Funds Availability:

Effective date: 7/1/2025

Important new information about making withdrawals from your account – We are making changes to our funds availability policy with you. The dollar amounts shown in bold
italics have increased. The result of this change is that, in the circumstance when the updated dollar amounts apply, more money will be made available to you sooner.

YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS

This policy statement applies to “transaction” accounts, but not to savings or share savings accounts. Transaction accounts, in general, are accounts which permit an unlimited
number of payments to third persons and an unlimited number of telephone and preauthorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us. Share draft accounts are the most
common transaction accounts. Savings accounts and share savings accounts are examples of savings deposits. Feel free to ask us whether any of your other accounts might also
be under this policy.
Our policy is to make funds from your check deposits available to you on the second business day after the day we receive your deposit, with the first $275 available on the first
business day after the day of your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Cash, wire transfers, and some specified check deposits
will also be available before the second business day, as detailed below. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that
you have written.
Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to
us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
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 closing 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 closing or on a day we are not open, we will consider
that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

Same-Day Availability
Funds from cash, electronic direct deposits and wire transfers.

Next-Day Availability
The first $6,725.00 from deposits of cashiers, certified and tellers checks, state and local government checks, Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks
and postal money orders that are payable to you. The excess over $6,725.00 will be available on the fifth business day after the day of your deposit.

Other Check Deposits Subject to Second-Day Availability
The first $275 from a deposit of other checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the second
business day after the day of your deposit.
For example, if you deposit a check of $700 on a Monday, $275 of the deposit is available on Tuesday. The remaining $425 is available on Wednesday.
If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, 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 bank, 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
Funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
You deposit checks totaling more than $6,725 on any one day.
You redeposit 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 computer or communications equipment.
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 seventh 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 deposits of cash, electronic direct deposits and wire transfers will be available on the day we receive the deposit. The first $6,725.00 from deposits of cashier’s,
certified, tellers, travelers, checks payable to you will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit. The excess over $6,725.00 will be available on the ninth (9th)
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 AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) will be available on the second business day after the day of deposit, except that U.S.
Treasury checks that are payable to you deposited at ATMs that we own or operate will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit. Also, the first $275 of a
deposit made at ATMs we own or operate will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit. Checks drawn on Central Jersey Federal Credit Union will be available
on the first business day after the day of deposit if the deposit is made at an ATM located on our premises.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR ACCOUNT

AGREEMENT – This document, along with any other documents we give you pertaining to your account(s), is a contract (also referred to as “this agreement”) that establishes rules
which control your account(s) with us. Please read this carefully and retain it for future reference. If you open the account (whether in-person, electronically, or by any other method
permitted by us) or continue to use the account after receiving a notice of change or amendment, you agree to these rules. You will receive a separate schedule of rates, qualifying
balances, and fees if they are not included in this agreement. If you have any questions, please ask us.
A credit report will be run prior to opening an account online and in branch for verifying identity and to offer beneficial cross sell opportunities.
This agreement is subject to applicable federal laws, the laws of the state of New Jersey and other applicable rules such as the operating letters of the Federal Reserve Banks and
payment processing system rules (except to the extent that this agreement can and does vary such rules or laws). The body of state and federal law that governs our relationship
with you, however, is too large and complex to be reproduced here. The purpose of this agreement is to:
(1) summarize some laws that apply to common transactions;
(2) establish rules to cover transactions or events which the law does not regulate;
(3) establish rules for certain transactions or events which the law regulates but permits variation by agreement; and
(4) give you disclosures of some of our policies to which you may be entitled or in which you may be interested.
If any provision of this agreement is found to be unenforceable according to its terms, all remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. We may permit some variations
from our standard agreement, but we must agree to any variation in writing either on the signature card for your account or in some other document. Nothing in this agreement is
intended to vary our duty to act in good faith and with ordinary care when required by law.
As used in this agreement the words “we,” “our,” and “us” mean the financial institution and the words “you” and “your” mean the account holder(s) and anyone else with the
authority to deposit, withdraw, or exercise control over the funds in the account. However, this agreement does not intend, and the terms “you” and “your” should not be interpreted,
to expand an individual’s responsibility for an organization’s liability. If this account is owned by a corporation, partnership or other organization, individual liability is determined by
the laws generally applicable to that type of organization. The headings in this agreement are for convenience or reference only and will not govern the interpretation of the
provisions. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used in this agreement should be construed so the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the
singular.
As used in this agreement, “party” means a person who has a present right, subject to request, to payment from the account. A P.O.D. payee or beneficiary of a revocable trust
account is a party only after the account becomes payable to them by reason of their surviving the original payee or trustee. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “party” includes a
guardian, conservator, personal representative or assignee, including an attaching creditor, of a party. It also includes a person identified as a trustee (of a trust created by a separate
agreement) of an account for another whether or not a beneficiary is named, but it does not include any named beneficiary unless they have a present right of withdrawal.
BYLAWS – Our bylaws, which we may amend from time to time, establish basic rules about our credit union policies and operations which affect your account and membership.
You may obtain a copy of the bylaws on request. Our right to require you to give us notice of your intention to withdraw funds from your account is described in the bylaws. Unless
we have agreed otherwise, you are not entitled to receive any original item after it is paid, although you may request that we send you an item(s) or a copy of an item(s). Dividends
are based on current earnings and available earnings of the credit union, after providing for required reserves.
LIABILITY – You agree, for yourself (and the person or entity you represent if you sign as a representative of another) to the terms of this account and the schedule of charges. You
authorize us to deduct these charges, without notice to you, directly from the account balance as accrued. You will pay any additional reasonable charges for services you request
which are not covered by this agreement.
Each of you also agrees to be jointly and severally (individually) liable for any account shortage resulting from charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another with access
to this account. This liability is due immediately, and we can deduct any amounts deposited into the account and apply those amounts to the shortage. You have no right to defer
payment of this liability, and you are liable regardless of whether you signed the item or benefited from the charge or overdraft.
You will be liable for our costs as well as for our reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by law, whether incurred as a result of collection or in any other dispute involving
your account. This includes, but is not limited to, disputes between you and another joint owner; you and an authorized signer or similar party; or a third party claiming an interest in
your account. This also includes any action that you or a third party takes regarding the account that causes us, in good faith, to seek the advice of an attorney, whether or not we
become involved in the dispute. All costs and attorneys’ fees can be deducted from your account when they are incurred, without notice to you.
DEPOSITS – We will give only provisional credit until collection is final for any items, other than cash, we accept for deposit (including items drawn “on us”). Before settlement of any
item becomes final, we act only as your agent, regardless of the form of indorsement or lack of indorsement on the item and even though we provide you provisional credit for the
item. We may reverse any provisional credit for items that are lost, stolen, or returned. We are not responsible for transactions by mail or outside depository until we actually record
them. We will treat and record all transactions received after our “daily cutoff time” on a business day we are open, or received on a day we are not open for business, as if initiated on
the next business day that we are open. At our option, we may take an item for collection rather than for deposit. If we accept a third-party check or draft for deposit, we may require
any third-party indorsers to verify or guarantee their indorsements, or indorse in our presence.
WITHDRAWALS
Important terms for accounts where more than one person can withdraw – Unless clearly indicated otherwise on the account records, any of you, acting alone, who signs to
open the account or has authority to make withdrawals may withdraw or transfer all or any part of the account balance at any time. Each of you (until we receive written notice to the
contrary) authorizes each other person who signs or has authority to make withdrawals to indorse any item payable to you or your order for deposit to this account or any other
transaction with us.
Postdated checks – A postdated check is one which bears a date later than the date on which the check is written. We may properly pay and charge your account for a postdated
check even though payment was made before the date of the check, unless we have received written notice of the postdating in time to have a reasonable opportunity to act.
Because we process checks mechanically, your notice will not be effective and we will not be liable for failing to honor your notice unless it precisely identifies the number, date,
amount and payee of the item.
Checks and withdrawal rules – If you do not purchase your check blanks from us, you must be certain that we approve the check blanks you purchase. We may refuse any
withdrawal or transfer request which you attempt on forms not approved by us or by any method we do not specifically permit. We may refuse any withdrawal or transfer request
which is greater in number than the frequency permitted by our policy, or which is for an amount greater or less than any withdrawal limitations. We will use the date the transaction
is completed by us (as opposed to the date you initiate it) to apply any frequency limitations. In addition, we may place limitations on the account until your identity is verified.
Even if we honor a nonconforming request, we are not required to do so later. If you violate the stated transaction limitations (if any), in our discretion we may close your account or
reclassify your account as another type of account. If we reclassify your account, your account will be subject to the fees and earnings rules of the new account classification.
If we are presented with an item drawn against your account that would be a “substitute check,” as defined by law, but for an error or defect in the item introduced in the substitute
check creation process, you agree that we may pay such item.
Cash withdrawals – We recommend you take care when making large cash withdrawals because carrying large amounts of cash may pose a danger to your personal safety. As an
alternative to making a large cash withdrawal, you may want to consider a cashier’s check or similar instrument. You assume full responsibility of any loss in the event the cash you
withdraw is lost, stolen, or destroyed. You agree to hold us harmless from any loss you incur as a result of your decision to withdraw funds in the form of cash.
Multiple signatures, electronic check conversion, and similar transactions – An electronic check conversion transaction is a transaction where a check or similar item is
converted into an electronic fund transfer as defined in the Electronic Fund Transfers regulation. In these types of transactions the check or similar item is either removed from
circulation (truncated) or given back to you. As a result, we have no opportunity to review the signatures or otherwise examine the original check or item. You agree that, as to these
or any items as to which we have no opportunity to examine the signatures, you waive any requirement of multiple signatures.
UNDERSTANDING AND AVOIDING OVERDRAFT AND NONSUFFICIENT FUNDS (NSF) FEES
Generally – The information in this section is being provided to help you understand what happens if your account is overdrawn. Understanding the concepts of overdrafts and
nonsufficient funds (NSF) is important and can help you avoid being assessed fees or charges. This section also provides contractual terms relating to overdrafts and NSF
transactions.
An overdrawn account will typically result in you being charged an overdraft fee or an NSF fee. Generally, an overdraft occurs when there is not enough money in your account to
pay for a transaction, but we pay (or cover) the transaction anyway. An NSF transaction is slightly different. In an NSF transaction, we do not cover the transaction. Instead, the
transaction is rejected and the item or requested payment is returned. In either situation, we can charge you a fee.
Determining your available balance – We use the “available balance” method to determine whether your account is overdrawn, that is, whether there is enough money in your
account to pay for a transaction. Importantly, your “available” balance may not be the same as your account’s “actual” balance. This means an overdraft or an NSF transaction could
occur regardless of your account’s actual balance.
Your account’s actual balance (sometimes called the ledger balance) only includes transactions that have settled up to that point in time, that is, transactions (deposits and
payments) that have posted to your account. The actual balance does not include outstanding transactions (such as checks that have not yet cleared and electronic transactions
that have been authorized but which are still pending). The balance on your periodic statement is the ledger balance for your account as of the statement date.
As the name implies, your available balance is calculated based on the money “available” in your account to make payments. In other words, the available balance takes ACH credit
transactions and debit card transactions that have been authorized, but not yet settled, and adds or subtracts them from the actual balance. In addition, when calculating your
available balance, any “holds” placed on deposits that have not yet cleared are also subtracted from the actual balance. For more information on how holds placed on funds in your
account can impact your available balance, read the subsection titled “A temporary debit authorization hold affects your account balance.”
Overdrafts – You understand that we may, at our discretion, honor withdrawal requests that overdraw your account. However, the fact that we may honor withdrawal requests that
overdraw the account balance does not obligate us to do so later. So you can NOT rely on us to pay overdrafts on your account regardless of how frequently or under what
circumstances we have paid overdrafts on your account in the past. We can change our practice of paying, or not paying, discretionary overdrafts on your account without notice to
you. You can ask us if we have other account services that might be available to you where we commit to paying overdrafts under certain circumstances, such as an overdraft
protection line-of-credit or a plan to sweep funds from another account you have with us. You agree that we may charge fees for overdrafts. We may use subsequent deposits,
including direct deposits of social security or other government benefits, to cover such overdrafts and overdraft fees.
Nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees – If an item drafted by you (such as a check) or a transaction you set up (such as a preauthorized transfer) is presented for payment in an amount
that is more than the amount of money available in your account, and we decide not to pay the item or transaction, you agree that we can charge you an NSF fee for returning the
payment. Be aware that such an item or payment may be presented multiple times by the merchant or other payee until it is paid, and that we do not monitor or control the number
of times a transaction is presented for payment. You agree that we may charge you an NSF fee each time a payment is presented if the amount of money available in your account
is not sufficient to cover the payment, regardless of the number of times the payment is presented.
Payment types – Some, but not necessarily all, of the ways you can access the funds in your account include debit card transactions, automated clearing house (ACH)
transactions, and check transactions. A debit card transaction might be authorized by use of a PIN, a signature, chip or tap. An example of an ACH transaction is a preauthorized
payment you have set up on a recurring basis. All these payment types can use different processing systems and some may take more or less time to post. This information is
important for a number of reasons. For example, keeping track of the checks you write and the timing of the preauthorized payments you set up will help you to know what other
transactions might still post against your account. For information about how and when we process these different payment types, see the “Payment order of items” subsection
below.
Important information regarding “decoupled” cards – Decoupled debit cards are debit cards offered or issued by an institution or merchant other than us. As part of the issuing
process, you provide the decoupled debit card issuer with the information it needs to link the decoupled debit card to your account with us. Once this is done, you can typically use
the decoupled debit card as you would any other debit card. Importantly, however, while transactions initiated with these decoupled debit cards may originate as debit card
transactions paid by the card issuer, we receive and process them as ACH transactions. Additionally, you need to refer to your agreement with the decoupled debit card issuer to
understand the terms of use for that card. Thus, when our documentation refers to “debit cards,” “everyday debit card transactions,” or “one-time debit card transactions,” we are
referring to debit cards issued by us, not decoupled debit cards issued by other institutions or merchants. Different payment types can use different processing systems and some
may take more or less time to post. Knowing which card you are using and how the transaction is processed can help you manage your finances, including helping you to avoid
overdraft or NSF fees.
Balance information – Keeping track of your balance is important. You can review your balance in a number of ways including reviewing your periodic statement, reviewing your
balance online, accessing your account information by phone, or coming into one of our branches.
Funds availability – Knowing when funds you deposit will be made available for withdrawal is another important concept that can help you avoid being assessed fees or charges.
Please see our funds availability disclosure (generally titled, “Your Ability to Withdraw Funds”) for information on when different types of deposits will be made available for
withdrawal. For an account to which our funds availability policy disclosure does not apply, you can ask us when you make a deposit when those funds will be available for
withdrawal. An item may be returned after the funds from the deposit of that item are made available for withdrawal. In that case, we will reverse the credit of the item. We may
determine the amount of available funds in your account for the purpose of deciding whether to return an item for insufficient funds at any time between the times we receive the
item and when we return the item or send a notice in lieu of return. We need only make one determination, but if we choose to make a subsequent determination, the account
balance at the subsequent time will determine whether there are insufficient available funds.
A temporary debit authorization hold affects your account balance – On debit card purchases, merchants may request a temporary hold on your account for a specified sum of
money when the merchant does not know the exact amount of the purchase at the time the card is authorized. The amount of the temporary hold may be more than the actual
amount of your purchase. Some common transactions where this occurs involve purchases of gasoline, hotel rooms, or meals at restaurants. When this happens, our processing
system cannot determine that the amount of the hold exceeds the actual amount of your purchase. This temporary hold, and the amount charged to your account, will eventually be
adjusted to the actual amount of your purchase, but it could be three calendar days, or even longer in some cases, before the adjustment is made. Until the adjustment is made, the
amount of funds in your account available for other transactions will be reduced by the amount of the temporary hold. If one or more transactions are presented for payment in an
amount greater than the funds left after the deduction of the temporary hold amount, you will be charged an NSF or overdraft fee according to our NSF or overdraft fee policy, which
may result in one or more overdraft or NSF fees. You will be charged the fee even if you would have had sufficient funds in your account if the amount of the hold had been equal to
the amount of your purchase.
Payment order of items – The order in which items are paid is important if there is not enough money in your account to pay all of the items that are presented. The payment order
can affect the number of items overdrawn or returned unpaid and the amount of the fees you may have to pay. To assist you in managing your account, we are providing you with
the following information regarding how we process those items.
Our policy is to process Internet Banking, Telephone Teller, ATM, POS, Over the Counter Checks, and Debit Card Transactions in real time in the order they are received on the
day they are processed.
During our nightly process ACH and Bill Payment Items are posted first, followed by Inclearing Checks.
We process ACH Debits, Bill Payment, and Inclearing Checks by dollar amount – smallest to largest on the day they are processed.
If one or more checks, items, or transactions are presented without sufficient funds in your account to pay it, you will be charged an NSF or overdraft fee according to our NSF or
overdraft fee policy, which may result in one or more overdraft or NSF fees. The amounts of the overdraft and NSF fees are disclosed elsewhere. We encourage you to make
careful records and practice good account management. This will help you to avoid creating items without sufficient funds and potentially incurring the resulting fees.
ALL PERSONAL ACCOUNTS – These rules apply to this account depending on the form of ownership and beneficiary designation, if any, specified on the account records. We
reserve the right to refuse some forms of ownership and beneficiary designations on any or all of our accounts unless otherwise prohibited by law. We make no representations as
to the appropriateness or effect of the ownership and beneficiary designations, except as they determine to whom we pay the account funds.
Individual Account – is an account in the name of one person.
Multiple-Party Accounts (joint accounts, trust accounts, and pay-on-death accounts) – A multiple-party account is one with more than one party, or a trust or pay-on-death
(P.O.D.) account. Any party to this agreement may withdraw all or any portion of the account balance unless otherwise indicated on the account records. Such accounts are subject
to the Multiple Party Deposit Account Act, New Jersey Statutes Annotated (NJSA) § 17:16I-1 et seq. (P.L. 1979 c. 491), and we will not be liable because of any payments made
pursuant to the Act. We may make payment from this account, including payment of the entire account balance, (i) pursuant to any statutory or common law right of setoff, levy,
attachment or other valid legal process or court order, relating to the interest of any one or more of the parties; and (ii) on request to a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver in any state or
Federal insolvency proceeding, or other duly authorized insolvency representative of any one or more of the parties. The financial institution is not required to determine net
contributions. Each party owns their net contribution to the account. In the absence of proof of net contribution, and unless the parties have specifically agreed otherwise, each party
will own an equal share of this account. Ownership of a multiple-party account cannot be changed by will.
Joint Account – With Survivorship (And Not As Tenants In Common) – is owned by two or more parties. Upon the death of a party: (a) where there is only one surviving party,
the entire account will belong to the survivor; (b) where there are two or more surviving parties, each party will continue to own their proportionate share as joint tenants with
survivorship and not as tenants in common. The portion of the account owned by the deceased party will be shared equally by the survivors.
Revocable Trust or Pay-On-Death Account – If two or more of you create such an account, you own the account jointly with survivorship. Beneficiaries or P.O.D. payees cannot
withdraw unless: (1) all parties creating the account die, (2) the beneficiary/P.O.D. payee is then living, and (3) we are not otherwise required by New Jersey law to make payment
to a parent, custodian, or guardian. If two or more beneficiaries/P.O.D. payees are named and survive the death of all parties creating the account, such beneficiaries/P.O.D.
payees will own this account in equal shares, without right of survivorship. The party(ies) creating either of these account types reserves the right to: (1) change beneficiaries/P.O.D.
payees, (2) change account types, and (3) withdraw all or part of the account funds at any time.
BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION AND ASSOCIATION ACCOUNTS – Earnings in the form of interest, dividends, or credits will be paid only on collected funds, unless otherwise
provided by law or our policy. You represent that you have the authority to open and conduct business on this account on behalf of the entity. We may require the governing body of
the entity opening the account to give us a separate authorization telling us who is authorized to act on its behalf. We will honor the authorization until we actually receive written
notice of a change from the governing body of the entity.
STOP PAYMENTS – Unless otherwise provided, the rules in this section cover stopping payment of items such as checks and drafts. Rules for stopping payment of other types of
transfers of funds, such as consumer electronic fund transfers, may be established by law or our policy. If we have not disclosed these rules to you elsewhere, you may ask us
about those rules.
We may accept an order to stop payment on any item from any one of you. You must make any stop-payment order in the manner required by law and we must receive it in time to
give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cutoff time. Because the most effective way for us to execute a stop-payment order is by using an automated
process, to be effective, your stop-payment order must precisely identify the number, date, and amount of the item, and the payee. You may stop payment on any item drawn on
your account whether you sign the item or not. Generally, if your stop-payment order is given to us in writing it is effective for six months. Your order will lapse after that time if you
do not renew the order in writing before the end of the six-month period. If the original stop-payment order was oral your stop-payment order will lapse after 14 calendar days if you
do not confirm your order in writing within that time period. We are not obligated to notify you when a stop-payment order expires.
If you stop payment on an item and we incur any damages or expenses because of the stop payment, you agree to indemnify us for those damages or expenses, including
attorneys’ fees. You assign to us all rights against the payee or any other holder of the item. You agree to cooperate with us in any legal actions that we may take against such
persons. You should be aware that anyone holding the item may be entitled to enforce payment against you despite the stop-payment order.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS – A telephone transfer of funds from this account to another account with us, if otherwise arranged for or permitted, may be made by the same persons
and under the same conditions generally applicable to withdrawals made in writing. Limitations on the number of telephonic transfers from a savings account, if any, are described
elsewhere.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION – We may amend or delete any term of our bylaws or this agreement. We may also add new terms to our bylaws or to this agreement. In
addition, we may suspend, modify, convert, or terminate a service, convert this account to another account type, or close this account for any reason (including if your membership
in the credit union terminates). For any of these types of changes, we will give you reasonable notice in writing by any reasonable method including by mail, by any electronic
communication method to which you have agreed, on or with a periodic statement, or through any other method permitted by law. If we close the account, we will tender the account
balance to you or your agent personally, by mail, or by another agreed upon method.
Reasonable notice depends on the circumstances, and in some cases, such as when we cannot verify your identity or we suspect fraud, it might be reasonable for us to give you
notice after the change becomes effective. For instance, if we suspect fraudulent activity with respect to your account, and if we deem it appropriate under the circumstances and
necessary to prevent further fraud, we might immediately freeze or close your account and then give you notice.
Unless otherwise indicated in the notice of change, if we have notified you of a change to your account, and you continue to have your account after the effective date of the
change, you have accepted and agreed to the new or modified terms. You should review any change in terms notice carefully as the notice will provide important information of
which you may need to be aware.
We reserve the right to waive any term of this agreement. However, such waiver shall not affect our right to enforce the term at a later date.
If you request that we close your account, you are responsible for leaving enough money in the account to cover any outstanding items or transactions to be paid from the account.
Once any outstanding items or transactions are paid, we will close the account and tender the account balance, if any, to you or your agent personally, by mail, or by another
agreed upon method. Only a joint tenant that is a member can close an account.
Any items and transactions presented for payment after the account is closed may be dishonored. Any deposits we receive after the account is closed may be returned. We will not
be liable for any damages for not honoring any such debits or deposits received after the account is closed.
Note: Rules governing changes in interest rates are provided separately in the Truth-in-Savings disclosure or in another document. In addition, for changes governed by a specific
law or regulation, we will follow the specific timing and format notice requirements of those laws or regulations. The credit union reserves the right to close any existing account that
is inactive for six months (three months for new account), may or has caused a loss to the credit union.
CORRECTION OF CLERICAL ERRORS – Unless otherwise prohibited by law, you agree, if determined necessary in our reasonable discretion, to allow us to correct clerical
errors, such as obtaining your missing signature, on any account documents or disclosures that are part of our agreement with you. For errors on your periodic statement, please
refer to the STATEMENTS section.
NOTICES – Any written notice you give us is effective when we actually receive it, and it must be given to us according to the specific delivery instructions provided elsewhere, if
any. We must receive any notice in time to have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If a notice is regarding a check or other item, you must give us sufficient information to be able
to identify the check or item, including the precise check or item number, amount, date and payee. Notice we give you via the United States Mail is effective when it is deposited in
the United States Mail with proper postage and addressed to your mailing address we currently have on file. Notice we give you through your email of record, or other electronic
method to which you agreed, will be treated as delivered to you when sent. Notice to any of you is notice to all of you.
STATEMENTS – Your duty to report unauthorized signatures (including forgeries and counterfeit checks) and alterations on checks and other items – You must examine
your statement of account with “reasonable promptness.” If you discover (or reasonably should have discovered) any unauthorized signatures (including forgeries and counterfeit
checks) or alterations, you must promptly notify us of the relevant facts. As between you and us, if you fail to do either of these duties, you will have to either share the loss with us,
or bear the loss entirely yourself (depending on whether we used ordinary care and, if not, whether we substantially contributed to the loss). The loss could be not only with respect
to items on the statement but other items with unauthorized signatures or alterations by the same wrongdoer.
You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance, exceed a total of 30 days from
when the statement is first sent or made available to you.
You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized signatures or alterations in your account within 60 days of when we first send or make the statement available, you
cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and as between you and us the loss will be entirely yours. This 60-day limitation is without regard to whether we
used ordinary care. The limitation in this paragraph is in addition to that contained in the first paragraph of this section.
Your duty to report other errors or problems – In addition to your duty to review your statements for unauthorized signatures and alterations, you agree to examine your
statement with reasonable promptness for any other error or problem – such as an encoding error or an unexpected deposit amount. Also, if you receive or we make available either
your items or images of your items, you must examine them for any unauthorized or missing indorsements or any other problems. You agree that the time you have to examine your
statement and items and report to us will depend on the circumstances. However, this time period shall not exceed 60 days. Failure to examine your statement and items and report
any errors to us within 60 days of when we first send or make the statement available precludes you from asserting a claim against us for any errors on items identified in that
statement and as between you and us the loss will be entirely yours.
Errors relating to electronic fund transfers or substitute checks – For information on errors relating to electronic fund transfers (e.g., online, mobile, debit card or ATM
transactions) refer to your Electronic Fund Transfers disclosure and the sections on consumer liability and error resolution. For information on errors relating to a substitute check
you received, refer to your disclosure entitled Substitute Checks and Your Rights.
Duty to notify if statement not received – You agree to immediately notify us if you do not receive your statement by the date you normally expect to receive it. Not receiving your
statement in a timely manner is a sign that there may be an issue with your account, such as possible fraud or identity theft. Absent a lack of ordinary care by us, a failure to receive
your statement in a timely manner does not extend the time you have to conduct your review under this agreement.
ACCOUNT TRANSFER – This account may not be transferred or assigned without our prior written consent.
REIMBURSEMENT OF FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENTS – If we are required for any reason to reimburse the federal government for all or any portion of a benefit payment that
was directly deposited into your account, you authorize us to deduct the amount of our liability to the federal government from the account or from any other account you have with
us, without prior notice and at any time, except as prohibited by law. We may also use any other available legal remedy to recover the amount of our liability.
TEMPORARY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT – If the account documentation indicates that this is a temporary account agreement, each person who signs to open the account or has
authority to make withdrawals (except as indicated to the contrary) may transact business on this account. However, we may at some time in the future restrict or prohibit further use
of this account if you fail to comply with the requirements we have imposed within a reasonable time.
RIGHT TO REPAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS – You each agree that we may (without prior notice and when permitted by law) charge against and deduct from this account any
due and payable debt any of you owe us now or in the future. If this account is owned by one or more of you as individuals, we may set off any funds in the account against a due
and payable debt a partnership owes us now or in the future, to the extent of your liability as a partner for the partnership debt. If your debt arises from a promissory note, then the
amount of the due and payable debt will be the full amount we have demanded, as entitled under the terms of the note, and this amount may include any portion of the balance for
which we have properly accelerated the due date.
In addition to these contract rights, we may also have rights under a “statutory lien.” A “lien” on property is a creditor’s right to obtain ownership of the property in the event a debtor
defaults on a debt. A “statutory lien” is one created by federal or state statute. If federal or state law provides us with a statutory lien, then we are authorized to apply, without prior
notice, your shares and dividends to any debt you owe us, in accord with the statutory lien.
Neither our contract rights nor rights under a statutory lien apply to this account if prohibited by law. For example, neither our contract rights nor rights under a statutory lien apply to
this account if: (a) it is an Individual Retirement Account or similar tax-deferred account, or (b) the debt is created by a consumer credit transaction under a credit card plan (but this
does not affect our rights under any consensual security interest), or (c) the debtor’s right of withdrawal arises only in a representative capacity. We will not be liable for the dishonor
of any check or draft when the dishonor occurs because we charge and deduct an amount you owe us from your account. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as
a result of our exercise of our right to repayment.
AUTHORIZED SIGNER (Individual Accounts only) – A single individual is the owner. The authorized signer is merely designated to conduct transactions on the owner’s behalf.
The owner does not give up any rights to act on the account, and the authorized signer may not in any manner affect the rights of the owner or beneficiaries, if any, other than by
withdrawing funds from the account. The owner is responsible for any transactions of the authorized signer. We undertake no obligation to monitor transactions to determine that
they are on the owner’s behalf.
The owner may terminate the authorization at any time, and the authorization is automatically terminated by the death of the owner. However, we may continue to honor the
transactions of the authorized signer until: (a) we have received written notice or have actual knowledge of the termination of authority, and (b) we have a reasonable opportunity to
act on that notice or knowledge. We may refuse to accept the designation of an authorized signer.
RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS OR INDORSEMENTS – The automated processing of the large volume of checks we receive prevents us from inspecting or looking for restrictive
legends, restrictive indorsements or other special instructions on every check. For this reason, we are not required to honor any restrictive legend or indorsement or other special
instruction placed on checks you write unless we have agreed in writing to the restriction or instruction. Unless we have agreed in writing, we are not responsible for any losses,
claims, damages, or expenses that result from your placement of these restrictions or instructions on your checks. Examples of restrictive legends placed on checks are “must be
presented within 90 days” or “not valid for more than $1,000.00.” The payee’s signature accompanied by the words “for deposit only” is an example of a restrictive indorsement.
FACSIMILE SIGNATURES – Unless you make advance arrangements with us, we have no obligation to honor facsimile signatures on your checks or other orders. If we do agree
to honor items containing facsimile signatures, you authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, or other orders, for the payment of money, that are drawn on us.
You give us this authority regardless of by whom or by what means the facsimile signature(s) may have been affixed so long as they resemble the facsimile signature specimen filed
with us, and contain the required number of signatures for this purpose. You must notify us at once if you suspect that your facsimile signature is being or has been misused.
PLEDGES – Each owner of this account may pledge all or any part of the funds in it for any purpose to which we agree. Any pledge of this account must first be satisfied before the
rights of any surviving account owner or account beneficiary become effective.
CHECK PROCESSING – We process items mechanically by relying almost exclusively on the information encoded in magnetic ink along the bottom of the items. This means that
we do not individually examine all of your items to determine if the item is properly completed, signed and indorsed or to determine if it contains any information other than what is
encoded in magnetic ink. You agree that we have exercised ordinary care if our automated processing is consistent with general banking practice, even though we do not inspect
each item. Because we do not inspect each item, if you write a check to multiple payees, we can properly pay the check regardless of the number of indorsements unless you notify
us in writing that the check requires multiple indorsements. We must receive the notice in time for us to have a reasonable opportunity to act on it, and you must tell us the precise
date of the check, amount, check number and payee. We are not responsible for any unauthorized signature or alteration that would not be identified by a reasonable inspection of
the item. Using an automated process helps us keep costs down for you and all account holders.
CHECK CASHING – We may charge a fee for anyone that does not have an account with us who is cashing a check, draft or other instrument written on your account. We may also
require reasonable identification to cash a check, draft or other instrument. We can decide what identification is reasonable under the circumstances and such identification may be
documentary or physical and may include collecting a thumbprint or fingerprint.
INDORSEMENTS – We may accept for deposit any item payable to you or your order, even if they are not indorsed by you. We may give cash back to any one of you. We may
supply any missing indorsement(s) for any item we accept for deposit or collection, and you warrant that all indorsements are genuine.
To ensure that your check or share draft is processed without delay, you must indorse it (sign it on the back) in a specific area. Your entire indorsement (whether a signature or a
stamp) along with any other indorsement information (e.g. additional indorsements, ID information, driver’s license number, etc.) must fall within 11/2” of the “trailing edge” of a check.
Indorsements must be made in blue or black ink, so that they are readable by automated check processing equipment.
As you look at the front of a check, the “trailing edge” is the left edge. When you flip the check over, be sure to keep all indorsement information within 11/2” of that edge.
It is important that you confine the indorsement information to this area since the remaining blank space will be used by others in the processing of the check to place additional
needed indorsements and information. You agree that you will indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless for any loss, liability, damage or expense that occurs because your
indorsement, another indorsement or information you have printed on the back of the check obscures our indorsement.
These indorsement guidelines apply to both personal and business checks.
DEATH OR INCOMPETENCE – You agree to notify us promptly if any person with a right to withdraw funds from your account(s) dies or is adjudicated (determined by the
appropriate official) incompetent. We may continue to honor your checks, items, and instructions until: (a) we know of your death or adjudication of incompetence, and (b) we have
had a reasonable opportunity to act on that knowledge. You agree that we may pay or certify checks drawn on or before the date of death or adjudication of incompetence for up to
ten (10) days after your death or adjudication of incompetence unless ordered to stop payment by someone claiming an interest in the account.
FIDUCIARY ACCOUNTS – Accounts may be opened by a person acting in a fiduciary capacity. A fiduciary is someone who is appointed to act on behalf of and for the benefit of
another. We are not responsible for the actions of a fiduciary, including the misuse of funds. This account may be opened and maintained by a person or persons named as a
trustee under a written trust agreement, or as executors, administrators, or conservators under court orders. You understand that by merely opening such an account, we are not
acting in the capacity of a trustee in connection with the trust nor do we undertake any obligation to monitor or enforce the terms of the trust or letters.
CREDIT VERIFICATION – You agree that we may verify credit and employment history by any necessary means, including preparation of a credit report by a credit reporting
agency.
LEGAL ACTIONS AFFECTING YOUR ACCOUNT – If we are served with a subpoena, restraining order, writ of attachment or execution, levy, garnishment, search warrant, or
similar order relating to your account (termed “legal action” in this section), we will comply with that legal action as required by applicable law. However, nothing in this agreement
shall be construed as a waiver of any rights you may have under applicable law with regards to such legal action. Subject to applicable law, we may, in our sole discretion, choose
to freeze the assets in the account and not allow any payments or transfers out of the account, or take other action as may be appropriate under the circumstances, until there is
a final court determination regarding the legal action. We may do these things even if the legal action involves less than all of you. In these cases, we will not have any liability to
you if there are insufficient funds to pay your items because we have withdrawn funds from your account or in any way restricted access to your funds in accordance with the
legal action and applicable law. Any fees or expenses we incur in responding to any legal action (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, and our internal expenses) may be
charged against your account, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. The list of fees applicable to your account(s) – provided elsewhere – may specify additional fees that
we may charge for responding to certain legal actions.
ACCOUNT SECURITY
Your duty to protect account information and methods of access – Our policy may require methods of verifying your identity before providing you with a service or allowing you
access to your account. We can decide what identification is reasonable under the circumstances. For example, process and identification requirements may vary depending on
whether they are online or in person. Identification may be documentary or physical and may include collecting a fingerprint, voiceprint, or other biometric information.
It is your responsibility to protect the account numbers and electronic access devices (e.g., an ATM card) we provide you for your accounts. You should also safeguard your
username, password, and other access and identifying information when accessing your account through a computer or other electronic, audio, or mobile device or technology. If
you give anyone authority to access the account on your behalf, you should exercise caution and ensure the trustworthiness of that agent. Do not discuss, compare, or share
information about your account numbers with anyone unless you are willing to give them full use of your money. An account number can be used by thieves to issue an electronic
debit or to encode your number on a false demand draft which looks like and functions like an authorized check. If you furnish your access device or information and grant actual
authority to make transfers to another person (a family member or coworker, for example) who then exceeds that authority, you are liable for the transfers unless we have been
notified that transfers by that person are no longer authorized. Your account number can also be used to electronically remove money from your account, and payment can be
made from your account even though you did not contact us directly and order the payment.
You must also take precaution in safeguarding your blank checks. Notify us at once if you believe your checks have been lost or stolen. As between you and us, if you are negligent
in safeguarding your checks, you must bear the loss entirely yourself or share the loss with us (we may have to share some of the loss if we failed to use ordinary care and if we
substantially contributed to the loss).
Positive pay and other fraud prevention services – Except for consumer electronic fund transfers subject to Regulation E, you agree that if we offer you services appropriate for
your account to help identify and limit fraud or other unauthorized transactions against your account, and you reject those services, you will be responsible for any fraudulent or
unauthorized transactions which could have been prevented by the services we offered. You will not be responsible for such transactions if we acted in bad faith or to the extent our
negligence contributed to the loss. Such services include positive pay or commercially reasonable security procedures. If we offered you a commercially reasonable security
procedure which you reject, you agree that you are responsible for any payment order, whether authorized or not, that we accept in compliance with an alternative security
procedure that you have selected. The positive pay service can help detect and prevent check fraud and is appropriate for account holders that issue a high volume of checks, a lot
of checks to the general public, or checks for large dollar amounts.
INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOU – Unless required by law or we have agreed otherwise in writing, we are not required to act upon instructions you give us via facsimile transmission,
email, voicemail, or phone call to a facsimile number, email address, or phone number not designated by us for a particular purpose or for a purpose that is unrelated to the request
or instruction.
MONITORING AND RECORDING TELEPHONE CALLS AND ACCOUNT COMMUNICATIONS – Subject to federal and state law, we may monitor or record phone calls for
security reasons, to maintain a record, and to ensure that you receive courteous and efficient service. You consent in advance to any such recording.
To provide you with the best possible service in our ongoing business relationship for your account, we may need to contact you about your account from time to time by telephone,
text messaging, or email. In contacting you about your account, we may use any telephone numbers or email addresses that you have previously provided to us by virtue of an
existing business relationship or that you may subsequently provide to us.
You acknowledge that the number we use to contact you may be assigned to a landline, a paging service, a cellular wireless service, a specialized mobile radio service, other radio
common carrier service, or any other service for which you may be charged for the call. You acknowledge that we may contact you by voice, voicemail, or text messaging. You
further acknowledge that we may use pre-recorded voice messages, artificial voice messages, or automatic telephone dialing systems.
If necessary, you may change or remove any of the telephone numbers, email addresses, or other methods of contacting you at any time using any reasonable means to notify us.
CLAIM OF LOSS – The following rules do not apply to a transaction or claim related to a consumer electronic fund transfer governed by Regulation E (e.g., an everyday/one-time
consumer debit card or ATM transaction). The error resolution procedures for consumer electronic fund transfers can be found in our initial Regulation E disclosure generally titled,
“Electronic Fund Transfers.” For other transactions or claims, if you claim a credit or refund because of a forgery, alteration, or any other unauthorized withdrawal, you agree to
cooperate with us in the investigation of the loss, including giving us an affidavit containing whatever reasonable information we require concerning your account, the transaction,
and the circumstances surrounding the loss. You will notify law enforcement authorities of any criminal act related to the claim of lost, missing, or stolen checks or unauthorized
withdrawals. We will have a reasonable period of time to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding any claim of loss. Unless we have acted in bad faith, we will not be
liable for special or consequential damages, including loss of profits or opportunity, or for attorneys’ fees incurred by you.
You agree that you will not waive any rights you have to recover your loss against anyone who is obligated to repay, insure, or otherwise reimburse you for your loss. You will
pursue your rights or, at our option, assign them to us so that we may pursue them. Our liability will be reduced by the amount you recover or are entitled to recover from these
other sources.
EARLY WITHDRAWAL PENALTIES (and involuntary withdrawals) – We may impose early withdrawal penalties on a withdrawal from a time account even if you don’t initiate the
withdrawal. For instance, the early withdrawal penalty may be imposed if the withdrawal is caused by our setoff against funds in the account or as a result of an attachment or other
legal process. We may close your account and impose the early withdrawal penalty on the entire account balance in the event of a partial early withdrawal. See your separately
provided notice of penalty for early withdrawal for additional information.
CHANGES IN NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION – You are responsible for notifying us of any change in your name, address, or other information we use to communicate
with you. Unless we agree otherwise, notice of such a change must be made in writing. Informing us of your address or name change on a check reorder form is not sufficient. We
will attempt to communicate with you only by use of the most recent information you have provided to us. If provided elsewhere, we may impose a service fee if we attempt to locate
you.
RESOLVING ACCOUNT DISPUTES – We may place an administrative hold on the funds in your account (refuse payment or withdrawal of the funds) if it becomes subject to a
claim adverse to (1) your own interest; (2) others claiming an interest as survivors or beneficiaries of your account; or (3) a claim arising by operation of law. The hold may be placed
for such period of time as we believe reasonably necessary to allow a legal proceeding to determine the merits of the claim or until we receive evidence satisfactory to us that the
dispute has been resolved. We will not be liable for any items that are dishonored as a consequence of placing a hold on funds in your account for these reasons.
WAIVER OF NOTICES – To the extent permitted by law, you waive any notice of non-payment, dishonor or protest regarding any items credited to or charged against your account.
For example, if you deposit an item and it is returned unpaid or we receive a notice of nonpayment, we do not have to notify you unless required by federal Regulation CC or other
law.
FUNDS TRANSFERS – Unless otherwise required by applicable law, such as Regulation J or the operating circulars of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, this
agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code – Fund Transfers as adopted in the state in which you have your account with us. If you originate a fund transfer
and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary financial institution
may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named. You agree
to be bound by automated clearing house association and other funds-transfer system rules, as applicable. These rules provide, among other things, that payments made to you, or
originated by you, are provisional until final settlement is made through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of the Uniform
Commercial Code. If we do not receive such payment, we are entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your account and the party originating such payment will not be
considered to have paid the amount so credited. Credit entries may be made by ACH or other funds-transfer systems. If we receive a payment order to credit an account you have
with us by wire or ACH, we are not required to give you any notice of the payment order or credit.
INTERNATIONAL ACH TRANSACTIONS – Financial institutions are required by law to scrutinize or verify any international ACH transaction (IAT) that they receive against the
Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This action may, from time to time, cause us to temporarily suspend processing of an IAT
and potentially affect the settlement and/or availability of such payments.
