TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The following terms and conditions governing your Share Draft (Checking) Account constitute a mutually protective service agreement between you and Travis Credit Union. The Membership Disclosure Statement and the Business Account Schedule of Fees and Charges are included by reference. The words “You,” “Your,” and “Yours” mean each and all of those who sign an account signature card. The words “We,” “Us,” “Our,” and "Credit Union" mean Travis Credit Union. Earned credits will be paid only on collected funds. Refer to your Membership Disclosure Statement for additional terms and conditions.

Opening this account is conditioned on maintaining a business membership in the Credit Union. See the Business Account Membership Disclosure Statement.

Business Accounts
We may require the governing body of the legal 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 receive written notice in the form of a new Business Account Signature card of a change from the governing body of the legal entity.


*MONTHLY SERVICE FEE can be avoided under the following conditions:
Better Business Checking FREE on accounts with that maintain a $6,000 daily balance or a $12,000 average minimum monthly balance in the checking account.
Better Business Dividend Checking FREE on accounts with that maintain a $5,000 daily balance or a $10,000 average minimum monthly balance in the checking account.

***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.
