If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days.

If you give notice of an error within thirty (30) days after you make the first deposit to your account; we will have twenty (20) business days instead of ten (10) business days. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within three (3) business days after completing it. If we decide that there was no error, this will include a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

If the transfer would go over your credit limit on your overdraft line;
• If you used your PASSWORD in an incorrect manner;
• If the system was not working properly and you knew or should have known about the problem when you started the transaction;

• If your account is closed by you or the Credit Union at the time of the transfer;
