ATM CARD

You may use your Card and Personal Identification Number/Password (PIN) in automated teller machines of the FRB FCU, Star, and Cirrus Networks and such other machines or facilities as the FRB FCU may designate. You agree that you will not use your Card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Funds to cover your Card purchases will be deducted from your share draft account. If the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction amount, the FRB FCU will pay the amount and treat the transaction as a request to transfer funds from approved overdraft protection accounts, line of credit loan accounts, or other share accounts that you have established with the FRB FCU. If you initiate a transaction that overdraws your account, you agree to make immediate payment of any overdrafts together with any service charges to the FRB FCU. In the event of repeated overdrafts, the FRB FCU may terminate all services under this Agreement.

You may use your Card to perform the following ATM and Point of Sale (POS) transactions:

  • Withdraw funds from your share and share draft accounts.
  • Transfer funds from your share and share draft, and Cu-Line accounts.
  • Make balance inquiries.

The following limitations on the frequency and amount of ATM transactions may apply:

  • You may make up to fifteen (15) Cash Withdrawals from an ATM Machine in any one day. You may withdraw up to a maximum of $310.00 from an ATM machine in any one day if there are sufficient available funds in your account.
  • You may make up to fifteen (15) Point of Sale (POS) Transactions in any one day. You may make POS transactions up to $310.00 in any one day if there are sufficient available funds in your account.
  • The maximum aggregate ATM and POS Withdrawals and Transactions you may make in one day is $310.00.
  • For security purposes, there may be other limits on the frequency and amount of transfers available at ATMs.
  • Transfer limitations that may apply to these transactions are listed in this brochure.

Because of servicing schedules and processing time required in ATM transactions, there could be a delay between the time a deposit (either cash or check) is made and when it will be available for withdrawal. You should review the FRB FCU's Funds Availability Policy to determine the availability of funds deposited.

Audio Teller

You may use Audio Teller (an audio response service) to access your accounts via a touch-tone telephone. Service will be available for your convenience twenty-four (24) hours per day. This service may be interrupted for a short time each day for data processing. If we approve the Audio Teller access service for your accounts, a separate personal identification number/password (PIN) will be assigned to you. You must use your PIN along with your account number to access your accounts. This PIN will also enable access to the Net Teller Program.

At the present time, you may use the audio response access service to:

  • Withdraw funds by check from your share and share draft accounts.
  • Transfer funds from your share and share draft accounts.
  • Obtain balance information.
  • Make loan payments from your share and share draft accounts.
  • Access your CU Line of Credit.
  • Determine if a particular item has cleared.
  • Verify the last date and amount of your deposits.

Transfer limitations that may apply to these transactions are listed in this brochure. All withdrawal checks are payable to you as a primary member and will be mailed to your address of record. The FRB FCU reserves the right to refuse any transaction which would draw upon insufficient funds, exceed a credit limit, lower an account below a required balance, or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account. We may set other limits on the amount of any transaction, and you will be notified of those limits. We may refuse to honor any transaction for which you do not have sufficient available verified funds.

The service will discontinue if no transaction is entered after numerous unsuccessful attempts to enter a transaction, and there may be limits on the duration of each telephone call.

Direct Deposit and Automated Clearing (ACH) Items
Direct Deposit

Upon instruction of (i) your employer or (ii) the Treasury Department or (iii) other financial institutions, the FRB FCU will credit Direct Deposits of your paycheck or federal recurring payments, such as Social Security and non recurring payments, such as tax rebates to your share or share draft account.

Preauthorized Debits

If the FRB FCU agrees upon your instruction, you may pay certain recurring transactions from your share draft account. Upon your instruction through another financial institution, you may make regular electronic payments from your share draft account.

If the regular payments vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you ten (10) days before each payment when it will be made and how much it will be.

The institution originating the ACH item will require the following ABA number for the FRB Federal Credit Union, ABA 254-074581, followed by the member's account number. The originating institution will encode the transmission to specify the type of account to be accessed (Checking/Savings).

Transfer limitations that may apply are listed on this website.

After the funds have been made available and are withdrawn from the account, members continue to be responsible for any item returned to the credit union as unpaid or for any other problems involving the deposit.

The FRB Federal Credit Union reserves the right to deny immediate availability on large deposits (pending confirmation that funds are present and available in the account on which the check is drawn), on new accounts, or on accounts in which there has been abuse of the credit union's policy of immediate availability. If the credit union exercises this right it will be communicated to the member at the time of deposit or by a letter dated as of the date of deposit.
