Important Information

The required minimum balance to open account is $5.00.
[2] Surcharge-free ATMs through the Co-op ATM Network must show Co-op ATM logo. ATM transactions performed at ATMs outside of the Co-op ATM Network may be subject to the ATM owner’s fee. Please visit our Online ATM/Branch Locator for a list of surcharge-free ATMs and Shared Branch locations.
[3] Bethpage will not charge an insufficient fund fee if Bethpage declines a transaction that may overdraw your account, however, the payee or merchant may assess a fee if a transaction is returned unpaid. In some instances, Bethpage may be required to pay certain transactions that will overdraw your account resulting in a negative balance, however, Bethpage will not charge an overdraft fee.
[4] The Student Savings Custodial UTMA Account is governed by the New York Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (“NYUTMA”). This account can be opened if the custodian or the minor is a resident of New York State and by opening such an account you agree that this account will be governed by NYUTMA. All funds deposited in the account irrevocably become the property of the minor, but are to be managed for the minor’s benefit by the custodian until the minor reaches the age of majority, at which time the custodian is responsible for distributing the funds to the minor. Only one custodian (who must be 21 or older) and one minor are allowed per account. The NYUTMA imposes certain fiduciary and record keeping obligations on an NYUTMA account custodian and requires that interest earnings are reported to the IRS under the minor’s Social Security number. Bethpage Federal Credit Union has no duty to monitor or ensure that the acts of the custodian are for the use or benefit of the minor or comply with the NYUTMA, or are otherwise permissible exercises of the custodian’s powers under the NYUTMA. If you are not certain whether NYUTMA account is the right choice for you, we strongly urge you to first seek professional legal, tax, investment and/or estate planning advice. The offering of NYUTMA accounts should not be construed in any way as the providing of legal or tax advice by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.
