***ANALYZED BUSINESS ACCOUNT
Monthly Service Fee $16.00
Analyzed Business Account - This account features an
earnings credit which is applied to reduce or eliminate some
of the fees on the account. If the earned credits exceed the
fees for any period, you will be assessed none of those fees
but you will not be paid, carry forward or otherwise receive
credit for any excess earned credits. The earnings credit is
applied against all standard monthly transaction fees EXCEPT
the merchant credit card processing fee. Credit Card
processing fees are disclosed to you on a separate agreement
that you contracted with TermNet Merchant Services.
Earned Credit Calculation - The earnings credit is
calculated by applying the periodic earned credit rate to
the average daily collected balance in the account for the
earnings credit period. Your average collected balance is
calculated using your average ledger balance less the
average uncollected balance. The periodic earnings credit
rate is equal to the average daily collected balance
multiplied by the previous month’s average rate for the
91-day U.S. Treasury bill. The periodic earnings credit rate
can change monthly. The earnings credit is then calculated
using the earned credit rate and dividing by the number of
days in the statement cycle and your average daily collected
balance. The average uncollected balance is that portion of
the total deposit for which we have not been credited by the
Federal Reserve or other clearinghouse.
Debit Items: With the Analyzed Business Checking
account an account analysis is run at the end of each month.
Any enrollments to or cancellation of E-statements will
affect the fees charged for all debit items processed
beginning on the following statement cycle.

Business transactions should only be processed through your
the Business Checking account. If the share account or a
money market account is also used for processing
transactions, the Better Business Checking Monthly
Transaction Activity Allowance will apply to the aggregate
of transactions processed through all accounts in
calculating per item charges for exceeding the allowance
limits. Please refer to our Business Account Schedule of
Fees and Charges.
ACCOUNTS WITH ZERO BALANCES
If your checking account has a zero balance for one complete statement
cycle, the account will be automatically closed.
**DIVIDEND INFORMATION
No dividends will be paid on the Basic Business Checking,
Non-Profit Business Checking, Better Business Checking or
the Analyzed Business Checking.
On Business Dividend Checking, dividends will be paid each
day your checking account balance is $500 or more.
No dividends will be paid for any day your balance falls
under $500.
Dividends on Business Dividend Checking begin to accrue on
the business day you make a deposit, regardless of whether
the deposit is cash or non-cash, but do not accrue on the
date of withdrawal for the amount of the withdrawal.
Dividends are paid on a monthly basis on the first day of
each month following the dividend period. For example, the
beginning date of the first dividend period of the year is
January 1, and the ending date of the dividend period is
January 31. The dividends are posted following the end of
the dividend period, which for this example would be
February 1. This dividend and the resulting Annual
Percentage Yield Earned (APY earned) in this example would
appear on the February statement. All other dividend periods
follow this pattern of dates.
Dividends are compounded monthly on a 365/365 basis, using
the daily balance method. The dividend rate is divided by
365 days to determine the daily periodic rate. The daily
periodic rate is then calculated against the principal
balance in the account each day. If you close your account
before dividends are credited, we may credit these accrued
dividends at the time you close your account. Credit union
bylaws permit a delay of up to 60 days for withdrawal of
shares. At our discretion, we may change the dividend rate
and applicable Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on your account
at any time without prior notice. Current dividend rates
appear on your statement.
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE YIELD (APY)
The annual percentage yield (APY) is a percentage rate that
measures the total amount of dividends paid on an account
based on the dividend rate and the frequency of compounding
for a 12-month period. If you withdraw dividends before this
period, it may reduce your earnings.
STATEMENT CYCLES
Active accounts receive monthly statements to enable you to
reconcile your records. Accounts with no activity will
receive a quarterly statement. Monthly statements will not
be sent on accounts for which there is no activity in a
given month; however, all accounts will receive a statement
at least quarterly. Statements are usually mailed during the
first 10 business days of the month. Electronic statements
are usually posted by the second business day of the month.
If you would like a statement prior to the time one is
normally furnished, you can request a printout of your
account history. The charge for this special printout
service is listed on the Schedule of Fees and Charges.
CHANGE IN TERMS
The credit union reserves the right to change the terms and
conditions of your account and this Disclosure at any time,
including the Schedule of Fees and Charges. We generally
send the notice before the effective date of the change.
However, unless a different time is stated in the notice,
the changes will be effective immediately.
GENERAL AGREEMENTS
1.
You must open and maintain a business checking and a
business savings account.
2.
The depositor(s) agrees to use the forms supplied by the
credit union. The credit union reserves the right to return
unpaid any other form of order presented or any form
incompletely or defectively drawn.
3.
All non-cash deposits are received and credited by the
credit union subject to final collection. Please refer to
our Funds Availability brochure.
4.
The credit union may refuse to accept any deposit checks
that appear to have been altered, that we believe are
invalid, or nonnegotiable or that are not payable to you.
5.
We will make payments on current checks drawn on available
funds in your checking account when signed by any person
authorized on your business account application form or on
supplemental credit union forms.
6.
A postdated check is a check dated later than the day it was
actually presented for payment. We are under no obligation
to hold a post-dated check and we reserve the right to
process every item presented as if dated the same date
received by us or our check processor unless you give us
notice as required under the UCC and a reasonable
opportunity to act on it. A stale dated check is a check
dated six months or more before the day it was actually
presented for payment. We are under no obligation to pay a
check on which the date is more than six (6) months old, but
we may pay the check in our discretion. Except where the
required notice is given, the account holder agrees not to
hold the Credit Union liable for paying or denying payment
of any postdated or stale dated checks.
7.
Credit union bylaws permit the right to require 60 days
written notice of your intention to withdraw or transfer
shares.
8.
The credit union reserves the right, at its sole discretion,
to refuse to open a checking account or accept any further
deposits to any existing checking account. The credit union
also reserves the right, at its sole discretion and upon
prior notice to the depositor, to discontinue or limit the
practice of allowing withdrawals by check, draft, or other
negotiable order. Any such prior notice shall advise the
depositor that the credit union reserves the right after the
date specified in said notice not to make payment on any
checking account check, draft, or other negotiable order
drawn on such account. After the date specified, the credit
union shall not be obliged to make any payment from such
account, except for the purpose of closing such account.
9.
The credit union is not required to honor any restrictive or
conditional legend or endorsement on a check you write
unless the credit union has agreed in writing, signed by an
officer of the credit union to the restriction or condition.
An example of a conditional legend is “pay upon completion
of work.” Examples of restrictive legends are “must be
presented within 90 days” or “not valid for more than
$1,000.”
10.
Withdrawals can also be made through the Credit Union's
Call-24 telephone audio response. Sole proprietorship
account holders may make withdrawals by ATM Card at
designated ATMs or authorized point-of-sale (POS) terminals,
or with a Check Card at designated ATMs, POS terminals or
VISA authorized merchant and by Call-24 telephone audio
response. The use of ATM Cards and Check Cards is governed
by separate disclosure. Call-24 transactions are governed
by separate agreement.
11.
You will not receive canceled checks with your statement,
although all checks are microfilmed and retained for seven
years. Copies of checks are available on request. If you
need a copy of an original check, the credit union will
furnish a free copy of the first two checks requested for
each statement period. Copies of checks beyond the first two
checks requested are subject to a fee. Please refer to the
Schedule of Fees and Charges for current fees.
12.
You must notify the credit union of any changes made to the
businesses ownership.
AUTHORIZED SIGNERS
Ownership of the account will be established by the most
recent account signature card or other approved document(s)
evidencing such accounts that we have on file for you. A
different form of ownership may be established by executing
a new signature card. If ownership or the right to make
withdrawals from your account becomes in dispute for any
reason, the Credit Union, in its discretion, may refuse
payment of the balance in the account until the dispute is
settled.
STOP PAYMENTS
Provided such request is timely so that we have a reasonable
opportunity to act upon it and you have described the item
or account with reasonable certainty, you can place a stop
payment on any check drawn on your account before the check
has been cleared for payment by notifying us. At your
request and risk, the Credit Union will accept a stop
payment order. If you notify us orally, you must follow up
with a written request. If we do not receive the written
request within 14 calendar days of the oral notification,
the stop payment will lapse. To stop payment, complete a
stop payment order form at a branch or mail a written,
signed request. In order for us to effectively stop payment
on a check, our computer system requires absolute accuracy.
A discrepancy in any information could void the order. We
need to know: (1) Your account number, (2) The exact
amount, (3) check number(s), if applicable, (4) The name of
the person who signed the check and (5) the name of the
party to whom the check was made payable. A stop payment
will not go into effect until the Credit Union verifies that
the check or debit is still unpaid. The order remains in
effect for six months and may be renewed for a fee at the
end of that period. You may write the Credit Union to
cancel a stop payment order at any time. The Credit Union
will not accept responsibility so far as it may lawfully
limit its liability for the consequences of the stop payment
order. You have the burden of establishing the fact and
the amount of the loss resulting from any stop payment
contrary to a binding stop payment. For information on EFT
stop payments, please refer to the Membership Disclosure
Statement.
OVERDRAFT AND LINE OF CREDIT PROTECTION
Travis Credit union offers overdraft protection for
your Business Checking account. This protection will help
you avoid the inconvenience of overdrafts and returned
checks. If you have a personal open-end loan account
(line-of-credit) in good standing with available credit and
there are not sufficient funds in your checking account to
cover your checks or other authorized payments, the funds in
your personal line-of-credit can be accessed to pay these
items which will be considered to be requests for a loan
advance from the loan account designated by you. Advances
will be posted from your loan account to cover your
overdraft in $100 increments. Overdraft loan advances are
governed by the appropriate loan agreement. If you have not
designated a loan account, you can designate your business
savings account for overdraft protection. If designated, the
money will be taken from your savings account to cover your
checks or authorized payments in the lesser of $200 or the
available balance. However, federal regulations limit such
transaction from your savings account to six (6) per month.
If sufficient funds are not available in the savings
account, either because funds are on hold or not on deposit,
or you have already made the six transfers permitted per
month, any checks drawn against non-sufficient funds may be
returned unpaid. The following rules pertain to overdraft
protection service:
1. If you do not have overdraft-loan
protection, or have exceeded your credit limit, and there
are not sufficient funds in your business savings account,
or you have already made six (6) transfers from your savings
account for the month, we may return any checks presented
for payment for reason of non-sufficient funds (NSF).
However, in the case of returned deposited items, at our
option we have the right to automatically resubmit checks
without notification to you. We also have the right to
offset a returned item with the proceeds of any other
account in which you have an interest.
2. Transfer service must be from an
account not subject to withdrawal limitation or penalties.
3. Items Returned Unpaid and Paid Items: If,
you have not selected overdraft protection or we cannot
transfer funds from your savings account or personal line of
credit to cover a check, electronic debit, or other item
drawn against non-sufficient or unavailable funds in your
checking account, or if you do not have sufficient funds in
your savings account or available credit to cover the item,
we will either:
a. not pay the check, electronic debit, or other
item drawn against non-sufficient or unavailable funds in
your checking account, return the check, debit, or item,
unpaid to the payee, and assess a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF)
Fee for each item; OR
b. pay the check, electronic debit, or other item
drawn against non-sufficient or unavailable funds in your
checking Account and charge you a “Courtesy Pay” fee (this
may result in an overdraft/negative balance in your checking
account). Please refer to our Business Account Schedule of
Fees and Charges for NSF and Courtesy Pay Fee amounts.
Courtesy Pay is a non-contractual and discretionary service.
It is not a loan. It may be refused on any checking
account from time to time. The member does not have a
contractual right to overdraft courtesy, nor is it
guaranteed. You can choose at any time not to have courtesy
pay but must inform us in writing of the request.
4. Termination of agreement: The credit
union has the right to terminate the overdraft protection
agreement at any time by sending a notice five (5) days in
advance of the termination to your address of record.
5. Unless there are special provisions for transfer
to meet overdrafts, the Credit Union, at its sole
discretion, can close your checking account without prior
notice for repeated overdrafts or for your misuse of your
account. |
