KASASA REWARD CHECKING ACCOUNTS

TRUTH IN SAVINGS ACT DISCLOSURE

This disclosure contains the terms, conditions and rules associated with opening and maintaining your chosen Kasasa account as of May 13, 2024. 

OVERVIEW OF KASASA ACCOUNTS:

  • Cash Back Reward Account: The following account provides “cash back” rewards:

    - Kasasa Cash Back
    : A free, variable-reward checking account with no minimum balance requirement that rewards accountholders with nationwide ATM withdrawal fee refunds and cash back on their debit card purchases when they meet minimum qualifications during the account's Monthly Qualification Cycle.

  • Dividend Reward Accounts: The following accounts provide “dividend” rewards:

     - Kasasa Cash: A free variable-rate checking account with no minimum balance requirement that rewards accountholders with nationwide ATM withdrawal fee refunds and high dividends when they meet minimum qualifications during the account's Monthly Qualification Cycle.

    - Kasasa Saver: A free, variable-rate, savings account with no minimum balance requirement that rewards accountholders with dividends when they meet the minimum qualifications associated with their linked Kasasa checking account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle.  In addition, rewards earned in your linked Kasasa checking account are automatically added to your Kasasa Saver Account to help you save.

Collectively, Kasasa Cash and Kasasa Cash Back, may be referred to, in singular or plural form,  as “Kasasa checking” account(s) within this disclosure. 

PURPOSE AND EXPECTED USE OF ACCOUNT:

Account Expectations:  Our institution expects the accountholder to use their selected Kasasa account as their primary checking account in which payroll transactions and day-to-day spending activities including but not limited to grocery, gasoline, apparel, shopping, dining, sporting, and entertainment transactions are posted and settled. Commensurate with these spending activities, we expect the account's debit card to be used frequently throughout the entirety of each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range.

Examples of Inappropriate Use: Small debit card transactions conducted on the same day at a single merchant and/or multiple transactions made during a condensed time period particularly near the end of a Monthly Qualification Cycle are not considered normal, day-to-day spending behavior. For example, five debit card transactions, each for a dollar, conducted at a convenience store, two days before the end of the cycle would not be considered by our institution as normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions, and other activities that appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account's rewards, will be deemed inappropriate transactions and may not count toward earning the account's rewards. Accountholders who persist in making debit card transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet their monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different checking account or closed altogether.

Our Rights: Our institution has the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. We also reserve the right to analyze your account activity to determine: (a) if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day primary use; (b) if debit card activities are being executed solely for the purpose of earning the account's rewards and (c) if another account might better serve your banking needs and activities.

Ramifications of Account Closure: Our decision to close the account will not affect your existing obligations to us including any obligation to pay fees or charges incurred prior to termination. No deposits will be accepted, and no checks will be paid after the account is closed. If the account is closed, you will forfeit any rewards that have not been credited to your account. A check from our institution for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to accountholder at the address indicated on our current records. Upon termination of your Kasasa account, any optional add-on products/services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time. 

If, for whatever reason, your Kasasa Cash Back or Kasasa Cash Account is closed, your linked Kasasa Saver Account will also be closed. If, for whatever reason, your Kasasa Saver Account is closed, then only the appropriate Kasasa Cash Back and Kasasa Cash information within this disclosure will apply.

ATM withdrawal fees are not reimbursed nor refunded for any Kasasa Saver Account ATM transactions.

When your chosen Kasasa checking account qualifications are not met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, nationwide ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded.

Nationwide ATM withdrawal fees will be credited to your chosen Kasasa checking account on last day of the current statement cycle.  If, however, you have a Kasasa Cash Back Account that is linked to a Kasasa Saver Account, your nationwide ATM withdrawal fees will be credited to your Kasasa Saver Account on the last day of the current statement cycle.
