TERMS, CONDITIONS,
ACCOUNT DISCOLSURES AND AGREEMENTS
Welcome to XCEL Federal Credit Union:
This brochure contains the rules that govern your accounts(s) with us. Please read this brochure carefully. If you sign your signature to an account agreement or continue to have an account with us, you agree to these rules, our bylaws, and any bylaw amendments. You agree to pay the fees we charge, as they appear in a separate brochure that may change from time to time, and you give us the right to collect any fees, as earned, directly from your account balance. You will receive a separate schedule of rates, qualifying balance, and fees.
This Agreement is subject to applicable federal laws, laws
of the state of
The purpose of this disclosure is to:
(1) Summarize the existing rules applicable to the more common transactions;
(2) Establish rules to govern transactions or events which the law does not regulate;
(3) Establish rules for certain events or transactions which the law already regulates by permits variation by agreement; and
(4) Provide you with our funds availability, electronic fund transfers and/or truth-in-savings policy disclosures and abandoned property rules and regulations.
We may permit some variations from this standard agreement, but any such variations must be agreed to in writing either on our signature card for the account or in some other written form.
As used in this brochure, the words “we”, “our”, and “us” mean the XCEL Federal Credit Union (XCEL), and the words “you” and “your” mean the owner(s) of this account and anyone signing in a representative capacity (e.g.: a grantee of a power of attorney) appointed by or on behalf of the owner(s) to sign on the account.
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 schedule of charges that we impose. You authorize us to deduct these charges as accrued directly from the account balance. You also agree to pay additional reasonable charges we may impose for services you request which are not covered by this agreement. Each of you also agrees to be jointly and individually liable for any account deficit resulting from charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another authorized to withdraw from this account, and our costs to collect the deficit including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys’ fees. You agree that at our option we may suspend your membership rights if you violate the terms of this agreement.
Deposits: Any items, other than cash, accepted for deposit (including items drawn “on us”) will be given provisional credit only until collection is final (and actual credit for deposits of, or payable in, foreign currency will be at the exchange rate in effect on final collection in U.S. dollars). Any collection fees will be collected from your account. We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository until we actually record them. All transactions received on a day in which we are not open for business, will be treated and recorded as if initiated on the next following business day that we are open. Unless otherwise agreed, you waive any right to receive any original item after it is paid.
Dividends: We are prohibited by law from guaranteeing the payment of dividends, or that dividends we do pay will be at the published (anticipated) rate. We must base our dividend payments to you based upon earnings available for distribution at the end of a dividend period.
Withdrawals: Unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, any one of you who signs in the space designated for signatures on the account signature card application, including anyone signing in a representative capacity, may withdraw or transfer all or any part of the account balance at any time on forms approved by us. Each of you (until we receive written notice to the contrary) authorizes each other person signing on the signature card to endorse any item payable to you or your order for deposit to this account or any other transaction with us. The fact that we may honor withdrawal requests, which overdraw the finally collected account balance, does not obligate us to do so, unless required by law.
Withdrawals will first be made from collected funds, and we may, unless prohibited by law or our written policy, refuse any withdrawal request against uncollected funds, even if our general practice is to the contrary. We reserve the right to require you to notify us of your intention to refuse any withdrawal or transfer request, which, is attempted by any method not specifically, permitted, which is for an amount less than any minimum withdrawal requirement, or which exceeds any frequency limitation. Even if we honor a nonconforming request, repeated abuse of the stated limitations (if any) may eventually force us to close this account and terminate your membership. We will use the date a transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the day you initiate it) to apply the frequency limitations. We reserve the right to require you to notify us of your intention to withdraw shares or deposits from this account as explained in our bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request. Withdrawals from a share certificate prior to maturity may be restricted and may be subject to penalty. See notice of early withdrawal penalties located further in this document.
Ownership of account and beneficiary designation: These rules apply to this account depending on the form of ownership and beneficiary designation, if any, specified on the account record. We reserve the right to refuse some forms of ownership on any or all accounts. Individual Account: is owned by one person. Joint Account – With Survivorship (As Joint tenants and Not as Tenants in Common): is owned by two or more persons. Deposits and any additions to the account are the property of the owners as joint tenants with right of survivorship. This means that we may release the entire account to any owner during the lifetime of all owners. We may honor withdrawal requests (including checks) from any owner during the lifetime of all owners. We may be required to release money in the account to satisfy a judgment against any owner or other valid debt incurred by any owner. We must honor withdrawal requests (including checks) from any surviving owner after the death of any owner, and may treat the account as the sole property of the surviving owner(s). Unless an owner directs us by written notice not to honor the withdrawal request (including checks) of any owner, we will not be liable for doing so. After we received such a notice, we may require written authorization from all joint owners for any further withdrawals, payments, or deliveries. Joint Account – No Survivorship (As Tenants in Common): is owned by two or more persons, but none of you intent (merely by opening the account) to create any right of survivorship in any other person. Each of you can leave his or her interest upon death to beneficiaries of his or her choosing instead of the other owner. We encourage you to agree and tell us in writing of the percentage of the deposit contributed by each of you. This information will not, however, affect the “number of signatures” necessary for withdrawal. Revocable Trust Account: If two or more of you create such an account, you own the account jointly with survivorship. Beneficiaries acquire the right of ownership only if:
(1) all persons creating the account die, and (2) the beneficiary is then living, If two or more beneficiaries are named and survive the death of all persons creating the account, such beneficiaries will own this account in equal chares, without right of survivorship. The person(s) creating this type of account reserves the right to: (1) change beneficiaries, (2) change account types, and (3) withdraw all or part of the deposit at any time. Corporate, Partnership and other Organizational Accounts: We will usually require a separate authorization form having original signatures, designating the person permitted and conditions required for withdrawal from any account in the name of a legal entity such as a partnership, corporation, or other organization. We will honor such authorization according to its terms until it is amended or terminated in writing by the governing body of such organization.
Pledges: Unless you tell us differently in writing, each owner of this account may pledge all or any part of the funds in it for any purpose. Any pledge of this account must first be satisfied before the rights of any joint account survivor or trust account beneficiary become effective. For example, if one joint tenant pledges the deposit evidenced by this agreement for a debt (i.e. used it to secure a debt) and then dies, (1) the surviving joint tenant’s rights in this account do not take effect until the debt has been satisfied and (2) the debt may be satisfied with the funds in this account.
Stop-Payments: A stop-payment order, which requires us to refrain from paying check(s), must be given in the manner required by law, be received in time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it, and must precisely identify the number, date and amount of the item, and the payee. We will honor a stop-payment request by the person who signed the particular item, and by any other person who is a designated signatory on the account, even though such other person has an equal or greater right to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item in question. A Stop Payment Order is only effective for a six month period. A release of the stop-payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop-payment.
Amendments and Termination: We may change our bylaws and any item of this agreement. If we do so we will make available such updated changes. Rules governing changes in dividend rates will be provided separately. For other changes, we will give you reasonable notice in writing or by any method permitted by law. We reserve the right to close this account if your membership in XCEL terminates. You agree to keep us informed about your current address at all times. Notice form us to any one of you is notice to all of you.
Statements: If you do not notify us of any unauthorized signature or alteration within a reasonable time after we send or make available to you your statement and items: (1) you cannot assert the unauthorized signature or alteration against us, even if you are able to show a loss due to my/our failure, and (2) you cannot assert any unauthorized signatures or alterations by the same wrongdoer on items paid by us after the reasonable time, but before we receive your notice. We lose these protections if we fail to exercise ordinary care in paying an item with an unauthorized signature or alteration, unless you do not notify us of the problem within 60 days of when we send or make available to you the statement and items. You must report any other problem (e.g., erroneous statement, missing signature, unauthorized endorsement, etc.) within this 60-day period or lose your right to assert the problem against us.
Account Transfer: This account may not be transferred or assigned without our prior written consent.
Direct Deposits: If, in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in this 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 this account or from any other account you have with us, 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.
Temporary Account Agreement: Your account agreement may indicate that it is only a temporary account agreement. If this is indicated, then each person who signs in the space designated for signatures on the signature card in our possession at the time (except as indicated to the contrary) may transact business on this account. However, we may at some time in the future restrict or prohibit further use of this account if you fail to comply with the requirements we have imposed, such as, providing us with a permanent account agreement within a reasonable time.
Restrictive Legends: We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on items you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in writing signed by an officer of XCEL. Examples of restrictive legends are “must be presented within 90 days”, or “not valid for more than $1,000.00”.
Right To Repayment Of Indebtedness (Set-Off): You each agree that we may (when permitted by law) charge against (set-off) and deduct from this account any due and payable debt owed to us now or in the future, by any of you having the right of withdrawal, to the extent of such persons’ or legal entity’s right to withdraw. If the debt arises from a note, “any due and payable debt” includes the total amount of which we are entitled to demand payment under the terms of the note at the time we charge the account, including any feeds, interest and any balance due for which we properly accelerate under the note.
Our right to repayment does not apply to this account if: (a) it is an Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account, or, (b) the debtor’s right of withdrawal arises only in a representative capacity, or (c) Social Security or supplemental security income payments are deposited directly into this account pursuant to an agreement with us which permits such direct deposit without presentation to you at the time of deposit. We will not be liable for the dishonor of any check or draft when the dishonor occurs because we charge and deduct an amount you owe us from your account. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right to repayment.
Agents: An agent is someone who you authorize to have access to this account on your behalf. (We, however, have no duty or agreement whatsoever to monitor or ensure that the acts of the agent are for your benefit. A separate form, such as a power of attorney, is used to designate an agent. An agent is not an owner of the account. We may refuse to accept an agent, or power of attorney.

Please remember that even if we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
Determining the
Availability of a Deposit
