Truth in Savings
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY AFFECT THE AMOUNT
OF DIVIDENDS YOU RECEIVE ON YOUR ACCOUNT
NATURE OF DIVIDENDS AND RELATION TO APY
Except in the case of term share accounts (where
the dividend rate is fixed for the term of the account certificate), dividends
may be paid only from current income and accumulated earnings, after required
transfers to reserves at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rate and
annual percentage yield applicable to an account may therefore change from time
to time as determined by the Credit Union's Board of Directors in its
discretion. The dividend period of the Credit Union is
(Quarterly), beginning on the first day of such period and ending
on the last day of the period.
As used in these disclosures, (I) "dividend
rate" means the dividend paid (or expected to be paid) on an account,
without giving effect to the compounding of previously earned dividends, shown
as the annual figure and expressed as a percentage of the account balance; and
(ii) "annual percentage yield" or "APY" means a percentage
rate reflecting the total amount of dividends expected to be earned in a year
on a account based on the dividend rate and the frequency of compounding
accrued dividends.
All disclosures concerning the APY applicable to
an account (other than term share accounts) assume that the dividend rate
disclosed remains in effect for one year and that dividends are not withdrawn.
FREQUENCY OF COMPOUNDING DIVIDENDS AND THE
METHOD OF DETERMINING THE BALANCE ON WHICH DIVIDENDS ARE PAID.
Unless otherwise stated in an enclosed
disclosure card related to a specific type of account, dividends are
compounded [ Quarterly ] and credited [ Quarterly ]
on balances of $100.00 or more based on the [ Average ] daily
balance in your account. You can compute the dividends eamed on your account
each day by then multiplying the then current simple annual dividend rate times
the [ Average daily ] balance in your account at the end of each day,
divided by 365 or 366 days as applicable. The amount of dividends you earn for
each day will be added to your principle balance [ daily/monthly/etc. ]. If you
withdraw funds from your account before dividends are paid, you will receive
dividends accrued on the funds prior to withdrawal, but such dividends will not
be credited to your account until the next dividend declaration date.
If you close your account prior to a
dividend declaration date you will not receive any dividends accrued prior to
the date the account was closed.
Different rules apply to early withdrawals from
a term share account and are described in the separate disclosure card
applicable to term share accounts enclosed with this brochure or otherwise
available from the Credit I Union
MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS
Unless otherwise stated in an enclosed
disclosure card related to a specific type of account, in order for your
account to earn dividends [ for a day, you must have an actual account balance
of at least $100.00 that day. If your actual account balance
falls below $100.00 that day you will not earn any dividends for
that day.] [for a dividend period, you must maintain an average daily balance
of at least $ N/A during that period. If you average daily balance falls
below $ N/A for that dividend period, you will not earn any
dividends during that dividend period.]
In order to earn the annual percentage yield
disclosed elsewhere for a particular account, you must meet the minimum balance
requirement applicable to that account at all times.
FEES AND PENALTIES
Your account will be charged any applicable
fees, charges, and/or penalties as set forth in our fee schedule. a copy of
which is included as Dart of this brochure.
COLLECTION OF NON-CASH DEPOSITS
Every share draft, check, or other item other
than cash which is accepted for deposit in your account will be provisionally
credited to your account on the day it is deposited, or, in the case of
deposits received after 2pm, on the next business day, and earn dividends from
the day it is so provisionally credited to your account. If, however. the
Credit Union is subsequently unable in the normal course of business to obtain
payment for that item, you will not earn any dividends on that deposit.

prior to the effective date of changes of the sort described below which will
reduce your APY or otherwise adversely affect your account.
