Truth In Savings Disclosure
This disclosure contains the rules that govern your deposit account as of May 1, 2023.
Account Overview
Kasasa Cash Back – Multi Level: 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.
Purpose and Expected Use of Account
This account is intended to be the accountholder’s primary checking 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 would not be considered by our institution as normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions, and other activities that appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account’s rewards and will be deemed inappropriate transactions and may not count toward earning the account’s rewards.
NextStep Federal 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 checking account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account if the account does not have consistent active use over 6 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 NextStep Federal 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- Multi-Level account, any optional add-on products / services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.

Truth In Savings Disclosure
This disclosure contains the rules that govern your deposit account as of November 1, 2023.
Account Overview
Kasasa Cash Back – Multi Level: 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: 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-Multi Level checking account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle.
Purpose and Expected Use of Account
This account is intended to be the accountholder’s primary checking 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 would not be considered by our institution as normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions, and other activities that appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account’s rewards and will be deemed inappropriate transactions and may not count toward earning the account’s rewards.
The NextStep Federal 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 checking account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account if the account does not have consistent active use over 6 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 NextStep Federal 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-Multi-Level 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-Multi Level account and only the Kasasa Cash Back-Multi Level terms and conditions articulated within this disclosure will apply. If, for whatever reason the Kasasa Cash Back-Multi Level portion of your account is closed, your account will automatically be converted to a standalone regular savings account and you will receive terms and conditions that will apply to that account.

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.
