Freedom Checking

MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS.

No minimum balance requirements apply to this account.

DORMANT/INACTIVE ACCOUNT INFORMATION.

A dormant account fee of $5.00 per month will be charged after 12 months of inactivity.

PROCESSING ORDER.

You understand that when two or more checks are presented for payment on the same day, the law allows us to pay them in any order. We pay items based on our available balance. The available balance is your actual balance minus any holds. Items presented for payment may not be processed in the same order as they were received and that order may affect the total fees assessed to your account. Generally the first items that we pay are ATM withdrawals, debit card transactions, and any checks cashed at Woodlands Bank or that you have written to us. We then pay any items that were submitted electronically, such as ACH items, preauthorized automatic transfers, telephone-initiated transfers and any other electronic transfers. Finally, we pay the remaining items in serial number order. We can, in good faith, choose a different order of payment after giving you any legally required notice. The processing order of these items is important because if there is not enough money in the account to pay for the items in the order they are processed in accordance with the processing order, there may be an overdraft on your account which may result in overdraft or non-sufficient funds fees or an increase in the amount of these fees.

OVERDRAFT PRIVILEGE PROGRAM.

Overdraft Privilege (ODP) is a service we provide to our checking account customers to cover inadvertent overdrafts. The service is subject to the eligibility criteria and other constraints as outlined in the Overdraft Privilege Disclosure provided separately.

TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS.

No transaction limitations apply to this account.

FEES AND CHARGES.

Please refer to the separate Fee Schedule provided to you with this disclosure for information about fees and charges associated with this account. A Fee Schedule will be provided to you at the time you open an account, periodically when fees or charges change, and upon request.

There is a small fee for these checks and they are only issued to bank customers.
