2. Nature of Dividends.

Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period.

3. Dividend Compounding and Crediting.

The compounding and crediting frequency of dividends and dividend period applicable to each account are stated in the Rate Schedule. The Dividend Period is the period of time at the end of which an account earns dividend credit. The Dividend Period begins on the first calendar day of the period and ends on the last calendar day of the period.

4. Accrual of Dividends.

For all accounts, dividends will begin to accrue on non-cash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. If you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, you will not receive the accrued dividends. However, for Holiday Club accounts, any accrued dividends will be paid if you close the account within seven (7) days of the date you open it.

5. Balance Information.

To open any account, you must deposit or already have on deposit at least the par value of one full share in a Regular Share account. The current par value is $10.00. Some accounts may have additional minimum opening deposit requirements. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are stated in the Rate Schedule. If the minimum daily balance is not met each day of the dividend period, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield. For accounts using the Daily Balance method as stated on the Rate Schedule, dividends are calculated by applying a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day.

6. Account Limitations.

For the EzStart Savings the member must be 0-14 years and have eStatements. On their 15th birthday if they have not already established an active checking account, debit card and estatements, the funds will be transferred into the Regular Savings account and the EzStart account will be closed. For the Ez$ Savings the member must be age 24 and under, have an active checking account, debit card and eStatements. On their 25th birthday, funds will be transferred into the Regular Savings and Ez$ account will be closed. Active checking is defined as having at least (3) transactions occurring within the checking account each month. **A transaction is defined as the following: PIN or Point of Sale transaction with the use of a Debit Card, ACH transaction, cleared check transfer, deposit and/or direct deposit within the account.

For Holiday Club accounts, the entire balance will be transferred to your savings account on or after November 1st each year and the account will remain open. If you withdraw funds from your account, the account will be closed and you may have a penalty of dividends that have been or would be earned on the account for the year. However, no penalty will be charged if the withdrawal occurs within seven (7) days of the date the account is opened. In addition, for Holiday Club accounts, you must establish automatic transfer or direct deposit arrangements in order to open an account.

Overdrawing Accounts: Fees may be imposed on each check, draft, item, debit card withdrawal, debit card point of purchase, preauthorized automatic debit, telephone initiated withdrawal or any other electronic withdrawal or transfer transaction that is drawn on an insufficient available account balance. If you opted in to having your ATM/debit card withdrawals and one-time debit card point of sale purchases covered if you have insufficient funds available, you may incur fees on each of those transactions also.
