Terms That Apply to all Accounts
Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day of deposit.
Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period.
The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
All accounts have variable dividend rates and may change as determined by the Board of Directors. Above are prospective dividend rates for the current period.
Following are examples of dividend periods. All other dividend periods follow the same pattern of dates: Monthly Jan 1-Jan 31; Quarterly Jan 1-Mar 31. Above are prospective dividend rates for the current dividend period.
The Board of Directors reserves the right not to pay accrued dividends if an account is closed before dividends are paid.
Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves, at the end of a dividend period.
Fees may reduce earnings.
