For Share Savings, IRA Savings, Holiday Savings, Vacation Savings, and Coverdell Education Savings (ESA) accounts, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change quarterly as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. For Extra Credit Money Market Savings, Ultimate Rewards Checking, and Checking accounts, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change monthly as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields are the rates and yields as of the last dividend declaration date that is set forth in the Rate Schedule. The Extra Credit Money Market Savings accounts are tiered rate accounts. If your daily balance is from $0.01 to $2,499.99, the first dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply. If your daily balance is from $2,500.00 to $9,999.99, the second dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed for this account will apply.

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. The Ultimate Rewards Checking (URC) accounts are tiered rate accounts. If your daily balance is from $5,000.00 or below and you meet all of the following minimum service requirements during the qualification cycle, the first Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply: 1) having one direct deposit to your Ultimate Rewards Checking; 2) receiving your monthly statement electronically 3) making 10 debit card point-of-sale purchases that are cleared and posted to your account 4) authorize one automatic payment from your Ultimate Rewards Checking.

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 earning accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account.
5. BALANCE INFORMATION — To open any account, you must deposit or already have on deposit the minimum required share(s) in a share (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.

ACCOUNT LIMITATIONS — For Share Savings, Extra Credit Money Market Savings, Holiday Savings, Vacation Savings, and Special Share Savings accounts, you may make no more than six (6) transfers and withdrawals from your account to another account of yours or to a third party in any month by means of a preauthorized, automatic, or Internet transfer, by telephonic order or instruction, or by check, draft, debit card or similar order. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed. For Holiday Savings accounts, 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.

Truth in Savings: Certificates:
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 are fixed and will be in effect for the initial term of the account. For accounts subject to dividend compounding, the annual percentage yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.
2. DIVIDEND PERIOD — For each account, the dividend period is the account’s term. The dividend period begins on the first day of the term and ends on the maturity date.
3. DIVIDEND COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING — The compounding and crediting frequency of dividends are stated in the Rate Schedule.
4. BALANCE INFORMATION — To open an account, you must deposit or already have on deposit the minimum required share(s) in a share (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 all accounts, dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
5. 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.
6. TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS — For all accounts, your ability to make deposits to your account and any limitations on such transactions are stated in the Rate Schedule. For all accounts, after your account is opened, you may make withdrawals of principal subject to the early withdrawal penalties stated below.
7. MATURITY — Your account will mature as stated on this Truth-in-Savings Disclosure or on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice.
8. EARLY WITHDRAWAL PENALTY — We may impose a penalty if you withdraw funds from your account before the maturity date.
a. Amount of Penalty. For all accounts, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. The penalty schedule is as follows:
Terms of 6 months 90 days’ dividends
Terms of 9 months 120 days’ dividends
Terms of 12 months 180 days’ dividends
Terms of 18 months 270 days’ dividends
Terms of 24 months 360 days’ dividends
Terms of 36 months 450 days’ dividends
Terms of 48 months 540 days’ dividends
b. 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 dividends have already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.
c. 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 the establishment of the account, provided that the depositor forfeits an amount at least equal to the simple dividends earned in the amount withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA and the owner attains age 59½ or becomes disabled. 9. RENEWAL POLICY — The renewal policy for your accounts is stated in the Rate Schedule. For accounts that automatically renew for another term, you have a grace period of 7 days after maturity in which to withdraw funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty.
10. NONTRANSFERABLE/NONNEGOTIABLE — Your account is nontransferable and non-negotiable.
11. MEMBERSHIP — As a condition of membership, you must purchase and maintain the minimum required share(s) as set forth below.
