ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES
Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts. All accounts described in this Truth-in-Savings Disclosure are share accounts.
RATE INFORMATION - The annual percentage yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For all accounts, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change monthly as determined by the Credit Union's Board of Directors. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields are the rates and yield as of the last dividend declaration date, which is set forth in the Rate Schedule. The Money Market account is a tiered rate account. If your average daily balance is $2,499.99 or below, the first dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply. If your average daily balance is from $2,500.00 to $24,999.99, the second dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account will apply. If your average daily balance is from $25,000.00 to $99,999.99, the third dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account will apply. If your average daily balance is $100,000.00 or greater, the fourth dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account will apply. Once a particular range is met, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield for that balance range will apply to the full balance of your account.
NATURE OF DIVIDENDS - Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.
DIVIDEND COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING - The compounding and crediting frequency of dividends and the dividend period applicable to each account are stated in the Rate Schedule. The dividend period is the period of time at the end of which an account earns dividend credit. The dividend period begins on the first calendar day of the period and ends on the last calendar day of the period.
ACCRUAL OF DIVIDENDS - For all accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. If you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, you will not receive the accrued dividends. However, for Christmas Club and Vacation Club accounts, any accrued dividends will be paid if you close the account within seven (7) days of the date you open it.
BALANCE INFORMATION - To open any account, you must deposit or already have on deposit at least the par value of one full share in any account. The par value amount is stated in the Fee Schedule. Some accounts may have additional minimum opening deposit requirements. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are stated in the Rate Schedule. For all accounts, there is a minimum average daily balance required to earn the annual percentage yield disclosed for the dividend period. If the minimum average daily balance is not met, you will not earn the annual percentage yield stated in the Rate Schedule. For accounts using the average daily balance method as stated on the Rate Schedule, dividends are calculated by applying a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the dividend period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
ACCOUNT LIMITATIONS - For Regular Savings, Escrow Savings, Special Savings, and Money Market accounts, you may make no more than six (6) transfers and withdrawals from your account to another account of yours or to a third party in any month by means of a preauthorized, automatic or Internet transfer, by telephonic order or instruction, or by check, draft, debit card or similar order. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed. For Christmas Club accounts, the entire balance will be paid to you by check or transferred to another account of yours on or after November 1 and the account will remain open. You may not make withdrawals from your account at any other time. If you wish to access the funds in your Christmas Club accounts, you may close it. If you close your Christmas Club accounts, you will be charged a fee of all accrued, uncredited dividends. However, no fee will be charged if the withdrawal occurs within seven (7) days of the date the account is opened. For Vacation Club accounts, the entire balance will be paid to you by check on or after June 1 and the account will remain open. You may not make withdrawals from your account at any other time. If you wish to access the funds in your Vacation Club accounts, you may close it. If you close your Vacation Club accounts, you will be charged a fee of all accrued, uncredited dividends. However, no fee will be charged if the withdrawal occurs within seven (7) days of the date the account is opened. For Share Draft Checking accounts, no account limitations apply.
FEES FOR OVERDRAWING ACCOUNTS - Fees may be imposed on each check, draft, item, ATM card withdrawal, debit card point of purchase, preauthorized automatic debit, telephone initiated withdrawal or any other electronic withdrawal or transfer transaction that is drawn on an insufficient available account balance. The entire balance in your account may not be available for withdrawal, transfer or paying a check, draft or item.
