ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF YOUR ACCOUNT(S)

Dear Heart of Louisiana Credit Union Member:

This brochure contains the rules, which govern your account(s) with us.  Please read this brochure carefully.  If you sign your signature card or continue to have an account with us, you agree to these rules, our bylaws, and any bylaw amendments.  You agree to pay the fees we charge and you give us the right to collect any fees, as earned, directly from the account balance.  You will receive a separate schedule of rates, qualifying balances, and fees if they are not included in this brochure.  If you have any questions, please call us.

This agreement is subject to applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Louisiana (except to the extent that this agreement can and does vary such rules or laws).  The body of state and federal law that governs our relationship with you, however, is too large and complex to be reproduced here.

The purpose of this brochure is to:
   * Summarize the existing rules applicable to the more common transactions;
   * Establish rules to govern transactions or events which the law does not regulate;
   * Establish rules for certain events or transactions which the law already regulates but permits variation by agreement; and
   * Give you our funds availability, electronic funds transfers and truth-in-savings policy disclosures.

We may permit some variations from this standard agreement, but any variations must be agreed to in writing either on our signature card for the account or in some other written form.

As used in this brochure, the words "we", "our", and "us" mean Heart of Louisiana Credit Union, and the words "you" and "your" mean the owner(s) of this account and any "agent" appointed by or on behalf of the owner(s) to sign on the account in a representative capacity.  "Access" means the right to deposit and withdraw funds from the account (by whatever methods we make available), obtain information about the account, stop payment, and in all other respects to deal with the account and its balance.  It also means the power (though not the right) to cause an overdraft or non-sufficient funds item.

Liability - Each of you agree for yourself (and the person or entity you represent if you sign as a representative of another) to the terms of this account and the schedule of service charges that we impose.  You authorize us to deduct these charges as accrued directly form the account balance.  You also agree to pay additional reasonable charges we may impose for services you request which are not covered by this agreement.  Each of you also agrees to be jointly and individually liable for any account deficiency resulting from charges or overdrafts, whether caused by you or another authorized to withdraw from this account, and our costs to collect the deficiency including, to the extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorney's fees.  You agree that at our option we may suspend your membership rights if you vioate the terms of this agreement, or if you cause any financial loss to us tthrough the use/abuse of any share-type account or the non-repayment of any loan-type account.

Deposits - Any items, other than cash, accepted for deposit (including items drawn "on us") will be given provisional credit only until collection is final (and actual credit for deposits of, or payable in, foreign currency will be at the exchange rate in effect on final collection in U.S. dollars).  We are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail or outside depository until we actually record them.  All transactions received on a day in which we are not open for business will be treated and recorded as if initiated on the next business day that we are open.  We are prohibited by law from guaranteeing the payment of dividends or that dividends we do pay will be at the contracted rate.  We must base our dividend payments to you upon the money we actually earn and that is available for distribution at the end of a dividend period.  Unless otherwise agreed, you waive any right to receive any original item after it is paid.

Withdrawals - Unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, any one of you who sign in the space designated for signatures on the signature card, including any agent acting alone, has complete access to the account.  Each of you (until we receive written notice to the contrary) authorizes each other person signing on the signature card to endorse any item payable to you or your order for deposit to this account or any other transaction with us.  The fact that we may honor withdrawal requests which overdraw the finally collected account balance does not obligate us to do so.  Withdrawals will first be made from collected funds, and we may, unless prohibited by law or our written policy, refuse any withdrawal request against uncollected funds, even if our general practice is to the contrary.  We reserve the right to refuse any withdrawal or transfer request which is attempted by any method not specifically permitted, which is for an amount less than any minimum withdrawal requirement, or which exceeds any frequency limitation.  Even if we honor a non-conforming request, repeated abuse of the stated limitations may eventually force us to close this account.  We will use the date a transaction is completed by us (as opposed to the day you initiate it) to apply the frequency limitations.  We reserve the right to require you to notify us of your intention to withdraw shares from this account as explained in our by-laws.  Withdrawals from a time deposit prior to maturity or prior to the expiration of any notice period may be restricted and will be subject to penalty.  See the information on early withdrawal penalties in your Truth-In-Savings disclosure.

Ownership of Account - These are rules which govern who has access to an account (depending on which "ownership" you select). Individual Account - This is an account in the name of one person. Unless you appoint an authorized signer (agent), only one person has access to such an account (you). Joint Account -This is an account in the names of two or more persons. Anyone of such persons, acting alone, has complete access to the account. Upon the death of any party to such account, we are permitted to pay the account balance to the surviving parties, but this authority protects us only. The surviving joint parties may be liable to the heirs, legatees or creditors of the deceased party to the extent the funds withdrawn by the survivors were owed by the deceased. If any party to a joint account sends notice to us to prevent withdrawals from the account by another party or parties, we may require the party to withdraw the balance and close the account or we may refuse to allow any further withdrawals from the account except upon the written consent of all parties to it. The remedy we choose is entirely at our discretion. Corporate, Partnership, and Other Organizational Accounts - We will usually require a separate authorization form designating the person permitted and conditions required for withdrawal from any account in the name of a legal entity such as partnership, corporation, or other organization. We will honor such authorization according to its terms until it is amended or terminated in writing by the governing body of such organization.

Pledges, Assignments, and Transfers - You cannot pledge, assign or transfer any account or any interest in an account (other than to us) unless you first get our written consent. We have the right to refuse a request for any reason or no reason whatsoever. Your ability to pledge or assign an account or an interest in it is equal to your right of access to the account (and is subject to our right to refuse to permit it).

Stop-Payments - On Share Draft Accounts only, a stop-payment order must be given in the manner required by law and must be received in time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cut off time.  Our stop-payment cut-off time is one hour after the opening of the next banking day after the banking day on which we receive the item.  Additional limitations on our obligation to stop-payment are provided by law.  A stop-payment order must preciously identify the number, date, and amount of the item, and the payee.  We will honor only a written, signed stop-payment request by the person who signed the particular item, and by any other person, even though such other person did not sign the item, if such other person has an equal or greater right to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item in question.  A release of the stop-payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop payment.

Telephone Transfers - A telephone transfer of funds from this account to another account with us, if otherwise permitted or arranged for, may be made by the same persons and under the same conditions generally applicable to withdrawals made in writing.  We restrict the number of transfers from a regular share account to another account, or third parties, to a maximum of six per month (less the number of certain "pre-authorized transfers" during the month).  Other account transfer restrictions are described elsewhere in this brochure.

Amendments and Termination - We may change our by-laws and any term of this agreement. Rules governing changes in dividend rates have been provided separately. For other changes we will give you reasonable notice in writing or by any other method permitted by law. We reserve the right to close this account if your membership in this credit union terminates. You agree to keep us informed about your current address at all times. Notice from us to any one of you is notice to all of you.

Statements - You must examine your statement of account with "reasonable promptness".  If you discover (or reasonably should have discovered) and unauthorized payments or alterations, you must promptly notify us of the relevant facts.  If you fail to do either of these duties, you will have to either share the loss with us, or bear the loss entirely yourself (depending on whether we exercised ordinary care and, if not, whether we substantially contributed to the loss).  The loss could be not only with respect to items on the statement but other items forged or altered by the same wrongdoer.  You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but that such time will not, in any circumstance, exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement is first made available to you.

You further agree that if you fall to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries or any other errors in your account within 60 days of when we made the statement available, you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and the loss will be entirely yours.  This 60 day limitations without regard to whether we exercised ordinary care.  The limitation in this paragraph is in addition to that contained in the first paragraph of this section.

Account Transfer - This account may not be transferred or assigned without our prior written consent.

Direct Deposits - If, in connection with a direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in this account which should have been returned to the Federal Government for any reason, you authorize us to deduct the amount of our liability to the Federal Government form this account or from any other account you have with us, without prior notice and at any time, except as prohibited by law.  We may also use any other legal remedy to recover the amount of our liability.

Temporary Account Agreement -If this option is selected, this is a temporary account agreement.  Each person who signs in the space designated for -signatures on the signature card (except as indicated to the contrary) may transact business on this account.  However, we may at some time in the future restrict or prohibit further use of this account if you fail to comply with the requirements we have imposed within a reasonable time.

Restrictive Legends - We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on items you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in writing signed by an officer of Heart of Louisiana Credit Union. Examples of restrictive legends are "must be presented within 90 days" or "not valid for more than $1,000.00."

Facsimile Signatures - You authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, or other orders, for the payment of money, that are drawn on us regardless of by whom or by what means the facsimile signaturee(s) may have been affixed so long as they resemble the facsimile signature specimen on the signature card or that are filed separately with us, and contain the required number of signatures for this purpose.

Right To Repayment Of Indebtedness - You each agree that we may (without prior notice and when permitted by law) charge against and deduct from this account any due and payable debt owed to us now or in the future, by any of you having the right of withdrawal to the extent of such persons' or legal entity's right to withdraw.  If the debt arises from a note, "any due and payable debt" includes the total amount of which we are entitled to demand payment under the terms of the note at the time we charge the account, including any balance the due date for which we properly accelerate under the note.

Our right to repayment does not apply to: (a) and individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred retirement account, or (b) debt created by a consumer credit transaction under a credit card plan, or (c) the debtor's right of withdrawal arises only in a representative capacity.  We will not be liable for the dishonor of any check or draft when the dishonor occurs because we charge and deduct an amount you owe us from your account.  You agree to hold us harmless form any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right to repayment.

Notice of Varying Amounts - If these regular payments may vary in amount, the company you are to pay will tell you 10 days before each payment when it will be made and how much it will be.  (You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment or when tht amount would fall outside certain limits that you set).

Liability for Failure to Stop-Payment of Pee-authorized Transfer - If you order us to stop one of these payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

 OUR LIABILITY

Liability for Failure to Make Transfers - If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages.


There are some exceptions to our liability, however, and some circumstances where your account could be subject to fee or service charge. We will not be liable, for example:

* If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer;
* If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line;
* If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken;
* There may be other exceptions in our agreement with you.

DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION
TO THIRD PARTIES

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

* Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
* In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
* In order to comply with a government agency or court orders;
* If you give us written permission.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Visa Check Card or your Personal Identification Number (PIN) has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days, you will have no loss if someone used your Visa Cheek Card or your PIN without your permission.

If you do not tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Visa Cheek Card or your PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Visa Check Card or PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

If you believe your Visa Check Card or your PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred money from your account without your permission, call or write us at the telephone number or address in this document.

 ERROR RESOLUTION

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this brochure as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

* Give us your name and account number;
* Describe the error, or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information;
* Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error;

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or questions in writing within 10 business days.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction or a foreign initiated transfer) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly.  If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a point-of -sale transfer or a foreign initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or questions.  If we decide to do this we will re-credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transfer or a foreign initiated transfer) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investiagation.

If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not re-credit your account.

If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three business days after we finish our investigation.  If your account had been credited while we investigated, we will debit your account for the original transaction.  You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

 FUNDS AVAILABILITY DISCLOSURE

This policy statement applies to all account types. Generally, policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you immediately. At that time, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay share drafts (checks) that you have written. In certain instances, however, we will not make all funds deposited immediately available for withdrawal or to pay checks you have written. See the "LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY" and "SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS" sections below for details.

Please remember that even after we have made funds available to you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit.

For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit on a day we arc not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.

If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another bank, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

If we accept for deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

 LONGER DELAYS MAY APPLY

In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you immediately. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second to tenth business day after the day of your deposit. (See below.) However, the first $100 of your deposits will be available immediately.

If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available immediately, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit.  We will also tell you when the funds will be available.  If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.  Funds generally will be available no later than the tenth business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds you deposit by cheek may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:

* You deposit a check drawn on a foreign (not Alexandria USDA Federal Credit Union) institution;
* We believe a check you deposit may not be paid;
* You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day;
* You re-deposit a check that has been returned unpaid;
* You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months;
* You deposit a post-dated, stale-dated, or possibly altered check;
* There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.

SPECIAL RULES FOR NEW ACCOUNTS

If you are a new member, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.

Funds from electronic direct deposits into your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit.  Funds from deposits into your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit.   Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state and local government checks will be available immediately if the deposit meets certain conditions.  For example, the checks must be payable to you.  The excess over $5,000 will be available on the seventh or tenth (for "local" or "non-local" items) business day after the day of your deposit.  If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.

Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the tenth business day after the day of your deposit, excluding the first $100.00 which will be available immediately.
