Rules & Regulations

UNDERSTANDING YOUR TCP CU DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT

TCP Credit Union (TCP CU or the Credit Union) offers you a wide variety of deposit account services. This Rules and Regulations information sheet is the account agreement between you and TCP CU governing all deposit accounts you have at TCP CU. “You” means each person signing the account signature form or card or anyone who has access to the account. When you open, maintain or access a deposit account of any type with the Credit Union, you are consenting to the terms of this agreement. This agreement is a legally binding contract that can be modified only as provided herein. Read and retain this agreement so you can refer to it whenever you have a question about your account. If you have any questions after reading this agreement, the Credit Union will be happy to answer them.

This agreement includes the following sections: Funds Availability, Substitute Check Policy, Regulation D, Truth-in-Savings Disclosure, Service Fees and Terms and Account Agreement and Rules.

Funds Availability – Deposits made to a TCP CU account may not be available immediately. The availability of some deposits may be delayed because of a non-TCP CU check, non-sufficient funds or other circumstances. The “Funds Availability” section discloses TCP CU’s policy and rules for handling deposits.
Substitute Check Policy Disclosure – This is a brief description of the Credit Union’s implementation of the “Check 21” substitute check policy and how it impacts you. Regulation D – This section outlines transfer/withdrawal limitations for share, tax-advantaged (excluding health savings accounts) and money market share accounts. Truth-in-Savings Disclosure – The Credit Union is committed to providing you a complete list of the terms and features for TCP CU depository accounts. This list is included in the “Truth-In-Savings Disclosure” section.

Service Fees and Terms – The “Service Fees and Terms” section gives a complete list of service charges and prices for Credit Union services, including special services and complimentary services.
Account Rules – This section describe additional important terms and conditions which govern the use of your account.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY

TCP CU’s policy is to make funds from your deposits available on the same business day a deposit is received. At that time funds can be withdrawn and TCP CU will use the funds to pay checks that have been written and presented for payment. For TCP CU, business days are Monday through Friday, except for designated holidays. Deposits received by TCP CU before closing on a day that TCP CU is open are credited on that calendar date.

LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
In some cases, TCP CU may delay your ability to withdraw funds beyond the same business day of a deposit. In those cases we will advise you of the date your funds will be available for withdrawal. However, the first $200 of a deposit into a checking account (share draft) will be available on the same business day of deposit. In most instances you will be advised of a delay in funds availability at the time of deposit. However, if a deposit is not made directly to a TCP CU employee or if TCP CU decides to delay availability after you have left the premises, TCP CU will mail a notice by the end of the next business day after the deposit is received. TCP CU will delay funds up to the maximum schedule of funds availability as allowed by the Federal Reserve Bank’s Regulation CC for most checks. In addition to these schedules, funds deposited by check may be delayed for a longer period for special circumstances, such as (but not limited to):

  • account is less than 30 days old
  • TCP CU is unable to verify that a check will be paid
  • there are erasures or discrepancies on a check
  • a check in the deposit was previously returned unpaid
  • the account has been overdrawn repeatedly in the last six months
  • checks deposited total more than $5,000 in one day
  • TCP CU is notified that a check previously deposited is being returned unpaid
  • there is an emergency such as failure of communications or computer equipment

SPECIAL RULES

Holds On Other Funds – Check Cashing: If TCP CU cashes a check drawn on another financial institution; the availability of an equal amount of funds already in any of your TCP CU accounts may be withheld. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the cashed check would have been available, if the check had been deposited. For example: If TCP CU cashes a $500 check for you, $500 of funds already in your account may not be available until up to the seventh business day after the day TCP CU cashed the check. A notice will be sent advising you of this hold by the next business day after the check is cashed.
Holds On Other Funds – Other Accounts: If TCP CU accepts for deposit a check drawn on another financial institution, TCP CU may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay the availability of an equal amount of funds you have on deposit in another account with TCP CU. The funds in the other account would then be available for withdrawal at the time funds from the deposited check would have been available. A notice will be sent advising you of this hold by the next business day after TCP CU receives the deposit.

SUBSTITUTE CHECK POLICY DISCLOSURE

Substitute Checks and Your Rights: In October of 2003, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (Check 21) was passed into law and became effective October 28, 2004. The goal of this act is “to improve the overall efficiency of the nation’s payment system.” Since today’s check processing environment involves extensive transportation costs and is time consuming, this law allows for the creation of a new negotiable instrument called a “substitute check” which will expedite the check collection process.

What is a substitute check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with “substitute checks.” These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: “This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.” You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks or copies of substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other laws with respect to those transactions.

What are my rights regarding substitute checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, insufficient funds fees). The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other law.

If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest, if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest, if your account earns interest) not later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.

How do I make a claim for a refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and/or that was posted to your account, please call your credit union. You must file your claim with us within 60 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We may extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include:

  • a description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
  • an estimate of the amount of your loss;
  • an explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
  • a copy of the substitute check [and/or] the following information to help us identify the substitute check: the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check

REGULATION D

The Federal Reserve Bank’s Regulation D limits certain withdrawals and transfers from your share and tax–advantaged (excluding health savings accounts). withdrawals and/or transfers are limited to a total of six (6) per account per calendar month:

  • Internet transfers from a share, tax-advantaged (excluding health savings accounts) to another deposit account
  • Phone transfers from a share to another deposit account via your local branch
  • Overdraft transfers from a share account to a checking account
  • Automated funds transfers from a share to another deposit account
  • Funds transfers or withdrawals not initiated in person at a branch and payable to a third party (such as a wire transfer request)

The following withdrawals and/or transfers are not limited on your share or tax-advantaged share account and can be performed as often as needed:

  • Transactions completed in person at a branch
  • Transfers to loans
  • Transactions sent in by mail

NOTE: Deposit accounts that are exempt from Regulation D and therefore have no withdrawal and transfer limitations are as follows: checking accounts.

TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURE

The following sections explain the terms and features for all TCP CU deposit accounts and ownership types. Deposit accounts include share accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), share draft checking, share term certificates (STC). Types of ownership include individual, joint with right of survivorship, payable on death (POD–formerly known as a trustee account), revocable living trusts (RlT), irrevocable trusts (IRT) and Uniform Transfer to Minors Act accounts (UTTMA). The type of ownership of the account is designated by you at the time the account is opened.

COMPOUNDING, CREDITING AND DIVIDEND ACCRUAL
For share accounts and IRA share accounts, dividends are compounded quarterly (calendar) and credited quarterly (calendar). Statements are mailed quarterly (calendar).

For share accounts and IRA share accounts, dividends are paid by the third business day of the next quarter based upon the average daily balance in the account each day of the previous quarter.

For share draft checking accounts, dividends are compounded monthly and credited monthly. Statements are mailed monthly.

For share draft checking accounts, dividends are paid by the third business day of the next month based upon the daily balance in the account each day of the previous month.

For share term certificates (STC), dividends are compounded quarterly (calendar) and credited quarterly (calendar). If an STC is renewed, the interest rate will be based on the rate for that term on the date of renewal.

Dividends begin to accrue on the business day of receipt for cash and non-cash funds received by any method.

CALCULATION METHOD
Dividends are calculated based on the average daily balance method by applying a periodic rate to the balance eligible for dividend accrual in the account each day for share and IRA share accounts and dividends are calculated based on the daily balance method by applying a periodic rate to the balance eligible for dividend accrual in the account each day for share draft checking accounts.

EFFECT OF CLOSING
If you close your account before accrued but unpaid dividends are paid, you will not receive the accrued dividends except for share term certificates which are subject to early withdrawal penalties. (See Fixed Rate Accounts.)

MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS
There is a minimum balance requirement to earn dividends on share accounts and IRA share accounts. The minimum balance to earn dividends on a share or IRA share accounts is $25.00. There is no minimum balance requirement to earn dividends on share draft accounts. The minimum balance to earn dividends on share term certificates is $250.

FIXED RATE ACCOUNTS
A share term certificate is a fixed rate account, which means the rate will not change during the term of the STC. Rates for new STCs are subject to change daily at the discretion of the Board of Directors. You select the term of the STC at the time the account is opened. Terms available for selection are 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. You cannot make any deposits or partial withdrawals from an STC during the STC term. If the principal is withdrawn before the maturity date, an early withdrawal penalty will be charged. The penalty will be 90 days interest on the certificate amount or the actual interest earned, whichever is less.

Certificates will automatically renew into a new certificate for the same term at the then offered interest rate for that term unless you specifically request that the principal be transferred into another deposit account at maturity. Approximately 15 days prior to maturity or renewal, TCP CU will send a notice to you indicating the upcoming action. Future dividends/interest earned on matured funds will be determined based on the existing rate for the deposit account to which funds were transferred. Future earnings on renewed funds will be at the rate offered on the renewal date for an STC of that term.

VARIABLE RATE ACCOUNTS
Share accounts, IRA share accounts and share draft checking accounts are variable rate accounts, and these rates are subject to change daily.

NATURE OF DIVIDENDS
Dividends and interest are paid from TCP CU’s available earnings after any required transfers to reserves.

TRANSACTION LIMITATION
Share and tax-advantaged (excluding HSAs) share accounts are limited to no more than six (6) withdrawal and/or transfer transactions per account per calendar month (See Regulation D section). No checks can be written share accounts.

RATES
Current dividend and interest rates along with corresponding annual percentage yields for all deposit accounts are disclosed in the “Deposit Rate Summary” obtained at the credit union. In addition, you may verify current rates and yields on our website, tcpcu.org.

Statements will be mailed to you by regular first-class mail at the last address shown on the records of the Credit Union. Statements reflect accounts you own and accounts for which you have signature authority. If your statement has more than one account, any authorized signer having electronic access may see the entire statement, including other accounts. Should a statement be presented in compliance with a court order, subpoena or other legal process, we will present the entire statement as maintained in the normal course of record-keeping.

JOINT ACCOUNTS

All joint accounts are governed by North Carolina General Statute 54-109.58. All joint accounts with TCP CU, regardless of which owner deposits the funds, shall be held by the depositors as co-owners with the right of survivorship. The Credit Union may pay the money in the account to, or on the order of, either or any of the depositors named on the account. Upon the death of one joint owner, the money remaining in the account will belong to the surviving joint owner(s) and will not pass by inheritance to the heirs of the deceased joint owner or be controlled by the deceased joint owner’s will.

PAYABLE ON DEATH ACCOUNTS

Payable on Death (POD) accounts are governed by North Carolina General Statute 54-109.57A. The POD account may be set up with multiple owners and multiple beneficiaries. If there are two or more owners, the owners shall own the account as joint tenants with right of survivorship. During the lifetime of the owner(s), they are the sole owner(s) of the funds in the account and any owner may withdraw the money in the account. By written notice to the Credit Union, the owner(s), individually or jointly, may change the beneficiary(ies) at any time. Upon the death of the last surviving owner, the money remaining in the account will belong to the beneficiary(ies) and will not be inherited by the heirs of the owners or controlled by will.

TRUST DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS

The Credit Union will accept accounts titled in the name of a Revocable living Trust or an Irrevocable Trust. However, the Credit Union will accept no responsibility for determining whether a grantor or trustee is qualified to act or has been duly appointed to act in that capacity, nor whether any transaction involving the account is in accordance with or authorized by applicable law or the trust agreement. The Credit Union only acts as the depository for the funds.

PERSONAL AGENCY ACCOUNTS

Personal agency accounts are governed by North Carolina General Statute 54-109.63. The agent named on the account may sign checks/withdrawals on the account and make deposits to the account. If an owner of the account becomes incapacitated or mentally incompetent, the agent will have the authority to continue acting on behalf of the owner(s). The personal agent’s authority ends upon the death of the last owner and the money remaining in the account will be controlled by the will or inherited by the heirs of the last account owner to die, OR released to any POD beneficiary(ies), if the account is a POD account.

SHARE TERM CERTIFICATE

Should an early withdrawal be made of the funds in a STC account, a penalty will be assessed on interest earned.

UNIFORM TRANSFERS TO MINORS ACT ACCOUNTS

The terms of these accounts hereby are deemed to include the provisions of North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 33A. This transfer of money to the minor named, which transfer shall be deemed to include all earnings thereon and any future additions thereto, is irrevocable.

CLOSING AN ACCOUNT

The Credit Union may close an account, without prior notification, if you breach any terms of this agreement or the Credit Union at its sole discretion determines continual maintenance of the account exposes the Credit Union to risk of financial loss. The Credit Union at its sole discretion, with notice, may close an account for any reason not prohibited by applicable law.

FEDERAL WIRE TRANSFERS AND ACH TRANSACTIONS

The following is provided as a requirement of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code. If you send or receive a wire transfer, the Federal Reserve Bank’s FEDWIRE transfer system may be used. Regulation J is the law governing those transfers. If you give the Credit Union a payment order which identifies the beneficiary (recipient of the funds) by both name and identifying or account number, payment may be made by the beneficiary’s financial institution on the basis of the identifying or institution account number, even if the number identifies a person different than the named beneficiary. If you give the Credit Union a payment order which identifies an intermediary or beneficiary’s institution by both name and an identifying number, a receiving institution may rely on the number as the proper identification even if it identifies a different institution than the named institution. Wire transfers not initiated in person at a branch from share, tax-advantaged (excluding HSAs) or money market share accounts are subject to Federal Regulation D. See Regulation D section.

Automated Clearing House (ACH) items are paperless transfers between financial institutions such as direct deposit of a payroll check or benefit payment. The Credit Union may give you credit for ACH payments it receives for you before it receives final settlement of the funds transfer from the originating financial institution. You are hereby notified and agree that if the Credit Union does not receive such final settlement, it is entitled to a refund from you of the amount credited to you in connection with that ACH entry. ACH transactions are governed by the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association. In accordance with these rules, the Credit Union will not provide any member with next day notice of receipt of ACH credit transfers to an account. Notices of receipt of ACH items are included in the periodic account statements the Credit Union provides.

The Credit Union may accept on your behalf payments to your account which have been transmitted through one or more Automated Clearing Houses and which are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of North Carolina, unless it has been otherwise specified in a separate agreement that the law of some other state shall govern.

ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS

You may use a TCP CU debit card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to authorize transactions on deposit and credit accounts. The transactions may be made at qualified Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) or point-of-sale (POS) terminals. You agree to all terms in the disclosures concerning the use of a TCP CU debit card that are mailed with the card or provided electronically.

You may also use pre-authorized electronic funds transfers through the ACH system to make deposits to your accounts or to pay bills or make payments from a share draft checking account. If an unauthorized ACH debit transaction has posted to an account, you must report the transaction within 60 days of TCP CU’s transmittal of the periodic statement to avoid liability for subsequent transfers. In order to be eligible for reimbursement of an unauthorized ACH debit, you must notify TCP CU and complete a Written Statement Under Penalty of Perjury within 60 days of the settlement date of the transaction.
