Truth in Savings Disclosure - Share Certificates

Truth in Savings Disclosure for Term Share Certificate Accounts

Effective Date: August 1, 2024

Throughout this Truth in Savings Disclosure, the words “you,” “your,” and “yours” mean each person who owns one or more Term Share Certificate Accounts; Term Certificates, Term Bump Up Certificates, IRA Term Certificates, IRA Term Bump Up Certificates, Roth Term Certificates, Roth Term Bump Up Certificates, ESA Term Certificates, or ESA Term Bump Up Certificates with First Technology Federal Credit Union. The words “we,” “us,” or “Credit Union” mean First Technology Federal Credit Union.

Section I. Payment of Dividends

Unless otherwise specified for a specific type of Share Certificate Account below, these general terms and conditions shall apply to all Share Certificate Accounts. All of our dividend-bearing term share accounts are referred to as “Share Certificate Accounts”.

  1. Certificate Account Receipt: This Truth in Savings Disclosure supplements your Account Application or Certificate Account Receipt (“Certificate Receipt”) which discloses specific terms of your Share Certificate Account.
  2. Nature of Dividends: The frequency and conditions upon which dividends are paid on all accounts are determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors in accordance with the Federal Credit Union Act and relevant laws (including the Truthin- Savings Act and Regulations). Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
  3. Rate Information: Share Certificate Accounts are generally fixed-rate accounts (unless stated otherwise, such as our Bump Up Share Certificates) and are non-negotiable and non-transferable. You will be paid the applicable rate and annual percentage yield (“APY”) until maturity. We may change dividend rates and APYs offered for new Share Certificate Accounts at any time as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The applicable dividend rate, APY, term, and Maturity Date for your Share Certificate Account will be set forth in the Certificate Receipt we will provide to you when you open such an account. The disclosed APY assumes that the account is funded at the time of account opening. A delay in funding shall not extend or change your Maturity Date but may result in reduced earnings. You may also obtain current rate information by calling the Credit Union toll-free at 855.855.8805 or visiting our website.
  4. Compounding and Crediting for all Accounts: Dividends will be compounded monthly and will be credited on the last day of each month and/or upon the Maturity Date. If the Share Certificate Account is closed before dividends are credited, dividends accrued through the prior business day will be paid, subject to any early withdrawal penalty.
  5. Balance Computation Method: Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate 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. Minimum Balance and Deposit Requirements: The minimum balance required to open and maintain a Share Certificate Account is set forth on the Rate Sheet. You must maintain this minimum balance in your Share Certificate Account each day to obtain the disclosed APY. The Share Certificate Account may be closed if the balance falls below the minimum balance required set forth on the Rate Sheet, if applicable. Although credited dividends may be withdrawn or transferred at any time without the assessment of an early withdrawal penalty, the disclosed APY assumes that dividends will remain in the Share Certificate Account until the Maturity Date. An early withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.
  8. Share Requirement: You must complete payment of one share in your Membership Share Account, in accordance with the Membership and Account Agreement, as a condition of your membership.

Section II. Terms and Conditions Applicable to All Share Certificate Accounts

  1. Transaction Limitations: Once your Share Certificate Account is established, you generally may not make deposits into the account until the Maturity Date except during the applicable grace period and as permitted for Bump Up Share Certificates and IRA/Roth IRA/Coverdell Share Certificates. All withdrawals of principal before the Maturity Date are subject to early withdrawal penalties, except during the grace period described herein. We also reserve the right to require members intending to make a withdrawal of principal from any Share Certificate Account to give written notice of such intent not less than sixty (60) days before the withdrawal.
  2. Early Withdrawal Penalties: The Share Certificate Account will mature on the Maturity Date set forth in the Certificate Receipt. If a withdrawal of principal is made prior to the Maturity Date, the Credit Union will impose a penalty on the amount withdrawn that is subject to penalty. Penalties may reduce the principal.
    1. In accordance with Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, the Credit Union may charge an early withdrawal penalty of seven (7) days simple dividends on amounts withdrawn within the first six (6) days after account opening or within six (6) days of following the last partial withdrawal.
    2. If the Share Certificate Account has a term to maturity less than one (1) year, we do not charge an early withdrawal penalty unless you make a withdrawal within the first six (6) days after account opening or within six (6) days following the last partial withdrawal. In those circumstances, we may charge an early withdrawal penalty of seven (7) days simple dividends in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation D, whether or not earned.
    3. If the Share Certificate Account has a term to maturity of between twelve (12) months twenty-four (24) months, the penalty imposed will equal 180 days of simple dividends, whether or not earned.
