Communications you send through online banking — including secure messages and transaction notes — may be reviewed by the bank, and this consent is a condition of using the service.
Interpretive note: The precise scope of monitoring disclosed in the agreement could not be verified from the encrypted PDF source; the general nature of this provision is inferred from standard Bank of America agreement terms and publicly available versions.
The updated Deposit Agreement now explicitly discloses that disputes are subject to mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions, as stated prominently at the document's opening. The agreement establishes separate dispute resolution procedures for personal and business accounts and introduces new operational provisions governing account closure, jurisdiction and venue, cutoff times for legal orders, and responses to conflicting demands. The terms require that by using or maintaining your account after a change is effective, you agree to be bound by the updated provisions. You can review the complete updated agreement on bankofamerica.com or contact Bank of America directly if you wish to understand how the specific dispute resolution procedures apply to your account.
