Truth in Savings Disclosure

Minimum balance to open the account

You must deposit and maintain a minimum balance on your account. This amount is dependent on the type of account.

Deposits & withdrawals

You can make additional deposits in any amount. The minimum withdrawal is $25.00. We have the right to require 60 days notice of a withdrawal. If you make a deposit by a check or other instrument like a check, you cannot withdrawal the amount of the check or instrument until we have collected it, or such earlier date as may be required by applicable law.

Variable rate feature

Your Interest Rate is variable and the Annual Percentage Yield may be changed at any time at our discretion.

Compounding and crediting frequency

Interest will be compounded monthly. This means that, for the purposes of computing interest, the interest that you have accrued is added to your balance monthly, and we compute interest from that date based on the new balance. Interest is credited to your account on the last day of each month.

Daily balance computation method

We use the Daily Balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

Accrual of interest on non-cash deposits

Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit cash or non-cash items (for example, checks).
