Truth in Savings Disclosure


Regular Share Account, Money One Share Account, Christmas Club Account, Vacation Club Account, Ira Share Account, Special Share Account, & Share Draft/checking Account

1. Rate Information: The Annual Percentage Yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For Regular Share, Money One Share, Christmas Club Share, Vacation Club Share, IRA Share and Special Share Accounts, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield may change quarterly as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields are the rates and yields as of the last dividend declaration date which is set forth in the Rate Schedule.

2. Nature of Dividends: Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.

3. Dividend Compounding and Crediting: The compounding and crediting of dividends and dividend period applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. The Dividend Period is the period of time at the end of which an account earns dividend credit. The Dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the period and ends on the last calendar day of the period.

4. Accrual of Dividends: For Regular Share, Money One Share, Christmas Club Share, Vacation Club Share, IRA Share and Special Share accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on non-cash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. For Regular Share, Money One Share, Christmas Club Share, Vacation Club Share, IRA Share, and Special Share accounts, if you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.

5. Balance Information: The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For Regular Share and Money One Share accounts, there is a minimum average daily balance required to obtain the Annual Percentage Yield for the dividend period. If the minimum average daily balance is not met, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For Regular Share, Money One Share, Christmas Club Share, Vacation Club Share, IRA Share and Special Share accounts using an Average Daily Balance method, dividends are calculated by applying a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is determined by adding the full amount of principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.

6. Account Limitations: For Regular Share, Money One Share and Vacation Club Share accounts, no more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic or telephone transfers may be made from these accounts to another account of yours or to a third party in any month, and no more than three (3) of these six (6) transfers may be made by check, draft, or debit card to a third party. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed. For Christmas Club Share account, the entire balance will be paid to you by check or transferred to another account of ours on or after October 1 and the account will remain open. If you withdraw any of the account balance at any time we will close your account and pay you the full account balance. You may make transfers or withdrawals in the first seven (7) days after the account is opened without restriction. For IRA Share, Special Share and Share Draft/Checking accounts, no account limitations apply.

Also, the following restrictions apply to all accounts according to the Bylaws of Chemco 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 the credit committee or loan officer, except to the extent that such shares exceed the member’s total primary and contingent liability to the credit union

c. No member may withdraw any shareholdings below the amount of his or her primary or contingent liability to the credit union if he is delinquent, as a borrower, of if borrowers for whom he is co-maker, endorser, or guarantor are delinquent, without the written approval of the credit committee or a loan officer.

7. Fees and Charges: The fees and charges that may be charged on an account are itemized in the “Schedule of Fees” available on this site. 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 it the account on which the fee was assessed as been closed or if it has an insufficient balance to pay the charge. For purposes of the Dormant Account Fee, a member’s account is considered dormant if it meets all the following criteria:. (a) Member is 18 years of age or older (b) No open loan (c) No open Visa credit card (d) No open IRA account (e) No open share certificates and (f) Either total share balance less than $100 and no monetary transactions within 1 year.

Share Insurance: Credit Union accounts are federally insured to $100,000 by the National Credit Union Administration.


Share Certificate Accounts

1. RATE INFORMATION. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield on your Certificate account is set forth on the certificate itself. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the account. The Annual Percentage Yield is based on the assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.

2. COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING. Dividends will be compounded and credited as set forth on the certificate itself. The dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the period and ends on the last calendar day of the period.

3. ACCRUAL OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends will begin accrue on non-cash deposits (e.g.,checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. If you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.

4. BALANCE INFORMATION. The minimum balance required to open the account and earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield is set forth on the certificate itself. If you do not maintain the minimum balance, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. The dividend calculation method for your certificate is set forth on the certificate itself. The daily balance method applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.

5. ACCOUNT LIMITATIONS. After your account is opened you may not make additional deposits to a Certificate account.

6. MATURITY. Your Certificate account will mature on the maturity date stated on the reverse side. The maturity date of Certificate accounts automatically renewed will be stated on your maturity or renewal notice.

7. EARLY WITHDRAWAL PENALTY. We may impose a penalty as stated on the certificate itself if you withdraw any of the principal from your Certificate account or Individual Retirement Account (IRA) before the maturity date.

a. Amount of Penalty. The early penalty amount is set forth on the certificate.

b. How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned at the nominal dividend rate on the account. It applies whether or not the dividend has been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or it the dividends have already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.

c. Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties. At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances:

i. When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction.

ii. Where the account is an IRA and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment; provided that the depositor forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividends earned on the amount withdrawn; or where the account is and IRA and the owner attains age 591/2 or becomes disabled.

8. RENEWAL POLICY. Your account is either single term or automatically renewable as stated on the reverse side. Automatically renewable accounts will renew upon maturity for a like term at the initial term. Automatically renewed accounts will be paid dividends at the dividend rate currently in effect for the renewing term. You have a grace period after maturity in which to withdraw funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. The length of the grace period is stated on the certificate.

9. NONTRANSFERABLE/NONNEGOTIABLE. Your account is nontransferable and nonnegotiable. The funds in your account may not be pledged to secure any obligation of an owner, except obligations with the credit union.

10. SHARE INSURANCE. Credit Union accounts are federally insured to $100,000 by the National Credit Union Administration.
