For All Dividend-Bearing Accounts Except For Term Share Certificates and IRA Term Share Certificates

 

Rate information:

The dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change every dividend period. We may change the dividend rate for your account as determined by the credit union board of directors.

Compounding and crediting:

Dividends will be compounded monthly and will be credited monthly.

Dividend period:

The dividend period is monthly, for example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1, and the ending date of such dividend period is January 31. All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date is the last day of the dividend period and for the example above is January 31.  

Effect of closing an account:

If you close your share account before dividends are paid, you will not receive the accrued dividends.

Accrual of dividends on noncash deposits:

Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you place noncash items (for example, checks) to your account.

Nature of dividends:

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

 

For All Term Share Certificates and IRA Term Share Certificates

 

Compounding and crediting:

Dividends will be compounded monthly and will be credited monthly.

Dividend period:

The dividend period for the Term Share Certificates and IRA Term Share Certificates is the calendar month. For example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the year is January 1 and the ending date of such dividend period is January 31. All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date follows the ending date of a dividend periods, and for the example above is January 31.

Effect of closing an account:

If you close your account before dividends are paid, you will receive the accrued dividends prior to the withdrawal penalty being calculated.

Accrual of dividends on noncash deposits:

Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (e.g., checks) to your account. However, additions to your account are subject to the transaction limitations set forth in these disclosures.

Withdrawal of dividends prior to maturity:

The annual percentage yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain in the account until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.

Automatic renewal:

Your account will automatically renew at maturity. You may prevent renewal if you withdraw the funds in the account at maturity (or within the grace period mentioned below, if any) or we receive written or telephone notice from you within the grace period mentioned below, if any. We can prevent renewal if we mail notice to you at least 30 calendar days before maturity. If either you or we prevent renewal, your funds will be placed in your Primary Share Savings account.  Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date. However, renewed Step Rate Certificates and renewed Step Rate IRA Certificates will not have the step rate option. The dividend rate will be the same we offer on new term share accounts on the maturity date, which have the same term, minimum balance (if any) and other features as the original term share certificate account. You will have a grace period of ten calendar days after maturity to withdraw the funds without being charged an early withdrawal penalty.

Other terms and conditions:

Term share certificates may not be pledged, assigned, or negotiated to any person other than the credit union. Any owner may redeem or pledge a non-IRA Certificate as collateral for a credit union loan or loans without the consent of the other owners.

 

 

 

 

Common Features

 

Bylaw requirements:

You must complete payment of one share in your Primary Share Savings account as a condition of admission to membership.  The par value of one share in the Dallas Telco Federal Credit Union is $25.00. The $25.00 membership share is not available for withdrawal until the account is closed and membership is terminated. For all accounts except share draft accounts, the credit union reserves the right to require a member intending to make a withdrawal to give written notice of such intent up to 60 days before such withdrawal.

Balance computation method:

For all dividend-bearing accounts, dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. 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.

Transactions for which an overdraft fee may be imposed:

An overdraft fee may be imposed for overdrafts created by Checks, In-person Withdrawals, ATM Withdrawals, or by other electronic means, as applicable.

Fees:

For a complete disclosure of account fees, please refer to our Truth in Savings Fee Schedule which accompanies these account disclosures.

National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund:

Member accounts in the Dallas Telco Federal Credit Union are federally insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
