General Account Conditions:
- The Credit Union's dividend rate and Annual Percentage
Yield (APY) may change weekly, however, once your certificate is issued
your dividend rate will remain fixed until maturity unless you have
a 4 to 5 year “bump rate” certificate and elect a one-time
interest rate bump.
- Dividends are compounded and posted quarterly and
at maturity to the certificate unless you request that the dividends
be transferred to your savings account.
- The APY is based on the assumption that dividends will remain on deposit until maturity.
- Dividends begin to accrue no later than the day credit
is received under the availability schedule established by Regulation
CC.
- Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day
you acquire your certificate. If your check is returned NSF the certificate
will be redeemed and no dividends will be earned.
- Once a certificate is created, no deposits or withdrawals
will be allowed.
- If your certificate is redeemed before maturity, dividends
shall be payable from date of issuance to date of redemption at a
rate of 1% below the current regular savings simple interest. The
Credit Union may omit this penalty in case of death of owners, when
the individual becomes legally incompetent, or when IRA terms allow.
- If this certificate is issued in the name of two or
more individuals, as joint tenants, they shall hold the account with
right of survivorship. The Credit Union can honor the withdrawal order
of any joint owner.
- If the account is opened under the conditions of Payable
on Death (POD), ownership of account shall vest in the POD payee(s)
upon proof of death of all of the original payee(s).
- Your savings certificate will automatically be transferred
into the designated savings account on the maturity date.
- Your certificate is not transferable and may not be
pledged or assigned except to the Credit Union. IRA deposits may not
be pledged or assigned at any time.
- Savings certificates require a minimum opening balance
of $500. A $25 membership share is required.
- Share certificates with a 4 to 5 year maturity have
a one-time interest rate “bump” option. You can notify
the Credit Union anytime during the original term of the certificate
to adjust the rate to the 48-month certificate rate in effect on the
date of the notification. Only one rate “bump” is allowed
during the term of the original certificate. It is your responsibility
to notify the Credit Union on the business day you want the rate “bump”
to take effect and to notify the Credit Union immediately if the “bump”
rate does not appear on your next Credit Union account statement.
Only certificates opened on or after October 1, 2003 are eligible
for the “bump” option. The “bump rate” is
not retroactive and only applies from the business day you requested
the “bump” to the original maturity date of the certificate.
All other terms of the original certificate, including the maturity
date, remain unchanged.
