*** To qualify for the Dream Home Share Certificate, the member must have an open mortgage application with Firefighters First Credit Union. The initial term is 4 months with a minimum balance of $5,000 and allows unlimited additional deposits. One penalty-free withdrawal is permitted during the term, provided the funds are used as a down payment on a home financed through Firefighters First Credit Union. All other early withdrawals may be subject to penalties. At maturity, if the member still has an open mortgage application, the certificate will automatically roll into a 6-month Dream Home Share Certificate at the then-current rate, which also allows unlimited deposits and one penalty-free withdrawal under the same down payment condition. If there is no open application at that time, it will instead roll into a standard 6-month share certificate at current rates. Upon maturity of the 6-month Dream Home Share Certificate, it will convert to a standard 6-month share certificate at prevailing rates regardless of mortgage status. Rates are subject to change, and all funds used for penalty-free withdrawals must be verified as going toward a qualifying home purchase with Firefighters First Credit Union. Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. All loans subject to credit approval.
A penalty will or may be imposed for early withdrawal. Fees can reduce earnings on an account. All rates subject to change without notice.

See Your Account Agreement for details.
How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases).”
Billing Rights: Information on Your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in Your Account Agreement.
The balances subject to the periodic Finance Charge are the average daily transactions balances outstanding during the month (including new transactions). To get the average daily balance, We take the beginning balance of Your Account each day, add any new purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, debit adjustments or other charges and subtract any payments, credits and unpaid Finance Charges. This gives Us the daily balance. Then, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide them by the number of days in the billing cycle. The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is computed by multiplying the average daily balance subject to a Finance Charge by the Monthly Periodic Rate.
You can avoid Finance Charges on purchases by paying the full amount of the entire balance owed each month within 25 days of Your statement closing date. Otherwise, the new balance of purchases, and subsequent purchases from the date they are posted to Your Account, will be subject to a Finance Charge. Balance transfers and cash advances are always subject to a Finance Charge from the later of the date they are posted to Your Account or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account.
If You are charged interest, the charge will be no less than $1.00.
Your Platinum VISA, California Professional Firefighters VISA, Professional Firefighters of Arizona VISA, and Washington State Council of Fire Fighters VISA are subject to a Monthly Periodic Rate of 0.7492% – 1.4158% (corresponding to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 8.99% – 16.99%), based on Your creditworthiness.
