Common use of Non-Member Check Cashing Clause in Contracts

Non-Member Check Cashing. You agree that we may impose a fee as set forth in the Schedule on the payee or other holder of a check or other item drawn against your account(s) that is presented for payment over the counter (in-person or otherwise) at the Credit Union rather than being deposited in an account at another institution and presented for payment through the check collection system. Alternately, we may, in our discretion, limit the locations at which we will cash checks written on your Account payable to non-Credit Union account holders (A request that Credit Union cash the check at any other location is not a proper presentment of the check by your specific agreement.) Payees may deposit the checks that you give them into their own account(s) with us in order to receive payment without a fee. 8h. Checks you Request from the Credit Union: If you request any check be issued by the Credit Union pursuant to any means we make available, then all such checks are payable to the first named owner of the account, record owner, trustee, custodian, or as otherwise indicated on your account card with us and will be mailed to the address of record. 8i. Temporary Holds and Authorizations for Amounts in Excess of Transactions: To facilitate certain transactions you make we may place temporary holds on funds in your accounts. The Credit Union can neither control the parties with whom you do business nor regulate the processing of transactions through the commercial networks used to facilitate your transactions. Therefore, it is your obligation to insure that sufficient funds are on deposit at all times to cover the transactions you make – including the amount that may be subject to these holds. Pursuant to the processing networks rules a merchant (hotel, car rental company, retailer, etc.) may obtain authorization for up to 3 times the total estimated amount of your actual hotel stay, car rental or purchase. This is deemed to be an “authorized amount” by you and the authorized amount will not be available via your account until after your ▇▇▇▇ is finally settled with such merchant(s), which can cause an insufficient funds situation in your account(s). Even if your ▇▇▇▇ is satisfied with another form of payment, the merchant/retailer may continue to hold the funds as originally authorized by you for these time periods. In order to avoid problems associated with these holds and authorizations, we recommend you not use your debit/check card when checking in at hotels or renting cars (which are the primary source of such holds/authorizations).
