A credit report is the collection of account, public record, inquiry and identification information. It also includes your history of taking out and paying loans. Under federal law, you’re allowed to receive one free copy of your credit report from each credit-reporting agency every 12 months.
You can request your free credit report in two ways:
Contact the credit reporting agency and the company that’s reporting the incorrect information to fix an error. Learn more about how to clean up your credit report.
A credit score is like a quick snapshot of your credit report. Through a mathematical formula, a score is created to predict how likely you are to default on a loan payment. Check out the factors that affect your credit score.
When there are multiple inquiries for your credit score in a short time frame, it’s assumed that you’re shopping around for a good rate. With the VantageScore model, there is a 14-day rolling window for credit inquiries. This means that you could have multiple inquiries for your credit score, but if they are all made within the 14-day time frame then it’ll only count as one inquiry.
There is a unique saver's tax credit available for qualifying taxpayers who contribute to an IRA. The credit is in addition to any applicable deduction or exclusion. To claim the credit, you must be at least age 18, not a full-time student, and not claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return. See your tax professional for more information.
Yes, you can. But remember that you have one contribution limit per year which includes both types of IRAs. You cannot contribute the limit to each.
It's up to you. You can make one contribution or you can spread it out over the year.
The above information is not intended as tax advice. Please consult a tax professional regarding your specific circumstances.
Yes, Capital Spring Field Bank is federally insured by the NCUA.
The NCUA is the National Credit Union Administration. This government agency monitors, charters, and regulates all federal credit unions.
The NCUSIF stands for the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which is operated by the NCUA. Thanks to the NCUSIF, your funds are backed in full faith by the U.S. government up to $250,000 per person per membership at each institution. However, your coverage depends on your specific account ownership. Additional accounts, such as an IRA or trust account, can increase your coverage.
The funds in share accounts are covered and federally insured by the NCUA. Share accounts include savings, checking, CD, money market, and IRA accounts. Investment and insurance accounts, like mutual funds, stocks, bonds or annuities, are not federally insured.
Under the NCUSIF, you are covered up to $250,000 at each federally insured institution. This coverage is a combined total of the balances in all share accounts for each individual under each membership number. Share accounts include savings, checking, CD, money market, and IRAs.
For example, let’s say you had $15,000 in your savings account and $250,000 in your checking account for a total of $265,000. Up to $250,000 is covered in your accounts, which means that $15,000 is not covered. You may want to consider moving the excess funds in your savings and checking account to a new account, like an IRA or trust account, to ensure full coverage of all of your funds.
You can learn more about your coverage limits using a Share Insurance Estimator calculator1 or on the NCUA website1.
When two people are joint on an account with no beneficiaries, funds for each person on the account are covered up to $250,000. For example, let’s say you have a joint checking account with your spouse, and $500,000 is in the account. Your share of the account is covered up to $250,000 and your spouse also has coverage up to $250,000. That means that all of the funds in this account are insured. If the balance exceeds $500,000, you may want to consider moving the excess funds to a new account, like an IRA or trust account, to ensure full coverage of all of your funds.
You can learn more about your coverage limits using a Share Insurance Estimator calculator1 or on the NCUA website1.
You can use the funds in your Savings or Certificates of Deposit, an automobile, RV, boat, and other items of value for collateral.
You may qualify to borrow money without collateral. This could be a fixed term loan or an open-end loan such as a credit card or Line of Credit.
There are several ways for you to choose from when making your loan payments. Choose online options that allow you to make instant, secure payments. Or choose an in-person option.

Yes, ATMs with deposit capability allow you to make deposits with your debit or ATM card. You can find ATMs with deposit capability on laketrust.org/locations
Yes, cash deposited at a Capital Spring Field ATM will be made available in your account immediately, as long as the ATM doesn’t use envelopes. However, at non-Capital Spring Field ATMs, cash may be placed on hold because we may not be able to verify what type of funds were deposited right away.
There are no holds on cash deposited to a Capital Spring Field account at a Capital Spring Field ATM. Cash over $500 that is deposited to a non-Capital Spring Field ATM may be subject to a one-business day hold. For example, if you deposit $700 in cash on Tuesday, $500 would be made available immediately and $200 would be available on Wednesday.
The hold for deposits made after 6 PM would start the following business day. For example, if you deposit $800 in cash on Tuesday at 7 PM, $500 would be made available immediately and $300 would be available on Thursday. If you need funds available in your account right away, find a Capital Spring Field ATM near you at laketrust.org/locations.
Yes, checks may be deposited at deposit-capable ATMs. These checks are subject to a standard hold on amounts over $225. See the questions below for more details.
When you deposit a check at an ATM, $225 is available immediately per deposit. The remaining funds are placed on hold for two business days. For example, if you deposit a check for $2,225 on Tuesday before 6 PM, $225 would be available in the account right away, while the remaining $2,000 would be available on Thursday. If you have questions about this hold, call us at 571.601.8290 or stop in at a branch.
Deposits made after 6 PM will be considered to be deposited the next business day. This means $225 would still be available to you immediately for check deposits over $225. The two-day hold for any remaining funds would start the next business day.
For example, if you deposit a check for $2,225 on Tuesday at 7 PM, $225 would be available in the account right away. The remaining $2,000 would be available on Friday. Cash deposited at a Capital Spring Field ATM is available immediately and would show up on your account activity for the next business day. Deposits made after 6 PM on a Friday would be considered a weekend deposit. See the question below for information.
Deposits made on a weekend will be considered to be deposited the next business day. Typically, this is the following Monday. If there is a holiday on Monday, then the deposit would post on Tuesday. This means that $225 of a check deposit would be available to you immediately and the two-day hold for any amount over $225 would start the next business day.
For example, if you deposit a check for $2,225 on Saturday or Sunday, $225 would be available in the account right away. The remaining $2,000 would be available on Wednesday, as long as Monday was a business day. Cash deposited at a Capital Spring Field ATM would be available immediately and show up on your statement for the next business day.
Per our Funds Availability Policy, we may place a hold on a check larger than $5,525 due to the amount of the check. With these holds, $225 would be available immediately, $5,300 would be available after two business days, and any remaining funds would available after 5 more business days.
Other options to deposit checks include night deposit (available at select branches) and mobile deposit with our mobile app. The Capital Spring Field app is available on the App Store1 or on Google Play1.
Account Transfer. By linking your savings account, Money Market Savings, or line of credit (LOC) to your checking account, we can transfer funds to cover a transaction. This may be less expensive than our other overdraft solutions. You may link up to two accounts per checking account.
Courtesy Pay. This is our discretionary standard overdraft solution that comes automatically with your checking account and covers checks and other transactions, such as automatic bill payments or ACH transactions. Fees apply. See fee schedule for more details.
Debit Card Coverage. This covers your everyday (one-time) debit card transactions. Fees apply. See fee schedule for more details. Call us or stop by a branch to opt-in for this service.
If you don’t have enough money in your account for an everyday (one-time) debit card transaction to process, no worries! With Debit Card Coverage, we may authorize the debit card transaction to go through for you if you ask us to. This will save you from the headache and hassle of having a transaction declined. Debit Card Coverage does not cover recurring debit card transactions. There is a fee for this service. See fee schedule for more details.
Stop by any branch or give us a call at 571.601.8290 and let us know that you’d like to enroll in Debit Card Coverage. If you change your mind, you can opt out at any time.
There’s a $32 fee for each debit card transaction that is paid when there aren’t enough funds in your account. If you never use your Debit Card Coverage, there’s no charge.
The transaction was most likely a recurring transaction that you set up in advance by using your debit card, such as a subscription (like Netflix, Xbox Live, Amazon Prime, or Blue Apron) or a monthly bill payment (like a gym membership, utilities, or cell phone bill). Opting out of Debit Card Coverage means that we’ll decline everyday (one-time) transactions, like purchases at a store. Since you have to give authorization to a merchant when setting up a recurring transaction, we cannot stop or decline the payment. Contact the merchant to set up other payment arrangements, like using a credit card.
OPTING IN to Debit Card Coverage means you are authorizing Capital Spring Field to pay your everyday (one-time) debit card transactions and charge an overdraft fee when you don’t have enough funds in your account to cover these transactions. Debit Card Coverage does not cover recurring debit card transactions.
If your account has insufficient funds when a recurring debit card transaction comes in, then your account will be charged an NSF fee regardless if you opted in to Debit Card Coverage or not.
OPTING OUT of Debit Card Coverage means you do not want Capital Spring Field to pay your everyday (one-time) debit card transactions. These transactions will be declined at the merchant when making a purchase if you don’t have enough funds in your account.
We look at your actual balance to determine if you have enough funds in your account to cover the debit card transaction.
Your actual balance (also known as current balance) is the amount of money you have in your account. This does not include any outstanding items, such as checks written or debit card purchases authorized but not posted. Your available balance is the actual balance (or current balance) minus any debit card purchases that have been authorized but not yet posted to your account.
The available and actual balances do not include any checks that you have written that have not cleared or posted to your account.
Example: You have a $100 actual balance. You make a $70 debit card purchase, which may put a hold on your account for the purchase amount; so your available balance is now $30 ($100 - $70 debit card purchase) and your actual balance is still $100 ($70 debit card purchase was authorized, but not posted to your account). You then make a $30 debit card purchase using your PIN. PIN-based debit card purchases generally post to your account faster than a purchase without using your PIN.
Your available balance is now $0 ($100 - $70 debit card purchase - $30 PIN debit card purchase). But your actual balance may still be $100 (if it is the weekend) or it may now be $70 ($100 - $30 PIN debit card purchase). When the $70 debit card purchase posts to your account ($100 - $30 PIN debit card purchase - $70 debit card purchase), your actual balance and available balance are $0.
We do offer an Account Transfer option if you’re looking for a less expensive alternative to Debit Card Coverage. This means we’ll try to pull money from your savings account or line of credit if your checking account doesn’t have enough money to cover a transaction. Keep in mind, however, that a debit card transaction will be denied if you don’t have funds in your savings account or line of credit.
There’s a $5 account transfer fee per transfer for personal accounts. There’s a $10 account transfer fee per transfer for business accounts. See our fee schedule to learn more.
Courtesy Pay covers any checks, bill payments, or automatic payments that pull directly from your checking account (ACH payment). With Courtesy Pay, you don’t have to worry about bounced checks or late bill payments.
Courtesy Pay automatically comes with your checking account, so you don’t have to opt in. Courtesy Pay covers electronic payments or a transaction done with a check that pulls directly from your checking account. It does not cover debit card transactions. However, Debit Card Coverage does cover everyday (one-time) debit card transactions.
We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we don’t guarantee we’ll always authorize and pay a transaction. If we don’t authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined.
There’s a $32 fee for each check, automatic bill payment, or ACH transaction that is paid when there aren’t enough funds in your account. If you never use your Courtesy Pay, there’s no charge. However, you may still incur an NSF fee (see question above). See fees on our fee schedule.
Yes. Your device does not store your physical debit or credit card numbers. Instead, a unique transaction code is generated each time you make a purchase using your digital wallet. A PIN, fingerprint scan, or face scan is required to verify your identity before a purchase is made.

Your physical debit and cards are still active after you add them to digital wallet. That means you can still use your debit and credit cards at any store. If you don’t plan on carrying your physical cards with you, however, make sure you secure them in a safe location (like a home safe).
If you lose your physical debit or credit card, give us a call at 571.601.8290 and we’ll deactivate your card. You can also shut off your card in the CardValet app. It’s a good idea to shut off your card as soon as you notice that it’s missing to prevent the potential of any unauthorized transactions.
You have to use your Touch ID or enter a passcode before you make a purchase using your digital wallet. However, it’s still a good idea to turn off your card until you find your device. Give us a call at 571.601.8290 to let us know what happened. We can turn off your card to prevent potentially unauthorized transactions. You can also use the CardValet app to shut off your card if you have it installed on another device.
Digital wallet payments are accepted at thousands of stores worldwide, online, and within many apps. Look for the Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay symbol at the checkout terminal at your favorite store to see if they accept digital wallet payments. Open your digital wallet on your device and follow the instructions on the screen to make a payment. Learn more about where you can use Apple Pay1, Google Pay1, and Samsung Pay1.

Monthly prizes will be awarded among all participating credit unions. Monthly prizes include the following:
Partnership Monthly Prizes: Winners will be randomly selected between all eligible account holders at all credit unions participating in the Save to Win program. A complete list of prizes and other information can be found on the www.savetowin.org1 website.
Capital Spring Field Bank Monthly Prizes: Winners will be randomly selected between all eligible account holders at Capital Spring Field.
Yes. The number of prize entries is based on the increase in your monthly balance. You'll receive ONE entry in the monthly prize drawing for every $25 increase in monthly balance in the account. The maximum number of entries per member per month is 10.
If you deposit $100 within the month and then withdraw it after the drawing, then you will not receive any entries for the following month. Any withdrawal (including the penalty) that exceeds the deposit for the month will disqualify you from the drawing. Your balance must go up by at least $25 in order to qualify for the drawing. For example, to receive an entry for the following month you will need to re-deposit the $100 plus an additional $25 to receive one entry in the drawing. There is only ONE withdrawal allowed during the term of the certificate (12 months) with a $25 penalty fee.
Drawings for monthly prizes will be conducted within fourteen days of the end of the month. For example, the drawing for July's entries will be held in August.
Winners will be notified by phone during the following month. For example, if you win July's monthly drawing, you'll be notified in August. The monthly cash prizes will be deposited to your savings account as interest and be listed as an Interest Adjustment.
You cannot win more than one prize in a month, but you can win multiple months and even consecutive months. All monthly prize winners are eligible for the grand prize drawing.
If you need extra cash from your traditional CD, you can withdraw the amount you need, starting at a minimum of $1,000, but there is a penalty on the amount you withdraw early:
You'll receive a notice 30 days before your CD matures that explains your options. Unless you choose not to renew, we'll automatically reinvest your funds for the same term at the current interest rate. In either case, you have a 10 business day grace period after the maturity date to withdraw all or a portion of your money without penalty.
