Generally, you may withdraw up to $400 per day in cash, on each Banking Card issued, provided you have sufficient available funds in your account to make such a withdrawal. If you attempt to exceed these limits, your transaction(s) may not be processed. However, if you have been assigned a limit in excess if these limits, you may withdraw the applicable dollar amount each day in cash, on each Banking Card issued, provided you have sufficient available funds in your account.

You may use your Banking Card to pay for purchases directly from your checking account or transaction share account at businesses which honor your Banking Card through a point-of sale (POS) transfer service.

There are no daily limits on the number of times you may use POS transfer services. However, there is a limit on the amount you may use to buy goods or services through POS transfer services in any single day.

Pre-authorization of a POS transfer does not necessarily mean that you have sufficient available funds in your account to make the purchase. See the section below about account balance information.

USE OF BANKING CARD WITH OVERDRAFT PROTECTION

If the account for your Banking Card is linked to a line of credit or other loan account for purposes of providing overdraft protection for the account, using your Banking Card for a POS transfer may result in a draw against the line of credit or other loan account and a credit to the account. Such transactions are described in the overdraft protection agreement you entered into with the Bank. The charges for this service are set forth in the most recent Account Information Schedule for your account.

AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE FEES/SURCHARGES

When you initiate a transfer using your Banking Card from an automated teller machine that is not operated by Knoxville Teachers Federal Credit Union, the owner of the automated teller machine, or any network used to effect the transaction, may charge a fee or surcharge and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a fund transfer. Similarly, if you initiate a transfer or balance inquiry via other means besides your Banking Card, the owner of the means used to initiate the transaction, or any network used to effect the transaction, may charge a fee or surcharge.

AVAILABILITY OF PHONE PAYMENT AND TRANSFERS

Telephone payments and transfers (including preauthorized payments and transfers,) as well as direct deposit of pay and/or benefits, are also available with checking or Transfer Accounts.

ACCOUNT BALANCE INFORMATION

Account balances received through Automated Teller Machines or POS terminals may not reflect recent transactions and the full balance indicated may not be available for withdrawal. In order to determine whether you have sufficient available funds in an account to perform a transaction, you should review your account records.

ACCOUNT TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS

Certain accounts have transaction limitations. These limitations apply to: (1) telephone transfers and payments from accounts; (2) preauthorized and automatic transfers and payments from accounts; and (3) payment from accounts by check, draft or similar order (including debt card) payable to, cashed or received by anyone other than you or Knoxville Teachers Federal Credit Union (“Third Party Checks”). These three types of transactions are called “Limited Transfer.”

No more than six Limited Transfers may be made from any share Account in any calendar month. You may make unlimited withdrawals by mail, ATM or in person from these accounts.

Knoxville Teachers Federal Credit Union reserves the right not to pay any Limited Transfer, which exceeds the transaction limitations described in this section.

Alternatively, the Bank may remove the transfer and draft capabilities from the account if the account is converted, the terms and conditions applicable to the new account shall govern the account and you shall thereafter pay the fees imposed on the new account. You agree to be bound by these limitations whenever you use our electronic banking services
