¹Pelican CU membership and checking account required to have a School Pride Debit Card. If you are not a Pelican member, you must be eligible to open a primary savings account with Pelican to become one. The deposit to open a primary savings account starts at a minimum of $15 ($10 to join + $5 minimum balance). A primary savings account and a minimum deposit of $25 is required to open a Pelican checking account. You must be 13 years or older to have a Pelican checking account and debit card. Qualifying transactions are point-of-sale debit card transactions of $5 or more, not including ATM transactions, and transfer between accounts, made with a School Pride Debit Card. Partner organizations will receive 5 cents per swipe if they have 1-499 active School Pride Debit Cards. When the partner organization reaches 500 or more active School Pride Debit Cards, they will begin to receive 10 cents per swipe the month following the month in which 500 active cards are on record with Pelican. Active cards are defined as cards that have had one qualifying point-of-sale transaction in the last 90 days. Partner organizations will receive funds raised from qualifying transactions made from January 1 start of business to December 31 end of business each year by check in January of the following year.
2Pelican Credit Union membership is required to open a Stack Checking account. To become a member, you must open and maintain the required share account. The par value of one share is $5.00, and one share is required for membership. A minimum deposit of $25.00 is required to open a Stack Checking account. Pelican reserves the right to limit Stack Checking accounts to one per primary account holder Social Security number. Not everyone will qualify to open an account. Stack Checking is a tiered-rate account. The dividend rate and Annual Percentage Yield (APY) may change at any time as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The dividend rate and APY are the rate and yield as of the last dividend declaration date, which is set forth in the Rate Schedule. If your average daily balance is $20,000.00 or below and your Stack Checking account meets all minimum service requirements during the qualification period, the first dividend rate and APY listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply for the dividend period. If your average daily balance is greater than $20,000.00 and your Stack Checking account meets all minimum service requirements during the qualification period, the second dividend rate and range of APYs listed for this account in the Rate Schedule will apply for the dividend period. Each dividend rate will apply only to that portion of the account balance within each balance range. The minimum service requirements include: (1) making 15 debit card point-of-sale purchases that are cleared and posted to your account during the qualification period; ATM transactions do not qualify; (2) having direct deposit, ACH debit, ACH credit, or Bill Pay transaction posted to your Stack Checking account; (3) accessing online banking once during the qualification period; and (4) receiving your monthly statement electronically. If you meet all minimum service requirements during the qualification period, all nationwide ATM fees will be refunded by the second day of the next calendar month. Dividends earned and ATM fees refunded on the Stack Checking account will automatically be transferred to the Stack Savings Share account, if available, during the first week of the next calendar month. If you do not meet all minimum service requirements during the calendar month, the third dividend rate and APY listed in the Rate Schedule will apply to the entire balance in your Stack Checking account. The qualification period is defined as a period beginning on the last day of the prior calendar month and ending on the next-to-last day of the calendar month in which the dividends are paid. For complete account terms, limitations, and current rate information, refer to Pelican’s Truth-in-Savings Disclosure, Rate Schedule, and Schedule of Fees and Charges. Federally insured by NCUA.
