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. The Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield are the prospective rates and yields that the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period. Except as otherwise noted, the Dividend Rate and Annual Percentage Yield for the account are variable and may change at any time at the discretion of the Credit Union.

Compounding and Crediting. Dividends will be credited monthly to your account and transferred to your Regular Savings Account. There will be no compounding of dividends in the Secured Card Savings Account. The dividend period begins on the first calendar day of each calendar month and ends on the last calendar day of each calendar month. The dividend period is monthly.

Balance Computation Method. Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method in which dividends are computed by applying a periodic rate to the average balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that sum by the number of days in the period.
Accrual of Dividends. Dividend will begin to accrue on cash and non-cash deposits (e.g., checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account.

Balance Information. The minimum balance required to open each account tis disclosed under the Minimum Opening Deposit column shown above. For Savings accounts, there is a minimum balance required to obtain the Annual Percentage Yield and to avoid a service fee. If the minimum balance is not met on any day, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield and there will be a monthly service fee.

Fees and Charges. See Service Charge schedule for a list of fees and charges that may be assessed against your account.

Transaction Limitations. Transfers, deposits and withdrawals from the Secured Card Savings account are restricted due to the security interest granted to the Credit Union.
