Purpose and Expected Use of Account

High Yield Checking [HYC]– A variable rate, share draft account with no minimum balance that provides accountholders with dividends when they meet the minimum qualifications associated with their HYC account during each monthly qualification period. Accountholders must be at least 18 years of age to open a HYC account with a limit of one account per member.
Purpose and Expected Use of Account
This account is intended to be the accountholder’s primary checking account in which payroll transactions and day-to-day spending activities are posted and settled.
Based on the spending activities mentioned above, we expect the account to be used frequently throughout each month, with transactions reflecting a wide range of amounts. Small transactions made on the same day at a single merchant, or multiple transactions conducted within a short period, especially near the end of a monthly qualification cycle, are not considered normal day-to-day spending behavior. Transactions that appear to be made solely to qualify for account rewards may be deemed inappropriate and may not count towards earning the account’s rewards.
The Credit Union reserves the right to determine if the account is being maintained for purposes other than the expected day-to-day primary use. Accountholders who persist in conducting transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet the monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different checking account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account if the account does not have consistent active use over six consecutive statement cycles. We have the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. Our decision to close the account will not impact your existing obligations with us including any obligation to pay fees or charges incurred prior to termination. No deposits will be accepted, and no checks will be paid after the account is closed. If the account is closed, you will forfeit any rewards that have not yet been credited to your account and a check for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to the accountholder at the address indicated in our current records. Upon termination of your HYC Account, any optional add-on products/services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time. If, for whatever reason the Credit Union closes the HYC Account portion of your account, your account will automatically be converted to a standalone checking or savings account and only those terms and conditions noted within the Credit Union’s Truth in Savings and Membership and Account Agreement and Disclosure will apply. This account is not to be used for commercial purposes.

The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal balance in your account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The period we use is the monthly Statement Cycle.
