All denials of a transaction by a Subscriber's bank, all holds, and all other similar issues are the Subscriber's sole responsibility and should be dealt with between the Subscriber and his or her bank. As required by applicable law, SBU must and will take all necessary and reasonable steps to ensure that all data transmitted by SBU is done safely, securely, and privately.
