Updated Tiered Account Limits for Enhanced Security and Operational Flexibility

To better serve our customers and ensure a secure banking experience, we have structured transaction and deposit limits based on account tiers. Each tier comes with specific transaction ceilings and corresponding documentation requirements, allowing us to maintain stringent fraud prevention measures while enhancing account functionality. Customers can easily upgrade their account tier to access higher transaction limits by meeting the documentation criteria associated with each tier.

If a customer attempts a transaction exceeding their current tier’s maximum limit, the transaction will be temporarily held in Pending Tier Settlement (accessible via eBanking). Additional documentation may be required to process the transaction, providing both compliance and security.
