DEFINITIONS:
For purposes of this Disclosure, the following definitions apply:

Cashier's check means any check which is subject to the following:

  • The check is drawn on a depository institution.
  • The check is signed by an officer or authorized employee of the depository institution.
  • The check is a direct obligation of the depository institution.
Certified check means any check with respect to which a depository institution certifies the following:
  • The signature on the check is genuine.
  • The depository institution has set aside funds that are equal to the amount of the check and will be used only to pay that check.
Item and Instrument means a check, negotiable order of withdrawal, warrant or money order.

Official Bank check
means any check issued by a depository institution and drawn on another depository institution.

Local check means any check drawn on a depository institution located within the same Federal Reserve District as that of the branch where the deposit is being made. "Local paying bank" is defined as a paying bank to which a check is sent for forward collection located in the same check-processing region as the branch or proprietary ATM of the depository bank. A bank may rely on the routing number on a check in identifying a local check provided that it sends the check for payment or collection based on that routing number; consequently, a person can determine which checks are local by reference to the routing number.

Non-local check means any check drawn on a depository institution located outside of the Federal Reserve District as that of the branch where the deposit is being made.

Personal check means any check drawn on the account of a natural person.

First endorsed means any check endorsed and being deposited by the first payee.

Third party
means any check payable to and being deposited by someone other than the first payee.

Generally, the Credit Union makes the following types of deposits made in person available on the same day of deposit:
Cash; Wire Transfers; first endorsed Cashier's checks; Certified checks; Sponsor related Corporation Payroll checks; Federal, State, and Local Government checks; Official Bank checks; Postal Money Orders; Traveler's cheques; checks drawn on the Credit Union; all Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) items. First endorsed local or non-local checks have $2,500 made available on the same day of deposit. The funds remaining from local checks and non-local checks will be available on the second and fifth Business Day following the day of deposit respectively.

Deposits made at a Quorum Federal Credit Union ATM or Kiosk will have the first $2,500 made available on the same day of deposit. A United States Treasury check deposited at an ATM or Kiosk greater than $2,500 will be made available the next Business Day. Any other deposits greater than $2,500 will be made available on the second Business Day following the day of deposit.

Checks cashed by Credit Union members drawn on another bank may have the availability withheld of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in the member’s account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check the Credit Union cashed would have been available if deposited.

Even after the Credit Union has made funds available and those funds have been withdrawn, the member is responsible for checks deposited that are returned unpaid and for any other problems involving the deposit.

Funds deposited by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

  • The account is considered a New Membership account (see Special Rules for New Members).
  • The Credit Union believes a check deposited will not be paid.
  • The re-deposit of a check that has been returned unpaid.
  • The account has been overdrawn six (6) or more separate or consecutive Business Days within six (6) months.
  • Checks deposited total more than $5,000 on any one day.
  • Deposits made at a Quorum Federal Credit Union ATM (Automatic Teller Machine), and/or Kiosk on a non-Business Day will not be processed until the next Business Day.
  • An emergency condition exists.

The Credit Union will notify the member by mail or email if there is a delay in the ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and when the funds will be available.

Special Rules For New Members:
In some cases the Credit Union will accept initial funding of an account(s) by Electronic Transfer (ACH) and/or Credit/Debit card. The Credit Union will collect these funds by originating, through a third-party service provider. Upon receipt, these funds will be made available.

For the first thirty (30) calendar days after a new membership account has been established, the policy for same day availability does not apply; the following rules do apply:

  • All cash, first endorsed Cashier's checks; Certified checks; Sponsor related Corporation Payroll checks; Federal, State, and Local Government checks; Official Bank checks; Postal Money Orders; Traveler's cheques; checks drawn on the Credit Union that are made in person to a Credit Union employee are available on the day of deposit.
  • All wire transfers and EFT items (Direct Deposit) are available on the day of deposit.
  • For all other deposits, the first $100 will be available immediately (daily limit, not per deposit), and the remainder will be held until the ninth Business Day after the day of deposit.
Special Rules For Credit Union Shared Service Centers:
  • Checks deposited at a Credit Union Shared Service Center will be held in accordance with that location's check hold policy. Due to the nationwide coverage, the Credit Union cannot govern the way in which checks are handled in different states and countries.
  • Individual Check Clearing Policies for Credit Union Shared Service Centers are available at each location.
Special Rules For Foreign Items/Collection Items:
Certain items, such as insurance drafts, dealer drafts or checks drawn on a foreign bank, will be handled as a collection item. When an item submitted for collection is finally and irrevocably paid, the account will be credited. If certain other deposited items cannot be processed through the normal check processing system, the Credit Union, as an agent, may send them for collection.

Collection items include: damaged or mutilated items; checks with provisional instructions or restrictive endorsements; checks drawn on foreign banks and not payable through a U.S. bank; checks not payable in U.S. dollars; and items not properly encoded with MICR numbers located at the bottom of the check.

Collection items cannot be made available until the Credit Union receives U.S. funds. Collection items are subject to the Credit Union's Fee Schedule. Payment of foreign currency items may be subject to governmental restrictions and could be delayed in collection. The actual currency conversion rate cannot be quoted or specified in advance.

B. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND SPECIFIC ACCOUNT CONDITIONS

The frequency and conditions upon which dividends are paid are in accordance with Bylaws of this Credit Union and are paid as permitted by the Federal Credit Union Act and Regulations.

The Credit Union uses the daily balance method to calculate dividends. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day that the minimum required balance, if applicable, is met. Dividends accrue on a 365-day basis and begin as of the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal and are accrued daily, compounded and posted monthly on all account types as outlined below. Paid dividends remaining on deposit will earn dividends at the same rate on the same terms. Any accrued dividends not yet posted will be forfeited if any account is closed. Federal Law prohibits the guarantee of dividends since dividends are based on available earnings at the end of the dividend period.

1. SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

All Credit Union savings accounts are variable rate accounts, meaning the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change after the account is opened. The dividend rates are subject to change daily and are established by the Credit Union’s Management.

Transaction Restrictions:
To meet Federally mandated restrictions, the following withdrawal and transfer limitations will apply to transactions you perform on any of your savings accounts: Basic Savings, Money Management, Mortgage Payment and Name-Your-Own Savings account:

2. TERM ACCOUNTS

Maturity: All term accounts will automatically renew at maturity for the same period as the original term unless the funds are withdrawn at maturity.

The Credit Union will send out notifications at least thirty (30) days before the maturity date and will offer a seven-day grace period beginning on the date of maturity, in order to make changes to the term account.

Withdrawals: The principal invested in any term account may not be withdrawn until maturity. If the Credit Union allows a withdrawal of principal prior to maturity, there will be a penalty for any amount withdrawn (refer to the Credit Union Fee Schedule). If the withdrawal causes the principal to fall below the minimum balance required, the term account will be closed and the member will receive the balance less the appropriate penalty (minimum of $20). There is no penalty when the withdrawal follows the death of the primary owner of the account.

If overdrafts are to be covered by a transfer of funds from any of the member’s other Credit Union accounts, such transfer(s) will generally be made only if there are sufficient funds on deposit at the time of transfer. The member understands that for each overdraft or transfer, the accounts will be assessed a fee as set forth in the Credit Union Fee Schedule.

Award suppliers have agreed that, to the best of their ability, merchandise featured in this Program will be available in sufficient quantities to meet expected demand. However, there may be instances in which an item may not be available, in which case the Program reserves the right to substitute a similar item of equal value or withdraw the offer for that product. If it is not replaced you will be advised to make an alternate selection.

G. Courtesy Pay Disclosure

Terms And Conditions Of Courtesy Pay:

Courtesy Pay is a service whereby the Credit Union may honor and pay checks, Electronic Transfers (ACH) or items by other electronic means as designated by the Credit Union drawn against insufficient funds so that these items presented against a membership account are not returned unpaid. A qualifying membership account must be open for thirty (30) days in order to be eligible for this service. Paper or online notices will be sent for each occurrence when the items are paid. Courtesy Pay will only be applied at the Credit Union’s discretion and when there are insufficient funds in a checking account (including any loan, line-of-credit or linked accounts) to cover the negative balance.

The Credit Union's Courtesy Pay service is a non-contractual courtesy and is discretionary. It is not an obligation of the Credit Union and the Credit Union may refuse to provide the service on any checking account at any time. There is no contractual right to Courtesy Pay and payment of an item is not guaranteed under the Courtesy Pay service. Courtesy Pay may provide certain account-holders in "good-standing", as determined by the Credit Union in its sole discretion, with the ability to overdraw their personal checking account up to an amount determined by the Credit Union. The amount that an account may be overdrawn shall be in all cases subject to the Credit Union’s discretion. However, as a general guide, and not by way of any contractual agreement, the categories of Courtesy Pay to consider are:

  • Members without direct deposit may have up to a $500 limit
  • Members with direct deposit may have up to a $1,000 limit
  • Members with an aggregate balance of $2,500 or more may have up to a $1,000 limit

In the event that the Credit Union elects to extend Courtesy Pay, the account must be brought back to a positive balance, (i.e., greater than zero (0)), within thirty (30) calendar days. Failure to do so will affect future Courtesy Pay privileges and could result in account closure.

The Credit Union has the right pursuant to its statutory lien and can charge against any balance in any accounts, including jointly owned accounts, to include any otherwise statutorily protected funds that may not otherwise be available by legal process, to liquidate any Credit Union indebtedness, owed by the member or any person listed as a joint owner on the member's accounts with the Credit Union, including a deceased joint owner. The Credit Union may take such action without further notice to the member or any joint owner. Consent for the Credit Union to apply funds that have a statutory protection to pay any such indebtedness may be withdrawn by notifying the Credit Union in writing. If consent is withdrawn, the Credit Union may in its sole discretion terminate any and all services the member has with the Credit Union.

The Credit Union is not obligated to pay any item presented for payment if the account does not contain sufficient collected funds. However, the Credit Union may pay such an item as a non-contractual courtesy if the account is maintained in good standing, which is at the Credit Union’s discretion and may include such things as:

  • Making regular deposits sufficient to cover transactions;
  • Bringing the account to a positive balance at least once every thirty (30) days or less;
  • Not causing the Credit Union a loss;
  • Not having any delinquent obligations;
  • No legal orders, garnishments, executions, levies, or information subpoenas including bankruptcy notices;
  • Not engaging in suspicious or abusive activity; and,
  • Maintaining at least $25 in the Basic Savings account.

Generally, the Credit Union will not pay an overdraft in excess of $1,000. These limits generally include Paid NSF Fees. When multiple transactions are presented for payment, items will be paid in the amount in the order of lowest to highest dollar amount.

BACK TO TOP

Limitations:
This service is available, at the Credit Union’s discretion on all checking accounts in good standing, with the exception of Checkless Checking and Club/Association accounts. The Credit Union may limit the number of accounts per account holder or per household. The Credit Union reserves the right to not approve any overdrafts against any account until the account can be verified as being maintained in good standing. The Credit Union reserves the right to change or terminate Courtesy Pay program at any time without any advance notice.

Account Fees:
For each item paid using Courtesy Pay, the account will be charged a Paid Insufficient Funds Fee (Paid NSF Fee) per item as set forth in the Credit Union Fee Schedule. If the Credit Union chooses not to pay checks, electronic transfers, or items by other electronic means, the account will be subject to an Insufficient Funds (NSF) or Negative Balance fee as published in the Credit Union Fee Schedule. Your periodic statement will separately disclose the total fees charged on your account for paying overdrafts and returning items unpaid for the statement period and for the calendar year-to-date.

Additional Information:
Courtesy Pay service does not require member enrollment. By request, an account can be removed from future Courtesy Pay services by accessing the "Opt Out" form online through Online Banking or by calling Member Service at (800) 874 5544 or (914) 641 3700.

Metavante (Formerly M&I) is the third-party bill payment service provider who Quorum FCU has contracted to provide the Payment Service to its members. Metavante will be processing all bill payments. Quorum FCU, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to change Online Banking Bill Payment Service providers.

2. Enrollment Request for the Online Banking Bill Payment Service

Terms:
Payee means the vendor, person or entity to which you wish a bill payment to be directed.

Payment Instructions means the information provided by you to the Service for a bill payment to be made to your Payee (e.g., Payee name, account number, payment amount, payment date, etc.).

Payment Account means your Checking Account and, in the instance of non-sufficient funds and/or an overdrawn account, any applicable share account or available balance on line-of-credit accounts at Quorum FCU, from which all bill payments may be made and/or such funds collected. Multiple checking accounts may be established as Payment Accounts. Contact Quorum FCU for more information.

3. Payments and Transfers From My Payment Account May be Processed in Three Different
Ways:

  • Today: If you designate a bill payment as a "Today" transaction, the processing date will be the same Business Day if requested prior to 8:00 p.m. Sufficient available funds must be available at the time you request the transaction. "Today" payments may not be canceled for any reason once you have ended an Online Banking session. All “Today” transactions are immediately deducted from your Payment Account.
  • Future: If you designate a payment as a "Future" transaction, you may request that the transaction be made on a future date that you may designate up to 365 days in advance. The processing date will be the effective (processing) date you entered. You will not be able to establish payments with an effective date that is not a Business Day. Sufficient and available funds must be available by midnight of the night before the processing date, but will be deducted from your Payment Account on the actual processing date. "Future" transactions may be canceled or changed until 8:00 p.m. CST of the night before the processing date through the Online Banking Bill Payment Service.
  • Recurring: If you designate a payment as a "Recurring" transaction, you may request that the transaction be made in the same amount to the same merchant or account on a specified regular, periodic basis (i.e., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.). You will designate a "start" and "end" date. The processing date will be the effective (processing) date you entered, or the next Business Day should the effective date fall on a weekend or holiday. Sufficient and available funds must be available by midnight of the night before the processing date, but will be deducted from your Payment Account on the actual processing date. "Recurring" transactions may be canceled or changed until 8:00 p.m. of the night before the processing date through Online Banking Bill Payment Service. You may not establish multiple recurring payments to the same Payee.

4. Stopping or Modifying Online Banking Bill Payment Authorized Payments:
Payments designated as "Today" transactions cannot be stopped, canceled, or changed once your Online Banking session is terminated. Stop Payments are only applicable to payments made by check that have not cleared. In order to request a check Stop Payment on a transaction processed through the Service, you must contact Quorum FCU at (800) 874-5544 or (914) 641-3700. If the Stop Payment can be processed, credit to your Payment Account will be processed within two (2) or three (3) Business Days from the Stop Payment request date. You are responsible for completing any modifications to payments, payees, etc. via the Service.

BACK TO TOP

5. Bill Payments:
All payments you make through the Service will be deducted from your designated Payment Account. Any payment you wish to make through the Service must be payable in U.S. Dollars. Each Payee must appear on the Payee list you create with Quorum FCU and the account you are paying must be in your name.

You must allow sufficient time for the Payee to receive and process the payment before the payment due date (the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with Payee, not taking into account any grace period provided by the Payee). You will assume full responsibility for all late fees, finance charges, or other actions taken or imposed by Payee.

IMPORTANT: Payments may take up to ten (10) days to reach the Payee, as they are sent either electronically or by check. Quorum FCU is not liable for any service or late charges levied against you.

Quorum FCU is responsible only for exercising ordinary care in making payments upon your authorization and for mailing or sending a payment to the designated merchant. Quorum FCU is not liable for any damages you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your Payment Account to make the payment on the scheduled Payment Date, if the estimated time to allow for delivery to the Payee is inaccurate, or due to delays in mail delivery, changes of merchant address or account number, the failure of any merchant to account correctly for the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstance beyond the control of Quorum FCU.

To use the Service, you must keep Quorum FCU aware of changes in your contact information (e.g., address, telephone numbers and e-mail address). A written notice will be sent to you of transactions Quorum FCU is unable to process because of insufficient or unavailable funds or any other return reason. In addition, an e-mail notice will also be sent to you. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment, or rescheduling the payment through the Online Banking Bill Payment Service. Returned payments will be canceled and will prevent you from making more payments until resolved. Generally, the Service is reinstated five (5) Business Days after payment is received from a previously returned payment.

You authorize Quorum FCU, and any third party acting on behalf of Quorum FCU, to choose the most effective method to process your payments. You will receive a transaction confirmation number for each properly instructed payment. In addition to all other limitations of liability set forth herein, Quorum FCU shall not be liable for any failure to make a payment if you do not receive a confirmation number.

Quorum FCU will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, Quorum FCU shall incur no liability if it is unable to complete any payments initiated by you through the Service because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  • If, through no fault of ours, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the payment or transfer, or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
  • The bill payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  • The Payee mishandles or delays a payment sent through the Service;
  • You have not provided the Service with the correct names, phone numbers, or account information for those persons or entities to whom you wish to direct payment;
  • Circumstances beyond Quorum FCU's control such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force prevent the proper execution of the transaction and Quorum FCU has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances;
  • Other exceptions set forth in this Agreement.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions to the Service performance obligations are applicable, and provided you have complied with all these terms and conditions, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a person or entity which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, Quorum FCU shall be responsible for your losses and damages. Payment will be made to your Payee either electronically via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or by check. The method of payment depends upon the processing method that can be accommodated by the Payee or Metavante (e.g., some Payees are unable to accept electronic payments). You will be notified to allow three (3) or five (5) Business Days for payment processing at the time payments are established. Payments made through the Service will appear on periodic statements.

If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the first statement reflecting an unauthorized transfer(s) or payment(s) was mailed to you, you may not be refunded any money you lost after the sixty (60) days, provided that we can prove we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in a timely manner.
