TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR ACCOUNT
Dear Credit Union Member:
This page is intended to provide you with information about one or more accounts
offered by the Credit Union. It contains rules which govern your account(s) with
us. Please read this carefully as you are entering into a binding agreement with
the Credit Union. If you sign an Account Agreement Card and use your account after
you read this it means you understand and agree to these rules. Much of our relationship
with our members is governed by our bylaws and by state and federal law, both of
which may change from time to time.
USA PATRIOT ACT
The USA Patriot Act was established to protect you, your family, and our country
from terrorism by preventing the funding of terrorist organizations. This law requires
that we obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens
an account. We must also verify the identity of non-members added as joint account
members or co-borrowers. In addition to verifying identification, in some cases,
the Credit Union must also keep copies of the documents used to verify your identity.
Any copies of documents used to verify identity will be secured in compliance with
the Credit Unions Privacy Policy.
Existing members may also need to furnish copies of any documents used to verify
their identity when requesting new accounts or services. If you have any questions,
please contact a member service representative.
The Credit Union reserves the right to waive the enforcement of any of the terms
in this Agreement with respect to any transaction. Any such waiver would not affect
the right of the Credit Union to enforce any of its rights with respect to other
members, or to enforce any right with respect to a later transaction with this member.
As used on this page, the word "we" means the credit union and the word "you"
means the account holder. Words and phrases used here should be interpreted so that
the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular (except where
we clearly intend otherwise).
DEPOSITS - Any non-cash item deposited to your account (including items drawn
on us) will be given provisional credit only until collection of the item is final.
We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository
until we actually record them. All transactions received after the close of business
on a business day we are open, or received on a day in which we are not open for
business, will be treated and recorded as if initiated on the next business day
that we are open.
WITHDRAWALS - GENERALLY - Any one of you who signs in the space designated for
Signature on the Account Agreement Card may withdraw or transfer all or any part
of the account balance at any time. Each of you authorizes each other person signing
the Account Agreement Card to endorse any item payable to you or your order for
deposit to your account or any other transaction with us (until we receive written
notice to the contrary). We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal or transfer
request which is attempted by any method not specifically permitted, which exceeds
any frequency limitation or violates any minimum or maximum dollar limitation. We
will use the date a transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the date you initiated
it) to apply any frequency limitations. Withdrawals will first be made from collected
funds, and we may refuse any withdrawal request against uncollected funds. The credit
union usually allows regular Share Account funds to be withdrawn at any time without
previous notice, but reserves the right to demand 60 days notice of withdrawal.
FEES - The Credit Union has the right to charge fees in connection with its services.
These fees may change from time to time. Listed below is a current fee schedule

DIVIDENDS - Dividends are paid from available earnings. The rate and method we
use to calculate dividends may change from time to time.
LIABILITY - Each of you agrees, for yourself (and the person or entity you represent
if you sign as a representative of another) to the terms of this account and the
charges that we may impose. (If you have any questions about the charges that may
be imposed please ask us.) You authorize us to deduct these charges directly from
the account balance as accrued. You also agree to pay additional reasonable charges
we may impose for services you request which are not contemplated by this agreement
or your account. If you have any questions about the charges that may be imposed
please ask us. You authorize us to deduct these charges directly from the account
balance as accrued. Each of you also agrees to be jointly and severally liable for
any account deficit (resulting, for example, from charges imposed, overdrafts, or
items cashed or deposited that are returned unpaid) whether caused by you or another
individual authorized to withdraw from your account, together with the costs we
incur to collect the deficit including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable
attorney’s fees. In addition the member waives the right to a jury trial in disputes
concerning their accounts with the Credit Union.
MINIMUM MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT - To be and remain a member of this credit union,
you must subscribe to at least one share. Opening balances may differ between accounts.
Your membership will terminate if you withdraw all your shares.
LIENS OR GARNISHMENT OF YOUR ACCOUNT(S) - Under the Federal Credit Union Act
(12 U.S.C. Section 1757(11), the Credit Union has the right to impress and enforce
a statutory lien against your shares and dividends in the event of your failure
to satisfy a financial obligation to the Credit Union. The Credit Union may enforce
that right by applying the balance of shares and dividends in your account(s) at
that time of that default in order to satisfy your obligation. We may exercise this
right without further notice to you. However, shares that you have in any account
that would lose special tax treatment under any law, if subject to this interest,
are excluded from this interest.
Set off is the right of one who is indebted to another to reduce or eliminate the
indebtedness by charging against the debt any amount which his creditor in that
transaction may owe him in another transaction as borrower, guarantor, or otherwise.
The Credit Union may use the account to pay the debt even if withdrawal results
in an interest penalty or dishonor of subsequent drafts.
Any garnishment, levy or execution against the account is subject to the Credit
Union's right of set off and security interest. If garnishment, levy, or execution
is brought upon the account, the Credit Union may refuse to allow any withdrawals
until the dispute is resolved. In such a case, the Credit Union will not be liable
to the member, even if paying the money to the third party leaves insufficient funds
to cover outstanding drafts. All expenses in responding to a court order are chargeable
to the member.
ACCOUNT TRANSFER - No account may be transferred or assigned without prior written
consent.
DIRECT DEPOSITS - If, in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any
amount in an account which should have been returned to the Federal Government for
any reason, you authorize us to deduct the amount of our liability to the Federal
Government from your account without prior notice and at any time, except as prohibited
by law. We may also use any other legal remedy to recover the amount of our liability.
JOINT ACCOUNT OWNERSHIP - Any account in 2 or more names, that is payable to
either of the named persons, or to any survivor, will be treated as a joint account
provided that all the account holders have signed the account agreement card. A
joint account creates a legal form of ownership which is called a "joint tenancy."
Each joint owner named on the account, who has signed the signature card, is considered
to be an owner of the account. Every owner has an equal and undivided interest in
all monies deposited into, and any interest earned on, the account even though he
or she may not have owned the monies originally. This means that while all the owners
are living, we, the Credit Union, may honor withdrawal requests, checks or orders
drawn by any owner for part or all of the monies in the account. The Credit Union
may do this without giving notice to or receiving the consent of the other owner(s),
unless we first receive a written notice signed by any owner directing the Credit
Union not to pay or deliver any part of the joint account. If the Credit Union receives
such a notice, we may require written authorization from all owners before we allow
any payment or a transfer from the account. This written notice does not prevent
us from making, or make us liable for, any payment from the account to any third
party or us, as described above.
ADDITIONAL RULES FOR CHECKING ACCOUNTS - The word item will mean a check and
any other means of deposit or withdrawal. (For example, an item could be a check
deposited to or written on an account, or an electronic deposit to, transfer, or
withdrawal from an account.) The following rules apply to our checking accounts:
FORMS - You must use only approved checks to withdraw funds from this type of
account. Withdrawals by electronic funds transfer, using your ATM or VISA® Debit
Card are also available. Limits regarding the use of these cards are explained in
the EFT section of this information.
OVERDRAFTS - We are under no obligation to pay an item which exceeds the balance
in your account. If however, we do pay such an item, you are still responsible for
the overdraft and any fee we may impose for it.
PAYMENT OF CHECKS - We may pay a check on whatever day it is presented for payment,
not withstanding the date appearing on the check. If a member dies or is adjudicated
incompetent, the Credit Union retains the reasonable opportunity to act on it. Even
with knowledge, the Credit Union may, for ten (10) days after the date of death,
pay checks drawn before death unless ordered to stop payment by a person claiming
an interest in the account. The Credit Union is protected from liability when it
continues to honor a member's check even though it has received notice of an adverse
claim to the account. Unless the Credit Union is served with an appropriate court
order or the claim provides the Credit Union with indemnity (at a level acceptable
to the Credit Union) it may ignore the adverse claim.
PAID CHECKS - Paid checks will not be returned to you. We will make photocopies
available to you of specific paid checks upon your request. A fee may be imposed
for each check copied.
STOP PAYMENTS - You may stop payment on a check drawn on your account. An oral
stop order is effective for only fourteen (14) days and must be followed up with
written notice that is effective for six (6) months. The Credit Union will not honor
a stop payment order on an Official Check. You must inform the Credit Union of the
exact amount of the check, the number of the check, and the number of the account.
Also, the Credit Union is entitled to a reasonable period of time following the
stop order to notify its employees. A fee will be charged for this service.
WRONGFUL DISHONOR - If we dishonor a check by mistake, our liability is limited
to actual damages proved. The Credit Union retains the right to pay or dishonor
a check more than six (6) months old without prior notice to the member. The Credit
Union retains the right to disregard information on the check other than the identification
of the payor, payable through bank, payee, and the amount. Language on the check
such as "void if not paid in 30 days" or "not good in excess of $100.00" or the
like, will not be honored.
STATEMENTS - The Credit Union will mail statements monthly to the member. The
member is expected to examine the statements carefully and reconcile the account.
If there are any discrepancies, the Credit Union should be notified immediately,
as the statement is considered correct unless the Credit Union is notified within
sixty (60) days of the member receiving the statement of any errors. A fee will
be charged for reproduction of a statement or account history other than the current
processing cycle.
TERMINATION OF ACCOUNT - We may close your checking account at any time by mailing
you a notice with a remittance for the balance less an Involuntary Closing Fee.
We are not liable for refusing to pay any check presented after an account is closed.
LIABILITY - The member may terminate the relationship upon written ten (10) day
notice. The termination, however, does not release the member from payment of accrued
fees or liability for checks in process, and entitles the member to the return of
the balance less any appropriate debt items.
ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS (EFT)
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT - This Agreement describes the terms and conditions that govern
Electronic Fund Transfer transactions at Lyell Federal Credit Union (the "Credit
Union"). In this Agreement, the words "you," "your," and "yours," refer to the member
who has access to Electronic Fund Transfer Services. The words, "we," "our" and
"us" refer to the Credit Union.
TYPES OF ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) AVAILABLE - The following summarizes
the types of EFT services the Credit Union offers. You must sign up separately for
each service requested. Therefore, some of the following may not apply to you at
this time, but may apply to you at some time in the future.
A. Online Account Access - To gain access to the World Wide Web and LFCU-CONNECT
you will need your account number (shares or checking) and a temporary personal
identification number (PIN) that has been assigned by LFCU and mailed to you via
the U.S. Postal Service. The first time you log on with this temporary PIN, you
will be prompted to change the PIN to one that you create. Once you have done this,
you may perform transactions at any time, twenty-four hours a day, 7 days a week.
Using LFCU-CONNECT, you will be able to: inquire about balances, transfer funds
between accounts, make loan payments, transfer funds between different account numbers,
view E statements and other documents, request a check be mailed to you, as well
as other services.
WITHDRAWAL (BY CHECK) TRANSACTIONS - If you perform a withdrawal using LFCU-CONNECT,
you are requesting a check disbursement of funds to you from your shares or checking
account. The check will be payable to the primary name on record for the account
from which the funds were withdrawn and will be mailed to the address shown on our
account records. Allow at least three (3) business days from the processing date
of the transaction to receive your check in the mail.
If you wish to make deposits to another member’s account, you must sign up for this
option by going to the Transaction section and then clicking on the Cross Account
Transfer link. Your information will be submitted, via email, to our member services
representatives. If you request it, an email notification will be sent to you confirming
that the accounts are set up to receive cross account transfers.
B. Pre-Authorized Deposits - You can arrange to have amounts which are regularly
paid to you, (i.e. social security, pension etc.) deposited directly to your account.
You may call us at (585) 458-9220 to find out whether or not a pre-authorized deposit
has been made.
C. Electronic check conversions - A check written by you can result in an electronic
funds transfer. This can happen in several ways. For example:
- You can purchase goods or pay for services and authorize a merchant or service
provider to convert your check into an electronic funds transfer which will
allow the merchant to immediately debit your checking account or,
- At the time you offer a check to a merchant or service provider, you may
be asked to authorize the merchant or service provider to electronically collect
a charge in the event the check is returned for insufficient funds. Paying such
a fee electronically is an electronic funds transfer.
- Your authorization to make these types of electronic funds transfers may be
expressed in writing or implied through the posting of a sign by the merchant.
D. Visa® Debit - Automated Teller Machine (ATM) - You may use your Visa® Debit
Card to withdraw cash or purchase goods and services at financial institutions and
merchants that accept Visa®. Some of these services may not be available at all
terminals. If you use an ATM terminal that we do not own and operate, you may also
be charged a fee by the owner of the ATM terminal. This fee, called a surcharge,
will be disclosed to you by the ATM-owning institution before you complete your
transaction. You may cancel the transaction at that time. If you agree to complete
the transaction, the amount of your transaction plus the ATM owner’s fee will be
deducted from your checking account. Additional fees may apply.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER - In connection with your participation in the
EFT programs, we have issued you your own PIN (Personal Identification Number).
Each time you wish to make an EFT, you must communicate your PIN. To ensure that
no unauthorized transactions are made on your account, you should take all reasonable
precautions to prevent any other person from learning or using your PIN. For example,
you should never keep any material containing your PIN with or attached to your
Card or any information about your account.
LIMITATION ON FREQUENCY AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS OF EFT TRANSACTIONS
- For security reasons, there are limits on the number of transactions you
can make using ATMs, POB and POS facilities.
ATM Card AND POB - You may withdraw up to $500 each time you use the card, with
a maximum of $500.00 each 24 hour period provided the funds are available from your
account.
POS - There is no limit to the number of POS transactions per day providing the
funds are available from your account.
ACCESS DENIAL - You will be denied the use of the Card if you exceed the daily
withdrawal limit, do not have adequate funds available in your account, or you do
not enter the correct Personal Identification Number. The receipt provided by the
terminal will notify you of the denial. There is a limit on the number of such denials
permitted. Attempts to exceed the limit will result in machine retention of your
Card. The number of attempts that result in machine retention is not revealed for
security reasons.
Overdrafts - You promise to pay the Credit Union immediately upon demand for
any negative (overdraft) balance arising in your Account, unless you have available
overdraft privileges. If you do not have overdraft privileges, the Credit Union
may deduct the amount of any overdraft on your Account from any other account you
have with the Credit Union. Debit card transactions will be processed before checking
transactions or any other debit transaction each day. You will be assessed an NSF
fee for each transaction that attempts to post for which there are insufficient
funds. Repeated overdraft situations may result in the loss of your Debit card privileges.
Right to Stop Pre-authorized Payments - If you have arranged to have regular
payments made from your Account, you can stop any of these payments. Call the Credit
Union at 585-458-9220 or write us 1546 Lyell Avenue,
Rochester, NY
14606. We should receive notification at least 3
business days before the payment is scheduled to be posted to your account. If you
call, the Credit Union may also require you to put your request in writing within
14 days of your call.
Refusal to Honor Card - The Credit Union is not liable for the refusal or inability
of any electronic terminal to honor the Card or to complete a withdrawal from your
Account, or for their retention of the Card. The Credit Union is also not responsible
for the refusal of a merchant or financial institution to honor the Card or for
their retention of the Card.
Foreign Transactions - Transactions that are initiated in foreign countries and
foreign currencies will be charged to your account in U.S. dollars. The conversion
rate to U.S. dollars will be at (1) the wholesale market rate or (2) the government
mandated rate, whichever is applicable, in effect one (1) day prior to the processing
date, increased by one percent (1%).
General - To the extent permitted by law, you agree to pay reasonable costs,
including attorneys’ fees in the event the Credit Union sues you to enforce this
Agreement. This Agreement is binding upon your heirs, personal representatives and
successors and if more than one, jointly and severally.
DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSACTIONS
Receipts - You will get a receipt at the time you make any transaction using
an ATM, POS or POB facility.
Periodic Statements - You will receive a monthly statement which will show all
EFTs during the period covered by the statement.
LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS - Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your
Card or PIN has been lost or stolen. Telephoning us is the best way of keeping your
possible loss down. You could lose all the money in your account; however, if you
tell us within (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used
your 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 Card or PIN, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using
your Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much
as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transactions 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
will not recover any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could
have stopped someone from taking the money had you 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.
ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER - If you believe your Card or PIN has been lost
or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without your permission or for any reason you wish to contact us about your account:
Call: (585) 458-9220
Write: General Manager

BUSINESS DAYS - Our business days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday
from 9:00 am until
4:00 pm. Thursday hours are from
9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Holidays are not included.
FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS - If we do not complete a transaction to or from
your account on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you,
we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions.
We will not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account
to make the transfer.
- If, the Terminal where you are making the transaction does not have enough
cash.
- If the Terminal was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown
when you started the transaction.
- If the money in the account is subject to a Court Order restricting its
removal from the account or is the subject of a dispute.
- If we believe in good faith that the transaction is being started without
your authorization.
- If our failure to complete the transaction is justified by any provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and us concerning your
account or by law or applicable regulation.
- If the right to use your card has been cancelled.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the
transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken to prevent the
occurrence.
- There may be other exceptions not stated here.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION - In the regular course of business, we will
disclose information about your account, or the transactions affecting your account:
- Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
- In order to verify the existence or condition of your account to a third
party such as a credit bureau or merchant;
- In order to comply with applicable laws, governmental regulations, or legal
process
- If you give us your written permission.
IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TRANSACTIONS - Call or write us at the address or number listed on this page as soon as you
can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information
about a transaction listed on your statement or receipt. We must hear from you no
later than 60 days after the first statement on which the problem or error appeared
was sent to you.
- Tell us your name and account number.
- Describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about and explain as
clearly as you can why you believe it is in error or why you need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. We will tell you the results
of our investigation within 10 business days after we hear from you, and we
will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take
up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do
this, we will recredit your account within 10 business days for the amount you
think is in error so that you will have the use of the money during the time
it takes to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint
or questions in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we
may not recredit your account.
If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation
within 3 business days after we finish our investigation. If we have provisionally
recredited your account during the investigation and determine that there was no
error, we will notify you of the date on which we will redebit your account and
the amount to be redebited. You should make certain that your account contains sufficient
funds to cover this debit. If an overdraft occurs during this period, we have the
right to collect the amount from you. If this happens, your right to participate
in the specific Program under which the debit was made will be suspended, and you
will not be considered for reinstatement until you pay for all such debits.
TERMINATION - We may cancel any or all EFT services at any time for any reason.
The cancellation will take effect immediately unless we determine otherwise. As
soon as you learn of the cancelIation, you must stop using the EFT service and return
the card (if applicable) to us at once. If you use your card at a terminal after
we have cancelled your right to use the card, it may not be given back to you. You
may terminate your participation in the Program, but you must do so by writing to
us at the address we have given you. Your participation shall be terminated on the
business day after we receive your written notification. You agree not to close
your account unless you first notify us and stop using the EFT Services. You agree
to pay us for any cash or services which remain unpaid after termination. Termination
of this Agreement in no way affects your responsibility for EFTs occurring before
termination or made using your Card or PIN after termination. You may not assign
your rights under this Agreement and any attempted assignment will be void.
NOTICES AND CHANGES OF ADDRESS - Any notice we send to you will be sent by regular
mail to your mailing address as currently shown in our records. You must promptly
notify us in writing of a change in your address. A fee will be accessed to your
account for each undeliverable item.
EVIDENCE - In any legal proceeding involving this Agreement or your card, a copy
of this agreement kept by us in the regular course of our business is to be admitted
in evidence as an original of this Agreement.
CONFLICTS - If any part of this Agreement conflicts with any applicable law or
regulation, the law or regulation will control. If any part of this Agreement is
determined by a court to be invalid, the rest will remain in effect.
CARDS ISSUED TO MORE THAN ONE PERSON - If cards relating to your account are
issued to more than one person, all those persons will be individually and jointly
liable under this Agreement. We can send or deliver any notice concerning this Agreement
or any cards to any one of them, and it will be binding on all of them.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT - This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between
you and us concerning EFT Services. By performing an EFT or authorizing someone
else to do so with respect to your account, you agree to be bound by all provisions
of this Agreement. Any legal question concerning this Agreement will be decided
in accordance with New York State Law and, to the extent applicable, Federal Law.
AMENDMENTS - We may change the terms of this Disclosure Statement and Agreement
at any time. You will receive written notice of the changes to the extent required
by law.
RESPONSIBILITY - You are responsible for any transaction made by you or by anyone
else you authorize to use your Card or PIN.
FUNDS AVAILABILITY
This policy statement applies to "transaction" accounts. Transaction accounts,
in general, are accounts which permit an unlimited number of payments to third persons
and an unlimited number of telephone and preauthorized transfers to other accounts
of yours with us.
Checking accounts are the most common transaction accounts. Our policy is to make
funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day
we receive your deposit. At that time, you can withdraw the funds or 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 after our
regular business hours or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit
was made on the next business day we are open.
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 deposit 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, 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 need
the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under
the following circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposited 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 a 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 (11) 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 thirty days your account is open: The first $5,000
from a deposit of U.S. Treasury checks will be available on the first business day
after the day of your deposit. The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth
business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from deposits of cash and the
first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's
and state and local government checks will be available 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. The excess over $5,000 will be available on the
ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If you do not make the deposit
