Variable Rate Information
The dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change every dividend period. We may change the dividend rate for your account as determined by the Credit Union Board of Directors.
Compounding and crediting
Dividends will be compounded and credited quarterly. If you close your share account before dividends are paid, you will not receive the accrued dividends. For example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1st and the ending date of such dividend period is March 31st. All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date follows the ending date of a dividend period. For this example, it is March 31st.
Minimum Balance Requirements
The minimum balance is the purchase of a share in the credit union.
Balance computation Method
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.
Accrual of Dividends on Non-cash Deposits
Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (e.g. checks) to your account.
Transaction Limitations
During any statement period, you cannot make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another account or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer or telephonic order or instruction. No more than three of the six transfers may be made by check, draft, debit card, if applicable, or similar order to a third party. If you exceed the transfer limitations in any statement period, your account will be subject to closure by the credit union or to a fee listed on the fee schedule.
Bylaw Requirements
You must complete payment of one share in your Prime Share Savings account as a condition of admission to membership. If the balance in your Prime Share Savings account falls below $5.00, you may be terminated from membership immediately.
Nature of Dividends
Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
