It is the policy of 121 Financial Credit Union (Credit Union) to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to conduct business in accordance with applicable safety and soundness standards.

A non-sufficient funds (negative balance) may result from: A) the payment of checks, electronic funds transfers, or other withdrawal requests, B) payments authorized by the member, C) the return, unpaid, of items deposited to the account, D) the imposition of
applicable service charges or fees, and/or E) the deposit of items which according to the Credit Union’s Funds Availability Policy are treated as not yet “available.”

The Credit Union is not obligated to pay any item presented for payment to your account if the account does not contain sufficient collected funds. Rather than automatically returning unpaid any non-sufficient funds (NSF) items that you may have, the Credit Union may consider, without obligation on our part, approving your reasonable overdrafts. This discretionary overdraft service*, Privilege Pay, will be limited and may include fees and charges, including any NSF, Privilege Pay, and/or Overdrawn Account fee(s) as set forth in our Rate and Fee schedules.

In order to be considered for this discretionary overdraft service*, your checking account must A) be used primarily for personal and household purposes, B) have been open for at least thirty (30) days, C) and thereafter must be maintained in good standing, D) qualify for VISA® Check card, E) be brought to a positive balance (not overdrawn) at least once every thirty (30) days, F) not be
subject to any legal or administrative order or levy, and G) no account owner can be delinquent on any loan obligation to the Credit Union.

The Credit Union may refuse to pay an overdraft for you at any time, even though your account is in good standing and even though the Credit Union may have previously paid overdrafts for you. The Credit Union has no obligation to notify you before the Credit Union pays or returns any item. The amount of any overdraft plus our NSF, Privilege Pay, and/or Overdraft fee(s) that you owe the Credit Union shall be due and payable upon demand. If there is an overdraft paid by the Credit Union on an account with more than
one (1) owner on the signature card, each account owner, and agent if applicable, of an account on which an overdraft occurs shall be jointly and severally liable for such overdrafts plus our NSF, Privilege Pay and/or Overdraft fee(s).

Limitations: Privilege Pay Overdraft service is available only to eligible personal checking accounts. Money Market accounts are
not eligible. The Credit Union may limit the number of accounts eligible for overdraft service to one account per household. The
determination of whether an item will be paid or returned will be made only at the time it is presented. If you have requested
overdraft protection, the Credit Union will honor drafts drawn on insufficient funds by first transferring funds from another account (as allowed by law — see Regulation D) or loan, as you have directed, or as required by under the Credit Union’s overdraft
protection policy. If sufficient funds are not available from another account or loan as you have directed to cover an item in full, the
Credit Union will then consider extending Privilege Pay Overdraft service. There must be sufficient funds or sufficient limit to cover
an item in its entirety from one source (either overdraft protection or Privilege Pay Overdraft service), or the item will be returned.

*The Privilege Pay Overdraft service does not constitute an actual or implied agreement between you and the Credit Union. Nor does it constitute an actual or implied obligation of or by the Credit Union. This service represents a purely discretionary courtesy or privilege that the Credit Union may provide to you from time to time which may be withdrawn or withheld by the Credit Union at any time without prior notice, reason or cause.

Important Information About Procedures For Opening a New Account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal Law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. The need for preventing identity fraud is amplified now that we understand the threat goes beyond financial implications.

What this means for you:

When you open an account, apply for a loan or are added as a signatory to an existing account or loan, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We will also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

We appreciate your understanding as we work together to prevent identity fraud for your protection and to maintain the security of your funds and our country. If you have any questions or concerns about our identity verification policies, please speak with a credit union staff member.

This Disclosure describes your ability to withdraw funds at 121 Financial Credit Union. It only applies to the availability of funds in transaction accounts. The Credit Union reserves the right to delay the availability of funds deposited to accounts that are not transaction accounts for periods longer than those disclosed in this policy. Please ask us if you have a question about which accounts are affected by this policy.

1. GENERAL POLICY — Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before close of business on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the close of business or on a business day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

2. RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO HOLD — In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the same business day that we receive your deposit. Funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225.00 of your deposit will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the next business day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.

3. HOLDS ON OTHER FUNDS — If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this Disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

4. LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY — We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525.00 on any one (1) day.
- You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six (6) months.
- There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.

5. SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS — If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,525.00 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s, traveler’s, and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the same business day that we receive your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you. The excess over $5,525.00 will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,525.00 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit.

6. DEPOSITS AT NONPROPRIETARY ATMS — Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate will not be available until the fifth business day after the date of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own or operate. All ATMs that we own or operate are identified as our machines.

7. FOREIGN CHECKS — Checks drawn on financial institutions located outside the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this Disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds for deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institution upon which it is drawn.
