Understanding the terms and agreement of your Credit Union account is an important
responsibility. You have a right to be informed of the facts that affect your account's
performance and service. Deposit accounts include Regular Share accounts, Individual
Retirement Share accounts (IRA), Share Term Certificate accounts, ShareDraft Checking
accounts and Money Market/Super Saver Share accounts. The Credit Union makes a special
effort to disclose the conditions and rules that govern your deposits.
This page explains three important subjects of Credit Union service...
Funds Availability, Truth-in-Savings and Service Fees
Funds Availability - Deposits made to a Credit Union account may not be available
immediately. The availability of some deposits may be delayed because of an out-of-state
check, non-sufficient funds or other circumstances. The funds availability disclosure lists
HFCU policy and rules for handling deposits.
Truth-in-Savings - The advertisement of financial services can be misleading and confusing.
Some financial ads only disclose a partial list of terms and fail to list all the features of a
service. The Truth-in-Savings disclosure provides a complete list of Credit Union terms and
fees for depository accounts.
Service Fees - For your information, included is a complete list of service charges and
prices for Credit Union services. This list includes special services, as well as
complementary services.

Account Agreement
Account Ownership
When choosing the right share account, you must not only sort through the different
options of interest rates, terms and insurance requirements, you must also make sure that
the proper person(s) have access to the funds and are accountable for taxes and other
responsibilities. Hanover Federal Credit Union offers several types of options for
ownership and management of your deposits. Whether it's a Share account, Share Term
Certificate or Money Market Share account, we can help you select a plan best suited for
your needs. The following is a description of the various types of ownership formats
available on HFCU deposit accounts.
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS
An individual account is established and maintained in the name of one individual
member of the Credit Union. That member is the sole owner of all deposits and
dividends/interest in the account. Likewise, all dividends/interest must be reported as
taxable income by the member. In the event of death, with proper documentation, the
funds are released to the estate of the individual.
JOINT ACCOUNTS
A joint account is owned by joint members as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.
Any joint member may make withdrawals solely on his/her own signature and presentation
of proper identification.
The Credit Union reports dividends/interest earned to the federal and state government
from a joint account under the first name and social security number listed on the
account. Since the account is jointly owned dividends/interest earned may be reported on
the tax return under either of the accountholder's name and social security number.
Upon the death of a joint member, the account belongs to the survivor(s). However, claims
may be filed against the surviving joint owner(s).
TRUSTEE ACCOUNT
The Trustee account is a revocable trust agreement with a designated beneficiary who
receives the funds in the account upon the death of the accountholder. The trustee
(accountholder) retains control of the funds for all purposes. The beneficiary can not make
deposits or withdrawals on the account. Because of this, the trustee is responsible for
reporting all dividends/interest for tax purposes and the trustee's name and social security
number is used for tax reporting. Joint trustees are not allowed. The basic reason for
establishing a trustee account is to designate a particular person to whom all funds are
payable in the event of the trustee's death. (Joint beneficiaries are not allowed.) In the
event of the trustee's death, the funds in the account are released to the beneficiary.
UNIFORM TRANSFER TO MINORS (UTTMA) ACCOUNT
A UTTMA is an irrevocable gift to a minor. A minor is a person who has not reached the
age of 21 years. The funds in a UTTMA are owned by and in the name and social security
number of the minor. However, an adult custodian acts on behalf of the minor and may or
may not be the donor. There may be only one custodian and one minor on each account.
The funds are not subject to attachment or legal proceeding in which the donor or
custodian is named personally as defendant. Dividends/interest on the account are
taxable income to the minor child, not the donor or custodian. Any withdrawals from the
account must be used for the benefit of the minor.
When the minor reaches the age of 21, the funds do not automatically become accessible
to the minor. The custodian is required to relinquish the funds when the young adult
reaches age 21. If the young adult is eligible for membership in the Credit Union, the
account can be retitled in the young adult's name.
In the event of the minor's death, the funds are treated like an individual account and go to
the estate of the minor.
If the custodian dies, a Successor Custodian should be appointed by the minor's legal
guardian.
PERSONAL AGENCY ACCOUNT
NC General Statutes provide a member (or joint members) with the right to appoint
another person to act as agent for the member in depositing and withdrawing funds from
the member's account. The funds belong to the member(s) and upon a member's death,
funds will be disbursed under the guidelines of an individual or joint account. The
personal agent does not have any claim to the funds in the account.
REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST ACCOUNT
HFCU allows accounts to be owned/titled in the name of a Revocable Living Trust. There
are Non-Revocable Living Trusts and Revocable Living Trusts. HFCU will only accept
deposits owned by a Revocable Living Trust.
A living trust is a legal document that gives instructions on how property will pass to
survivors. While living, the grantor (the person requesting the Living Trust agreement)
may transfer ownership of property to the trust, yet maintain control.
Once a Revocable Living Trust is established, the Trustee has control of the assets/funds.
A Revocable Living Trust includes instructions concerning what the Trustee can do with
the assets (i.e., invest, give to the Grantor for living expenses, name a successor Trustee if
the original Trustee dies, what to do with the funds if the Grantor dies).
When the Grantor of a Revocable Living Trust dies, the assets in the Revocable Living
Trust are not part of the Grantor's estate and are not subject to probate.
FUNDS AVAILABILITY
HFCU's policy is to make funds from member deposits available on the same business day a
deposit is received. At that time funds can be withdrawn and HFCU will use the funds to pay
checks that have been written.
For determining the availability of funds from a deposit, every day is a business day, except
Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays. A deposit made before 5:00 p.m. on a business day
that HFCU is open is considered to be made on the day of the deposit. However, a deposit
made after 5:00 p.m to a night depository or on a day HFCU is not open is considered to be made on the
next business day HFCU is open.
LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY
In some cases, HFCU will not make all of the funds deposited by check available on the same
business day of a deposit. Depending on the type of check deposited, funds may not be
available until up to the 5th business day after the day of a deposit. However, the first $100 of
the d.eposit will be available on the same business day.
If HFCU does not make all funds from a deposit available on the same business day, the
member will be notified by the next business day after the deposit. A date will be provided as
to when funds will be available. If a deposit is not made directly to an HFCU employee or the
Credit Union decides to take this action after the member has left the premises, HFCU will
mail a notice by the day after a deposit is received.
In addition, funds deposited by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following
circumstances:
HFCU may be unable to verify that a check will be paid.
There may be erasures or discrepancies on a check.
A check you deposit was previously returned unpaid.
The member has been overdrawn on the account
repeatedly in the last six months.
Checks deposited total more than $5,000 in one day.
The Credit Union may be notified that a check previously
deposited is being returned unpaid.
There may be an emergency such as failure of
communications or computer equipment.
HFCU will notify the member if the ability to withdraw funds for any reason is delayed and
when the funds will be available (generally no later than the 5th business day after a
deposit).
SPECIAL RULES
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS - CHECK CASHING
If HFCU cashes a check drawn on another financial institution, the availability of a
corresponding amount of funds already in any of the member's Credit Union accounts may
be withheld. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check cashed would
have been available, if the check had been deposited. For example: If HFCU cashes a $100
check for a member, $100 of funds already in the member's account may not be available
until up to the 5th business day after the day HFCU cashed the check. The member will be
advised of this hold by the next business day after the check is cashed.
HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS - OTHER ACCOUNTS
If HFCU accepts for deposit a check drawn on another financial institution, HFCU may
make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay the
availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds the member has on deposit in
another account with the Credit Union. The funds in the other account would then be
available for withdrawal at the time funds from the check would have been available in
the deposit account. The member will be advised of this hold by the next business day
after HFCU receives the deposit.
DEPOSITS AND TRANSFERS AT AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES
Funds from any deposit (cash or checks) made at an HFCU Automated Teller Machine
(ATM) may be available on the next business day following deposit. (currently unavailable)
ATMs owned by the Credit Union are designated by HFCU logo.
Transferred funds made at ATMs not owned or operated by the Credit Union
may not be available until the Second business day after the day of the transfer.
TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURE
Examining financial services can be confusing. For this reason, HFCU feels that members
are entitled to know exactly how their Credit Union Share Accounts work. Therefore, we
are providing the following information on our share accounts, including Regular Share accounts,
Individual Retirement Share accounts (IRA), Club accounts (interest earning), Share Draft accounts
(Checking), Share Term Certificates and Money Market Share accounts. These disclosures apply to all
types of ownerships of these accounts including Individual, Joint with Right of Survivorship, Trustee
(Payable upon Death), Revocable Living Trusts, and Uniform Transfer to Minors Act accounts. The type
of ownership of the account is designated by the member at the time the account is opened.
COMPOUNDING, CREDITING AND DIVIDEND ACCRUAL
Dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly at statement cycle date
(approximately every 30 days) for Share Draft Checking and Money Market Share accounts.
Statement cycle drop dates are usually the first business day of each new month.
The beginning date of each dividend cycle period is the first day following the
last day of the previous statement period. The ending date of each dividend cycle period is
the last day of the statement. For example: If the ending date of the previous statement
was March 31st, then the first day of the next cycle will be April 1st. The last date of the
cycle will be approximately 30 days later or April 30th.
Dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly on the first
business day of the quarter for Regular Share accounts and Individual Retirement Share
accounts (IRA) . The first dividend date for each cycle is the first day of the month and
the final day is the last day of the month.
Interest may or may not compounded on Share Term Certificates (STC). Interest is accrued a simple daily
interest. Interest is paid monthly by transfer into another deposit account on all term certificates
purchase before September 31,1998 and for all terms purchased on or after that date unless
specifically requested by the accountholder for a 3 or 24 month term to be paid monthly.
Future dividends on transferred funds will be determined based on the existing rate of the
deposit account into which the funds were transferred. Future interest on the renewed STC
will be based on the existing rate for that term at the time of renewal. There is a 10 day
grace period after the renewal day during which an automatically renewed STC may be
cancelled without penalty. If the accountholder chooses to cancel the STC during that
period, the STC will earn interest for the days from the renewal until the cancellation at
the existing regular share account rate.
Dividends begin to accrue on the business day following the date of receipt for a cash or
non-cash deposit at our branch location or through the mail. Dividends begin to accrue on
the business day of receipt for cash or non-cash funds received electronically (such as
through an ATM, Automated Clearing House (ACH) Direct Deposit or Payroll Deduction).
CALCULATION METHOD
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.
EFFECT OF CLOSING
Accrued but unpaid dividends will be paid if the account is closed prior to dividend
crediting except for Share Term Certificates which are subject to early withdrawal
penalties. (See Fixed Rate Accounts.)
Minimum Balance Requirements
There is a $100 minimum balance requirement to earn dividends on Regular Shares,
Individual Retirement accounts and $100 on Share Draft Checking accounts.
The minimum balance to earn dividends on Share Term Certificates is $500 and a balance of $1000.00 or
More in a Money Market Share account. There is a $100 minimum balance required to avoid a fee on
Share Draft Checking accounts. The minimum balance to avoid a service charge for
Money Market/Super saver is $1000. The minimum balance to avoid a
monthly service charge fee on Regular Shares, IRA and Club accounts is $25.
FIXED RATE ACCOUNTS
Share Term Certificates are fixed rate accounts (the rate will not change during the term of
the Certificate). Available rates for Certificates are subject to change on Tuesday's each week
depending on market conditions. The term of the certificate will be selected by the accountholder
at the time the account is opened. Available terms are 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48 and 60
months. After the Certificate is opened, no additional deposits may be made to the account.
No partial withdrawals may be made from a Share Term Certificate.
If the principal is withdrawn before the maturity date, an early withdrawal penalty will be
charged. The penalty on a 91 day (3mo) certificate will be equal to 1 mo or 30 days interest, whichever is
less. On all other certificates the penalty will be 90 days' interest on the Certificate amount or the actual
interest earned, whichever is less.
All certificates purchased prior to October 1, 1998, will automatically transfer into another
deposit account at maturity, which is the indicated number of months from the issue date.
Certificates purchased on or after this date 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. Fourteen
days prior to the maturity/renewal date an appropriate notice will be sent to the
accountholder indicating the upcoming option. Future dividends/interest earned on
matured funds will be determined based on the existing rate of the type of deposit
account. Future earnings on renewed funds will be at the then existing rate offered for that
term STC.
Variable Rate Accounts
Regular Share accounts, IRA, Club accounts, Share Draft Checking and Money
Market Share accounts are variable rate accounts. The rate is subject to change daily at
the discretion of the Board of Directors.
NATURE OF DIVIDENDS
Dividends/interest are paid from the available earnings after any required transfers to
reserves.
TRANSACTION LIMITATION
Regular Share accounts and Money Market Share accounts are limited to no more than six
(6) monthly, preauthorized or automatic transfers per account. No checks can be written
against these accounts. No automated clearing house (ACH) debits are allowed on these
accounts.
RATES
Dividend rates, interest rates and corresponding annual percentage yields are disclosed in
the Dividend rate sheet which may be obtained at our branch office. In addition, you may

FEDERAL WIRE TRANSFERS AND ACH TRANSACTIONS
The following is provided as a requirement of Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code.
If a member sends or receives a wire transfer, the Federal Reserve Bank's FEDWIRE
transfer system may be used. Regulation J is the law governing those transfers. If a
member gives the Credit Union a payment order which identifies the beneficiary (recipient
of the funds) by both name and identifying account number, payment may be made by
the beneficiary's bank on the basis of the identifying or bank account number, even if the
number identifies a person different than the named beneficiary. If a member gives the
Credit Union a payment order which identifies an intermediary or beneficiary's bank by
both name and an identifying number, a receiving bank may rely on the number as the
proper identification even if it identifies a different bank than the named bank. 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 a member
credit for ACH payments it receives for the member before it receives final settlement of
the funds transfer from the originating financial institution. The member is hereby notified
and agrees that if the Credit Union does not receive such final settlement, it is entitled to a
refund from the member of the amount credited to the member 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.
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER
A member may use an HFCU ATM card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to
authorize transactions on deposit and credit accounts at qualified Automated Teller
Machines (ATM) or point-of-sale (POS) terminals. A user name and password will allow a member to
Access account information perform transfers between accounts via the Internet. A member may also use
preauthorized electronic funds transfers through the ACH system to make deposits to accounts or to pay
bills or make payments from a Share Draft Checking account. All terms in the disclosures concerning the
use of an HFCU ATM card that are mailed with the card or provided electronically are agreed to by the
cardholder.
TAX IDENTIFICATION CERTIFICATION
Under penalties of perjury, each depositor certifies the taxpayer identification number
listed on the depositor's account is correct for the depositor and that the depositor is not
subject to backup withholding either because the depositor has not been notified that the
depositor is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or
dividend, or the Internal Revenue Service has notified the depositor that the depositor is
no longer subject to backup withholding. The Internal Revenue Service does not require
your consent to any provisions of this document other than the certifications required to
avoid back-up withholding.
DISCLOSURES, AGREEMENTS, RULES AND REGULATIONS
These disclosures, agreements, roles and regulations may be added to, rescinded, altered
or amended by the Credit Union at any time without notice to the depositor. Upon signing
of an account services form or card, depositor hereby assents and agrees to these rules
and regulations and their subsequent changes or amendments for this account or
subsequent accounts opened.
