Enclosed with this disclosure is a separate disclosure for each account opened by you and a schedule of fees and charges. Please read this disclosure and the schedule carefully, continued use of your account after receipt of these means you agree to the terms of the account and the charges that may be imposed. We will also be bound by these rules but must reserve the right to change or add to them at any time, upon giving reasonable notice to you. Such notice may consist of a notice of the changes being posted in our offices for a reasonable period of time, enclosing a notice on or in the statement of account, or mailing a notice in a special mailing. Notice to any one of you is notice to all of you who are legal owners of the account. By your signature you have authorized us to check your financial history.
TYPES OF ACCOUNTS
In order to maintain your membership in our Credit Union, you must maintain a Regular Share/Savings Account in your own name. You also must maintain a minimum aggregate balance of at least five dollars in any or all of your Savings or Certificate Accounts. Failure to do so will terminate your membership in the Credit Union. Your Share/Savings Account will be maintained as any other savings account.
Savings (Share) Accounts
You must maintain at least a par value of one share in this type of account or it will be closed. For Regular Share/Savings accounts, the par value is $5.00. Savings accounts are not transferable except on the books of the Credit Union. Special savings accounts include any account designated by you, such as Vacation Club or Christmas Club. The par value for this type of account is $5.00.
Checking Accounts
These are our transaction accounts and they may be accessed by Credit Union approved checks, electronic funds transfers, or in person. The Credit Union offers 5 types of checking accounts, which permit an average monthly number of payments, not to exceed 50 per month, to third parties. Minimum balance requirements may apply to some accounts in order to avoid the incurrence of a service charge or to earn dividends. See Checking Account Disclosure for full details.
Other Accounts
The Credit Union offers other accounts, such as Share Certificates and Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRA") that are covered by these rules and special rules disclosed to you at the time of opening of the account.
ATM/DEBIT Cards
By your signature on a Signature Card in the designated place for ATM Card, you have requested that we issue you a Credit Union ATM/DEBIT Card for use in automated teller machines ("ATMs"), to electronically access your accounts. Use of ATMs, especially at night, is at your own risk. You will be notified of the type, number and amount of transactions you may make with your ATM/DEBIT Card. We reserve the right to deny access to an ATM/Debit card to anyone under the age of 18. We will not issue a card to anyone under age 16.
Daisy
By your signature on a Signature Card in the designated place, you have requested that we issue a Personal Identification Number ("Pin") for your use with a touch-tone telephone, to electronically access your accounts through our Direct Access Information System (Daisy). You will be notified of the type of transactions you may make.
Share/Savings Deposit Insurance
All accounts are federally insured to at least $100,000 and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
FEES AND CHARGES
The Fee Schedule that you have received with these rules gives the current dollar amount of our charges and any transaction limits imposed for stop payment orders (including stop payment of electronic fund transfers), return of checks for insufficient funds, overdrafts, dormant accounts, special services, and certain other matters. The amount of each fee will be charged to your account when incurred, in accordance with our then current Fee Schedule, unless you pay the amount separately. We may charge any account for a fee incurred if the account upon which it was assessed has been closed or we may overdraft the amount if it has an insufficient balance to pay any charges. Any fees charged to the account could result in the account being brought to a zero balance and closed.
DEPOSITS
We will accept your deposits in person, by ATM, by direct deposit (from your employer, retirement program, dividend checks or government check), by mail, or by night depository. Your deposits will be made available to you based on the Funds Availability Disclosure contained herein. You will be required to pay any unusual fees involved in collecting your deposit. We will not be responsible for the negligence of any other financial institutions involved in the collection process. We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository until we actually record them. We provide night depository facilities for use at your own risk. We reserve the right to verify all deposits, including ATM deposits, and after examination, reserve the right to correct any mistakes and change any entries which are in error.
WITHDRAWALS
You may withdraw from a Savings Account in person, in writing, by ATM, by Daisy, by electronic funds transfer or by telephone. You may withdraw from your Checking Account by check, in person, by ATM, by Daisy, by electronic funds transfer, by telephone or in writing. Each of you who sign a Signature Card (until we receive written notice to the contrary) authorizes each other person signing a Signature Card to withdraw or transfer any or all of the account balance at any time. Each of you also authorizes the other to endorse any item payable to you or your order for deposit only to your account. We reserve the right to not process any transaction that is by any method not specifically permitted or which is greater in the number of frequency allowed or which is less than any minimum imposed. The honoring of any unusual method or practices does not waive our right to refuse any future such request. Any abuse of privileges may cause the account to be closed. You are jointly and severally liable for repayment of all overdrawn amounts, regardless of how or by whom, such a negative balance is incurred. We reserve the right to require you to give us 60 days notice on all withdrawals from Savings Accounts.
SAVINGS ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
All pre-authorized and electronic fund transfers from a Savings Account to another account, or third parties, are restricted to a maximum of three per month.
DIVIDENDS
We will pay dividends on your accounts held at the Credit union. The rate and method we use to calculate dividends may change from time to time without written notice. By law we are prohibited from guaranteeing the payment of dividends or guaranteeing that those payments will be at the contracted amount. Dividend payments to you must be based upon the money we actually earn and that is available for distribution at the end of a dividend or earnings period. Dividends will be earned throughout the period if they are considered to be fully paid from the first of the month according to our by-laws or applicable accounts. The current method of calculating and paying dividends is described in the Funds Availability section of this disclosure. The current rates are posted in each of our offices and are available upon request.
DIRECT DEPOSITS
We will deposit any amount that has been authorized through the direct deposit plan of the Federal Government. If, in connection with any such deposit, we deposit any amount in your account which should not have been deposited, and should have been returned to the Federal Government, you authorize us to deduct the amount from the account or from another account you have with us. This deduction may be without prior notice, if allowed by law. We reserve the right to seek other legal remedies to recover any loss to us.
STATEMENTS
We will send you by regular mail a statement of your accounts monthly, if you have a Checking Account and quarterly for all other account holders, unless there are no monetary transactions; then you will only receive quarterly or annual statements. Your statement will show all activity on your accounts for the previous period. If you do not notify us of any unauthorized signatures or alterations within a reasonable time, not to exceed 14 days, after we send or make available to you your statement then: (1) you cannot assert the unauthorized signature or alteration against us, even if we are unable to show a loss due to your failure of notice, and (2) you cannot assert any unauthorized signatures or alterations by the same wrongdoer on items paid by us after the 14 day period elapses, but before we receive your notice. We lose these protections if we fail to exercise ordinary care in paying an item with an unauthorized signature or alteration, unless you do not notify us within 60 days after we send or make available to you the statement. You will lose your right to assert any other problem with your account, unless you notify us within the 60-day period.
INACTIVE OR DORMANT ACCOUNTS
If there are no deposits or withdrawals to or from an account for a period of 6 months or more and the balance in the account is below $5 and there is no forwarding address, we will consider such account inactive and dormant. A monthly dormant account charge may be imposed. For checking accounts, if the account remains inactive for 6 months, a $5.00 per month service fee will be assessed until the account reaches a zero balance and is then closed by the credit union.
RIGHT OF SET-OFF
We have the right to set-off any part or all of the funds in your accounts (except IRAs) and to apply such funds against any obligation that you or any legal owner may have with us, either now or in the future.
LOST CHECK/ITEMS
You will be responsible for reporting to us as soon as is reasonably possible the loss or theft of your checks, deposit slips, ATM Card or PIN.
STOP PAYMENT ORDER
Any person whose signature appears on a Signature Card for an account may place a stop payment order against any check drawn on the account, regardless of whom the check is drawn by. We shall not be liable for failing to stop payment of any check if you do not furnish us in a timely manner its exact amount, date, payee and check number. A charge will be imposed for each stop payment order. A release of the stop payment order may only be made by the person who initiated it. Stop payment orders are only good for six months.
GARNISHMENTS OF YOUR ACCOUNTS
If the funds in your account are attached, levied against, garnished or otherwise proceeded against as the result of a lawsuit that someone has brought against you or against a legal owner on the account, you must reimburse us for any additional expenses that we may incur.
Statutory Lien
We have the power to impress and enforce a lien upon your account balances to the extent of any loan, including interest, fees and charges, made to you and any fees or charges you may owe to us. We may exercise these rights as a federally chartered Credit Union without obtaining a court order and by any other methods permitted by law.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
It is your responsibility to keep us informed of your correct address and any delay in notice under these rules due to your negligence, shall not act as a waiver of the time periods nor extend the time periods in any way that would increase our liability due to your negligence. A monthly fee may be imposed on your account for lack of a correct address.
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS RULES AND REGULATIONS
The following governs any electronic fund transfer ("Transaction") made by you, or anyone authorized by you, in connection with your accounts at the Credit Union, whether initiated by an ATM/DEBIT Card, by pre-authorized Transaction (transfers authorized on a recurring basis at regular intervals), by Daisy, or by other means of access provided now or in the future. We will issue you a PIN, which you must use together with the ATM/DEBIT Card to access our own ATMs and the STAR Card regional network of ATMs. The PIN will also be necessary to access such services as Point-of Sale Terminals (POS) and other electronic systems made available now or in the future to perform Transactions on your Credit Union accounts. Another PIN will be issued for use with our bank-by-telephone service called Daisy.
AGREEMENTS
Transactions may only be performed while your accounts have sufficient balances to complete the transaction requested. Wrongfully obtaining funds from the Credit Union by use of an ATM/Debit Card or PIN constitutes a federal criminal offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both. All terms and conditions of any written agreements that have been previously made between you and the Credit Union regarding the use of the ATM/DEBIT Card and a PIN and any of your Credit Union accounts apply to all Transactions, unless any terms or conditions in those agreements conflict with the rules and regulations set forth in this disclosure, in which case the rules and regulations of this disclosure will control. All Transactions, whether deposits, withdrawals, or transfers, made with the ATM/DEBIT Card or a PIN are subject to verification by the Credit Union. Any card or other instrument issued by the Credit Union shall supersede the present instruments.
PROPERTY RIGHTS
The ATM/DEBIT Card and the PIN are property of the Credit Union and your right to use these in connection with your Credit Union accounts may be terminated at any time without notice. You will surrender your ATM/DEBIT Card or cease to use your PIN whenever the Credit Union asks for them. You will not allow any other person possession or use of the ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN. It is your responsibility to prevent disclosure and unauthorized use of your ATM/DEBIT Card and your PIN. If you allow any person to use your ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN, then you will be held liable for any of their use by that person, unless you notify the Credit Union that the individual is no longer authorized by you to make Transactions on your accounts. The Credit Union will, as soon as possible, after notification, block further Transactions on your account.
CHANGES
We reserve the right to change or add to these rules and regulations at any time, upon giving you reasonable notice at least 21 days prior to the effective date of the change. Such notice may consist of enclosing a notice on or in the statement of the account or mailing a notice in a special mailing. Notice to any legal account holder of the ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN is notice to all of you. In the event we determine that an immediate change is necessary to maintain or restore the security of the electronic fund transfer services or to any account, then we may make the necessary change without advising you in advance. We can delay enforcing any of our rights against you without losing them.
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER DISCLOSURE
This disclosure contains important information about your rights and liabilities; please retain this disclosure with your valuable papers for future reference.
YOUR OBLIGATIONS
It is very important to keep your PIN confidential and separate from your ATM/DEBIT Card to prevent someone from using it to make transactions without your permission.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account, plus your maximum overdraft line-of-credit, if any. If you tell us within 2 business days, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your ATM/DEBIT Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time period.
Electronic check conversion transfers are permitted to access your Checking Account. An electronic check conversion occurs when a merchant is authorized to convert your check (using information from your check) into an electronic funds transfer. The merchant may also request authorization to electronically collect a charge in the event the check or transfer is returned. Your authorization may be expressed in writing or implied through the posting of a sign.

YOUR ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS AT L&N FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
This policy statement applies to Checking Accounts. These are our transaction accounts, which permit an average monthly number of payments, not to exceed 50 per month, to third parties and an unlimited number of telephone and pre-authorized transfers to other accounts of yours with us, up to the available balance in your account. A fee may be imposed if payments in excess of 50 per month are paid on the account. 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 deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds 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 5:00 PM EST 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 5:00 PM or on a day we are not open, we may consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open, including deposits made in the Night Depositories located on the premises at Credit Union offices.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposits will be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees (such as through the night depository or by mail), or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds would be made available.
In addition, 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 $5,000 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 communications or computer 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 eleventh 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 electronic direct deposit to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from the deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, travelers, and federal, state and local government checks will be on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than U. S. Treasury checks) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other deposits will be available on the tenth business day after the day of your deposit.
DEPOSITS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
OUR ATM
For ATMs that we own or operate, funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made prior to 1:30 PM EST on a business day will be handled under the general rules for other deposits. Deposits made after 1:30 PM EST may not be available until the next business day after the day of your deposit.
All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.
ATMs NOT OWNED BY US
Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at ATMs we do not own or operate may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
DIVIDEND PAYMENT POLICY
For share/savings accounts, you begin earning dividends on the deposit (whether it was a deposit of cash or checks) as of the date of deposit until the date of withdrawal. Dividends are posted to the account quarterly and are available for withdrawal on the first working day of the new quarter.
For qualifying checking accounts, you begin earning dividends on the deposit (whether it was a deposit of cash or checks) as of the date of deposit until the date of withdrawal, provided the account balance requirements are met. Dividends are posted to the account monthly and are available for withdrawal on the first working day of the new month.
For Money Market Accounts, you begin earning dividends on the deposit (whether it was a deposit of cash or checks) as of the date of deposit until the date of withdrawal as long as the daily minimum balance is met. Dividends are posted to the account monthly and are available for withdrawal on the first working day of each month.
Truth In Savings Disclosure
Rate Information
The dividend rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for each account are set forth in the accompanying Share/Savings Disclosure, Checking Disclosure, Money Market Disclosure, and/or Certificate Account Disclosures. The dividend rate and APY for Savings, Checking, Vacation, Christmas, Special and IRA Savings may change quarterly as determined by the Board of Directors. The dividend rate and APY for Money Market Accounts may change weekly as determined by the Board of Directors.
Compounding and Crediting
For Share/Savings, Vacation, Christmas, Special and IRA Savings, dividends will be figured on the daily balance and paid quarterly. For these accounts, the dividend period is quarterly. For example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1st, and the ending date of such dividend period is March 31st. The dividend period for Checking accounts is monthly. For Premium and Superior Checking accounts, dividends will be figured on the daily balance and paid monthly. On the Gold Checking accounts, dividends will be figured on the daily balance of $2000 or more and will be paid monthly. For Money Market Accounts, dividends will be figured on the daily balance of $2,500 or more and paid monthly. For Premier Money Market Accounts, dividends will be figured on the daily balance of $10,000 or more and paid monthly. The dividend period for all Money Market Accounts is monthly. All other dividend periods follow these patterns of dates. The dividend declaration date follows the ending date of a dividend period. If an account is closed before dividends are credited, accrued dividends will be paid.
Minimum Balance Requirements
The minimum balance required to open a Share/Savings account is $5.00, the par value. The minimum balance required to open the Vacation, Christmas, Special and IRA savings is $5.00. There is a minimum balance to earn dividends of $5.00 on a Regular Savings account and $5.00 on all other accounts. Some of the checking accounts offered do not earn dividends. To earn the disclosed APY, you must maintain, at least, an account's minimum balance of $2000 to earn dividends for the dividend period. Dividends will not be earned on days when the account balance falls below the minimum. Maintaining a combined balance of $5.00 or more in the Regular Savings, Vacation, Christmas, Special, IRA Savings or Checking accounts, will avoid the imposition of the dormant account fee. For Checking accounts, order forms for checks will not be processed unless a balance is available in an amount to cover the costs of the order.
Balance Computation Methods
Dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance Method. Dividends are calculated under this method by applying a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day of the period.
Accrual of Dividends
Dividends begin to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (e.g. checks) into your account.
Transaction Limitations
For Regular Savings, Vacation, Christmas, Special and IRA Savings, the following limitations or restrictions apply to all accounts according to the Bylaws of L&N FCU:
a. The Board shall have the right, at any time, to require members to give, in writing, not more than 60 days notice of intention to withdraw the whole or any part of the amounts so paid in by them.
b. No member may withdraw shareholdings that are pledged as required security on loans without the written approval of a loan officer, except to the extent that such savings exceed the member's total primary and contingent liability to the credit union.
c. No member may withdraw any shareholding below the amount of his/her primary or contingent liability to the credit union if he/she is delinquent as a borrower, or if borrowers for whom he/she is comaker, endorser, or guarantor are delinquent, without the written approval of a loan officer.
Nature of Dividends
Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
Fees and Charges
The fees and charges that may be charged on an account are itemized in the accompanying "Rate and Fee Schedule", which Schedule is incorporated herein by reference. These fees may reduce the earnings on your account. The amount of each fee will be charged to your account when incurred, unless you pay the amount separately. We may charge another account of yours for a fee incurred if the account on which the fee was assessed has been closed or if it has an insufficient balance to pay the charge.
MOVEMENT OF FUNDS BY MEANS OF WIRE TRANSFER AND AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (ACH) CREDITS
According to the Bylaws of the L&N Federal Credit Union (L&NFCU), Article 4A of the Kentucky Uniform Commercial Code, (UCC), Subpart B of Regulation J by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Reg. J), the following disclosure governs the movement of funds by means of wire transfers, automated clearing house (ACH) credits and some book transfers on credit union records.
This disclosure sets forth the duties, responsibilities and liabilities of all parties involved in a funds transfer. Using L&N FCU to send or receive fund transfers shall constitute your acceptance of these terms. To the extent that the terms of this disclosure are in conflict with any other disclosure previously presented to you concerning the terms and conditions of your membership and your accounts, the terms set forth in this disclosure shall control.
1. This disclosure applies to funds transfers as defined in Article 4A of the UCC and Subpart B of Reg. J.
2. L&N FCU may establish or change cut-off times for the receipt and processing of funds transfer requests, amendments or cancellations. Unless other times are posted for various types of fund transfers, the cut-off time will be 2:00 p.m. on each day the office is open and which is not a declared federal holiday by the Federal Reserve Board. Payment orders, amendments or cancellations received after 2:00 p.m. are received as of the next following funds transfer business day and are processed accordingly.
3. L&N FCU may charge your account for the amount of any funds transfer initiated by your or by any person authorized by you as joint tenant or other authorized party with the right of access to the account from which the funds transfer is to be made.
4. L&N FCU may establish, from time to time, security procedures to verify the authenticity of the payment order. You will be notified of the security procedures, if any, to be used to verify payment orders issued by you or for which your account will be liable. You agree that the authenticity of payment orders may be verified using the security procedure unless you notify L&N FCU in writing that you do not agree to that security procedure. In that event, L&N FCU shall have no obligation to accept any payment order from you or authorized parties on the account until you and L&N FCU agree, in writing, on an alternative security procedure.
5. If you send or receive a wire transfer, Fedwire may be used. Regulation J is the law covering all Fedwire transactions, setting forth your rights and liabilities in a wire transfer involving Fedwire.
6. If you give L&N FCU a payment order which identifies the beneficiary (recipient of the funds) by name and an identifying or account number, you are responsible to L&N FCU if the funds transfer is completed on the basis of the identification or account number you provided. This is true if the beneficiary's financial institution credited the transaction based only on the identifying or account number, even if the name on the account is a person different than the named beneficiary.
7. If you give L&N FCU a payment order, which identifies an intermediary of a beneficiary's financial institution by name and identifying number, a receiving financial institution may rely on the number as the proper identification even if it identifies a different institution than provided by you. Therefore, you are responsible for any loss or expenses incurred by a receiving financial institution which executes or attempts to execute the payment order in reliance on the identifying number you provided.
8. L&N FCU may give you credit for ACH payments before it receives final settlement of the transfer funds. Any such credit is provisional until L&N FCU receives final settlement of the payment. You are hereby notified and agree, if L&N FCU does not receive such final settlement, that it is entitled to a refund from you of the amount credited to you in connection with that ACH entry. Therefore, you are responsible for funds advanced to you prior to final settlement and if the funds are not actually received by L&N FCU you must repay any funds advanced on your behalf.
9. ACH transactions are governed by operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association. In accordance with these rules, you will receive notice of receipt of ACH items in the periodic statements of your account.
