Disclosures
* Power Checking Account Reward Information: When Power Checking account qualifications are met during a monthly qualification period, you will receive 2.00% cash back on applicable AFFCU Visa debit card purchases (PIN-based and signature-based) on the first $500.00 spent, that post and settle to the account during the monthly statement period. A maximum of $10.00 cash back may be earned per monthly statement period. To qualify to earn the monthly Power Checking cash back rewards, the member must 1) login to online or mobile banking account at least one (1) time each month and 2) have a monthly cumulative total of $1,000 or more in direct deposit post to their checking account each month. Direct deposits must be received by 5:00 PM (ET) on the last business day of the current month in order to qualify. Account transactions and activities may take one or more days to post and settle to the account and all must do so during the monthly qualification period in order to qualify for the account’s 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 Atlantic Financial Federal Credit Union as ATM, PIN-based, or Bill Payment transactions; signature based transactions and purchases made with non-Atlantic Financial Federal Credit Union issued debit cards.
When Power Checking qualifications are not met, no cash back payments are rewarded. Cash back payments will be credited to your Power Checking account on the last day of statement cycle. “Monthly qualification period” means a period beginning on the first day of the calendar month through last day of the current calendar month. Account approval, conditions, qualifications, limits, timeframes, enrollments, log-ons and other requirements apply. Enrollment in and monthly access of online/mobile banking are conditions of the Power Checking account. Enrollment in electronic services (e.g. online or mobile banking) and log-ons are required to meet some of the account’s qualifications. Limit 1 account per social security number. Rates, rewards, and qualification criteria are variable and may change after account is opened.
** ATM Fee Information: Power Checking, PowerPlus Checking, and Journey Checking accounts are eligible to receive up to five (5) free foreign ATM transactions per month. A foreign transaction fee is a fee issued by Atlantic Financial when you use another financial institution’s or operator’s ATM (an ATM that is not an AFFCU or CO-OP Network ATM, or one of our local credit union partners ATMs). A surcharge-fee may be applicable, and the members responsibility to pay, if charged by the financial institution or ATM operator.
