IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal Law requires All financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person that opens an account.
What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address date of birth, and other Information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your state or federal government issued driver’s license or other identifying documents. We will also require your social security number and proof of address if not updated on the photo identification.
Regulation D is a directive of the Federal government that is imposed on all financial institutions (banks and credit unions). To maintain compliance with Regulation D, the credit union places a quarterly limit on certain kinds of transfers and/or withdrawals from savings accounts. Savings/Share accounts are non-transactional deposit accounts. At Brazos Star CU, deposit accounts include all savings/share accounts and certificates of deposit. Collectively, these accounts are referred to as savings accounts.
Transactions that count toward the Regulation D limit include the following, but are essentially any transaction that is not done in person or at an ATM.
Members are allowed a total of six of the above listed transactions per quarter, per account.*
In any given quarter, you are limited to no more than six preauthorized, automatic, electronic or telephone transfers from a deposit account governed by Regulation D. You are allowed up to six Regulation D transactions per quarter for each of your deposit accounts. If you exceed these limitations, your transaction may be refused or reversed, and your account may be subject to a fee or closed. The credit union also reserves the right to take other action as necessary to ensure compliance.
If you arrange for automatic withdrawals from your Share/Savings for a utility or subscription service, etc., these transactions are impacted by Regulation D. To avoid this, please set up all automatic withdrawals to come out of your checking account.
*Transfers/withdrawals done in-person at the credit union, including lobby and ATM transactions, are not affected by the Regulation. Therefore, the fee will not apply to such transactions. A fee may be charged if the number of transactions that count toward the Regulation D limit exceeds six in a quarter. Please consult our current Rates and Fees Schedule for more information on fees.
These are transactions that are not considered Regulation D Transactions
Deposits to Savings are not limited – the purpose of a Share/Savings account is to put money into the account. Regulation D only limits withdrawals from Share/Savings.
Regulation D transactions must be limited to six (6) or less per month. Some options include:
