Protecting your privacy is important to Banque Inter and our
employees. We believe the confidentiality and protection of customer information
is one of our most fundamental responsibilities. Whether you are an existing
customer or are considering a relationship with us, you have an interest in how
we collect, use, retain and secure nonpublic personal information. And while
information is critical to providing quality services, we recognize that one of
our most important assets is our customers' trust.
If we change our
privacy policies, a revised customer privacy notice will promptly be posted to
our web site (http://www.banque-inter.com/). You

the web site as actual notice to you. You should review the customer privacy
notice periodically to remain informed of any changes. Any dispute between you

and our general policies, terms, and procedures governing Banque Inter
customer and other accounts, including where applicable, arbitration of disputes
and limitation of damages.
