Householding Membership Accounts
To possibly benefit from a higher Relationship tier, you and any other Tech CU member living at the same physical address may “household” your account balances together. Your account vesting remains as it is, protecting your right to privacy. Householding your account balances does not give any member in your household who is not a signer on your account the right to your private information including but not limited to your balance.
Example:
Sally, Joe, Sue, and Tom all live at the same physical address.
| > Sally has a Savings, Checking, and Car Loan Account vested in her name only. |
Total Balances: $15,000 |
| > Joe has Investments, a Certificate, and a Visa Credit Card vested in his name only. |
Total Balances: $50,000 |
| > Sue has a Savings and a Checking account vested in her name only. |
Total Balances: $1,500 |
| > Tom has a Home Equity Line of Credit vested in his name only. |
Total Balances: $20,000 |
Because all four of these individuals have separate accounts, no other member in this household has a right to any other member’s private information. They do, however, have the right to combine their aggregate balances for the sake of each of them qualifying for a higher Relationship tier. The total balances in this household are: $86,500 placing all four individuals in the Preferred Plus level.
