Regarding Interest
Interest accrues from the first day we receive credit for the items you deposit. Interest is paid monthly. We reserve the right to require at any time a written notice 7 days before each withdrawal from an interest-bearing account, which includes demand accounts and savings accounts, but does not include time deposit accounts. We will notify you if our decision to exercise this right pertains to your account(s).



Sub-accounts - For regulatory and accounting purposes, your checking account is divided into two subaccounts: a transaction subaccount and a non interest bearing money market subaccount. These subaccounts are treated as a single account - the Checking Account - for purposes of minimum balance requirements, fees and charges, and account access. Your account statement and other records of your account activity (e.g., ATM receipts) will reflect this account as a single account and will not reflect the subaccounts or transfer between the subaccounts in any way. You will have no direct access to the money market subaccount; you may access this subaccount only indirectly through transactions on your checking subaccount, as described below.

Whenever your transaction subaccount balance exceeds a threshold amount, we may transfer all funds in excess of that amount into the money market subaccount. As transactions post to the transaction subaccount reducing the transaction subaccount balance below zero, we will transfer funds back into the transaction subaccount from the money market subaccount. We may make up to six such transfers from the money market subaccount into the transaction subaccount per monthly statement period.

Upon the sixth such transfer in a monthly statement period, we will transfer the entire balance in the money market subaccount back to the transaction subaccount. We may repeat this process each monthly statement period. We set the transaction account balance threshold at our discretion and may change it at any time.
