Except as specifically described, the following disclosures apply to all of the accounts. All accounts described in this Rate & Fee Schedule are share certificate accounts.


Rate Information

The Annual Percentage Yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For Share Certificate accounts, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are fixed and will be in effect for the term of the account. For accounts subject to dividend compounding, the Annual Percentage Yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity. A Withdrawal of dividends will reduce earnings.


Nature of Dividends

Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.


Dividend Compounding and Crediting

The compounding and crediting of dividends applicable to each account is set forth in the Rate Schedule. The Dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the Dividend Period and ends on the last calendar day of the Dividend Period. For Share Certificate accounts, dividends are paid to the share account or mailed to member.


Accural of Dividends

For Share Certificate accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on non-cash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. For Share Certificate accounts, if you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.


Balance Information

The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For Share Certificate accounts, dividends are calculated by the Daily Balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.


Transactional Limitations

After your account is opened, your ability to make additional deposits to your account or withdrawals of dividends and any limitations on such transactions are set forth in the Rate Schedule. For Share Certificate accounts, withdrawals of principal only are allowed but you must retain the minimum balance.


Maturity

Your account will mature as indicated on this rate and Fee Schedule or on your Account Receipt or Renewal Notice.


Early Withdrawal Penalty

We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.


Amount of Penalty

For Share Certificate accounts, the amount of the early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. The penalty schedule is as follows:

Terms of 12 months or less is 30 days dividends.

Terms of more than 12 months is 90 days dividends.


How the Penalty Works

The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.


Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalties

At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances:

  • When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction.
  • Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) days after establishment; or where the account is a Keogh Plan (Keogh) provided that the depositor forfeits an amount of at least equal to the simple dividends earned in the amount withdrawn; or where the account is an IRA or Keogh and the owner attains age 59 1/2 or becomes disabled.

Renewal Policy

The renewal policy for your accounts is indicated on the reverse side. For Share Certificate accounts, your account will not automatically renew, but you may renew the account at your option. Dividends will be paid after maturity and until payment or transfer of the account balance. The balance will be transferred to another account of yours and/or the balance will be paid to you by check.


Non-Transferable / Non-Negotiable

Your account is non-transferable and non-negotiable. The funds in your account may not be pledged to secure any obligation of an owner, except obligations with the Credit Union.
