2. MEMBERSHIP AND ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
This Agreement governs all Global Business Share Draft
(Checking) and Business Share (Savings) Accounts (including
Certificates) opened for business or commercial purposes. This
Share Account Disclosure Statement, the applicable “Schedule of
Service Fees,” the “Business Account Application and Agreement”
that you signed, and other account opening documents for your
account are part of the binding contract (the Agreement) between
you and Global for your share account. This Agreement covers
your rights and responsibilities concerning your business accounts
and the rights and responsibilities of Global. When you complete
the documentation to open a business account or keep your
business account open, you acknowledge that you have reviewed
and understand the terms of this Agreement, and you agree to be
governed by the terms in this Agreement. You understand that
these terms, which may be periodically changed or supplemented,
are a binding contract between you and Global for your share
account. We give this Agreement to you when you open your
account. Additional copies may be obtained by contacting us via
one of the methods in section 1.2 “How to Contact Us.
The organization, association, sole proprietorship, corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, or public unit in whose
name the account is held is referred to as the “business member”,
“member”, or “legal entity.” In this Agreement, the words “you,
“your,” and “yours” mean the member who opens an account
with Global, anyone who signs a “Business Account Application
and Agreement” or signature card, account change card, form to
change or add authorized signers, or any other account opening
document, and anyone for whom membership and/or service
requests are approved through Global’s online application and
authentication process. The words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to
Global Federal Credit Union. The word “account” means any one
(1)or more share or other accounts you have with Global.
The term “Share Account(s)” generically and collectively refers to
the following types of shares: savings, money market, share draft
(checking), and certificates. Share draft accounts will be referred
to as checking accounts and share drafts as checks.
By signing your “Business Account Application and Agreement,
you and all authorized signers agree to abide by the terms and
conditions and fee schedules applicable to all accounts and
services you receive from Global and to conform to Global’s bylaws
and amendments thereto. You authorize us to perform a credit
check or obtain a credit report at any time. Member accounts,
including the account numbers, are solely owned by the member.
All share accounts are non-assignable and non-transferable to
third parties.
The terms and conditions of this Agreement and these accounts
and services are subject to change without your approval and
without notice to you unless prior notification is required by
law. When we change this Agreement, the revised version of
this Agreement supersedes all prior versions and governs your
account. If you continue to use your account or keep it open, you
are deemed to have accepted and agreed to the change and are
bound by the change. If you do not agree with a change, you may
close your account as provided in this Agreement. You will be
notified of any change, amendment, or modification that would
adversely affect you at least thirty (30) days, or greater than thirty
days if specifically required by law or regulation, in advance of
such change. Any notice provided by us to you constitutes notice
to all individuals authorized by you to access the account. If you
have any questions, please contact us via one of the methods in
section 1.2 “How to Contact Us” of this Agreement.
2.1. Membership Eligibility
a. Eligibility.
The business member must meet at least one
of the membership qualifications defined in Global’s Field of
Membership. A business entity is eligible to become a member
of the credit union provided it qualifies in one of the following
ways: (1) the business is located within an eligible community
charter location, or (2) the business itself is listed in the Field of
Membership, or (3) all owners (which may include all shareholders)
are existing members or eligible to become members of Global.
You also must purchase at least one (1) share (the value of one
share is $5).
Your membership is contingent on satisfactory verification of
identity in compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 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, including the beneficial owners of legal entities.
4
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
When you apply to become a business member, we will require
each beneficial owner’s name, physical address, date of birth, and
other identifying information. Beneficial owners are identified as:
Each individual who owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more
of the equity interests of the legal entity member. Indirect
ownership includes ownership by an individual that is held
through another corporate entity.
An individual with significant responsibility for managing
the legal entity (e.g., a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Managing Member, General
Partner, President, Vice President or Treasurer), or any other
individual who regularly performs similar functions.
Global requires appropriate proof of existence of the legal
entity and other documents providing proof of authority to
establish accounts and services. If Global is not able to verify
the required beneficial owner(s) or authorized signer(s) identity,
Global reserves the right to not open an account or establish a
relationship.
Requests for business membership or the ability to act as an
authorized account signatory may be denied to individuals who
have caused Global a financial loss and/or who have a record of
account abuse with a consumer reporting agency.
Once you qualify for membership, you will not be required to
requalify if you have maintained active membership status. An
active member must maintain a balance of at least $5 (par value
of one share) in any share account. If the account balance drops
below $5 for any reason, including as the result of the imposition
of any share account service fee, and the balance is not increased
to $5 within a six-month (6-month) period, your membership
may be terminated. If your membership is terminated, you will
need to re-qualify for membership, by being in Global’s Field of
Membership and purchasing a share, to receive account services.
b. Prohibited Activities.

services to any person or organization:

Internet gambling providers or may be coded as originating
from a gambling establishment, as defined by Regulation GG;
Registered as or engaged in the direct operation of a Tier I or
Tier II marijuana related business (MRB), as defined below, or
any other type of business that violates state or federal law.
Global utilizes a risk-based tier structure to categorize MRBs.
»
A Tier I MRB includes businesses directly engaged in the
marijuana industry through the manufacture, distribution,
and/or disbursement of marijuana.
»
A Tier II MRB is not directly engaged in manufacturing,
distribution, or disbursement of marijuana, but has a specific
and intentional focus on providing products and services to
such businesses.
»
Tier III MRBs are not traditional marijuana-related businesses,
but rather businesses that may occasionally or periodically sell
services to the industry or products that may be used by Tier
I or Tier II MRBs.
»

and member service capability, Global will not provide
account services to Tier I or Tier II MRBs, with the specific
exception of employees of MRBs and hydroponic suppliers
which are permissible.

II hemp related business (HRB), as defined below, or any other

handle, harvest, condition, distribute, or store hemp, hemp
plants, hemp plant parts, hemp products, or hemp seed.
5
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
»
A Tier II HRB includes businesses that are not directly engaged
in cultivating, planting, growing, distributing, or disbursing of
hemp, but have a specific and intentional focus on providing
products and services to such businesses.
»
A Tier III HRB includes businesses that occasionally or
periodically sell services to the industry or sell products that
may be used or produced by Tier I or Tier II HRBs and those
sales are incidental to the overall business revenue.
»
As a matter of policy, and in recognition of resource constraints
and member service capability, Global will not provide account
services to Tier I or Tier II HRBs, with the specific exception of
employees of HRBs which are permissible.
Global may:
Restrict deposits or withdrawals by any member who deposits
and/or withdraws in aggregate more than $150,000 in cash per
calendar month for more than two consecutive months, or three
months within the last 12 months; or
Restrict account services to any member who utilizes their
account in a manner inconsistent with the account type, if such
activity results in the avoidance of account fees.
2.2. Business Account.
Your account shall be subject to
withdrawal or receipt by any one of the authorized signers and
payment to any of them shall be valid and shall discharge Global
from any liability for such payment. Each of the authorized signers
is authorized to access the account by any means approved by
Global. We may require that third-party checks payable to a
business may only be deposited to a business account.
If more than one person is authorized to write checks or draw items
on the account, you agree that Global can honor checks signed
by any ONE or more authorized signers, even if there are two
or more lines on the items for a signature and the item purports
to require two or more signatures. You agree that any condition
on an account that purports to require two or more authorized
signers on items drawn on the account is an internal condition to
the business’ operations and is solely for the business’ internal
control purposes and is not binding on Global.
You acknowledge and agree that you are pledging all or any
part of shares/funds in the account as collateral security for any
loan or loans, excluding credit card accounts, with Global. Any
authorized signer may access any credit line loan established
with this account through any access means made available by
Global. You and authorized signers agree that Global is authorized
to charge, at any time, against any account associated with this
master account number, any indebtedness owing to us by you.
Global reserves the right to require you to provide a new
account agreement or account amendment and board minutes
for corporations, associations, and organizations or other
documentary evidence satisfactory to us informing us who is
authorized to act on your behalf. No Payable on Death (POD)
beneficiary designation or other designation shall apply to the
account.
If we receive conflicting instructions or a dispute arises as to
authorization with regard to the handling of an account, you
agree we may place a hold on that account until such conflict or
dispute is resolved to our satisfaction, and we will not be liable for
dishonored items as a result of such hold. You agree that Global
shall have no notice of any breach of fiduciary duties arising from
any transactions by any agent of yours, unless we have actual
notice of such breach.
You agree to notify Global of any change in the authority of agents
or authorized signers. We may rely on written authorization until
such time as we are informed of changes in writing and such
changes shall not affect transactions made within one business
day of receipt of notice by us. If an authorized signer is deleted
from the account, any checks bearing such signer’s signature that
are presented for payment shall be honored by us. Accordingly,
you shall be solely responsible for recovering any checks in the
possession of a signer who is removed from the account.
2.3. Share Insurance Coverage.
Accounts are federally
insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union
Association (NCUA). The NCUA is the federal agency that charters
and supervises federal credit unions and insures savings in federal
credit unions across the country through the National Credit
Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). The NCUSIF is a federal
fund backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
government.
Accounts for partnerships, corporations, and unincorporated
associations are separately insured for up to $250,000. Accounts
for sole proprietors, including doing-business-as (DBA) accounts,
are not insured separately from accounts for individuals. Adding
authorized signers to accounts does not increase account
coverage.
For more information about NCUA share insurance, please see
the “Your Insured Funds” brochure, which is published by NCUA
and available at all Global branches and online at https://www.
mycreditunion.gov/sites/default/static-files/insured-funds-
brochure.pdf.
3. DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS
3.1. General Provisions.
All deposits are subject to “proof” by
Global. This means Global reserves the right to review the cash,
checks, or other items deposited to confirm the amount of the
deposit. You are responsible for all items deposited into your
account— including any problems that may ensue. If you deposit
one or more checks, money orders, cashier’s checks, or other
such items, we do not generally verify whether they are valid at
the time you deposit them. Your account may be charged for the
value of an item if it is not paid for any reason, which may result
in your account being overdrawn and fees being assessed. We
6
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
are not required to verify or question the authority of any person
making a deposit to your account. We may accept an item for
deposit from any person. If your account is overdrawn and you
make a deposit, the funds may be applied first to fees you owe us
and/or to pay any existing overdraft.
If funds are deposited into a checking account, the deposited
funds may be used to pay checks that have been written or may
be withdrawn in cash. Although you may withdraw these funds,
you remain responsible for any deposited check that may be
returned unpaid.
We may refuse a deposited item entirely or partially. We may
return an item you have deposited. Or we may accept it for
collection only. If you deposit counterfeit cash, your account may
be charged for the amount determined to be counterfeit.
3.2. Deposit Preparation and Acceptance.
Any deposits not
made in person at a branch may be opened and counted by any
Global employee or authorized agent. You agree not to dispute
the amount of any cash deposit not made in person at a branch.
We determine the date of a deposit at our discretion, and this will
affect the date on which the deposit is credited to your account.
This may depend on the manner in which it was deposited (in
person, ATM, night depository, mail, etc.). We reserve the right to
adjust the amount that you deposit with us based on subsequent
verification of deposited items by us.
3.3. Deposit Error Correction.
Global can correct any errors
found. For example, if you made an error in adding the amount
of your deposit, we can correct your account to reflect the actual
amount deposited. Global can correct errors even if we gave you
a receipt for the incorrect amount or already posted the incorrect
amount to your account.
If you use a deposit slip for depositing funds, you must ensure
that the amount shown on the deposit slip is correct. We may use
the amount shown on the deposit slip to provisionally credit your
account. If the amount shown on the deposit slip is later shown
to have been incorrect, we reserve the right to either adjust your
account or not adjust your account unless you notify us of the
error.
If an error was made with a deposit, we may adjust your account.
This may be done regardless of whether you have withdrawn some
or all of the funds. We are not responsible for any errors or delays
made by others in the collection process. We are responsible only
for exercising an ordinary level of care.
It is your responsibility to identify the correct account for your
deposits, and you are responsible for any fees, costs, damages, or
loss that may occur if you incorrectly identify the account for your
deposits. We may choose to deposit funds into the account you
designate regardless of whether there are discrepancies between
the name or account number and your instructions.
3.4. Overpayments and Reversals.
If funds are transferred
to your account by mistake, we may reverse the transfer without
notice to you, even if it causes your account to be overdrawn.
Similarly, if funds are deposited to your account by mistake, we
may deduct those funds from your account, even if it causes your
account to be overdrawn. We may do this without giving you prior
notice.
3.5. Returned Items.
Our returned check procedures apply to
all funds that you have deposited into your account or that we
have cashed for you— collectively called “cashed or deposited
checks.” We may take any of the actions described in this section
(including withdrawals and holds) without notice to you, even
if our actions cause your account to be overdrawn or to have
insufficient funds.
Funds in the amount of a returned check may be deducted from
your account at any time starting with the date it is returned to
us by any means or starting with the date we are notified that the
check will be returned to us—whichever is earlier. We may place
a hold on funds in your account while we work to resolve the
returned check, even if the check has already been paid by the
bank on which it is drawn, regardless of whether the payment is
considered final.
For each cashed or deposited check that is returned to us, we may
charge you a fee. You agree to immediately pay any fees, charges,
or overdrafts incurred because of returned checks in your account.
We are not obligated or required to question or investigate the
circumstances behind any returned check or to take any action
with regard to a returned check. We may accept a returned check,
pay the claiming party, and withdraw the relevant funds from
your account without regard to whether the check was paid by
the other party and without regard to any midnight deadline or
clearinghouse rules. We will accept (and you agree to accept) an
electronic notice of return, a copy of the original check with an
indemnity stamp, an image replacement document, or an image
as documentation of the returned check instead of the original
check.
We may choose to (but are not obligated to) resubmit the
returned check for payment, and we are not obligated to notify
you if we choose to do so. We may, at our discretion, notify you
about some returned checks.
3.6. Endorsing Checks.
We may accept items deposited to
your account even if you have not endorsed them. We reserve the
right to require your endorsement on deposited items. We may
refuse a deposited item if individuals who are not account owners
have endorsed the item.
Checks written to a signatory on the account may be accepted if
they are endorsed by any other signatory on the account.
If a check you wish to cash or deposit is payable to another party
7
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
or is payable to you and other parties, we may require that the
check be endorsed by all parties named on the item. We may
require that the parties provide documentation of their personal
identification or an endorsement guarantee.
For checks deposited using Mobile Remote Deposit (mobile
deposit), you agree to add “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY, Global
account # ____” immediately below the signature line. Checks
deposited electronically that do not include this restricted
endorsement may not be accepted for deposit. Once a check
has been deposited and accepted electronically, it may not be
deposited to another financial institution. Mobile deposits that
do not bear a restricted endorsement and are later deposited at
another institution will be returned and subject to a return deposit
fee as stated in the Statement of Service Fees - Business.
The Federal Reserve has established standards for endorsements
on the back of checks. Payee endorsements must be restricted to
the 1.5- inch area on the back of the check beginning at the trailing
edge. (The trailing edge is the left end when viewing the check from
the front.) All other areas on the back of the check are reserved
for financial institution endorsements. If the person presenting the
check or any prior endorser writes on or imprints information in
the areas reserved for financial institutions, a financial institution’s
endorsement may be obscured and could result in a late return of
the check if it is not paid. You are responsible for any loss incurred
by you or Global due to such a late return. Additionally, you will be
responsible for any late returns caused by preprinted information
or carbon bands that may appear on the backs of checks that are
negotiated by you.
If you use a Facsimile Signature, you authorize and direct Global,
without further inquiry and as an accommodation to you, to honor
and pay checks, drafts, and other items for which a Facsimile
Signature was used, and to charge and debit the member
account(s) for such items, regardless of how or by whom the
actual or purported facsimile signature was affixed. You agree
to assume full responsibility for withdrawals or items we pay
containing or purporting to contain a Facsimile Signature and
are precluded from asserting and agrees to indemnify and hold
us harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses arising from or related to
any use, misuse, or unauthorized or unlawful use of a Facsimile
Signature or device.
3.7. Foreign Checks.
Some checks may be accepted for
collection only and may not be cashed upon presentment. This
includes checks drawn on foreign banks or checks in foreign
currencies. Our Funds Availability Policy does not apply to any
foreign checks, whether or not we accept it for deposit or on
a collection basis. Such checks are processed separately and
will typically be credited to your account only when we receive
payment for the check. If we credit your account before receiving
payment, and then do not receive payment, or the check is returned
unpaid, your account may be debited, regardless of whether this
causes your account to be overdrawn, for the amount of the item
at the current exchange rate, which may be different than the
initial credit. Foreign currency conversion rates are determined by
the processing or paying bank. Foreign checks may be subject to
fees imposed by Global and other financial institutions involved
in processing the check. These fees are required to be paid even
if the check is returned unpaid. If payment of a fee is required
prior to processing the item, we may pay the fee and deduct the
amount from your account, regardless of whether this causes your
account to be overdrawn. Such a fee may be deducted from the
amount paid to us by another financial institution.
3.8. Demand Drafts and Remotely Created Checks.
You
guarantee that a demand draft or remotely created check that you
deposit to your account is authorized by the identified drawer and
in accordance with the terms on its face. If you authorize a third
party to draw a remotely created check or demand draft against
your account, you may not later revoke your authorization. It is
your responsibility to resolve any authorization issues directly
with the third party. We are not required to credit your account
and may charge against your account any remotely created
check or demand draft for which the third party has proof of your
authorization. You indemnify us from all loss, expense, and liability
in the event that such an item was not authorized.
4. TRANSACTION PROCESSING
There are two basic types of transactions that post to your account:
credits (deposits) and debits (withdrawals). It is important to be
familiar with how each type of credit and debit is applied to your
account so that you know the amount of funds available to you at
any given time.
We provide you notice of credits and debits to your account by
listing them on your account statement. We are not obligated
under the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing
House Association (NACHA) or the Uniform Commercial Code
(UCC) to send a separate notice or receipt for wires or electronic
transfers. If you have a question on an incoming transfer, please
contact us (see “How to Contact Us” in Section 1.2 of this
Agreement).
4.1. Actual Balance, Available Balance, and Order of
Transactions.
a. Actual Balance.
Your actual balance is the actual amount
of money in your account. This amount is updated throughout
the day as transactions are posted. It does not include pending
transactions or holds. You agree we may give you credit for an
ACH payment before we receive final credit; however, any such
payment is provisional until we receive final settlement. If we do
not receive final settlement of an ACH that we have provisionally
credited, we will reverse the entry and you will be liable to us for
the amount of the transaction.
8
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
b. Available Balance.
Your available balance is the amount of
money in your account that is currently available for you to make
purchases, withdrawals, etc. The available balance reflects any
pending transactions and any holds placed on deposits. Your
available balance is updated throughout the day as transactions
are posted. It does not include any checks you have written that
have not been presented for payment, bill payments that have
been scheduled but not yet sent, or ACH transactions (direct
withdrawals and/or direct deposits) that have not yet posted.
Available balance is used to determine whether an item will be
paid and to assess overdraft fees.
c. Order of Transactions.
Typically, Global posts transactions in
the order they are received. We cannot control when transactions
are presented for deposit or payment. We make every attempt to
post credits before debits so that members receive the maximum
benefit of their funds. Both the actual and available balances of
your account can be checked at a Global ATM, when reviewing
your account information online, by phone, or at a branch.
4.2. When Transactions Are Posted
a. In-Person Cash Transactions.
Cash deposits presented in
person at a branch location during business hours post to your
account as they are received and are available for immediate
withdrawal. In-person cash withdrawals also post immediately.
b. Night Deposits.
Deposits made using a branch night
depository post several times a day. Deposits made throughout
the day will be posted no later than the branch closing time.
Deposits made after branch operating hours will be posted the
next business day, generally within one hour of the branch opening
time. Deposits may not be available for withdrawal subject to the
‘Funds Availability’ section of this disclosure.
c. Checks and Remote Deposit Capture.
When you write a
check, it may be negotiated in an Global branch for deposit or to
be cashed, or it may be negotiated at another financial institution
and processed through the Federal Reserve System. Checks
presented at an Global branch will generally be debited from your
account as soon as they are received. Checks received from the
Federal Reserve System will be processed at least once each day
and will post in check number order.
Business members can deposit checks remotely either by using
Mobile Remote Deposit on the Global App, or by using Business
Remote Deposit, which uses a scanner to upload checks. Business
members must apply and be determined to be eligible before they
will be permitted to use Remote Business Deposit. Any deposit
that does not meet the criteria required by the Mobile Remote
Deposit or Remote Business Deposit service requires additional
review and verification that may delay posting.
Mobile Remote Deposit. Deposits made using Mobile Remote
Deposit will generally be made available within 30 minutes unless
further verification or extended hold periods are needed. Deposits
of larger checks may not be fully available until up to five business
days after the deposit if hold periods apply. If further verification
is needed, deposits submitted via the Service prior to 5:00 p.m.
Alaska Standard Time (AST) Monday – Friday, except for holidays,
will be reviewed the same business day. If the item is approved,
the funds will be deposited to your account, subject to applicable
check holds, before 6:00 p.m. AST on the same business day
and you will receive an “Approved” email confirmation. Funds
deposited outside of business hours, AST, will be reviewed on the
following business day. Deposits of larger checks may not be fully
available until up to four business days after the day of deposit if
hold periods apply. Members are sent an email notification of any
holds placed on deposited items.
Business Remote Deposit. Deposits made using Business Remote
Deposit typically are posted the same business day. Deposits
made after 5:00 p.m. AST, or on weekends and/or holidays, will be
processed the following business day.
d. ATM Transactions.
Global has two types of depository
ATMs (automated teller machines). “Intelligent Depository”
ATMs allow you to deposit cash or checks directly into a bill
feeder; “Envelope Depository” ATMs allow you to place checks
into a deposit envelope. Cash deposits made using an Intelligent
Depository post to your account as they are received and are
available for immediate withdrawal. Check deposits made using
either an Intelligent or Envelope Depository post to your account
as they are received but may not be available for immediate
withdrawal. Generally, we will attempt to make at least part of
your check deposit immediately available. However, some check
deposits may be automatically delayed for one business day, and
deposited checks may be held longer, once the deposited item(s)
are reviewed.
ATM withdrawals are transactions where you use your debit or
credit card and enter your PIN to withdraw cash at an ATM. Except
in rare circumstances, ATM withdrawals immediately post to your
account at the time of the transaction.
e. Debit Card Transactions.
Debit card transactions are
processed in one of two ways. When a merchant asks if you are
using the card as “debit or credit,” “debit” means the purchase will
be processed as a Point-of-Sale (POS) transaction and “credit”
means the purchase will be processed as a signature-based
transaction. Regardless of how the transaction is processed,
Global will use your available balance to determine whether a
transaction will be approved (authorized) or declined.
Typically, POS transactions are ones in which you use your debit
card and enter your PIN at the time of purchase. Under certain
dollar limits, some merchants will not require your PIN for a POS
transaction. POS transactions are similar to ATM withdrawals
because they usually post to your account at the time of the
transaction. However, sometimes merchants do not present POS
transactions for immediate payment. Regardless, we will attempt
9
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
to post the transaction as soon as it is received.
Signature-based transactions are ones in which you use your debit
card and sign for the transaction instead of entering your PIN.
For certain transaction types, or under certain dollar limits, some
merchants will not require your signature for the transaction even
though your PIN was not used. Signature-based transactions do
not immediately post to your account; these transactions will post
when they are presented by the merchant, generally within three
(3) business days. As described above, debit card transactions
are authorized based on your available balance. When Global
authorizes a signature-based debit card transaction, we will place
an authorization hold on the corresponding amount of funds in
your checking account to cover that transaction, however; the
authorization hold will immediately expire and the corresponding
funds will become available.
Credits (refunds) from debit card purchases are posted to your
account as they are received, which may be 3-5 days after the
merchant has processed your return. Once posted, these credits
are available for immediate withdrawal.
f. Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions.
Global
processes transfers through the Automated Clearing House
(ACH). ACH transfers, which are sometimes referred to as direct
deposit or electronic payments, are subject to rules of NACHA.
Your rights and obligations with respect to these transactions
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the state of Alaska, as provided by NACHA’s Operating Rules.
In the case of credit entries subject to Article 4A of the Uniform
Commercial Code, Global hereby provides notice that such entries
may be transmitted through the ACH Network pursuant to the
ACH Rules governed by NACHA.
Global is not required to give next day notice to you of receipt of
an ACH item, and we will not do so. However, we will continue to
notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements
we provide to you.
Funds from electronic direct deposit will be available on the date
Global receives payment for that deposit. We may give you access
to funds deposited by ACH before final settlement. Credit given
by us to you with respect to an ACH credit entry is provisional
until we receive final settlement for that entry through a Federal
Reserve Bank. If we do not receive such final settlement, we are
entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your
account in connection with such entry, and the payor of the entry
will not be deemed to have paid you the amount of such entry.
If you originate an ACH transaction you are agreeing to comply
with and be bound by the rules of the NACHA. You should be
aware that we may not match the name on the receiving account
to the name of the individual listed on the transaction. Rather,
we may rely solely on the account number provided to post the
transaction.
g. Bank Wires.
Deposits from incoming bank wires are posted to
your account as they are received and are available for immediate
withdrawal.
We may delay the processing of an outgoing wire transfer request
to verify information as required by The USA PATRIOT Act. Wire
transfers may be sent through Fedwire which is a system operated
by the Federal Reserve System and governed by Regulation J. You
are responsible for verifying the information you provide to Global
for outgoing wire transfer instructions. You should be aware that
financial institutions are not obligated to match the name on the
receiving account to the name of the beneficiary listed on the
wire transfer request. Rather, financial institutions may rely solely
on the account number provided on the wire transfer request.
Therefore, it is critical to ensure the accuracy of your wire transfer
instructions. Once a wire transfer has been transmitted, it may
not be recovered. The cut-off times for receipt and processing
of wire transfer requests will be communicated to you at the
time of your request. Funds for an outgoing wire transfer will be
withdrawn from the account the day the wire is processed. Global
will not be liable for any failure to act or delay due to a lack of
sufficient available funds in your account or any inaccuracy in the
instructions provided.
Wire transfers involving only US currency that are not completed
on the day the instructions are received may be processed on a
subsequent business day.
Wire transfers involving a foreign currency require the instructions
be received on the business day the transfer is processed.
4.3. Postdated and Staledated Checks and Stop Payment
Orders.
For checks drawn on Global member accounts, a post-
dated check or a check of which the date is at least six months old
may be paid upon demand unless Global has been instructed to
stop payment.
5. CHECK 21 AND SUBSTITUTE CHECKS
What is a substitute check?
To make check processing faster,
federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks
with “substitute checks.” These checks are similar in size to original
checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the
original check. The front of a substitute check states: “This is a
legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would
use the original check.” You may use a substitute check as proof of
payment just like the original check.
Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may
be substitute checks (for example, a check you deposit to your
account that is returned unpaid may be returned to you as a
substitute check).
Your rights regarding substitute checks.
In certain cases,
federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request
a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your
10
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong
amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your
account more than once for the same check). The losses you may
attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount
that was withdrawn from your account and a refund of fees that
were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, NSF
check fees).
The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to
the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check,
whichever is less. You are also entitled to dividends on the amount
of your refund if your account is a dividend-bearing account. If
your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be
able to recover additional amounts under other law.
If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your
refund (plus dividends if your account earns dividends) within
ten (10) business days after we receive your written claim and the
remainder of your refund (plus dividends if your account earns
dividends) not later than forty-five (45) calendar days after we
receive your written claim.
We may reverse the refund (including any dividends on the
refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute
check was correctly posted to your account.
How do I make a claim for a refund?
If you believe you have
suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and
that was posted to your account, contact us immediately via one
of the methods in section 1.2 “How to Contact Us”.
You must contact us within sixty (60) calendar days of the date we
mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed)
the substitute check in question or of the date of the account
statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your
account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you
were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary
circumstances. When contacting us to make your claim, please
include the following information:
A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you
think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
An estimate of the amount of your loss;
An explanation of why the substitute check you received is
insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss;
A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information
to help us identify the substitute check: the check number, the
name of the person to whom you wrote the check, the amount
of the check, and the date the check was posted to your account.
If you contact us in person or by telephone, we will require that
you forward your claim to us in writing within ten (10) business
days.
Please note that if we ask you to submit your claim in writing and
we do not receive it within ten (10) business days of our request,
we may not credit your account.
6. GLOBAL AND MEMBER LIABILITY
If we do not properly complete a transaction according to this
Agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages, not
to exceed the amount of the transaction, except as otherwise
provided by law. We will not be liable if: (1) your account contains
insufficient funds for the transaction; (2) circumstances beyond
our control prevent the transaction; (3) your loss is caused by your
or another financial institution’s negligence; or (4) your account
funds are subject to legal process or other claim. We will not be
liable for consequential damages, except liability for wrongful
dishonor. We exercise ordinary care and our actions or nonactions
shall be consistent with applicable federal and state law, Federal
Reserve regulations and operating letters, NCUA regulations, and
clearinghouse rules. You grant us the right to rely exclusively on
the form of the account and the terms in this Agreement. Any
conflict between what you or our employees may say or write will
be resolved by reference to this Agreement.
You agree to indemnify Global and hold us harmless from and
against all costs, including attorney’s fees, damages, and claims,
related to our actions if we are unable to post funds to an account
under certain circumstances, including but not limited to the
following:
a. Our closing of the account;
b. Your or any payee or endorsee’s raising of a claim regarding the
account; or
c. Our failure to cancel or process an item as a result of incorrect
information provided by you.
7. GLOBAL LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST
Global has the right to seize deposited funds to repay financial
obligations owed by you, joint account owner, co-borrower,
guarantor, or other obligated party. These obligations may include
a negative share balance or a loan that is in default. Funds may be
seized from any account or share that lists the obligated party as
member or joint owner. You may be charged a fee for the transfer
to resolve the negative share balance.
7.1. Security Interest.
By signing the account agreement, you
acknowledge and voluntarily agree to pledge all shares and funds
in the account as collateral security for any loan or loans, excluding
credit card accounts, with Global.
7.2. Statutory Lien.
Under federal law, Global has the right
to impress and enforce a statutory lien against your shares and
dividends in the event of failure to satisfy a financial obligation and
may enforce that right without further notice to you. A “lien” on
property is a creditor’s right to obtain ownership of the property
in the event a debtor defaults on a debt. A “statutory lien” is one
11
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
created by federal or state statute. This lien right applies to all
accounts that you have with Global, to the extent permitted by
law, including accounts that are held jointly with another party.
Specific exceptions to our application of our statutory lien right
may apply, including the following instances: (1) to offset credit
card debt if you are delinquent on a credit card issued by us; or (2)
if you are in bankruptcy, the statutory lien would not be enforced
while an automatic stay is in effect. These exceptions do not
negate any other remedy available to Global in the event that you
default on a debt.
8. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS AND BACKUP
WITHHOLDING
If you are not a corporation and we pay you $10 or more in dividend
payments on your deposit account with us, we are required to
report the payments to you and to the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). We may also be required to report this information to the
appropriate state revenue authority. You should consult your tax
advisor or legal professional for more information.
When you open an account with us, we are required to obtain
from you, and you certify that you have provided to us, a correct
certified U.S. Tax Identification Number (TIN) and correct
information about your backup withholding status. For a business,
the TIN is your Employer Identification Number (EIN).
About backup withholding: Backup withholding is not an
additional tax. If we are required to backup withhold, the current
backup withholding rate will apply to any dividends paid to your
account, and the amount withheld will be paid directly to the
IRS on your behalf. Backup withholding may apply in any of the
following situations: (1) if you do not give us a certified name and
TIN; (2) if the IRS notifies us that the name or TIN is incorrect; or
(3) if the IRS notifies us that you did not report all your dividends
on your tax return. If backup withholding applies to you, we are
required to report the backup withholding amounts to you and
to the IRS. Backup withholding amounts paid to the IRS may be
claimed as a credit on your federal income tax return.
In some cases, a state and local tax authority may also require
that we pay state and local backup withholding on interest paid
to your account when we are required to pay backup withholding
to the IRS.
9. BANK SECRECY ACT INFORMATION
In compliance with the Currency and Foreign Transactions
Reporting Act, also known commonly referred to as the Bank
Secrecy Act (BSA) and amended by the USA PATRIOT Act, the
U.S. government now requires that we ask you to supply certain
information about your employment, other sources of income,
and anticipated activity on your account(s).
10. STATEMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
10.1. Statements.
A single statement is provided to you for
all account activities linked to your account number with us.
Statements are typically provided on a monthly basis when a
checking account is linked to your account number. Statements
are typically provided on a quarterly basis when a checking
account is not linked to your account number. However, if you have
any Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) activity in a month, you will
receive a monthly account statement. We are not obligated under
the operating rules of the National Automated Clearing House
Association (NACHA) or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to
send a separate notice or receipt for wires or electronic transfers.
The statement will show all wires and EFTs that occurred, including
direct deposit, preauthorized payments, online transactions, and
any transactions involving the use of your ATM or Visa Debit Card.
If your statement (and any accompanying items) is returned to us
at any of our offices or branches, we may choose to forward it to
you or destroy it.
10.2. Notification of Errors.
You are responsible for examining
each statement of account and discovering, and then notifying us
in writing of, any errors, unauthorized transactions, alterations,
unauthorized signatures, or other problems (collectively, “the
error”) promptly.
You must notify us on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the
first account statement containing the error was made available to
you. If you do not notify us in this period, we shall not be liable for
the error, any subsequent errors, any related payments made, and
any related charges to your account.
Global must receive notice of any unauthorized or erroneous
ACH transaction on a business account no later than 3:00 p.m.
Alaska time the business day following the effective date of the
ACH transaction. Under National Automated Clearing House
Association rules, if you do not notify the credit union within
this timeframe, you will be deemed to have authorized the ACH
transaction. We may additionally require an affidavit regarding the
problem in a form satisfactory to us. Global will tell you the results
of our investigation of your claim, the basis for our decision, and
will advise you of the action, if any, we will take.
Notify us immediately at one of the telephone numbers provided
in the “How to Contact Us” section if you think your statement or
receipt is incorrect or if you need more information regarding an
electronic transfer listed on your statement or receipt.
10.3. Notice of Changes of Address, Phone, Name, or
Email.
You are responsible for keeping an up-to-date address
and contact information on file with us and for notifying us of any
change in your address. We use the address on file to send notices
and communications to you.
By providing this information, you give us permission to contact
you to discuss your Global accounts. We may use a variety of
methods to contact you, including but not limited to mail, phone
calls, text messages, and emails.
12
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
If you do not provide us with your current address, we may
continue to send statements and notices to the address we have
on file for you. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless
for doing so. We may change the address on file for you if the
U.S. Postal Service or one of its agents notifies us that you have
changed your address. We would then use the new address to
send notices and communications to you.
11. DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICES AND ACCOUNT
CLOSURES
11.1. Discontinuance and Suspension of Services Policy.
Global may restrict or suspend your access to any or all products
or services, except the basic rights of a member to vote in annual
and special meetings and maintain a share account, if you engage
in conduct that is abusive to the credit union and its membership.
Global may permanently discontinue or temporarily suspend
account services to you for reasonable cause, which includes,
but is not limited to, but is not limited to, aggressive, violent,
disruptive, or abusive behavior towards officials, employees of
the credit union, or agents of the credit union, identity verification
issues, misconduct, fraud or attempted fraud, engaging in
restricted account activities, causing a financial loss to us, and/
or account or service abuse. Global may request beneficial
ownership information at any time after an account is opened.
If the legal entity does not provide the required beneficial owner
information as requested, Global may block or close the account.
If the legal entity member is no longer licensed to do business, no
longer in Good Standing according to the terms in this agreement,
or the entity has dissolved, the account may be closed within 90
days. Account services may also be suspended to prevent us
from incurring a loss. Discontinuance and suspension of services
applies to all account types, including those held by employees or
officials of Global. Under certain circumstances, services may be
reinstated, for example, when a member has caused us a financial
loss and later reimburses us in full.
You may appeal the discontinuance or suspension of services to
Global’s Supervisory Committee. Appeals should be submitted in
writing to the address in section 1.2 “How to Contact Us” in this
Agreement.
11.2. Zero Balance Accounts.
Accounts left with a zero
balance will be automatically closed after a reasonable
period of time, generally within 32 to 92 days from the date
of last account activity. Zero balance accounts will not be
assessed a maintenance fee unless we determine that you
are still using the account. You may reactivate zero balance
accounts within six (6) months from the date of last activity.
11.3 Account Reopening.
We may reopen your account after
closing in certain circumstances including, but not limited to,
receipt of a dishonored/returned item or a preauthorized debit
card transaction initiated on your account and not canceled prior
to account closure.
11.4. Unclaimed Property/Accounts Presumed
Abandoned.
Unclaimed property laws require us to turn over
abandoned accounts to the appropriate state. If no activity occurs
on your account within the time period specified by state law,
your account will be deemed abandoned and your funds will be
escheated to the applicable state as required by that state’s law.
“State” refers to the current address listed on your account.
11.5. Termination of Membership.
We may terminate your
membership for non-participation if you fail to maintain your
minimum required membership share for six months.
You may be expelled for any reason as allowed by applicable law.
Pursuant to Global’s bylaws and the Federal Credit Union Act,
members may be expelled at a special meeting called for the
purpose of expelling those members.
12. SEVERABILITY
If a court holds any portion of this Agreement to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be
invalid or unenforceable and will continue in full force and effect.
13. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement, and your and our rights and obligations under
this Agreement, are governed by and interpreted according
to federal law and the laws (including applicable principles of
contract law) of the state of Alaska, Global’s bylaws, as well as
local clearinghouse rules, as amended from time to time. You
agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of our bylaws, as
amended from time to time. Notwithstanding other provisions,
you agree that changes in the bylaws will be effective when
approved by our Board of Directors, even if you do not receive
prior notice. You may obtain a copy of our bylaws upon request
via one of the methods in section 1.2 “How to Contact Us.
14. FUNDS AVAILABILITY
14.1. Your Ability to Withdraw Funds.
In most cases, funds
deposited by check are available to you prior to final collection of
those checks.
Typically, we make funds from your cash and check deposits
available to you on the day we receive your deposit. Wire
transfers and electronic direct deposits will be available on the
day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can
withdraw them in cash and we will use them to pay checks that
you have written.
For determining the availability of deposits, every day is a
business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If
you make a deposit in person at a branch during business hours
on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be
the day of your deposit. However, if the deposit is made at a night
13
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
depository after the branch is closed or on a day that the branch is
not open, the day of the deposit will be the next business day that
the branch is open. ATM deposits made after the close of business
may be considered to have been made on the next business day.
Dividends, if applicable, will accrue from the date of the deposit
even if deposited funds are held.
14.2. Longer Delays May Apply.
In some cases, we will not
make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on
the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on
the amount and type of check that you deposit, funds may not be
available until five (5) business days after the day of your deposit.
The first $225 of your deposits, however, may be available on the
first business day.
If you make a deposit in person at a branch and we are not
going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the
first 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
notify you in writing when the hold decision is made.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should
ask us when the funds will be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a
longer period under the following circumstances:
We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day.
You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six
months.
There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or
communications 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 fifth
business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds placed on hold will be unavailable for withdrawal by any
means until the date(s) specified.
14.3. Special Rules for New Accounts.
If you are a new
customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30
days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits to an account will be
available on the date we receive payment for that deposit.
Funds from deposits of cash; checks drawn on Global; wire
transfers; and the first $5,525 of a day’s total deposits of
cashier, certified, teller, travelers, and government checks will be
available on the day of the deposit if the checks are payable to
you or a joint owner and the deposit was made in person to an
Global employee. If these conditions are not met, funds will not
be available until the first business day after the day of deposit.
The amount of the deposit in excess of $5,525 will be available
for withdrawal no later than nine (9) business days after the day
of deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits may be unavailable until
nine (9) business days after the day of deposit.
We may place longer holds on certain items for other reasons.
15. SAVINGS AND CERTIFICATES
15.1. Nature of Dividends.
For dividend-bearing accounts,
dividends are paid from current income and available earnings
after all expenses have been paid and required regulatory transfers
to reserves are completed at the end of a dividend period. The
disclosed Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) are
the prospective rates and yields that Global anticipates paying for
the applicable dividend period.
15.2. Dividend Rates and Yields.
The Dividend Rate and
APY are provided on a separate document entitled “Share Rates
Disclosure.” That document, along with this Share Account
Disclosure Statement, are collectively referred to as “Account
Disclosures.” The dividend rates and APY set forth in the Share
Rates Disclosure are accurate as of the date on the rate sheet.
The Dividend Rate and APY for variable rate accounts may
change as determined by the Board of Directors as stated within
the Account Disclosures. Rate changes are solely within Global’s
discretion. Once a term share account (fixed rate account) is issued
or renewed, the rates are fixed over the term of that account.
Please visit globalcu.org or contact us via one of the methods in
section 1.2 “How to Contact Us” to obtain current dividend rates
and APYs for variable rate accounts.
15.3. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) Calculation.
The
APY measures the total amount of dividends paid on an account
based upon the dividend rate and the frequency of compounding.
The APY is expressed as an annualized rate based on a 365-day
year. APY calculation assumes that principal and paid dividends
remain in the account for a full 365 days (variable rate accounts)
or through the maturity date (fixed rate accounts). A withdrawal
of paid dividends before maturity of term share accounts
(Certificates or IRA Certificates) will reduce earnings.
15.4. Compounding and Crediting Dividends.
The
frequency with which dividends are compounded and credited
(Dividend Period) is set forth in the Comparative Summary of
Share Accounts. The Dividend Period is established by the Board
of Directors and may be different for each share type.
The Dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the period
14
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
and ends on the last calendar day of the period. For example, if the
dividend period is monthly, then the first dividend period within
a calendar year would begin January 1 and end January 31. If the
dividend period is quarterly, then the first dividend period within a
calendar year would begin January 1 and end March 31.
The dividend declaration date precedes the ending date of
a dividend period and is usually the date of the last Board of
Directors meeting prior to the ending date of a dividend period.
The Board of Directors generally meets on the last Wednesday of
a calendar month.
The effective beginning date for Certificates and is the date the
Certificate was issued or renewed. The effective beginning date
for all other new share accounts is the first calendar day funds
were deposited.
Certificates with an original maturity of less than one (1) year will
receive accrued dividends at maturity. Certificates with an original
maturity of one (1) year or more will receive accrued dividends at
the end of each month and at maturity.
If you close your account before dividends are paid, you will
not receive the accrued dividends. Accounts of noncorporate
members opened after December 31, 1983, on which the taxpayer
identification number (TIN) has not been certified, will not receive
a dividend.
15.5. Balance Requirements and Dividend Accruals.
The
“Comparative Summary of Share Accounts” included in this
Agreement shows the minimum balance required to open each
share type, the minimum daily balance that must be maintained
in a share each day to obtain the disclosed APY, and the minimum
daily balance required to avoid the imposition of an account
maintenance fee.
Dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance method which
applies a daily periodic rate to the principal balance every day,
providing that the balance is at or above the minimum daily
balance required to earn dividends for that share type on that day.
Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day that the cash
or non-cash (e.g., check) deposit is made to the share account.
Dividends will begin to accrue on direct deposits on the effective
date of the deposit, which is the business day Global receives
credit for the deposit. The effective date of receipt is shown on
the periodic statement of account.
15.6. Transaction Limitations.
You may not withdraw
shareholdings that are pledged as required security on loans
without the written approval of a loan officer, except to the extent
that such shares exceed your total primary and contingent liability
to Global. You may not withdraw any shareholdings below the
amount of your primary or contingent liability to Global if you are
delinquent as a borrower, or if borrowers for whom you are co-
maker, endorser, or guarantor are delinquent, without the written
approval of a loan officer. However, shares issued in an irrevocable
trust are not subject to restrictions upon withdrawal except as
stated in the trust agreement.
We may refuse to allow a withdrawal in some other situations and
will advise you accordingly; for example: (1) a dispute between
account owners, unless a court has ordered us to allow the
withdrawal; (2) a legal garnishment or attachment is served; or
(3) required documentation has not been presented.
15.7. Features of Term Share Accounts
a. Maturity and Renewal. Term share accounts (Certificates) will
mature at the maturity date set forth in the Certificate Receipt or
Maturity Notice.
Certificates are eligible for automatic renewal. A Certificate
designated for automatic renewal will be extended for successive
periods equal to the original term and at the prevailing dividend
payment frequency, dividend rate, and Annual Percentage Yield
(APY) being paid by Global as of the renewal date on Certificates
with the same term and minimum balance, unless otherwise
specified by you prior to maturity.
Certificates not specified to automatically renew at maturity by
you prior to the maturity date shall be disbursed as instructed by
you.
Funds disbursed from a matured Certificate, if deposited into
another account of the Certificate owner, are subject to the terms
and conditions of that account.
b. Limitations and Amendments. During the first seven (7) days
after the date of issuance, the maturity period (term) of the
Certificate may be changed and deposits to it will be permitted.
The dividend rate for the amended Certificate will be the published
dividend rate on the original date of issuance or renewal for the
specified term and final amount.
Certificate dividends may be paid to the Certificate balance,
by automatic dividend withdrawal to another share within the
account, or by check. The dividend disposition and renewal
options for the Certificate may be changed at any time during its
term.
c. Early Withdrawal Penalties. We will impose a penalty if you
withdraw the deposited funds or any portion of them before the
maturity date. Exceptions to these penalties shall apply only in
case of death or disability of the Certificate owner.
The Early Withdrawal Penalty applies to all automatic renewals of
existing Certificates as if they were new deposits, except during
the first ten (10) calendar days after renewal. During this grace
period, all or part of the Certificate may be withdrawn without
being subject to the Early Withdrawal Penalty.
Partial withdrawals from a Certificate are not allowed if the
withdrawal would lower the balance below the required minimum.
In the event an early withdrawal lowers the Certificate balance
15
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
below the required minimum, the Certificate must be closed,
and the Early Withdrawal Penalty will be calculated using the full
balance of the Certificate.
Pursuant to federal regulations, a minimum Early Withdrawal
Penalty of seven (7) days’ dividends will be assessed on amounts
withdrawn within the first six (6) days after the date of issuance
of a new Certificate and on any partial withdrawals made prior to
the date of maturity. Application of this penalty may result in the
forfeiture of some principal and dividends.
The following schedule of forfeitures will also apply to Certificates:
If the maturity period (term) of the Certificate is ninety (90)
days or less, you shall forfeit an amount equal to the lesser of:
»
thirty (30) days of dividends on the amount withdrawn, or
»
all dividends on the amount withdrawn since the date of
issuance or renewal.
If the maturity period (term) of the Certificate is 91 days to 365
days, you shall forfeit an amount equal to the lesser of:
»
ninety (90) days of dividends on the amount withdrawn, or
»
all dividends on the amount withdrawn since the date of
issuance or renewal.
If the maturity period (term) of the Certificate is 366 days to 729
days, you shall forfeit an amount equal to the lesser of:
»
180 days of dividends on the amount withdrawn, or
»
all dividends on the amount withdrawn since the date of
issuance or renewal.
If the maturity period (term) of the Certificate is 730 days or
more, you shall forfeit an amount equal to the lesser of:
»
365 days of dividends on the amount withdrawn, or
»
all dividends on the amount withdrawn since the date of
issuance or renewal.
15.8 Fees.
a. Fees. The “Schedule of Service Fees - Business,” provided
when you opened your account, lists the fees that apply to your
account. This schedule is part of the binding contract between
you and Global. By opening an account with us, you agree to
pay these fees. Current information about fees for other services
(such as wire transfers, cashier’s checks, and bond redemptions)
is available by contacting us via one of the methods in section 1.2
“How to Contact Us” in this Agreement. We will notify you of any
changes in fees as required by law.
b. Charging Your Account. Fees, overdrafts, and other amounts
you owe us may be deducted by us from your accounts, and these
deductions may be made at any time without notice to you. This
does not apply to any accounts covered by the federal Truth in
Lending Act.
If the funds in your account are not enough to cover the fees you
owe us, we may overdraw your account, without being liable to
you. You agree to immediately pay all fees, overdrafts, and other
amounts you owe us. We may use deposits you or others make
to your account (including deposits of payroll and government
benefits) to pay fees, overdrafts, and other amounts you owe us.
To the extent allowable, you agree to waive any protections
against attachment, levy, garnishment, or other legal process
under federal or state law on government payments that would
otherwise be protected. You agree that we may use these funds
to pay fees, overdrafts, and other amounts you owe us under this
Agreement.
16. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS: OVERDRAFTS AND RETURNED
ITEMS
16.1. Determining Sufficiency of Funds.
Global pays debits
based on the account’s Available Balance as defined in section
2.5.a. “Available Balance.” If the available funds in your account are
not sufficient to pay the full amount of a check, draft, transaction,
or other debit (plus any applicable fee) that is posted to your
account, we may return the item or pay it using any or all of the
applicable overdraft programs in which you have enrolled, as
described below. Our determination of an insufficient Available
Balance may be made at any time between presentation and the
midnight deadline. We do not have to notify you if your account
does not have sufficient available funds prior to our determination.
16.2. Overdraft Programs.
Global offers two (2) types of
overdraft programs to business members: Overdraft Protection
and Overdraft Services for debit cards. Fees for these programs
are listed on the “Schedule of Service Fees - Business.”
Enrollment in one or more overdraft program(s) does not
guarantee that Global will always authorize and pay every
transaction. The payment of overdrafts under the programs is
a courtesy and is not a right or obligation. We may discontinue
overdraft programs for any account at any time without prior
notice and without reason or cause.
If an overdraft occurs on an account, we will notify you of the
amount paid, including any fees. You have fourteen (14) calendar
days to repay outstanding balances incurred as a result of an
overdraft. Failure to repay outstanding balances may result in
suspension of account services. You agree to immediately pay any
overdrawn amounts without notice or demand and, if in default,
all related collection costs and attorney’s fees.
a. Overdraft Protection. Overdraft Protection is a service that
automatically transfers funds from a savings share, money
market share, or credit line loan to cover overdrawn amounts in
a checking share within the same account. Overdraft Protection
applies to checks and ACH debits, and also signature-based debit
16
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
card transactions if the account is enrolled in Overdraft Services
for debit cards (described below).
Any authorized signatory may enroll an account in this service
by signing an “Agreement to Provide Overdraft Protection.” A
transfer fee will apply each day in which total transfers from a
savings or money market share or credit line loan exceed the limit
stated in the Schedule of Service Fees - Business. Transfers from a
credit line loan will be rounded up to the nearest $100 sufficient to
cover the overdrawn amount. If, for any reason, a credit line loan is
closed, overdraft protection from that source will be immediately
cancelled.
b. Overdraft Services for debit cards. Overdraft Services for debit
cards allows Global to pay signature-based debit card transactions
when the checking share account lacks sufficient available funds.
A tiered Negative Balance Fee will be charged each day that we
pay an item under Overdraft Services for debit cards and your
negative available balance is equal to or greater than $5.
Business accounts are automatically enrolled in Overdraft
Services for debit cards.
16.3. Nonsufficient Funds (NSF) Activity.
If available funds
are not in the account when a check, ACH debit, debit card
transaction, or other debit is presented for payment, and overdraft
programs are not available, the item will be returned unpaid.

Your ATM or Visa Debit Card must be signed
immediately upon receipt. The ATM or Visa Debit Card is the

and PIN to:
(1) Withdraw available funds in cash from your savings, checking,
or money market accounts.
(2) Obtain a cash advance from your established credit line loan to

Note:
All types of activities listed above may not be available at
all terminals. Types of EFT services (e.g., signature-based Visa
POS) may be changed or restricted without notice.
Limitation on Frequency and Dollar Amounts of Transfers:
The limits on the amount of funds you may withdraw or transfer
for goods and services purchased in any 24-hour period will
be disclosed to you separately in a written statement that will
accompany your ATM or Visa Debit Card. That statement is an
integral part of this disclosure statement and should be retained
by you. The limits may be increased without notice but may not
be decreased without appropriate notice. There is no limit on the
number of permissible transactions.
International Transactions:
If you use your Visa Debit Card
for purchases or cash advances in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, the transaction amount will be converted to U.S. dollars
by Visa International Inc. under their rules set forth from time to
time. Currently, the rules specify that the currency conversion
rate is a rate selected by Visa from the range of rates available in
wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing
date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or the
government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central
processing date. If a credit is subsequently given for a transaction
in a currency other than U.S. dollars and the credit have a different
processing date, then the converted amount of the credit may
be greater/less than the converted amount of the original
transaction. The currency conversion rate on the day before the
transaction processing date will be used and may differ from the
rate in effect at the time of the original transaction. By using your
Visa Debit Card, you agree to accept the converted amount in U.S.
dollars. Visa charges up to a 1% International Transaction Fee on all
Card transactions made at a location outside of the United States.
International transactions include internet transactions initiated in
the United States with a merchant who processes the transaction
outside of the United States. This fee is assessed by Visa on all
international purchases, credit vouchers, and cash disbursements,
whether or not a currency conversion is involved, and will appear
on your statement as a separate transaction in U.S. dollars.
Posting Your Transactions:
The time required to charge or
credit your account after you use your ATM or Visa Debit Card
may depend upon the location of the ATM or POS terminal that
you used, whether the terminal is an Global terminal, and the type
of transaction.
However, Visa signature-based POS purchases and cash advance
transactions may take one or more days to post to your account,
whereas transactions requiring a PIN are generally posted to the
account you designate on the day you use your ATM or Visa Debit
Card, assuming that deposited negotiable items are properly
drawn and endorsed.
You may not place a stop payment order on ATM and POS
transactions. All deposits are accepted subject to final collection.
Certain deposits may be placed on hold based upon the amount
deposited and the nature of the account relationship. If a hold is
placed, we will inform you of the amount, reason, and length of
time that the deposit will not be available for withdrawal.
Note:
If you request us to close or terminate your account or
card, you will remain liable for any EFT transactions you or an
authorized user made but which have not yet been posted to your
account, and for any subsequent EFT transactions performed by
you or an authorized user.
17.4. Online Banking Services.
Account Access:
If you have subscribed to online banking, you
may use your password to:
(1) Withdraw available funds by credit union check from your
savings, checking, or money market accounts.
(2) Make loan payments (including credit card and mortgage loan
payments) by transferring the payment from available funds in
your savings, checking, or money market accounts.
(3) Make payments to third parties enrolling in and using Bill Pay
service.
(4) Transfer available funds from your savings, checking, or money
market accounts or credit line loan to your savings, checking, or
money market accounts. Credit line transfers are subject to the
terms and conditions of the Credit Line Agreement.
Posting Your Transactions:
Your transactions will generally be
posted on the same day that you transact them, providing that the
funds are available in the designated account.
Note:
If you request us to terminate Online Banking Services, you
will remain liable for any EFT transactions you or an authorized
user made but which have not yet been posted to your account,
and for any subsequent EFT transactions performed by you or an
authorized user.
18
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
17.5. Electronic Check Transactions.
You may authorize a
third party to complete an electronic check transaction against
your checking account. This may occur by you providing a blank,
partially completed, or fully completed check, or by providing the
necessary information (account number and routing number, etc.)
concerning your checking account and may include computerized
bill payment services unless the service or payment to a particular
payee is expressly limited to payment by paper instrument. In
an electronic check transaction, the paper check will not be
presented to us for payment and the instrument may be retained
by you, by a merchant, or by another party.
17.6. Fees.
Global charges a monthly fee if you make any ACH
originations during a month. You will be charged additional
fees per ACH origination if you exceed allowed monthly ACH
originations. You will be charged a monthly fee for use of Business
Bill Pay. You will be charged a monthly fee for use of the Business
Remote Deposit service. Please refer to the Schedule of Service
Fees - Business for the current fees.
When you use an ATM not owned by Global, you may be charged a
fee by the ATM operator and/or network, and you may be charged
a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a funds
transfer. Third party fees may apply to additional services you use
through online banking, such as Bill Pay.
17.7. Confidentiality and Disclosure of Account
Information to Third Parties.
We will disclose information to
third parties about your account or the transfers you make:
(1) Where it is necessary for completing transfers; or
(2) In order to verify the existence and condition of your account
for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
(3) In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
(4) If you give us your written permission.
17.8. Questions About Your Electronic Transfers and
Errors, Loss, Theft, or Unauthorized Use of Card or
Account.
Notify us immediately at one of the telephone numbers
provided above in the “Contact Us” section if you believe your
Card or Code has been lost, stolen, or compromised, or if you
believe that an electronic funds transfer has been made without
your permission. You could lose all of the money in your account
(plus your maximum overdraft line of credit) if you do not notify
us promptly. Telephoning us immediately is the best way to
minimize your losses.
If you believe that an unauthorized ACH transaction has occurred,
you must notify us by 3 p.m. Alaska time the day after its posting
to your account in order to avoid liability. We may require you to
submit an affidavit of unauthorized activity in connection with
any such transaction immediately following your notice. Failure
to notify us by 3 p.m. of the day following the transaction may
prevent you from recovering any of the disputed amount.
Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Visa Debit Card:
Telephone us immediately if you learn of the unauthorized
use of your Visa Debit Card. Under Visa’s Zero Liability policy,
if a transaction was made with your Visa Debit Card or card
number without your permission, you will have no liability for
the transaction, unless you were fraudulent or negligent in the
handling of your account or card. ATM transactions, commercial
card transactions, and non-branded Visa PIN transactions are NOT
covered by the Zero Liability policy. If you do not notify us within
60 days after the unauthorized transaction first appears on your
periodic statement, you may be unable to recover any of the lost
funds.
Visa-branded cards may not be used for any illegal transaction.
Display of a Visa logo by an online merchant does not mean that
transactions are lawful in all jurisdictions in which cardholders
may be located.
17.9. Notices and Periodic Statements.
ATM or POS Terminal
Transfers: You can get a receipt at the time you perform a
transaction or make any transfer to or from your account using an
ATM or POS terminal.
Periodic Statements: You will receive a monthly account statement
(unless there are no transfers in a particular month; in any case,
you will get the statement at least quarterly) which will show
all electronic transfers that occurred, including direct deposit,
preauthorized payments, or online banking transactions involving
the use of your password and/or any transactions involving the
use of your ATM or Visa Debit Card and PIN.
17.10. Preauthorized ACH Transfers.
Preauthorized
Payments: Your account may be overdrawn for any preauthorized
payments which exceed funds available in the account.
Notice of Varying Amounts: If these payments will vary in amount,
the party being paid will advise you at least 10 days prior to each
transfer of the amount and date of the next payment. You may
choose instead to receive this notice only when the payment
would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous
payment or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that
you set.
Your Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So: If you
have informed us in advance to make regular payments from your
checking account (such as insurance payments), you can stop
any of these payments. Stop payment orders for preauthorized
transactions must be directed toward the third party from whom
you ordered the service or product. Call us at one of the telephone
numbers provided in section 1.2 “How to Contact Us” or write us
at the address provided in that section in time for us to receive
your stop payment order three business days or more before the
payment is scheduled to be made. Global may require verification
of revocation within 14 business days of the stop payment order.
If you contact us by telephone, we will require you to forward a
19
GCU 02454-D R 240502a
written order within 14 days after you call. We will charge our
standard stop payment fee for each stop payment order.
17.11. Credit Union’s Liability.
Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer:
If
you order us to stop payment on one of these payments three
business days or more before the payment is scheduled and we
do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Failure to Make Transfers:
If we do not complete a transfer to
or from your account on time or in the correct amount according
to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for actual damages
proved. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable,
for instance:
(1) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in
your account to make the transfer or the transfer would exceed
your available credit line.
(2) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood)
prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have
taken.
(3) If the ATM where you are making the transfer did not have
enough cash or if the ATM or POS terminal was not working
properly, and you knew about the breakdown when you started
the transfer.
(4) If the electronic device you used to access your account(s) was
not working properly.
(5) There may be other exceptions stated in our Agreement with
you.
17.12 ATM Safety.
For your safety, please follow these
precautions while using any ATM:
1. Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid poorly maintained or
poorly lighted locations. If you see anyone or anything suspicious,
leave the area immediately.
2. Be aware of your surroundings when using an ATM or night
deposit facility after dark.
3. Be prepared. Have your card ready before approaching the
ATM.
4. Shield the ATM keyboard with your body so that others cannot
observe you entering your PIN.
5. Cancel the transaction and put away your card if a suspicious
situation develops.
6. Put away your money and receipt right after the transaction is
complete. Count the cash later.
7. If you are followed after leaving an ATM, go to a heavily
populated, well-lighted area and call the police.
8. At drive-up ATMs, while waiting in line, keep the engine running,
the doors locked, and the windows up and leave enough room
between cars to allow for a quick exit, if necessary.
