**The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) you receive will be within the range disclosed above and is based on credit history, the amount being financed, and the value of any included collateral. These rates assume full relationship for the term of the loan. Full relationship means that you have both direct deposit of your paycheck to your primary checking account and automatic payment of your loan from the same account. Add .50% if you have only one of these relationships; add 1.00% if you have neither. If the automatic payment from your checking account has non-sufficient funds three times in a row, the automatic payment will be canceled and the interest rate on the advance will be increased accordingly. The lowest APR listed for RVs and boats assumes 20% down for loans under $50,000 and is based on credit history.
***Term depends on amount being financed and age of collateral.

TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURES:
Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts :
1. Rate Information. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield on your accounts are variable and may change daily at the discretion and determination of the Credit Union. Today's rates are set forth above.
2. Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield set forth above are accurate as of the Date which the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period.
3. Compounding and Crediting. Dividends will be compounded and credited as set forth above. The dividend period for all dividend bearing accounts begins on the first calendar day of the dividend period and ends on the last calendar day of the dividend period as set forth above.
4. Accrual of Dividends. Dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account.
5. Balance Information. The minimum balance required to open each account is set forth above. For Primary Savings, Sub-Savings, Summer Savings, and Money Market Checking, the minimum balance required to obtain the stated Annual Percentage Yield is set forth above. If the minimum balance is not met, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For Check Plus and Money Market Checking accounts, the minimum balance requirement and dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. For all Savings accounts, dividends and the applicable minimum balance requirements are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is determined by adding the full amount of the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. For Check Plus checking accounts, a fee will be charged every month a $1,000 minimum balance is not maintained. For Business Economy Checking accounts, a monthly fee will be charged every month a $250 minimum balance is not maintained; for Business Basic Checking accounts, a monthly fee will be charged every month a $1,500 minimum balance is not maintained.

For Primary Savings, Sub-Savings, Summer Savings, and Money Market Checking accounts, transaction limitations will apply. No more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephone, Tele-Max, or E-Max transfers may be made from these accounts to another account of yours or to a third party in any calendar month. If you exceed these limitations, your accounts may be subject to a fee or be closed. For Money Marketing Checking accounts, the minimum withdrawal amount is $100 per transaction.
7. Privilege Pay Disclosure. WECU may pay, but is not obligated to pay, items that overdraw your account pursuant to section I.11 of the Membership and Account Agreement. We will notify you by mail if you qualify for Privilege Pay and the terms that will apply to you. WECU limits the amount by which your account may be overdrawn and will notify you of your limit.

TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURES
This Rate and Fee Schedule sets forth current conditions, rates, fees and charges applicable to your Certificate at Whatcom Educational Credit Union at this time. The Credit Union may offer other rates and fees or amend the rates and fees contained in this schedule from time to time. Each account holder agrees to the terms set forth on this Rate and Fee Schedule and acknowledges that it is a part of the Membership and Account Agreement.
Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts:
1. Rate Information. The Interest Rates and Annual Percentage Yields on your accounts are set forth on the reverse side. The Annual Percentage Yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of interest to be paid on an account based on the Interest Rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. The Interest Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the Account. The Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption that interest earnings will remain on deposit until maturity. The withdrawal of earned interest will reduce earnings.
2. Compounding and Crediting. Interest will be compounded and credited quarterly. The interest period begins on the first calendar day of the interest period and ends on the last calendar day of the interest period. Exception: certificates with a six-month term are compounded and credited only once, upon maturity.
3. Balance Information. The minimum balances required to open each account are set forth on the reverse side. Interest is calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
4. Accrual of Interest Earnings. Interest begins to accrue on cash and noncash deposits on the business day you make the deposit to your account.
5. Transaction Limitations. After your account is opened, you may not make additional deposits to your account. You may withdraw accrued, uncredited interest upon the crediting date.
6. Aggregate Deposits. The aggregate deposits you may have in all credit union accounts is $5,000,000 unless you obtain specific approval from the VP/CFO.
7. Maturity. Your account will mature within the term set forth above or maturity date set forth on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice.
8. Early Withdrawal Penalty. We must impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.
a. Amount of Penalty. The amount of the early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. The penalty is as follows: for terms of 6 months-90 days’ interest; for terms of 12 months to 36 months-180 days’ interest; for terms of 48 months to 60 months-360 days interest, based on the current applicable Interest Rate and the total amount of the withdrawal.
b. How the Penalty Works. The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the interest that has been earned or as a forfeiture of the principal of the account.
c. Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties. At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances:
i. When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction.
ii. Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment or where the account is an IRA and the owner attains age 59½ or becomes disabled.
9. Renewal Policy. At account opening, you may elect to have a nonrenewable or automatically renewable account. For renewal accounts, your account will automatically renew for another term upon maturity, and you have a grace period of ten (10) days after maturity in which to withdraw funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. For nonrenewal accounts, you will receive interest until the account is transferred to another account of yours or paid to you by check.
10. Nontransferable/Nonnegotiable. Your account is nontransferable and nonnegotiable. The funds in your account may not be pledged to secure any obligation of an owner, except obligations with the Credit Union.
The rates appearing in the Schedule on the reverse side are accurate and effective for certificate accounts as of the Effective Date indicated.
