*Digital assets (cryptocurrencies) are made available and held in a self-custodial digital wallet through BankSocial, a third party, not SUMA Federal Credit Union (SUMA FCU). BankSocial is not an affiliate of SUMA FCU. Digital assets are (1) not federally insured by NCUA; (2) not obligations of SUMA FCU; (3) not guaranteed by SUMA FCU; (4) heavily speculative and volatile; (5) may have associated fees; and (6) may not allow member recourse.

**Fees are calculated based on the transaction amount and subtracted from the crypto received. This fee schedule ensures fair and accessible transactions for all members. Sending or Receiving digital assets is no charge, other than a passthrough network fee (called ‘gas’). Off-ramp (SELL) fees will be slightly higher than on-ramp fees because off-ramping (SELL) provides added convenience by directly converting crypto into USD within the user’s account. This fee schedule is subject to change in response to market conditions or operational considerations. SUMA FCU will notify you should any adjustments become necessary. Membership required.
