Subscriber warrants that no End User will be allowed to initiate transfers in the absence of proper supervision and safeguards and agrees to take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the security procedures and any passwords, codes, security measures, and related instructions provided by YASBe. If Subscriber believes or suspects that any such information has been accessed by an unauthorized individual, Subscriber will verbally notify YASBe immediately, followed by written confirmation. The occurrence of such notification will not affect any transfers made in good faith by YASBe prior to the notification and within a reasonable time period to prevent unauthorized transfers.
Data Security:
Limiting access and securely storing transaction data used in the routing and settlement of transactions is a critical data security precaution. Subscriber’s ability to limit access to production data can be done through commercially available software pro ducts. Access can be limited to specific programs, user IDs, or read -only or read -and- edit -only access functionality. Files can also be transmitted between participants using the following data protection methods: encryption and authentication.
Encryption is a process of scrambling data content through hardware or software to protect the confidentiality of a file’s contents. This information should remain encrypted using commercially reasonable procedures and must be transmitted using security technology.
Authentication is a process of ensuring that files and data content have not been altered between the originator and receiving points. Like encryption, this can be done using hardware or software to ensure data integrity.
Subscriber understands and agrees that the authenticity of any ACH file or entry transmitted using the Platform will be verified pursuant to the following security procedures:
YASBe’ Security Procedures:Subscriber hereby agrees to be bound by any transfer, whether or not authorized, issued in Subscriber’s or End User’s name in compliance with Subscriber’s selected security procedures, as follows:
YASBe will issue a login and password or API keys to Subscriber for an account on a secure FTP or other site or to access YASBe’ API. Subscriber will upload the payment files to that secure site or issue payment orders via API. Any file or instruction received by the Platform in the account at the site or via API may be conclusively accepted by YASBe as authorized by Subscriber.
