MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
The words “I”, “me”, “my”, “myself” mean each person signing the
membership application/signature card including anyone who has
access to the account(s).
1. I understand that this account shall be governed by the Code
of Virginia, federal laws, National Credit Union Administration
(NCUA) Rules and Regulations and the bylaws and policies and
procedures of the Credit Union and any amendments thereto.
This account shall be subject to other terms and conditions
which are subject to change upon notice to me.
2. I agree that PenFed has the right pursuant to its statutory
lien and further, I give my express consent to enable PenFed
to charge against any balance in any of my PenFed accounts,
including accounts on which I am a joint owner, to include any
otherwise statutorily protected funds that may not otherwise
be available by legal process, to liquidate any PenFed
indebtedness, owed by me or any person who is listed as a joint
owner on my accounts with PenFed, including a deceased joint
owner. This provision does not include my IRA account or any
other account for which this provision is not permitted under
Internal Revenue Code. PenFed may take such action without
further notice to me or any joint owner. In regard to those
funds that have a statutory protection I understand that I may
withdraw my express consent for PenFed to apply such funds
to pay any such indebtedness by notifying PenFed in writing.
If my consent is withdrawn, PenFed may in its sole discretion
terminate any and all services that I have with the credit union.
3. I expressly authorize PenFed to procure upon its request from
any person, partnership, credit reporting agency, association,
firm, or corporation a credit report and for such person to
furnish PenFed with said credit report concerning any financial
service I may request or obtain from PenFed as well as any
subsequent re-evaluation of any such financial service.
4. If I have caused PenFed to incur any loss due to my activities,
or if any account at PenFed is maintained by me in a manner
that PenFed, in its sole discretion, deems contrary to sound
financial practice, I agree that PenFed may terminate all
accounts or services which I may receive from PenFed with the
exception of my Regular Share account.
5. I understand that if all my shares in PenFed are withdrawn,
my membership in PenFed may be terminated. Funds in my
accounts will be subject to collection through normal banking
channels and PenFed’s hold policy.
6. I agree that my share accounts are not transferable except on
the records of PenFed.
7. I agree that payment of money in the account on the written
instructions of any authorized person excuses PenFed of
any further legal obligation regarding the proceeds of the
transaction. I agree to indemnify and hold PenFed harmless
from any suits or liability, directly or indirectly, resulting
from the handling of the account consistent with the written
instructions of any authorized person. PenFed may refuse to
honor my instruction if it is unclear or the signature appears
not to be authentic.
8. Any financial service provided by PenFed may be used for
any transaction permitted by law. I agree that illegal use of
any financial service will be deemed an action of default and/
or breach of contract and such service and/or other related
services may be terminated in PenFed’s discretion. I further
agree, should illegal use occur, to waive any right to sue PenFed
for such illegal use or any activity directly or indirectly related
to it and additionally I agree to indemnify and hold PenFed
harmless from any suits or other legal action or liability, directly
or indirectly, resulting from such illegal use.
JOINT SHARE ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
If any of my accounts, either now or in the future are established
as a joint account, PenFed is authorized to recognize any one of
the joint owner signatures for the payment of funds or for any
transaction for this account. The joint owners of this account agree
with each other and with PenFed that all funds deposited into the
account shall be owned jointly by all joint owners. The funds on
deposit will be subject to the withdrawal or receipt of any joint
owner. In the event of death of an owner and according to the
type of joint share account selected, withdrawal or payment may
also be made to the survivor(s) or the estate(s) of the deceased
owner(s).Each joint owner will discharge PenFed from any liability
for the payment or withdrawal.
A joint owner who is a PenFed member may pledge all or part
of the shares in this account as collateral security for a loan or
loans, and PenFed is authorized to charge at any time against this
account any indebtedness owing to it by any of the joint owners.
Please note: Joint ownership does not constitute membership.
This account shall be governed by the Code of Virginia, Federal
Laws, Rules and Regulations and the Bylaws of PenFed and any
amendments thereto.
TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS
PenFed reserves the right to require at least seven (7) days
notice prior to withdrawal or transfer of funds from this account.
Federal Regulation D limits the following to no more than a total
of 6 per monthly dividend cycle: transfers or withdrawals made to
another PenFed account (other than for the purpose of repaying
a PenFed loan and associated expenses) if made by preauthorized
or automatic transfer, by telephone or fax, or via PenFed Online
(PFOL) or the mobile application; transfers or withdrawals to a
third party if made by preauthorized or automatic transfers, by
telephone or fax, or via PFOL; or transfers to a third party if made
by check, draft, or similar order made by me and payable to a third
party. If I exceed these limitations my account will be subject to an
excessive transaction fee and may be closed.
