Disclosures

*APY = Annual Percentage Yield.

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 at any time as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields are the prospective rates and yields that the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period. Money Market accounts are tiered rate accounts. The balance ranges and corresponding dividend rates and annual percentage yields applicable to each tier are disclosed in the Rate Schedule. For Money Market accounts, 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. True Earnings Checking accounts are tiered rate accounts. Please refer to section 2 for additional details about these accounts.

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 earning accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account.

Balance Information. To open any account, you must deposit or already have on deposit the minimum required share(s) in a Savings account. Some accounts may have additional minimum opening deposit requirements. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For Savings, HSA Checking, True Youth Savings, True Youth Checking, True Checking, and True Earnings Checking 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 requirement is not met, you will not earn the annual percentage yield stated in the Rate Schedule. For Money Market accounts, there is a minimum daily balance required to earn the annual percentage yield disclosed for the dividend period. If the minimum daily balance requirement is not met each day of the period, you will not earn the annual percentage yield stated in the Rate Schedule. For accounts using the average daily balance method as stated in 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 principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. For accounts using the daily balance method as stated in the Rate Schedule dividends are calculated by applying a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

Account Limitations. For IRA Savings accounts, limitations and/or penalties imposed by the IRS may apply. For HSA Checking, True Checking, and True Earnings Checking accounts, if your account is zero ($0) and here has been no activity during the previous 90-day period, your account will be considered inactive and will be subject to closure without further notice. For HSA Savings and HSA Checking accounts, limitations and/or penalties imposed by the IRA may apply. For True Youth Savings accounts, You must be less than eighteen (18) years of age to open the account. Once you reach the age of eighteen (18), your account will be converted to a regular Savings Account. For True Youth Checking accounts, you must be less than eighteen (18) years of age to open the account. Once you reach the age of eighteen (18), your account will be converted to a regular Checking account. For Savings and Money Market accounts, no account limitations apply.

Fees for Overdrawing Accounts. Fees for overdrawing your account may be imposed on each check, draft, item, ATM transaction and one-time debit card transaction (if member has consented to overdraft protection plan for ATM and one-time debit card transactions), 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. You may consult the Membership and Account Agreement and Funds Availability Policy Disclosure for information regarding the availability of funds in your account. Fees for overdrawing your account may be imposed for each overdraft, regardless of whether we pay or return the draft, item or transaction. If we have approved an overdraft protection limit for your account, such fees may reduce your approved limit. Please refer to the Schedule of Fees and Charges for current fee information. For ATM and one-time debit card transactions, you must consent to the Credit Union’s overdraft protection plan in order for the transaction amount to be covered under the plan. Without your consent, the Credit Union may not authorize and pay an overdraft resulting from these types of transactions. Services and fees for overdrafts are shown in the document the credit union uses to capture the member’s opt-in choice for overdraft protection and the Schedule of Fees and Charges.
