  Today's Canadian Cash Exchange Rates:

 
 
WECU sells Canadian currency to Members: 0.9650
For example, if you want to exchange $100.00 US into Canadian currency, you would get $96.50 Canadian.
( $100.00 US   x   0.9650   =   $96.50 CAN )
For example, if you want to buy exactly $100.00 Canadian, it would cost you $103.63 US.
( $100.00 CAN   ÷   0.9650   =   $103.63 US )
WECU buys Canadian currency from Members: 0.9519
For example, if you want to deposit or exchange $100.00 of Canadian currency, you would get $95.19 US.
( $100.00 CAN   x   0.9519   =   $95.19 US )

  Notice: Repayment periods, conditions and rates are subject to change without notice.

*Subject to credit qualifications we will finance your purchase including tax, license, dealer options, warranty and insurance products.

**The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) you receive will be within the range disclosed above and is based on credit history, the amount being financed, and the value of any included collateral. These rates assume full relationship for the term of the loan. Full relationship means that you have both direct deposit of your paycheck to your primary checking account and automatic payment of your loan from the same account. Add .50% if you have only one of these relationships; add 1.00% if you have neither. If the automatic payment from your checking account has non-sufficient funds three times in a row, the automatic payment will be canceled and the interest rate on the advance will be increased accordingly.

***Term depends on amount being financed and age of collateral.

TRUTH-IN-SAVINGS DISCLOSURES:

Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts : 1. Rate Information. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield on your accounts are set forth above. Money Market Checking and Check Plus Dividend Rates and Annual Percentage Yields may change monthly, and all other accounts may change quarterly as approved by the board of directors.

2. Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield set forth above are accurate as of the Date which the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period.

3. Compounding and Crediting. Dividends will be compounded and credited as set forth above. The dividend period for all dividend bearing accounts begins on the first calendar day of the dividend period and ends on the last calendar day of the dividend period as set forth above.

4. Accrual of Dividends. Dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account.

5. Balance Information. The minimum balance required to open each account is set forth above. For Primary Savings, Sub-Savings, Summer Savings, and Money Market Checking, the minimum balance required to obtain the stated Annual Percentage Yield is set forth above. If the minimum balance is not met, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For Check Plus and Money Market Checking accounts, the minimum balance requirement and dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. For all Savings accounts, dividends and the applicable minimum balance requirements are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is determined by adding the full amount of the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. For Check Plus checking accounts, a fee will be charged every month a $1,000 minimum balance is not maintained. For Business Economy Checking accounts, a monthly fee will be charged every month a $250 minimum balance is not maintained; for Business Basic Checking accounts, a monthly fee will be charged every month a $1,500 minimum balance is not maintained.

6. Account Limitations. The account limitations for each account are set forth above. For Primary Savings, Sub-Savings, Summer Savings, and Money Market Checking accounts, transaction limitations will apply. No more than six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephone transfers may be made from these accounts to another account of yours or to a third party in any month, and no more than three (3) of these six (6) transfers may be made by check, or draft to a third party. If you exceed these limitations, your accounts may be subject to a fee or be closed. For Money Marketing Checking accounts, the minimum withdrawal amount is $100.

The rates appearing in the above Schedule are accurate and effective for Savings and Checking Accounts as of the Effective Date indicated. Fees could reduce earnings. If you have any questions or require current rate information on your accounts, please call the Credit Union at (360) 676-1168 or (800) 525-8703 or TTY (800) 833-6388.
