TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES

TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES

Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts. All accounts described in this Rate and Fee Schedule 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 Share Certificate account, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the account. For Share, Vacation, Christmas Club, and IRA accounts, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield may change quarterly as determined by the
Credit Union’s Board of Directors. For Share Draft accounts, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield may change monthly as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.

Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.

Dividends Compounding and Crediting. The compounding and crediting of dividends applicable to each account is 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 Dividend Period and ends on the last calendar day of the Dividend Period. The Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields are the rates and yields as of the last dividend declaration date which is set forth in the Rate Schedule.

Balance Information. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For all Share Certificate and IRA Share Certificate accounts, dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. For all other accounts, dividends are calculated by using an Average Daily Balance method which applies 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.

Accrual of Dividends. For all accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on non-cash deposits (e.g., checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. For all accounts, if you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.

Transaction Limitations. For Share and IRA accounts, no more than six (6) pre-authorized, 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 November 1 and the account will remain open. If you withdraw any of the account balance at any time, we will impose a fee of all dividends and close account. For Vacation and Share Draft accounts, no account limitations apply. For Share Certificate account, your ability to make additional deposits to your account or withdrawals of dividends after your account is opened, and any limitations on such transactions, are set forth in the Rate Schedule. Withdrawals may be made but not enough to fall below the minimum required balance.

FOR SHARE CERTIFICATE AND IRA SHARE CERTIFICATE ACCOUNTS ONLY

Maturity. Your account will mature as indicated on the Rate and Fee Schedule or on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice. Early Withdrawal Penalty. We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date. Amount of Penalty. For all Certificate accounts, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty to your account is 90 days dividend.

How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal. 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:

  • When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or a body of competent jurisdiction.
  • Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within ten (10) days after establishment; or where the account is Keogh Plan (Keogh) provided that the depositor forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividend earned in the amount withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA or Keogh and the owner attains age 59 1/2 or becomes disabled.

Renewal Policy. The renewal policy for your accounts is as follows:

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.

The rates and fees appearing in this Schedule are accurate and effective for accounts as of the Effective Date indicated on this Rate and Fee Schedule. If you have any questions or require current rate and fee information on your accounts, please call the Credit Union.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY

This Disclosure describes your ability to withdraw funds at Heartland Area Federal Credit Union.

General Policy. Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 5:00 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 5:00 p.m. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Reservation of Right to Hold. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $250 of your deposit will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the next business day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

Holds on Other Funds. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Longer Delays May Apply. We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons:

  • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
  • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
  • You deposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
  • There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.
  • Two party checks.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the eleventh business day after the day of your deposit.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open: Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s certified, teller’s, traveler’s, and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the next business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

Deposits at Non-proprietary ATMs. Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until three (3) business day after the date of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate. All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.

Foreign Checks. Checks drawn on financial institutions located outside the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this disclosure. Generally, the availability of the funds for deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institutions upon which it is drawn.

If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Card or code without your permission.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time.
