Each transaction will be rounded up individually, totaled, and then transferred to the savings account of your choice. 

Here's an example:

• $15.26 (Rounded up amount is $0.74)
• $24.01 (Rounded up amount is r $0.99) 
• $122.14 (Rounded up amount is $0.86) 

For the example above, the total round up for all amounts is $2.59, which will be transferred to the member's savings account

If you have a multiplier set up, we will multiply by the day's total and then transfer to your savings account. Using the above example, if you have a multiplier set to 3x, ($2.59 x 3) would transfer over a total of $7.77

The savings will remain in the savings account and not transferred back to the checking account. 

No. To protect you from this happening, we will not make a SimpleSavings transfer on any day your checking account does not have the available balances to cover the transfer. Please know, your purchases will be charged to your checking account, but a SimpleSavings transfer will not be made in this event.

Chartway Federal Credit Union’s Member Account Agreement was recently amended to include a binding arbitration agreement and jury trial waiver. We are adopting arbitration as the method of resolving legal disputes with members. This means that instead of filing lawsuits in the traditional court system to resolve a legal dispute, we will take our dispute to a neutral third-party arbitrator who will hear the claim, receive evidence from both Chartway Federal Credit Union and the member, and decide the resolution. The arbitration process is less formal and is usually much quicker. Under Chartway’s arbitration agreement, members are not able to file or participate in a class action lawsuit against the credit union. Each claim is arbitrated on an individual basis.

Members have thirty days to opt out from the date of notification.

This change does not impact your membership or how you use your Chartway accounts or services. If you have a legal dispute regarding any product, service or experience with Chartway Federal Credit Union covered by the arbitration agreement, we will first attempt to resolve it informally. If that isn’t possible, we will use arbitration to resolve the dispute.

The membership agreement is provided at account opening. It is also available here: Membership Account Agreement

Arbitration is the out-of-court resolution of a dispute between parties to a contract, decided by an impartial third party (the arbitrator).

Arbitration can be an efficient means to resolve legal disputes between parties. Arbitration is designed to be less costly than filing in court, likely more convenient, and the member will have the same available remedies
