Truth-In-Savings Account Disclosure

Effective Date: April 10, 2023

The rates, fees and terms applicable to your account at Mutual Security Credit Union are provided in this Truth-in-Savings Disclosure. Mutual Security Credit Union may offer other rates for these accounts from time to time.

1. Rate Information

The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) 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. We are prohibited by law from guaranteeing the payment of dividends or that the dividends we do pay will be at the contracted rate. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields may change at any time as determined by the Board of Directors. A withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.

2. Balance Calculation Method

You will be paid a dividend rate based on the daily method. Under the daily method, a daily periodic rate is applied to the full amount of principal in the account each day for the period.

3. Accrual of Dividends

Dividends begin to accrue on the business day you make a deposit including non-cash (e.g. checks) items to your account. If you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends may not be paid.

4. Compounding and Crediting

Dividends will be compounded and credited monthly as set forth in our Rate Schedule.

5. Minimum Balance to Earn Dividends

For certain accounts, we may require a minimum balance to earn dividends. The amounts of these minimum balances are set forth in our Rate Schedule. We use the daily balance method to determine if the minimum balance requirements have been met. Certain accounts may have step or tiered rate features, as set forth in our Rate Schedule.

6. Minimum Balance to Open and Maintain Accounts

For certain accounts, we may require a minimum deposit to open the account and a minimum balance to maintain the account. These amounts are set forth in our Rate Schedule.

7. Minimum Balance to Waive or Reduce Charges

For certain accounts, we may waive or reduce certain account charges if you maintain a specified minimum balance. The minimum balance rules for waiving or reducing charges are set forth in our Rate Schedule.

8. Restrictions on Withdrawals

We have the right to require that you provide us at least seven (7) days written notice to withdraw from a savings or dividend bearing checking account. We may, except in unforeseen circumstances, give advance notice of our intent to impose this requirement. Except for checking and money market accounts, we can require that you make the withdrawals in person and only at the office in which you opened the account.

9. Fees for Overdrawing Accounts

Fees for overdrawing your account may be imposed on each check/draft, item, ATM transaction and one-time debit transaction (if member has consented to overdraft protection plan for ATM and one-time debit card transactions), preauthorized automatic debit, telephone initiated withdrawal or any other electronic withdrawal or transfer transaction that is drawn on an insufficient available account balance. The entire balance in your account may not be available for withdrawal, transfer or paying a check/draft or item. You may consult the Funds Availability Policy Disclosure for information regarding the availability of funds in your account. Fees for overdrawing your account may be imposed for each overdraft, regardless of whether we pay or return the draft, item, or transaction. If we have approved an overdraft protection limit for your account, such fees may reduce your approved limit. Please refer to the Fee Schedule for current fee information. For ATM and one-time debit transactions, you must consent to MSCU’s Courtesy Pay Program for the transaction amount to be covered. Without your consent, MSCU may not authorize and pay an overdraft resulting from these types of transactions. Services and fees for overdrafts are shown on the Overdraft Protection Services Opt-In Form and the Fee Schedule. Overdraft transactions are excluded from the Freedom Checking account.
