Interest Bearing Checking Accounts

These accounts earn interest at a rate that is established at the discretion of the bank. Your interest rate and annual percentage yield may change.

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. Interest is not compounded.

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

Interest will be credited to your account at the end of the statement period.

If the account is closed prior to the end of the statement period, interest through the prior business day will be paid at the time the account is closed.

Under Federal Law the Bank may require written notice of an intended withdrawal from an interest earning account seven (7) days before withdrawal.

Please review a current interest rate disclosure to determine the interest rate and annual percentage yield on this account.
