*Kasasa Disclosures:  Qualification Information: Account transactions and activities may take one or more Banking Days to post and settle to the account and all must do so during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in order to qualify for the account¹s rewards. The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our Northwoods Credit Union as ATM  transactions and purchases made with debit cards not issued by Northwoods Credit Union. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning on the first day of the current Statement Cycle through the last day of the current statement cycle. Reward Information:  Rewards vary by account.  Depending on what Kasasa account you open, you will receive the following rewards when you meet your account¹s qualifications during a Monthly Qualification Cycle: Kasasa Cash:
Balances up to $15,000 receive  APY of 2.25%; & balances over $15,000 earn 0.249% interest rate on the portion of balance over $15,000, resulting in a range from 0.51% to  2.25% APY depending on the account's balance. Your Kasasa Saver account receives an APY of 0.050% and balances over $15,000 earn 0.247% interest rate on the portion of balance over $15,000, resulting in a range from 0.50% to 0.28% APY depending on the account¹s balance. Kasasa Tunes:  you will earn up to an aggregate total of $5.00 (which includes any applicable taxes) in refunds for any iTunes, Amazon.com purchases.  In order to be refunded, iTunes, Amazon.com purchases must be made with your Northwoods Credit Union Kasasa Tunes debit card and must post and settle to your account no more than 30 days after the Monthly Qualification Cycle in which you qualified ends. Kasasa Cash Back:  4.00% cash back up to an aggregate amount of $8.00 per monthly qualification cycle, on everyday debit card purchases totaling $200.00 or less that post and settle to your account during the monthly qualification cycle, and;  ATM Fee Refunds: you will receive reimbursements up to $4.99 (per single transaction) for nationwide ATM fees incurred during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in which you qualified.  ATM receipt must be presented within thirty (30) calendar days of transaction for reimbursements of individual ATM fees of $5.00 or higher. When your Kasasa account qualifications are not met all balances in a Kasasa Cash account earns 0.050% APY*; all balances in a Kasasa Saver account earn 0.050% APY. Rewards and ATM fee reimbursements will be credited to the appropriate Kasasa account on the first business day of the following statement cycle.   Automatic transfers to Kasasa Saver occur within one business day. This automatic transfer may cause an overdraft to your Kasasa Cash account, if the respective account's balance is less than the transferred amount when transfer occurs. *When linked to the Kasasa Saver account, the dividends earned within the Kasasa Cash account does not compound since it is automatically transferred to the Kasasa Saver account. Due to non-compounding, the actual dividend amount transferred from the Kasasa Cash account to the Kasasa Saver account may be less than the advertised Kasasa Cash APY*, if the advertised APY* is represented without a linked Kasasa Saver account. APY = Annual Percentage Yield.  APYs accurate as of 01/16/2015. Rates and rewards are variable and may change after account is opened.  Fees may reduce earnings. Additional Information: Account approval, conditions, qualifications, limits, timeframes, enrollments, log-ons and other requirements apply. A $5 minimum deposit is required to open the account. EEnrollment in electronic services (e.g. online banking, electronic statements) and log-ons may be required to meet some of the account¹s qualifications.
