Bank cannot stop payment of a cheque which has cleared the Customer’s Account or has been negotiated at a CWB branch and a cheque can only be stopped if all information required by the on-screen prompts is provided including

The number of the Account on which the cheque is drawn, and the serial number, date and amount of that cheque. The Bank may accept the Customers instruction to stop payment on a cheque without determining whether the cheque has been honoured on presentment. The Customer agrees that the Bank is not liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising from the Bank complying or failing to comply with a stop payment or a release of a stop payment.
