  2. Member Eligibility. You understand that you must be a member in good standing to be eligible to enroll in or use RDC. Member in good standing means a member of the Credit Union for at least 90 days with no negative account balances, no past due loans and no dormant accounts. Also, you must be enrolled in online banking. You understand that we will notify you at the email address you
    provided of the status of your application for the RDC service.

We will notify you of any material change via e-mail or on our website by providing a link to the revised agreement.
