IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest in your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items, such as checks. Interest will be compounded and credited to your account every month on a checking account or quarterly on a savings account.

Your interest rate and annual percentage yield (APY) may change. The bank may change the interest rate on your account at any time, at our discretion.

The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.

Bounce Protection™ is an overdraft privilege requiring no action on your part.
