REWARD CHECKING & PREMIUM SAVER ACCOUNTS
TRUTH IN SAVINGS ACT DISCLOSURE
This disclosure contains the terms, conditions and rules associated with opening and maintaining your Reward Checking, and Premium Saver accounts, as appropriate, as May 20, 2025. The information herein applies at account opening and if you (a) change your account or (b) if you add Premium Saver to your Reward Checking account, provided our rates and rewards have not changed since the date listed above. Please check our website or visit with one of our customer service representatives for updated rates and account information. Please keep this disclosure for your records and future reference.
OVERVIEW OF OUR REWARD ACCOUNTS:
Real Rewards: A free, variable rate reward checking account with no minimum balance requirements, that rewards accountholders with nationwide ATM withdrawal fee/surcharge refunds and cash back on their debit card purchases each time they meet their account’s minimum qualifications during a Monthly Qualification Cycle.
Premium Checking: A free, variable rate checking account with no minimum balance requirements, that rewards accountholders with nationwide ATM withdrawal fee/surcharge refunds and high interest each time they meet their account’s minimum qualifications during a Monthly Qualification Cycle.
Premium Saver: A free, variable rate, savings account with no minimum balance requirements, that rewards accountholders with interest each time they meet their linked Reward Checking account’s minimum qualifications during a Monthly Qualification Cycle. In addition, rewards earned in your linked Reward Checking account are automatically added to your Premium Saver account to help you save.
Collectively, Real Rewards and Premium Checking may be referred to, in singular or plural form, as “Reward Checking” account(s) within this disclosure.
PURPOSE AND EXPECTED USE OF ACCOUNT:
Account Expectations: Our institution expects the accountholder to use their selected Reward Checking account as their primary checking account in which payroll transactions and day-to-day spending activities including but not limited to grocery, gasoline, apparel, shopping, dining, sporting, and entertainment transactions are posted and settled. Commensurate with these spending activities, we expect the account's debit card to be used frequently throughout the entirety of each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range.
Examples of Inappropriate Use: Small debit card transactions conducted on the same day at a single merchant and/or multiple transactions made during a condensed time period particularly near the end of a Monthly Qualification Cycle are not considered normal, day-to-day spending behavior. For example, five debit card transactions, each for a dollar, conducted at a convenience store, two days before the end of the cycle would not be considered by our institution as normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions, and other activities that appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account's rewards, will be deemed inappropriate transactions and may not count toward earning the account's rewards. Accountholders who persist in making debit card transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet their monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different checking account or closed altogether.
Our Rights: Our institution has the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. We also reserve the right to analyze your account activity to determine: (a) if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day primary use; (b) if debit card activities are being executed solely for the purpose of earning the account's rewards and (c) if another account might better serve your banking needs and activities. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account, one that may or may not include a monthly fee, if the account does not have consistent active use (defined by our institution as having a minimum of 12 debit card transactions post and settled each cycle period) over 3 consecutive Statement Cycles.
Ramifications of Account Closure: Our decision to close the account will not affect your existing obligations to us including any obligation to pay fees or charges incurred prior to termination. No deposits will be accepted, and no checks will be paid after the account is closed. If the account is closed, you will forfeit any rewards that have not been credited to your account. A check from our institution for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to accountholder at the address indicated on our current records. Upon termination of your Reward Checking account, any optional add-on products / services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.
If, for whatever reason, your Reward Checking account is closed, your Premium Saver account will automatically be converted to a standalone savings account and its associated terms and conditions will apply. If for whatever reason, your Premium Saver account is closed, then only the appropriate Reward Checking account information within this disclosure will apply.

We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees/surcharges, imposed by other financial institutions, based on estimates when the withdrawal information we receive does not identify the specific ATM withdrawal fee/surcharge. If you have not received an appropriate reimbursement, we will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive a transaction receipt within sixty (60) calendar days of the withdrawal transaction.
