Reward Checking Account
Minimum deposit to open account - $25.00
Minimum balance to avoid fees – there is no minimum balance required on this account
Rate Information – Interest will be based on tiers. The daily balance in your account will determine which tier of interest will be used to calculate your interest for that day. Interest is compounded and credited on a monthly basis. Interest paid will be determined by the daily balance and the successful completion of all eligibility requirements shown below. The interest rate and APY on any tiers may change at any time. See rate sheet for current interest rate and annual percentage yield for each respective tier.
Tiered balance requirements for interest rates:
$0.00 - $24, 999.99
$25,000 or more
Daily balance computation – 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 compounding and crediting frequency – Interest is compounded and credited to your account monthly. Interest paid will be determined by the daily balance and successful completion of all account requirements shown below. You will be paid the higher rate of interest on your first statement cycle regardless of whether or not you met the requirements. On non-cash items, interest begins to accrue on the next business day. If you close your account before the interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
Eligibility Requirements – To qualify for Reward Checking rates, you must:
- Make 12 debit card point of sale transactions per “qualification cycle” (excludes ATM
transactions)
- Have one direct deposit or ACH debit per qualification cycle
- Maintain a valid e-mail address which you agree to provide to the bank
- Receive your monthly statement electronically during the qualification cycle (when this service is available)
Statement Period – The statement for this account will be generated monthly on the fourth Wednesday. The qualification cycle means a period beginning one day prior to the last statement through one day prior to the next statement.
ATM Fees – If you meet the account eligibility requirements, we will automatically refund the ATM fees applied to your account including surcharges of less than $5 that are imposed when using another bank’s ATM.

Certificates of Deposit
Interest will be credited to your account or paid to you monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, at maturity or as agreed upon.
The annual percentage yield (APY) assumes that interest remains on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.
After the account is opened, you may not make any deposits into or withdrawals from the principal in the account until the maturity date.
Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit any non-cash items (for example - checks).

Penalty for Early Withdrawal
Maturity of 7-31 days - the greater of (1) all interest earned on the amount withdrawn from the most recent of the date of deposit or last renewal, or (2) all interest that could have been earned on the amount withdrawn during a period equal to one-half of the maturity period, or (3) an amount at least equal to 7 days interest earned.
Maturity of 32 days or up to one year - an amount at least equal to one month of interest earned or that could have been earned.
Maturity of more than one year - an amount at least equal to three months of interest earned or that could have been earned.
Renewal Policy - If your certificate is SINGLE MATURITY and does not automatically renew, Present it PROMPTLY at maturity as no interest is payable after the maturity date. If your certificate will AUTOMATICALLY RENEW, you will have a grace period of 10 days from maturity date to present this certificate for payment without penalty. If the certificate automatically renews, IT WILL BE RENEWED AT THE RATE IN EFFECT AT THIS INSTITUTION ON THE DATE OF MATURITY.
