*Cash Back Percentage: 5.00%APY cash back on balances between $0 and $5,000 and 0.00%APY cash back on balances exceeding $5,000 each cycle the minimum requirements are met, as listed under the “Here is all you need to do” heading above. If you use an ATM not within Shoreline’s network (Foreign ATM) and are charged a fee for usage, we will refund up to $5 per month. Any earned cash back or ATM fee refund will be credited to your Hometown Cashback Checking account monthly. If you do not meet the requirements per cycle, your account will still function as a Hometown Cashback Checking account earning 0.00%APY and it will not receive ATM refunds for that time period. Available to personal accounts only. Fees could reduce the earnings on the account. Membership required. Rates and terms are subject to change at any time without notice. Cash Back Accrual: Shoreline Hometown Credit Union will use the average daily balance when calculating cash back earned for the statement cycle. All requirements will be reset at the beginning of each month. Closing of account: If you close your account before the end of the month, no cash back will be earned and you will lose all cash back accrued to that point.
**Membership eligibility required. Account approval, conditions, qualifications and other requirements apply. Terms and conditions subject to change at any time without notice. A $5 maintenance fee will be charged to the account each month. All non-sufficient funds (NSF) transactions will be declined if possible. No NSF or overdraft fees will be charged. An NSF transaction occurs when a check, electronic transaction, or other item is presented for payment when the available balance in the account is insufficient to cover the amount of the check, electronic transaction, or other item.
***FreshStart Checking. If any of the conditions of this product are not met during one calendar month, you will have until the close of business of the last day in the subsequent month to re-qualify. Failure to re-qualify or notify the Credit Union may result in account closure. Account is primarily for those with a derogatory credit history. If your ChexSystems reports an unpaid checking or savings account closure, you will be required to set up a repayment plan at the time of account opening. The plan will include paying off the closure in one year or less. The payments you make every month will go into a separate savings account, to be paid by Shoreline Credit Union to the financial institution reporting a closure at the end of the agreement. If the terms of the payment plan are not maintained, the account will be closed. If there are no unpaid closures, no payment or savings plan is required. This account does not pay dividends. The account does not include check writing privileges. Overdraft Advance is not available with this account. If the account becomes overdrawn, it may be subject to closure by the Credit Union. A fee of $9.95 is assessed at the last day of each month. Although there is no minimum balance, a deposit sufficient to cover the first month’s fee is required at account opening. Available to personal accounts only. Membership required. Rates and terms are subject to change without notice.
Membership Eligibly Required. Federally insured by NCUA.
