All Kasasa Accounts Qualification Information: To earn your rewards, the following enrollments must be in place and all transactions and activities must post and settle to your Kasasa account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle:

  • At least one direct deposit, ACH credit, or ACH payment transaction(s),
  • At least 15 PIN-based or signature-based debit card purchases,
  • Be enrolled in and have agreed to receive -statements, rather than paper statements.

Account transactions and activities may take one or more days to post and settle to the account, and all must do so during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in order to qualify for the account’s rewards.

The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our credit union as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions and purchases made with debit cards not issued by our credit union. Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards.

“Monthly Qualification Cycle” is defined as the last day of the previous month through the day before the last day of the current month. Contact us at 1.800.424.3334 for specific Monthly Qualification Cycle dates.

“Statement Cycle” means the period of time for which our credit union provides a summary of the financial activities and transactions that post and settle to the accountholder’s account. Contact us at 1.800.424.3334 for specific Statement Cycle dates.

The Kasasa Cash, Kasasa Cash Back, Kasasa Eats accounts are intended to be the accountholder’s primary share draft (checking) account in which payroll transactions, and day-to-day spending activities including but not limited to grocery, gasoline, apparel, shopping, dining, sporting and entertainment transactions are posted and settled. Commensurate with the spending activities identified above, we expect the account’s debit card to be used frequently throughout each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range. Small debit card transactions conducted on the same day at a single merchant and/or multiple transactions made during a condensed time period particularly near the end of a Monthly Qualification Cycle are not considered normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account’s rewards and thus will be deemed inappropriate transactions and will not count toward earning the account’s rewards. CommonWealth One FCU reserves the right to determine if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day, primary use. Accountholders who persist in making debit card transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet their monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different share draft account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different share draft account if the account does not have consistent active use over 3 consecutive Statement Cycles (90 days). We have the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. Our decision to close an account will not affect your existing obligations to us including any obligation to pay fees or charges incurred prior to termination. No deposits will be accepted, and no checks will be paid after the account is closed. If the account is closed, you will forfeit any rewards that have not been credited to your account. A CommonWealth One FCU check for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to accountholder at the address indicated on our current records. Upon termination of your Kasasa account(s), any optional add-on products / services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.
