Truth in Savings Disclosure for Share Savings, Share Checking, IRA, HSA, and Coverdell Accounts

Effective Date: October 1, 2026

Throughout this Truth in Savings Disclosure, the words “we,” “us,” “our” or “First Tech” mean First Technology Federal Credit Union. The words “you” and “your” mean each account holder. This document applies to accounts held for consumer and business purposes unless otherwise noted.

Section I. Payment of Dividends

  1. Dividends and Rate: First Tech pays dividends on funds in all accounts listed in our Rate Sheet from the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal or maturity. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. Dividend rates and Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) are determined by the First Tech Board of Directors and can change daily after account opening. For additional details, refer to the Rate Sheet on our website.
  2. Minimum Balance Requirements: We list the minimum balance required to open an account on our Rate Sheet.
  3. Compounding and Crediting: For all dividend bearing accounts, dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly. Each month is a dividend period. For example, the first dividend period of the year begins January 1 and ends January 31. If you close any dividend earning accounts before dividends are credited, you will not receive the accrued dividends.
  4. Fees and Charges: Fees imposed on your accounts are disclosed on the Fee Schedule which has been provided to you separately.
  5. Balance Computation Method: Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate (the annual rate divided by the number of days in the year) to the balance in the account each day.
  6. Accrual of Dividends: Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit cash and non-cash items (e.g., checks) to your account if deposited before the close of business.
  7. Share Requirement: You must complete payment of one share in your Membership Share Savings Account, in accordance with the Membership and Account Agreement, as a condition of your membership.

Section II. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Dividend Rewards Checking Accounts

  1. Restrictions: You are limited to one (1) Dividend Rewards Checking. The primary owner of a Dividend Rewards Checking may not be primary owner of any: First Tech Rewards Checking, First Tech Premier Rewards Savings or First Tech Premier Rewards Checking.
  2. Eligibility: Account must be a personal account, trust account or similar fiduciary account. Business, Organization and HSA accounts are not eligible. The primary account owner of the Dividend Rewards Checking Account must also be the primary account owner on a Membership Share Savings account.
  3. Rate Information: The Dividend Rewards Checking Account is a tiered rate account. Each month, the account earns either a qualified or non-qualified rate based on whether you meet the qualification requirements below. If qualified, the dividend rate and APY apply only to the portion of your balance in each tier.
    1. Failure to Qualify: If qualification requirements for a monthly cycle are not met, the account earns the non-qualified rate and APY.
  4. Qualification Requirements: A monthly cycle is the last day of the previous calendar month through the second to last day of the current calendar month. For example, one cycle would start March 31 and end April 29; the next monthly cycle would be April 30 through May 30. In order to qualify, you must meet all of the following qualification requirements during each cycle:
    1. Have twelve (12) debit card purchases posted to the account.
    2. Have one (1) direct deposit or ACH deposit.
    The first monthly cycle will automatically qualify. For each monthly cycle after, all qualification requirements must be met and posted to the account prior to the last day of the month. For example, March has 31 days, so eligible purchases must post by March 30. Debit card purchases can take up to three (3) days to post and depend on merchant processing times.
  5. Rebates: For qualified accounts, out-of-network U.S. ATM fees are refunded for the cycle in which the fee was charged, up to an aggregate total of $10 per month.

Section III. Terms and Conditions Applicable to Start Up Checking and Savings Accounts

  1. Restriction: You are limited to one (1) Start Up Checking Account and one (1) Start Up Savings Account per primary account owner.
  2. Eligibility: Primary account owner must be under the age of eighteen (18). Once the primary account owner of a Start Up Checking / Savings Account turns the age of eighteen (18), the account will automatically convert to another actively offered checking / savings account.

  3. Rate Information: The First Tech Rewards Savings Account is a tiered rate account. The dividend rate and APY specified for a tier will apply only to the portion of the account balance that is within the tier. The dividend rates and range of APY(s) may vary depending on account balance and are listed for each tier in our Rate Sheet.

    1. Failure to Qualify: If qualification requirements for a monthly cycle are not met, the account earns the non-qualified rate and APY.
  4. Qualification Requirements: A monthly cycle is the last day of the previous calendar month through the second to last day of the current calendar month. For example, one cycle would start March 31 and end April 29; the next monthly cycle would be April 30 through May 30. In order to qualify, you must meet all of the following qualification requirements during each cycle:
    1. Have a total spend of at least $1,000 per month post to the applicable accounts. Qualifying transactions include:
      1. Posted debit card purchases to the First Tech Rewards Checking account.

    The first monthly cycle will automatically meet all qualification requirements.

For example, the last day of March is March 31. Qualifying debit and/or credit card purchases must post to your account(s) by March 30 for purposes of this example. Keep in mind that debit and/or credit card purchases can take several days to post and depend on merchant processing times.
