About your Orokii Account
Electronic Fund Transfers (“EFTs”) and Account Balances. Orokii partners with financial services software company Checkbook Inc. to offer you electronic fund transfers (EFTs). When you create an Orokii Account, link a bank account, or initiate an ETF, you authorize us to share your identity and banking information with Checkbook to support your account. You also agree to Checkbook’s terms and privacy policy (the “Partner Terms”). It is your responsibility to ensure the data you provide us is accurate and complete, which is necessary for our partners to process EFTs on your behalf. The Partner Terms may be modified occasionally, and the governing versions are incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy. Any term not defined in this section but defined in the Partner Terms assumes the meaning defined in the Partner Terms. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PARTNER TERMS BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONCERNING YOUR OROKII ACCOUNT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

Your Orokii Account is an electronic money account, not a bank account. For further information on how we manage your money, please visit the FAQ
