Truth in Savings Disclosure


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.


1. 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 Super Share account is a Tiered Rate account. If your account balance is $5,000.00 or below, the first Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply. If your account balance is from $5,000.01 to $10,000.00, the second Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield listed for this account will apply. If your account balance is from $10,000.01 to $25,000.00, the third Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield listed for this account will apply. If your account balance is greater than $25,000.00, the fourth Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield listed for this account will apply. Once a particular balance range is met, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield for that balance range will apply to the full balance of your account.


2. Nature of Dividends

Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period. The Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields are the prospective rates and yields that the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period.


3. Dividend Compounding and Crediting

The compounding and crediting of dividends and dividend period applicable to each account are set forth 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.


4. 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, accrued dividends will not be paid. However, for Christmas Club and School Club accounts, any accrued dividends will be paid if you close the account within seven (7) days of the date you open it.


5. 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 set forth in the Rate Schedule. For Share Draft accounts, there is a minimum average daily balance required to avoid a service fee for the dividend period. If the minimum average daily balance is not met, there will be a service fee as set forth on the reverse side. For all accounts, there is a minimum average daily balance required to obtain the Annual Percentage Yield for the dividend period. If the minimum average daily balance is not met, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For all accounts using an Average Daily Balance method, dividends are calculated by applying a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is determined by adding the full amount of principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. To keep membership account open, members must maintain a minimum balance of $5.00.


6. Account Limitations

For Regular Share and Super Share accounts, no more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, or telephone transfers may be made from these accounts to another account of yours or to a third party in any month, and no more than three (3) of these six (6) transfers may be made by check, draft, or debit card to a third party. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed. For a Christmas Club account, the entire balance will be paid to you by check or transferred to another account of yours on or after December 1st and the account will remain open. You may be charged a withdrawal fee for each withdrawal from the account. However, no fee will be charged if the withdrawal occurs within seven (7) days of the date the accounts is opened. For a School Club account, the entire balance will be paid to you by check or transferred to another account of yours on or after August 1 and the account will remain open. You may be charged a withdrawal fee for each withdrawal from the account. However, no fee will be charged if the withdrawal occurs within seven (7) days of the date the accounts is opened. For Regular Share accounts, two (2) withdrawals per month are allowed, after which a fee will be imposed. For IRA and Share Draft accounts, no account limitations apply.


7. 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. You may consult the Funds Availability Policy 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 Fee Schedule for current fee information.
