Kasasa Cash Back with Kasasa Saver - Truth In Savings Disclosure
This disclosure contains the rules that govern your deposit account as of August 1, 2023.
Account Overview:
- Kasasa Cash Back: A free variable reward checking account with no minimum balance that rewards accountholders with cash back on their debit card purchases and nationwide ATM withdrawal fee refunds when they meet minimum qualifications during the account’s Monthly Qualification Cycle.
- Kasasa Saver is a free, variable rate, deposit account with no minimum balance that rewards accountholders with dividends when they meet the minimum qualifications associated with their linked Kasasa Cash Back checking account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle.
Purpose and Expected Use of Account
This account is intended to be the accountholder’s primary share draft 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 the spending activities identified above, we expect the account’s debit card to be used frequently throughout each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range. 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 period would not be considered by our institution as normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account’s rewards and thus will be deemed inappropriate transactions and will not count toward earning the account’s rewards.
Friends and Family Credit Union reserves the right to determine if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day, primary use. 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 share draft account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different share draft account if the account does not have consistent active use over 12 consecutive Statement Cycles.
We have the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. 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 Friends and Family Credit Union check for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to accountholder at the address indicated on our current records. Upon termination of your Kasasa Cash Back with Kasasa Saver account, any optional add-on products / services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.
If, for whatever reason the Kasasa Saver portion of your account is closed, your account will automatically be converted to a standalone Kasasa Cash Back account and only the Kasasa Cash Back terms and conditions articulated within this disclosure will apply.
Dividend Rate & Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
- Compounding & Crediting:
Dividends will be compounded on a monthly basis. Dividends will be credited to your Kasasa Saver account on the first processing/business day of the following statement cycle. If you close your account before the dividends are credited, you will not receive the accrued dividends. Dividends begin(s) to accrue on the day you deposit noncash items (for example, checks).
"Statement Cycle" means the period of time for which Friends and Family Credit Union provides a summary of the financial activities and transactions that post and settle to the accountholder’s account. Please visit our website at www.friendsandfamilycu.com or call us at (330) 832-1371, option 4, to speak with one of our branch service representatives for specific Statement Cycle dates.
- Balance Computation Method:
We use the average daily balance method to calculate the dividends on your Kasasa Saver account. This method applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The period we use is the Statement Cycle.

When your Kasasa Cash Back account qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle:
