BOUND BY THESE RULES.
Any reference in these rules to an account shall
relate only to the accounts opened on a Signature Card by you. 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

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.

stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without permission, call:

Credit Union.

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.

(cash or checks) made at ATMs we do not own or operate may not be available

was a deposit of cash or checks) as of the date of deposit until the date of
withdrawal. Dividends are posted

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

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.
