What is Regulation D and how does it affect me?

According to the Federal Reserve Act section 19, there are 2 types of accounts with the Credit Union: transactional accounts and non-transactional accounts. A transactional account is your share draft (checking) account. Your share (savings)account is a non-transactional account. Section 19 of the Federal Reserve Act limits the number of transactions that you can conduct using a non-transactional account (share or savings) to 6 per month. This limit is based on when the transaction is posted to your account, not when you authorize the transaction. The following transactions are limited to 6 per month using your share (savings) account: checks from your account, online/mobile banking transfers, automatic transfers ( including those for overdraft protection), transfers made over the phone, any preauthorized automatic withdrawal, and any checks to a third party from your shares (savings). If you exceed the 6 per month limit, you will receive a notice from us. If you continue to exceed the limit each month, we may reject your transaction or be forced to close your account. To avoid this situation, consider opening a share draft (checking) account. Your first 50 checks are free and no limits on transactions. We also have debit cards available once you have been approved for a checking account. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Mobile Deposit

With more of our members taking advantage of mobile deposit in our app, here are a few items to remember. All checks must have the proper endorsement on the back of the check. This includes your signature and one the following endorsements: For Mobile Deposit Only Allegheny Kiski Postal FCU, For Mobile Deposit Only AKPFCU or For Mobile Deposit Only AKPostalFCU. If you do not sign the check or use one of the endorsements we cannot accept the deposit. The deposit limit per day is $5,000.00. We use our normal check deposit procedure when processing the funds availability on any deposit . We do not accept third party checks. Please feel free to contact the office (724-337-3717) with any questions you may have.
