Funds Availability

This disclosure describes your ability to withdraw funds at MidWest America Federal Credit Union. It only applies to the availability of funds in transaction accounts. The credit union reserves the right to delay the availability of funds deposited to accounts that are not transaction accounts for periods longer than those disclosed in this policy. Please ask us if you have a question about which accounts are affected by this policy.

General Policy. Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the same business day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash, and we can use the funds to pay share drafts you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit on a day we are not open, the deposit will be treated as if it were made on the next business day we are open.

Reservation of Right to Hold. In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the same business day that you make your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $225.00 of your deposit will be available on the same business day we receive your deposit. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the same day you make your deposit, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. If the 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 mail you the notice by the next business day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds would be available.

Holds on Other Funds. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it. If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Deposits at ATM machines. Funds from any deposits (cash or check) made at automated teller machines (ATMs) we own or operate will be available on the second business day after the day of deposit, except that the first $225.00 of deposits will be available on the day of deposit. Funds from any deposits (cash or check) made at (ATMs) we do not own or operate will have the same availability as if the machine were owned by MidWest America Federal Credit Union.

Longer Delays May Apply. We may delay your ability to withdraw funds deposited by check into your account an additional number of days for these reasons:

    • We believe a check you deposit will not be paid,
    • You deposit checks totaling more than $5,525 on any one day,
    • You re-deposit a check that has been returned unpaid,
    • You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months, or
    • There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer 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.

Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first thirty days your account is open. Deposits of traveler’s checks, cash, wire transfers and electronic funds made to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. If you are depositing checks, funds may be available under certain conditions. If you need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds would be available.

Foreign Checks. Checks drawn on financial institutions located outside the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds for deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institution that the check is drawn on.

Remote Deposit Capture (RDC). Check deposits utilizing RDC will generally be available after a two business day hold, except that the first $225.00 will be available on the day of deposit.

Mobile Remote Deposit Services Agreement & Image Collection

PLEASE NOTE: ALL CHECKS MUST BE ENDORSED WITH SIGNATURE AND THE WORDS FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY 

Mobile Deposit is designed to allow you to make deposits of checks ("original checks") to your accounts from home or other remote locations by scanning the original checks and delivering the digital images and associated deposit information ("images") to us or our processor with your Mobile Device. Please note, business account members may incur a fee to utilize this service.

Limits. We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.

Eligible items. You agree to scan and deposit only checks (i.e., drafts drawn on a credit union, savings and loan or bank and payable on demand.)

You agree that you will not use Mobile Deposit to deposit:

  • Checks payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., payable to another party and then endorsed to you).

  • Checks payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the account.

  • Checks that contain evidence of alteration, or that you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn.

Requirements. Each image must provide all information on the front and back of the original check at the time presented to you by the drawer, including, but not limited to, information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the original check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the original check and any endorsements applied to the back of the original check. The image quality must meet the standards established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

Endorsements must be made on the back of the share draft or check within 1½ inches from the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Your endorsement must include your signature and "via mobile deposit.” Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

A check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees. If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the check is made payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the check.

Receipt of Deposit. All images processed for deposit through Mobile Deposit will be treated as "deposits" under your current Account Agreement with us and will be subject to all terms of the Account Agreement. When we receive an image, we will confirm receipt via email to you. We shall not be deemed to have received the image for deposit until we have confirmed receipt to you. Confirmation does not mean that the image contains no errors. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

Following receipt, we may process the image by preparing a "substitute check" or clearing the item as an image.

We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any image for remote deposit into your account. We will notify you of rejected images.

Original checks. After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original check for 60 calendar days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within 10 calendar days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it "VOID" and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destructionAfter destruction of an original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check.

You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.

Returned Deposits. Any credit to your account for checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is provisional. If original checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the image, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.

We may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.

  • Each image is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the check has no defense against payment of the check.

  • The amount, payee(s), signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the image and on the original check are legible, genuine, and accurate.

  • You will not deposit or otherwise endorse to a third party the original check and no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the original check or a paper or electronic representation of the original check such that the person will be asked to make payment based on an item that has already been paid.

Bill Payer Terms & Conditions

This is your bill paying agreement with MWAFCU. You may use MWAFCU’s bill paying service, MidWest Bill Payer, to direct MWAFCU to make payments from your designated “checking” account to the Payee you choose in accordance with this agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition to the Account agreements, disclosures and other documents in effect from time to time governing your Account.
In this agreement, “you” or “your” means each person who signs the bill paying enrollment form or is otherwise authorized to use the Service.  “Payee” means anyone you designate and MWAFCU accepts as a payee.

Service Fees
Refer to the fee schedule available at any of our MWAFCU locations or request a copy by contacting a Customer Service Representative.  All fees assessed to cover the cost of expedited payments or gift pays will be disclosed accordingly.

Setting Up Payees & Payments
Payees:  If you want to add a new “Payee,” first select the “Payee” tab located in the bill pay or speak to a service representative.
Payments: You may add a new payment to a “Payee” by accessing the service and entering the appropriate information.
You may pay any “Payee” with-in the United States (including U.S. territories and APO’s/AEO’s). MWAFCU is not responsible for payments that cannot be made due to incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information.

Bill Payment Process
The system will calculate the Estimated Arrival date of your payment.  This is only an estimate, so please allow ample time for your payments to reach your “Payees”

Single Payments: 
MWAFCU will process single payments on the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except holidays) you designate the bill is to be processed, provided the payment request is received prior to the cut-off time set by MWAFCU, which is currently 4:00 p.m. EST.  Single payment requests received after the business day cut off time, or at any time on a non-business day will be processed on the next business day.  MWAFCU reserves its right to change the cut-off time by giving you notice if it changes. 

Recurring Payments:
When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically rescheduled by the system.  Based upon your selected frequency setting for the payment, a processing date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment.  If the calculated processing date is a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays), it is adjusted based upon the following rules:

  • If the recurring payment’s “Pay Before” option is selected, the processing date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date prior to the calculated processing date.

  • If the recurring payment’s “Pay After” option is selected, the processing date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date after the calculated processing date.

NOTE: If your frequency setting for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as a particular day of the month for processing and the day does not exist in the month of the calculated processing date, then the last calendar day for that month is used as the calculated processing date.

Some Bill payments are processed by Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT).  Please see the Electronic Fund Transfers Disclosure Statement provided when you opened your account, which discloses important information concerning your rights and obligations.

Canceling Payment
A bill payment can be changed or canceled any time “prior to” the cutoff time on the scheduled processing date.

Available Funds
When you have scheduled a payment, you authorize MWAFCU to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf. You certify that your Payment Account is an account from which you are authorized to make payments and any payment you make will be debited from this account. You also authorize the credit of returned payments from using the Bill Pay Service. You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in the account you designate in amounts sufficient to pay for all Bill Payments requested, as well as, any other payment obligations you have to MWAFCU. MWAFCU reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reverse a Bill Payment if you fail to comply with this requirement or any other terms of this agreement. If you do not have sufficient funds in the Account and MWAFCU has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a Bill Payment, you agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand. You further agree MWAFCU, at its option, may charge any of your accounts with MWAFCU to cover such payment obligations.

The Bill Pay Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Payee.

Liability

MWAFCU is not liable for any act, failure to act or delay in acting if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond MWAFCU's reasonable control.

The Bill Pay Service will incur no liability and a Service Guarantee shall be void if the Bill Pay Service is unable to complete any payments initiated because of any of the following:

1. You have not provided the Bill Pay Service with the correct payment account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee upon initiation of the payment; and/or,

2. Circumstances beyond the control of the Bill Pay Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Bill Pay Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances;

3. The payment-processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Bill Pay Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;

Returned Payments
In using the Service, you understand that the Service and/or the United States Postal Service may return payments for various reasons, such as, but not limited to, the Service account number is not valid; the Service is unable to locate account; or Payee account is paid in full. The Service will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account. You may receive notification from the Service.

MWAFCU has the right to terminate this Agreement at any time. You may terminate this Agreement by written notice to MWAFCU. MWAFCU is not responsible for any fixed payment made before MWAFCU has a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice. You remain obligated for any payments made by MWAFCU on your behalf.

Responsibility

Unauthorized Transactions
You should notify us immediately if you believe anyone has improperly obtained your password or if you suspect any fraudulent activity in your account(s). If your password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) business days of discovering the loss or misappropriation, you can lose no more than $50. If you do not tell us within the two (2) business day period, you could lose as much as $500 if we could have stopped the use of your accounts had we received notice in a timely manner. You should contact us, or the bill payment provider, as applicable, as soon as you identify any errors or discrepancies in your statement or transaction record, or if you need any information about a transaction listed on the statement or transaction record. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we have sent the first statement on which the problem or error appeared (If you notify us verbally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing or electronically within ten (10) business days). If you fail to notify us within the sixty (60) day period, you may not recover any of the money you lost if we can establish that the loss could have been avoided had you notified us on time. We may extend these time periods for good reasons such as out-of-town travel or extended hospital stays. If you believe your login ID or password have been lost or stolen or that someone has access to your account without your permission, call (800) 348-4738 (nationwide) or, (260) 482-3334 (Fort Wayne) between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, or write: MidWest America Federal Credit Union; 1104 Medical Park Drive; Fort Wayne, IN 46825.

When you report a problem or discrepancy, please: (i) tell us your name and account number; (ii) describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about, and explain why you believe it is in error or what additional information you need; (iii) tell us the dollar amount of any suspected error; and (iv) for a bill payment, tell us the number of the account used to pay the bill, the applicable payee name and account number, the date the payment was sent, the payment amount and the payment reference number. Generally speaking, we will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, after we hear from you. However, we may take up to forty-five (45) days, or ninety (90) days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, to investigate your complaint or question. In this case, we may provisionally credit your account so that you have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If you fail to provide your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days of a request from us to do so, we reserve the right to not credit your account. If we confirm an error, we will correct your account record within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point of sale or international transaction. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after we conclude our investigation and will debit any interim amounts credited to your account. You may request copies of any documents that we use in our investigation.

FI to FI Transfers Agreement and Disclosure

General Description
Within Online Banking, you have the option of participating in the Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service allows you to transfer funds between your personal deposit checking accounts at MidWest America Federal Credit Union and certain deposit or investment accounts owned by you at other U.S. financial institutions

An inbound transfer moves funds into an account you own at MidWest America Federal Credit Union from an account you own outside MidWest America Federal Credit Union. An outbound transfer moves funds from an account you own at MidWest America Federal Credit Union to an account outside MidWest America Federal Credit Union that is owned by you.

Please read this Agreement and Disclosure carefully. It includes your rights and obligations, as well as those of MidWest America Federal Credit Union. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition to the account agreements, disclosures, fee schedules, and other documents in effect from time to time governing your account(s).

By enrolling and/or using the Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You also acknowledge by using this Service that you have downloaded, printed, or otherwise received a copy of the terms and conditions and that you understand them.
Your initial use of the Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service constitutes your acceptance and agreement to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and by all other MidWest America Federal Credit Union Documents relating to your accounts and acknowledge your receipt and understanding of this Agreement.

Enrollment/Eligibility
You must be enrolled in Online Banking Services to use the Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service. The Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service is not available for some accounts, such as irrevocable trust accounts, custodial accounts, guardianship accounts, etc.
You must be at least 18 years of age, and you must have a valid Social Security Number in order to request the Financial Institution to Financial Institution Service.

Your MidWest America Federal Credit Union account(s) must be in good standing.

You will need to provide certain identifying information about each non-MidWest America Federal Credit Union account in order to register that account for this service. You agree that you will only attempt to register non-MidWest America Federal Credit Union personal accounts that you own and for which you have the authority to transfer funds.

Before you can begin making transfers to or from an account held at another financial institution, the account you wish to use must be verified to prove that you are authorized to transact. Your external account will receive two small ACH credits for an undisclosed amount and one debit that balances the transaction. You will need to enter the amount of each credit in the FI Transfer Section in order to complete the verification process.

Transaction Routing and Compliance
You agree that MidWest America Federal Credit Union may use any means or routes, which we in our sole discretion consider suitable to execute your transfer.

You agree that all transfers will be subject to applicable U.S. federal laws and regulations, Federal Reserve operating circulars governing payment orders, and National Automated Clearing House Association rules.

Initiating and Scheduling Transfers
After the verification process is complete, you may begin establishing transfers.
Transfers can be scheduled on either a one-time or a recurring basis. Processing of one-time transfers may be initiated immediately or scheduled for initiation on a future date. Transfers may be scheduled in advance. The recurring transfer feature may be used when a set amount is transferred at regular intervals. For example, you may schedule a $500 transfer from an account you own at another financial institution to your MidWest America Federal Credit Union checking account every other week on a specified weekday.

For one-time and recurring transfers you will be asked to select the date that you want us to initiate the processing of the transfer. Generally, transfers will post to the account on the next business day following the day in which the transfer was scheduled or initiated. For example, if a transaction was scheduled for Monday, the transfer would begin processing on Monday afternoon and post to your account on Tuesday. If an immediate transfer was scheduled for Friday before 3:00 PM ET, the transfer would begin processing on Friday afternoon and post to your account on Monday.

One-time future-dated or recurring transfers scheduled for a weekend or a non-business day will be processed on the next business day.

Cut-off Time: The cut-off time for transfers is 3:00 PM ET. Any transfer entered after this time will be considered as being initiated on the next business day.

Business Days: Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Dollar and Transaction Limits
Daily Inbound Transfer Limits: A maximum of three transfers from another financial institution to a MidWest America Federal Credit Union account can be scheduled for a given week. The maximum total dollar amount for transfers from other financial institutions to a MidWest America Federal Credit Union account is $1,500.00 per day.

Daily Outbound Transfer Limits: A maximum number of three transfers from MidWest America Federal Credit Union accounts to accounts held at other financial institutions can be scheduled for a given week. The maximum total dollar amount for transfers from MidWest America Federal Credit Union to other financial institutions is $1,500.00 per day.

Dollar limits may be adjusted at any time by MidWest America Federal Credit Union based on your account transactions, and such other factors that MidWest America Federal Credit Union may determine to apply. You agree that in the event that we determine that there are risks associated with a Financial Institution to Financial Institution transfer or if we determine that you no longer qualify for this service, we may delay or cancel any transfer, or request that you contact us to provide additional details on the transfer before it is initiated or funds are released.

Monthly Limit: The Federal Reserve Regulation D limit on the frequency of savings account transactions of six per month also applies. You may make no more than six transfers from a savings account per calendar month or statement cycle.

We will use the date the transaction is scheduled to occur (as opposed to the date you initiate it) to apply these limitations.

Questions regarding the dollar or transaction limit relating to a specific transfer should be directed to a Member Service Representative at (260) 482-3334 or (800) 348-4738.

Processing Transfers
A transfer remains “In Process” until fully processed. Transfers will show as pending after the cutoff time and the transaction has begun to process.

You agree that we may cancel a transfer, without prior notice, in the event that:

  • Any of your accounts with MidWest America Federal Credit Union are not in good standing. 
  • You have had an overdraft, an over-limit item, or an item returned for insufficient funds with respect to any MidWest America Federal Credit Union deposit account during the last three months. 
  • You have had any prior transfer canceled, revoked, or uncompleted due to reasons such as insufficient funds, revoked authorization, stopped payments, or frozen account.

MidWest America Federal Credit Union will not be liable to you if we do not provide notice to you of rejection of a transfer.

Inbound Transfers
For inbound transfers, you agree that you will only attempt to register non-MidWest America Federal Credit Union personal accounts that you own or for which you have the authority to transfer funds.

Generally, inbound one-time immediate transfers established before 3:00 p.m. ET post the next business day. Immediate transfers established after the cutoff time post in two business days.

Outbound Transfers
You agree that you will have sufficient available funds in the designated deposit account to cover all outbound transfers on the date scheduled. If the deposit account does not have sufficient available funds on the scheduled date, we may elect not to initiate one or more of the transfers. If we do elect to initiate the transfer, it may cause an overdraft in your account in which case you will be liable for any overdraft and NSF fees, as set forth in your account agreement and the MidWest America Federal Credit Union Fee Schedule. The fact that we may honor outbound transfer requests that overdraw the available account balance does not obligate us to do so later. Regardless of whether or not we elect to initiate the transfer, you agree to pay all related NSF fees as disclosed in your account agreement and fee schedule.
Generally, outbound one-time immediate transfers established before 3:00 p.m. ET post the next business day. Immediate transfers established after the cutoff time post in two business days.

Cancelling Transfers
Subject to the limitations included herein, you can cancel one-time future-dated and recurring transfers prior to processing by selecting the transfer in the “Scheduled Transfers” area of Digital Banking, and then pressing the “Remove transfer” link.

You cannot cancel transfers that are processed. We may, however, at our option attempt to cancel the transaction.
While the easiest way to cancel a transfer is through the above-described method, you may request to cancel a one-time future-dated or recurring transfer by calling us at (260) 482-3334 or (800) 348-4738. If you call, we may also require you to submit your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days. You may not call and cancel an In Process or Processed transfer.

Transfer and Related Fees
You agree to pay all transfer and related fees, e.g., NSF, stop payment, and research fees, as published from time to time in the MidWest America Federal Credit Union Fee Schedule.

Limitation on Liability
MidWest America Federal Credit Union is not responsible for any failure on your part or the part of another financial institution, including but not limited to a failure to act in a timely manner.

We may refuse and are not liable for any transfer request that you attempt by any method we do not specifically permit, which exceeds the frequency permitted, or which is for an amount outside of any transfer limitations. Even if we honor a nonconforming request, we may treat continued abuse of the stated limitations as your act of discontinuing the Service. The Credit Union may refuse any withdrawal request against unavailable or non-sufficient funds. The fact that we may honor withdrawal requests that overdraw the available account balance does not obligate us to do so later.

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 who opens an account.

What this means for you: when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying document.

CAA
