Open Additional disclosures about our checking accounts
Disclosure of account terms: The following applies to all interest bearing accounts-We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on the account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. You must maintain the minimum balance in the account each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield. The interest rate and annual percentage yield will depend upon the daily balance in the account as shown on the Rate Sheet. The interest rate and annual percentage yield may change. At our discretion, we may change the interest rate on the account at any time. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (i.e. checks). Interest is compounded monthly and is credited to the account monthly. Interest on savings is compounded and credited quarterly. If the account is closed before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. Fees may reduce earnings.
