There are limits imposed by Federal Regulation D on the number of transfers you can make from your Savings or Money Market Account. (These are remote or automated transfers without your physical presence at a branch.) The types of transfers subject to these limitations include:

• Overdraft transfers made automatically to cover insufficient funds
• Transfers made by Member Service Representatives on your behalf that are requested by phone or secure email
• Automated, scheduled, preauthorized, or recurring transfers
• Transfers made through online or mobile banking
• Transfers made through telephone banking

Six transfers are allowed per savings account per calendar month, either to another iQ account or to a third party.

All deposits are different. Some deposits take longer to clear, depending on the type of deposit and the time the deposit is made. For deposits made at a branch or by mail, any delay is counted in business days from the day of deposit. For example, if a deposit is made after hours, the deposit won’t be considered until the next business day.

• Cash deposits are made immediately available.
• Check deposits immediately release $500 of the total amount deposited.

(Note that some exceptions apply. Please see the Membership & Account Agreement for complete details.)

• Savings deposits are held for two business days until any funds are made available.

Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery Services

If you are a victim or suspect identity theft for any reason, simply let us know. You do not have to confirm identity fraud before seeking assistance. We will put you in touch with a professional Recovery Advocate who, depending on your identity fraud incident, will:

• Perform research to determine the extent of the problem, including a review of all three credit reports (if appropriate)
• Assist with the placement of fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus
• Write letters/make calls on your behalf to dispute fraudulent information
• Coordinate with government agencies, financial institutions, creditors, etc. to resolve incidents
• Work with law enforcement to help arrest and prosecute the criminals
• Follow up for 12 months after recovery

This service covers all types of identity fraud, even if it is not related to your account(s) with iQ Credit Union. Types of identity fraud covered include credit/debit card fraud, tax fraud, employment fraud, government documents and benefits fraud, medical fraud, and any other identity fraud recognized by the Federal Trade Commission. (Please refer to Terms and Conditions for details.)

Lost Document Replacement

If you have an important document that has been lost, stolen, or destroyed as a result of an identity theft incident, or if the information has been compromised, we can help. Just let us know, and we will refer you to a professional Recovery Advocate who will work with you to replace your missing documents, including credit cards. Your Recovery Advocate will work with you to contact creditors, cancel the compromised information, and obtain replacement documents.
