Common use of Overdraft Liability Clause in Contracts

Overdraft Liability. If on any day, the available funds in your accounts are not sufficient to cover checks and other items posted to your account, those checks and items will be handled in accordance with our overdraft procedures or an overdraft protection plan you have with us. The Credit Union's determination of an insufficient account balance may be made at any time between presentation and the Credit Union's deadline with only one review of the account required. The Credit Union has no duty to notify you of an insufficient funds item. The Credit Union may charge a fee for an insufficient funds item whether paid or returned as set forth in the Rate and Fee Schedule. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing, the Credit Union, by covering one or any overdraft, does not agree to cover overdrafts in the future and may discontinue covering overdrafts at any time. If the Credit Union pays an item that would otherwise overdraw your account, you agree to pay the overdraft amount immediately. We reserve the right to pursue collection of previously dishonored items at any time, including giving a payor bank extra time beyond any deadline limits. How Transactions are Posted to Your Account. There are two types of transactions that affect your account: credits (deposits of money into your account) and debits (payments out of your account). It is important to understand how each is applied to your account so that you know how much money you have and how much is available to you at any given time. This section explains generally how and when we post transactions to your account. Credits. Deposits are generally added to your account when we receive them. However, in some cases when you deposit a check or draft, the full amount of the deposit may not be available to you at the time of deposit. Please refer to the Funds Availability Policy Disclosure for details regarding the timing and availability of funds from deposits. Debits. There are several types of debit transactions. Common debit transactions are generally described below. Keep in mind that there are many ways transactions are presented for payment by merchants, and we are not necessarily in control of when transactions are received. ❖ Drafts. When you write a draft, it is processed through the Federal Reserve System. We receive data files of cashed drafts from the Federal Reserve each day. The drafts drawn on your account are compiled from these data files and paid each day. We process the payments in the order contained in the data file. ❖ ACH Payments. We receive data files every day from the Federal Reserve with Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. These include, for example, automatic bill payments you have authorized. ACH transactions for your account are posted throughout the day. ❖ PIN-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card for which a merchant may require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN) at the time of sale. They are processed through a PIN debit network. These transactions are similar to ATM withdrawal transactions because the money is usually deducted from your account immediately at the time of the transaction. However, depending on the merchant, a PIN-based transaction may not be immediately presented for payment. ❖ Signature-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card that are processed through a signature-based network. Rather than entering a PIN, you typically sign for the purchase; however, merchants may not require your signature for certain transactions. Merchants may seek authorization for these types of transactions. The authorization request places a hold on funds in your account when the authorization is completed. The “authorization hold” will reduce your available balance by the amount authorized but will not affect your actual balance. The transaction is subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. This can happen hours or sometimes days after the transaction, depending on the merchant and its payment processor. These payment requests are received in real time throughout the day and are posted to your account when they are received. The amount of an authorization hold may differ from the actual payment because the final transaction amount may not yet be known to the merchant when you present your card for payment. For example, if you use your debit card at a restaurant, a hold will be placed in an amount equal to the bill presented to you; but when the transaction posts, it will include any tip that you may have added to the bill. This may also be the case where you present your debit card for payment at gas stations, hotels and certain other retail establishments. We cannot control how much a merchant asks us to authorize, or when a merchant submits a transaction for payment. For debit card transactions involving merchant authorization holds, there may be a delay between the hold being applied and the transaction posting to your account. During the delay, intervening transactions may impact the available balance in your account. It is important to keep in mind that we check your available balance both at the time the merchant’s authorization request is received and again when the transaction settles and posts to your account. If your available balance is insufficient to cover the amount of the merchant’s authorization request, we will decline the request. If your available balance is sufficient to cover the merchant’s authorization request, the request will be approved, and an authorization hold in the amount of the request will be placed on your account. The transaction will be subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. If the transaction settles and posts to your account at a time when the available balance is insufficient to pay the transaction without causing an overdraft (i.e., posting the transaction results in an available balance of less than $0), we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account, even though the available balance in your account was sufficient to cover the transaction at the time it was authorized. The following example illustrates how this works: Assume your actual and available balances are both $40, and you use your debit card at a restaurant to pay your bill totaling $30. If the restaurant requests authorization in the amount of $30, an authorization hold is placed on $30 in your account. Your available balance is only $10, but the actual balance remains $40. Before the restaurant charge is sent to us for payment, a check that you wrote for $40 is presented for payment. Because your available balance is only $10 due to the $30 authorization hold, your account will be overdrawn by $30 when the check transaction is posted to your account even though your actual balance is $40. In this example, if we pay the $40 check in accordance with our standard overdraft services, we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account as disclosed in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. The fee will also be deducted from your account, further increasing the overdrawn amount. In addition, when the restaurant charge is finally submitted to us for payment, we will release the authorization hold and pay the transaction amount to the restaurant. The transaction amount may be $30 or a different amount (for example, if you added a tip). Because the amount of the restaurant charge exceeds your available balance at the time the charge is settled (i.e., at the time the merchant or its financial institution requests payment or the transaction posts to your account), we will charge you another fee for overdrawing your account, even though you had a sufficient available balance in your account at the time the restaurant charge was authorized and approved. This is a general description of certain types of transactions. These practices may change, and we reserve the right to pay items in any order we choose as permitted by law. Understanding Your Account Balance. Your share draft account has two kinds of balances: the actual balance and the available balance. ❖ Actual Balance – Your actual balance reflects the full amount of all deposits to your account as well as payment transactions that have been posted to your account. It does not reflect drafts you have written and are still outstanding or transactions that have been authorized but are still pending. ❖ Available Balance – Your available balance is your actual balance less:

You may check your available balance online, mobile banking or by calling a branch. Postdated and Stale dated Items. You authorize us to accept and pay any check, even if the check is presented for payment before its date, unless you notify the Credit Union of the postdating.

Overdraft Liability. If on any day, the available funds in your accounts checking account are not sufficient to cover checks and other items posted to your account, those checks and items will be handled in accordance with our overdraft procedures or an overdraft protection plan you may have with us. The Credit Union's determination of an insufficient account balance may be made at any time between presentation and the Credit Union's deadline payment of item with only one review of the account required. The Credit Union has no duty to notify you of an insufficient funds item. The Credit Union may charge a fee for an insufficient funds item whether paid or returned as set forth in the Rate Addendum and Fee ScheduleSchedule of Fees and Charges. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing, the Credit Union, by covering one or any overdraft, does not agree to cover overdrafts in the future and may discontinue covering overdrafts at any time. If the Credit Union pays an item that would otherwise overdraw your account, you agree to pay the overdraft amount immediately. We reserve the right to pursue collection of previously dishonored items at any time. For ATM and one-time debit transactions, you must consent to the Credit Union’s overdraft protection plan in order for the transaction amount to be covered under the plan. Without your consent, the Credit Union may not authorize and pay an overdraft resulting from these types of transactions. Services and fees for overdrafts are shown in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. Qualifications for Overdraft Protection (Courtesy Pay). You must opt-in by separate agreement for Courtesy Pay. Courtesy Pay is contingent on your Credit Union consumer checking account being open for at least sixty (60) days and thereafter you maintain the account in good standing, which includes, but not limited to:  Making regular deposits consistent with your past practices.  Depositing an amount equal to or greater than the amount of discretionary overdraft protection extended to your account and bringing your account to a positive balance within a thirty (30) day period for a minimum of 24 hours.  You are not in default of any loan greater than 30 days or other obligation to the Credit Union.  You are not subject to any legal or administrative order or levy.  New Credit Union members must wait 60 days from their date of enrollment to participate in the Courtesy Pay Program. Accounts not fulfilling these obligations will have Courtesy Pay suspended. The Credit Union will consider, as a discretionary courtesy and not a right or obligation, approving reasonable overdrafts. This privilege for consumer checking accounts will generally be limited to a maximum of $400 (without Credit Union Direct Deposit) overdraft (negative) balances. Any and all fees and charges, including giving a payor bank extra time beyond any deadline without limitations the non-sufficient funds fees, continuous overdraft fees and interest charges (as set forth in our fee schedule and deposit account agreement and disclosure), will be included in these maximum limits. How Transactions are Posted to Your Account. There are two types of transactions that affect your account: credits (deposits of money into your account) and debits (payments out of your account). It is important to understand how each is applied to your account so that you know how much money you have and how much is available to you at any given time. This section explains generally how and when we post transactions to your account. Credits. Deposits are generally added to your account when we receive them. However, in some cases when you deposit a check or draft, the full amount of the deposit may not be available to you at the time of deposit. Please refer to the Funds Availability Policy Disclosure for details regarding the timing and availability of funds from deposits. Debits. There are several types of debit transactions. Common debit transactions are generally described below. Keep in mind that there are many ways transactions are presented for payment by merchants, and we are not necessarily in control of when transactions are received. ❖ Drafts. When you write a draft, it is processed through the Federal Reserve System. We receive data files of cashed drafts from the Federal Reserve each day. The drafts drawn on your account are compiled from these data files and paid each day. We process the payments in the order contained in the data file. ❖ ACH Payments. We receive data files every day from the Federal Reserve with Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. These include, for example, automatic bill payments you have authorized. ACH transactions for your account are posted throughout the day. ❖ PIN-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card for which a merchant may require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN) at the time of sale. They are processed through a PIN debit network. These transactions are similar to ATM withdrawal transactions because the money is usually deducted from your account immediately at the time of the transaction. However, depending on the merchant, a PIN-based transaction may not be immediately presented for payment. ❖ Signature-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card that are processed through a signature-based network. Rather than entering a PIN, you typically sign for the purchase; however, merchants may not require your signature for certain transactions. Merchants may seek authorization for these types of transactions. The authorization request places a hold on funds in your account when the authorization is completed. The “authorization hold” will reduce your available balance by the amount authorized but will not affect your actual balance. The transaction is subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. This can happen hours or sometimes days after the transaction, depending on the merchant and its payment processor. These payment requests are received in real time throughout the day and are posted to your account when they are received. The amount of an authorization hold may differ from the actual payment because the final transaction amount may not yet be known to the merchant when you present your card for payment. For example, if you use your debit card at a restaurant, a hold will be placed in an amount equal to the bill presented to you; but when the transaction posts, it will include any tip that you may have added to the bill. This may also be the case where you present your debit card for payment at gas stations, hotels and certain other retail establishments. We cannot control how much a merchant asks us to authorize, or when a merchant submits a transaction for payment. For debit card transactions involving merchant authorization holds, there may be a delay between the hold being applied and the transaction posting to your account. During the delay, intervening transactions may impact the available balance in your account. It is important to keep in mind that we check your available balance both at the time the merchant’s authorization request is received and again when the transaction settles and posts to your account. If your available balance is insufficient to cover the amount of the merchant’s authorization request, we will decline the request. If your available balance is sufficient to cover the merchant’s authorization request, the request will be approved, and an authorization hold in the amount of the request will be placed on your account. The transaction will be subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. If the transaction settles and posts to your account at a time when the available balance is insufficient to pay the transaction without causing an overdraft (i.e., posting the transaction results in an available balance of less than $0), we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account, even though the available balance in your account was sufficient to cover the transaction at the time it was authorized. The following example illustrates how this works: Assume your actual and available balances are both $40, and you use your debit card at a restaurant to pay your bill totaling $30. If the restaurant requests authorization in the amount of $30, an authorization hold is placed on $30 in your account. Your available balance is only $10, but the actual balance remains $40. Before the restaurant charge is sent to us for payment, a check that you wrote for $40 is presented for payment. Because your available balance is only $10 due to the $30 authorization hold, your account will be overdrawn by $30 when the check transaction is posted to your account even though your actual balance is $40. In this example, if we pay the $40 check in accordance with our standard overdraft services, we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account as disclosed in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. The fee will also be deducted from your account, further increasing the overdrawn amount. In addition, when the restaurant charge is finally submitted to us for payment, we will release the authorization hold and pay the transaction amount to the restaurant. The transaction amount may be $30 or a different amount (for example, if you added a tip). Because the amount of the restaurant charge exceeds your available balance at the time the charge is settled (i.e., at the time the merchant or its financial institution requests payment or the transaction posts to your account), we will charge you another fee for overdrawing your account, even though you had a sufficient available balance in your account at the time the restaurant charge was authorized and approved. This is a general description of certain types of transactions. These practices may change, and we reserve the right to pay items in any order we choose as permitted by law. Understanding Your Account Balance. Your share draft account has two kinds of balances: the actual balance and the available balance. ❖ Actual Balance – Your actual balance reflects the full amount of all deposits to your account as well as payment transactions that have been posted to your account. It does not reflect drafts you have written and are still outstanding or transactions that have been authorized but are still pending. ❖ Available Balance – Your available balance is your actual balance less:.

When you write a draft, it is processed through the Federal Reserve System. We receive data files of cashed drafts from the Federal Reserve each day. The drafts drawn on your account are compiled from these data files and paid each day. We process the payments in Account, the order contained in which we post such items may affect the data file. ❖ ACH Payments. We receive data files every day from the Federal Reserve with Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. These include, for example, automatic bill payments you have authorized. ACH transactions for your account are posted throughout the day. ❖ PIN-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card for which a merchant may require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN) at the time of sale. They are processed through a PIN debit network. These transactions are similar to ATM withdrawal transactions because the money is usually deducted from your account immediately at the time of the transaction. However, depending on the merchant, a PIN-based transaction may not be immediately presented for payment. ❖ Signature-Based Debit Card Purchase Transactions. These are purchase transactions using your debit card that are processed through a signature-based network. Rather than entering a PIN, you typically sign for the purchase; however, merchants may not require your signature for certain transactions. Merchants may seek authorization for these types of transactions. The authorization request places a hold on funds in your account when the authorization is completed. The “authorization hold” will reduce your available balance by the amount authorized but will not affect your actual balance. The transaction is subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. This can happen hours or sometimes days after the transaction, depending on the merchant and its payment processor. These payment requests are received in real time throughout the day and are posted to your account when they are received. The amount of an authorization hold may differ from the actual payment because the final transaction amount may not yet be known to the merchant when you present your card for payment. For example, if you use your debit card at a restaurant, a hold will be placed in an amount equal to the bill presented to you; but when the transaction posts, it will include any tip that you may have added to the bill. This may also be the case where you present your debit card for payment at gas stations, hotels and certain other retail establishments. We cannot control how much a merchant asks us to authorize, or when a merchant submits a transaction for payment. For debit card transactions involving merchant authorization holds, there may be a delay between the hold being applied items paid and the transaction posting to overdraft and returned item fees assessed. You can avoid fees for overdrafts and returned items by making sure that your account. During the delay, intervening transactions may impact the available balance in your account. It is important to keep in mind that we check your available balance both at the time the merchant’s authorization request is received and again when the transaction settles and posts to your account. If your available balance is insufficient to cover the amount of the merchant’s authorization request, we will decline the request. If your available Account ledger balance is sufficient to cover your outstanding transactions. We recommend that you enroll in an optional overdraft protection plan, such as the merchant’s authorization request, the request will be approved, and an authorization hold Commercial Credit Sweep Service. Information on our overdraft protection plans is available in the amount of the request will be placed on your account. The transaction will be subsequently processed by the merchant and submitted to us ”Overdraft Protection for payment. If the transaction settles and posts to your account at a time when the available balance is insufficient to pay the transaction without causing an overdraft (i.e., posting the transaction results in an available balance of less than $0), we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account, even though the available balance in your account was sufficient to cover the transaction at the time it was authorized. The following example illustrates how this works: Assume your actual and available balances are both $40, and you use your debit card at a restaurant to pay your bill totaling $30. If the restaurant requests authorization in the amount of $30, an authorization hold is placed on $30 in your account. Your available balance is only $10, but the actual balance remains $40. Before the restaurant charge is sent to us for payment, a check that you wrote for $40 is presented for payment. Because your available balance is only $10 due to the $30 authorization hold, your account will be overdrawn by $30 when the check transaction is posted to your account even though your actual balance is $40. In this example, if we pay the $40 check in accordance with our standard overdraft services, we will charge you a fee for overdrawing your account as disclosed in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. The fee will also be deducted from your account, further increasing the overdrawn amount. In addition, when the restaurant charge is finally submitted to us for payment, we will release the authorization hold and pay the transaction amount to the restaurant. The transaction amount may be $30 or a different amount (for example, if you added a tip). Because the amount of the restaurant charge exceeds your available balance at the time the charge is settled (i.e., at the time the merchant or its financial institution requests payment or the transaction posts to your account), we will charge you another fee for overdrawing your account, even though you had a sufficient available balance in your account at the time the restaurant charge was authorized and approved. This is a general description of certain types of transactions. These practices may change, and we reserve the right to pay items in any order we choose as permitted by law. Understanding Your Account Balance. Your share draft account has two kinds of balances: the actual balance and the available balance. ❖ Actual Balance – Your actual balance reflects the full amount of all deposits to your account as well as payment transactions that have been posted to your account. It does not reflect drafts you have written and are still outstanding or transactions that have been authorized but are still pending. ❖ Available Balance – Your available balance is your actual balance less:Corporate Accounts.”
