DIVIDENDS
Dividends
for Regular Share Account and Share and IRA Certificate Accounts
are calculated by the Daily Balance Method which applies a daily
periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. Dividends
will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit cash or non-cash
items (e.g. checks) to your account.
FOR REGULAR SHARE ACCOUNT 7 HOLIDAY CLUB ACCOUNT: Dividends will be compounded quarterly and will be credited quarterly. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. If you close you account before dividends are paid, you will not receive the accrued dividends.
FOR SHARE AND IRA CERTIFICATE ACCOUNTS:
Dividends are compounded monthly and are paid monthly, quarterly,
or at maturity, as specified in the certificate at the original
opening date. Dividends are computed on the actual opening date.
Dividends are computed on the actual amount in the account. Dividends
are set by the Credit Union Board of Directors. Earned dividends
may be withdrawn without certificate penalty after close of any
dividend period.

REGULAR SHARE ACCOUNT & HOLIDAY CLUB ACCOUNT:
If you exceed more than 6 withdrawals in a calendar month,

be charged for each additional withdrawal if the amount is less

funds on deposit or (3) otherwise indicated an interest in the funds
on deposit, as evidenced by memoranda on file in the credit union.
AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS DEPOSITED
