Disclosures

1
You must maintain at least $1,000 in qualifying monthly direct deposits into your Value Checking account to be eligible for the listed benefits. The qualifying direct deposits must come from a payroll source added to an active First Entertainment Value Checking account. A grace period of up to 90 days will be provided to accommodate gaps in employment. Should the grace period lapse, and you no longer meet the requirement, you will not be eligible for the listed benefits until the requirements are met again. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans are limited to one initial grace period of 90 days from taking out the loan to meet the direct deposit requirements. Advantage, Youth, and Business Checking accounts do not qualify. ATM fee rebates will be deposited into your Value Checking account at the end of each month based upon the amount of non-First Entertainment ATM surcharge-fees charged to the account. The maximum total ATM fee rebate is $15 per account, regardless of the number of joint owners or debit cards issued. Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans must be set up for auto payments from a Value Checking account and meet the direct deposit requirements stated above within 90 days of funding the loan to qualify for the discount. Should you no longer meet this requirement, you will not be eligible for the listed benefit during the life of your loan. Offer is valid on ARM loans funded after April 1, 2024, only. Existing First Entertainment loans funded prior to April 1, 2024, do not qualify.
