All member accounts at the Credit Union are subject to the following rules. Accounts include Share, Share Draft, Club and Share Certificate Accounts. Your accounts are not negotiable and are not transferable except on our books. By signing the membership card, you agree to these rules.
Please see our Membership and Account Agreement here.
Dividends (other than dividends on Share Certificate Accounts) are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves, at the end of the dividend period. Dividend rates are declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion based on market conditions and are not tied to a specific index. The rates on all Credit Union accounts (other than Share Certificate Accounts) are variable and may change quarterly after the account is opened. The Board has declared that no dividends will be paid on Share Draft Checking Accounts. The dividend rate and annual percentage yield shown for Share accounts are declared by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.*Dividend Rates on all Share accounts can be found here.
The minimum deposit to open a Share Certificate Account is $500.00. The dividend rate and annual percentage yield shown below for Share Certificate Accounts are accurate as of the Tuesday of every week (unless Monday is a holiday). You can call (585) 343-5627 or click here to obtain current rate information. The dividend rate will be fixed for the term of your Share Certificate Account. Deposits will be allowed only on the date the Share Certificate Account is opened and on each renewal date, with the exception of the Asset Builder Certificate (when available) into which you can make additions of $50.00 or more at any time. The Maturity Date of your Share Certificate Account is determined at the date of opening the account. If the maturity date is a Saturday, Sunday, or Credit Union holiday, we will pay dividends at the previous rate until the first banking day next succeeding the original maturity date, and that will be deemed the new maturity date. Your Share Certificate Account will not automatically renew. If you do not renew it, the entire balance will be deposited in your Share 0 account and will earn dividends at the rate in effect for Share 0 accounts. Share Certificate Accounts are NOT TRANSFERABLE and may not be used as collateral for any loan.
You must maintain a minimum balance of $5.00 in your Primary Share Savings Account at all times to be a Credit Union member and to open other sub-accounts and receive other benefits and services of the Credit Union. You must be 18 years of age to establish and maintain a Share Draft Checking account. If you are under 18 years of age, we will require that a joint member 18 years or older be added to the account.
Balance Computation Method Dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance Method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in your account as of the end of each day. The periodic rate is determined by dividing the dividend rate by 365 (or 366 in a leap year).
Dividends will begin to accrue on cash and non-cash items on the business day you make the deposit to your account.
Dividends for all accounts other than Share Certificate Accounts will be paid and credited to your account quarterly and, therefore, will compound quarterly. For Share Certificate Accounts, the dividends will be deposited in your Certificate account monthly and, therefore will compound monthly, unless you either elect to have the dividend transferred to your Share 0 account monthly (in which case the dividends will compound quarterly) or you choose to have a check for dividends sent to you monthly (in which case the dividends will not compound). For Share 2 Club accounts, the entire balance will be transferred to the Share 0 account on July 1st. For Share 7 accounts, the balance will be transferred to any sub-account located under the member number.
If you close an account other than a Share Certificate before dividends are paid, you will not receive any accrued dividends. If you close a Share Certificate account before its maturity date, we will impose an early withdrawal penalty which will equal 90 days of earned dividends on certificates with maturities of 365 days or less, and 180 days of earned dividends on certificates with maturities greater than 365 days.
For all accounts (other than Share Draft Accounts) – The Credit Union reserves the right to require up to 60 days prior written notice of an intent to withdraw money from one of your accounts (other than your Share Draft Account). In addition, the Credit Union may refuse to permit a withdrawal from any account for, without limitation, the following reasons:
In addition to the above rules, withdrawals from Club Accounts will not be permitted until the account matures. However, you may close the account at any time without penalty. The account must remain closed until the beginning of the next Club cycle (for Share 2 accounts, July 1 and for Share 7 accounts, October 1).
As of January 1st, 2012, Financial Institutions may no longer purchase savings bonds for their Members. Instead, savings bonds may be purchased from TreasuryDirect at www.treasurydirect.gov. As a result, Bond-A-Month suffixes may no longer be opened at TVFCU.
Each joint owner of an account authorizes the other to endorse and to deposit in the account checks or drafts payable to either owner or to both. Each of you authorizes the Credit Union to accept deposits payable to either of you or both and to endorse for you any items deposited without endorsement.
In the event of a dispute between owners of a joint account, the Credit Union is not required to honor requests by one owner to prevent withdrawals by the other. The Credit Union has no liability for continuing to honor draft and withdrawal requests. In order to prevent withdrawals for your joint account, you must close the account. You may immediately open a new account in your name only. If you close a joint account, you agree to return to the Credit Union all drafts in your possession which have not yet been issued.
Each joint owner alone may make partial or full withdrawals from the account, may write drafts on Share Draft Checking Accounts, may issue stop payment orders on drafts written by either or both owners, may close out the account, and may transact any other business an individual owner could transact.
You both agree that you intend to own the money in your joint account as “joint tenants with right of survivorship.” This means that if one of you dies, ownership of the funds in the account passes automatically to the other, and the Credit Union may honor draft or withdrawal requests signed by the survivor. The Credit Union will not release funds to the survivor, however, until it has received any necessary legal papers.
If there are not enough funds in your joint account to cover a draft when it is presented to the Credit Union for payment, and the Credit Union pays the draft out of its own funds, all joint owners agree individually and collectively to reimburse the Credit Union, even if the draft was written by only one of you. Likewise, if one of you owes the Credit Union money, you all agree that the Credit Union may use as much of the funds in any account owned by both of you, as is necessary to pay the debt. In addition, if your joint account is restrained or levied upon by a judgment creditor to whom one of you owes money, you agree that the Credit Union may restrain and/or turn over the entire account without liability to the other.
Each joint owner of a joint Share Savings Account is authorized to access information regarding the account, any sub-accounts or loans tied to the account. That applies even if a loan tied to the account is in the name of only one of the owners of the Share Savings Account.
Special Rules for Share Draft Accounts
Only Share Drafts (checks) and other methods approved by the Credit Union may be used to make withdrawals from a Share Draft Account. The Credit Union may honor (pay) Share Drafts or other written withdrawal requests: which you sign: which are issued by a third-party bill payer at your request and with your authorization; or which is issued by a third party which you have pre-authorized to make debits to your account, even if you did not authorize the particular transaction (subject to your Stop Payment rights described below). (Preauthorized electronic debits to your account are not subject to these rules but, rather, are subject to the terms of the Credit Union’s electronic funds transfer disclosures and agreements.) Once a check is six (6) months old, the Credit Union may elect not to pay it. If there is no stop payment order in effect when we receive the check payment, however, we may elect to pay it. If we do pay the check, you are responsible for the payment. You agree not to write post-dated checks (a check that is dated in the future) on your account. We can assume that all checks presented are payable on demand. We will not be liable to you for paying a post-dated check prior to its maturity date. When paid, Share Drafts become the property of the Credit Union and will not be returned either with the periodic statement or otherwise.
Balance Computation Method Dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance Method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in your account as of the end of each day. The periodic rate is determined by dividing the dividend rate by 365 (or 366 in a leap year).
Dividends will begin to accrue on cash and non-cash items on the business day you make the deposit to your account.
Dividends for all accounts other than Share Certificate Accounts will be paid and credited to your account quarterly and, therefore, will compound quarterly. For Share Certificate Accounts, the dividends will be deposited in your Certificate account monthly and, therefore will compound monthly, unless you either elect to have the dividend transferred to your Share 0 account monthly (in which case the dividends will compound quarterly) or you choose to have a check for dividends sent to you monthly (in which case the dividends will not compound). For Share 2 Club accounts, the entire balance will be transferred to the Share 0 account on July 1st. For Share 7 accounts, the balance will be transferred to any sub-account located under the member number.
If you close an account other than a Share Certificate before dividends are paid, you will not receive any accrued dividends. If you close a Share Certificate account before its maturity date, we will impose an early withdrawal penalty which will equal 90 days of earned dividends on certificates with maturities of 365 days or less, and 180 days of earned dividends on certificates with maturities greater than 365 days.

Terms and Conditions Agreement for Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Bill Pay Service. Note: All references within this document to the terms "Payment Service" and/or "the Service" reflect the Internet Bill Pay Service offered by Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union. Electronic Disclosure of the Terms and Conditions Agreement for the Internet Bill Pay Service.
I acknowledge electronic receipt of the Terms and Conditions Agreement ("Agreement") associated with Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union's Internet Bill Pay Service and agree that I have read and will abide by this agreement. I also agree Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union does not need to provide me with an additional paper (non-electronic) copy of this Agreement unless specifically requested. Further, I understand that a copy of this Agreement can be printed by using my browser's print command and a printer.
Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union reserves the right to refuse enrollment in the Internet Bill Pay Service to any member who does not meet the Internet Bill Pay Service criteria which has been established by Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union. Included in this criteria is a requirement that subscribers to this service must live within the United States, its possessions and territories.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Payee" means the vendor, biller, person or entity to whom you wish a bill payment to be directed; "Payment Instructions" means the information provided by you to the Service for a bill payment to be made to your Payee (e.g., Payee name, account number, payment amount, payment date, etc.); "Payment Account" means your Checking Account and, in the instance of non-sufficient funds and/or an overdrawn account, any applicable share account or available balance on line of credit accounts (e.g., line of credit overdraft accounts) at Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union, from which all bill payments may be made and/or such funds collected; "Business Day" means Sunday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays; "Payment Date" means the Business Day of your choice upon which your bill payment will be made and your Payment Account will be debited; and "Cutoff Time" means approximately 10 minutes before your designated debit time (Eastern Standard Time on any Business Day) and is the time by which you must transmit instructions to have them considered entered on that particular Business Day.
By providing the Payment Service with the names and account information of those entities and/or persons to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives from you or your authorized user through the Internet Bill Pay Service. When the Service receives a payment instruction, you authorize it to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close to the Business Day designated by you as soon as reasonably possible. For this reason, it is necessary that all Payment Dates selected by you be no less than seven (7) to ten (10) Business Days before the actual due date for payments that are being sent by check and two (2) to three (3) Business Days for ACH payments, (not the late date and/or a date in the grace period). It is your responsibility to schedule your bill payments in such a manner that your obligations will be paid on time. Payment instructions entered after the Cutoff Time or on a non-Business Day will be considered entered in the Service on the next Business Day. If you properly follow the procedures described herein, and the Service fails to send a payment according to the Payment Instructions received, the Service will bear responsibility for all late charges. In any other event, including but not limited to choosing a Payment Date which is not ten (10) Business Days before the due date or on or past the due date stated on your invoice or bill, the risk of incurring and the responsibility for paying any and all late charges or penalties shall be borne by you. A bill payment is "In Process" starting at the Cutoff Time on the Payment Date. A bill payment is a "Pending Payment", starting from the time you enter Payment Instructions until the payment is "In Process." A bill payment is considered "Completed" on the Business Day you selected as the scheduled Payment Date. You may cancel or edit any Pending Payment (including recurring bill payments) by following the directions provided on the Internet Bill Pay system Online Help. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Pending Payment. Please note: we may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment or cancellation order given after a payment is "In Process" and it is not possible to stop or cancel a payment which is "Completed." If you desire to cancel or stop any payment which is "In Process", you must call your credit union at (585) 343-5627 or 1-800-722-8224. Although we will make every effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. Stop payment requests sent to us via electronic mail or in any other manner will not reach us in time for us to act on your request. Stop payment requests will be accepted only if we have a reasonable opportunity to act on such a stop payment order. If you call, we may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days after you call. The charge for each stop payment order will be the then current charge for such service as disclosed in our Rate & Fee Schedule. The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability if it is unable to complete any payments initiated by you through the Service because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
Payment will be made to your Payee either electronically via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) or by check. The method of payment depends upon the processing method that can be accommodated by the Payee. The payment may be deducted from your Payment Account by two methods depending upon the amount of the payment and your credit history. The two methods are: 1.) Via an electronic debit through the Automated Clearing House Association (ACH) or 2.) Via a draft drawn on your account and processed through the Federal Reserve System (as if you had written a check drawn upon your Checking Account.) All bill payments debited from your account will appear on your monthly Statement of Account and under the "BILL PAY HISTORY" section of the Internet Bill Pay on the Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Home Banking System. ACH debits will reflect the name of the Payee (e.g., XYZ Utility Company) as well as the date and amount; payments by check will be reflected on your statement with a date, payee and address, and amount. All payments can be viewed with the Payee's name, payment amount and payment date by reviewing your recent payment history under the electronic Payment List option provided to you as part of the Internet Bill Pay Service.
Longer Delays may Apply In some cases; we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you immediately after your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your deposits will be available on the first business day. If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available immediately, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take the action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
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 seventh business day after the day of deposit. Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.
The following payment types are prohibited through the Service:

If you fail to notify Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union within (2) Business Days after you learn of unauthorized access to your account(s) and/or that your Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Home Banking Account Number and Password has been lost, stolen or compromised, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized access to your account(s), or use of your Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Home Banking Account Number and Password had you notified us, you could lose as much as $500.00. If your monthly statement or your online account detail reflect any transfers or payments that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the first statement which reflected an unauthorized transfer(s) or payment(s) was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days, provided that we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time.
It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make ONLY in the following situations:
Service fees may be imposed on your account in accordance with the Fee Schedule which accompanies this Disclosure Statement and Agreement.
As a participant in the Internet Bill Pay Service you will not be charged for the service, provided that the service was used during the calendar month. If there is not activity within a calendar month, then a $5.00 fee will be charged to you on the 6th business day of the following calendar month. (Calendar months are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.) For example, a registered bill pay user that does not have any bill pay activity in May will be charged a $5.00 fee on the 6th business day of June for the service.
Please note: Your Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union loan accounts may not be paid by using the Internet Bill Pay Service, but instead may be paid by using the transfer/payment option on the Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Home Banking service or by automatic transfer from your Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Savings account at no charge. Additionally, charges for other transactions and optional services (e.g., Non-Sufficient Funds or Stop Payment Fees) are specified in Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Unions Rate & Fee Schedule. You agree to pay such fees and charges, and authorize the Service to charge your designated Payment Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any fees associated with your savings or loan accounts will continue to apply.

You may be assessed more than one fee as a result of a returned item and resubmission(s) of the returned item.
In using the Service, you are requesting the system to make payments for you from your Payment Account. If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are not sufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction may not be completed. In some instances you will receive a return notice by secure electronic message via the Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union Internet Home Banking service. In these cases, you agree that a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee will be charged in accordance with Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union's established and published fees. Further, you also agree that a NSF fee may be charged to your account even if the payment is not returned but is paid and overdraws your Payment Account. You may be assessed more than one fee as a result of a returned item and resubmission(s) of the returned item.
You agree to promptly notify both Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union member service in writing of any address change. Changing your address on the Service does not automatically update your address of record at Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union.
