Truth In Savings Disclosures
Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all
of the accounts:
1. Rate Information. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage
Yield on your accounts are set forth above. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield
may change monthly for Hi-Yield Money Market and quarterly for Share, Severance, and IRA
Accounts as determined by the Board of Directors. The Hi-Yield Money Market is a tiered
rate account. The Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields applicable to the account
depends on the balance range as set forth above. Each Dividend Rate will apply only to
that portion of the account balance with each tier. For Certificate accounts, the Dividend
Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the
account. For Certificate accounts, the Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption
that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.
IRA Accounts are a Variable Rate Certificate, Rates change Quarterly.
2. Nature of Dividends. For Share, Severance, Hi-Yield Money
Market and IRA Savings accounts, dividends are paid from current income and available
earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. The
Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield set forth above are the prospective rates that
the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period.
3. Compounding and Crediting. Dividends will be compounded and
credited as set forth above. For dividend bearing accounts, the Dividend Period begins on
the first calendar day of the quarter and ends on the last calendar day of the quarter.
4. Accrual of Dividends. 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.
5. Balance Information. The minimum balance required to open each
account is set forth above. For all accounts, dividends are calculated by the average
daily balance method. 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
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. For Share and
Hi-Yield Money Market accounts, there is a minimum daily balance requirement to earn
dividends and obtain the stated Annual Percentage Yield as set forth above.
6. Transaction Limitations. For Share accounts, transaction
limitations will apply. No more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, 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 accounts may be
subject to a fee or be closed.
7. Certificate and IRA Account Features.
a. Account Limitations. After your account is opened, you may not
make additional deposits to a Certificate account. Additional deposits are allowed for IRA
accounts.
b. Maturity. Your Certificate or IRA account will mature within
the term set forth above or maturity date set forth on your Account Receipt or Renewal
Notice.
c. Early Withdrawal Penalty. We may impose a penalty if you
withdraw any of the principal of your Certificate or IRA account before the maturity date.
(1) Amount of Penalty. For Certificate accounts, the amount of
the early withdrawal penalty is based on the following penalty schedule:
Cd's 3-12 month term 30 days dividends
Cd's 12-60 month term 90 days dividends
(1A) For IRA accounts, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty is 90
days dividends.
(2) How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated as a
forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned at the nominal
dividend rate on the account. It applies whether or not dividends have been earned. In
other words, if the account has not you earned enough dividends or if dividends have
already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.
(3) Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties. At our option, we
may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the
following circumstances:
i. When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a
court or other body of competent jurisdiction.
ii. Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any
portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment; provided that the depositor
forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividends earned in the amount
withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA and the owner attains age 59 1/2 or becomes
disabled.
d. Renewal Policy. All Certificate and IRA Accounts are
automatically renewable accounts. You have a grace period of seven (7) business days after
maturity in which to withdraw the funds in the account without being charged an early
withdrawal penalty.
e. Nontransferable/Nonnegotiable. Your account is nontransferable
and nonnegotiable. The funds in your account may not be pledged to secure any obligation
of an owner, except obligations with the Credit Union.
