Time Requirements

Your account will mature _________________________________.

Early Withdrawal Penalties

A penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity.

  • If your account has an original maturity of one year of less, the penalty we may impose will equal three months’ dividends on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
  • If your account has an original maturity of more than one year, the penalty we may impose will equal six months’ dividends on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

There are certain circumstances, such as the death or incompetence of an owner, where we may waive or reduce this penalty.  See your plan disclosure if this account is part of an IRA or other tax qualified plan.

Withdrawal of Dividends Prior to Maturity

The annual percentage yield is based on an assumption that dividends will remain in the account until maturity.  A withdrawal will reduce earnings.

Automatically Renewable Account

This account will automatically renew at maturity.  You may prevent renewal if you withdraw the funds in the account at maturity (or within the grace period mentioned below, if any) or if we receive written notice from you within the grace period mentioned below, if any.  We can prevent renewal if we mail notice to you at least 30 calendar days before maturity.  If either you or we prevent renewal, your deposit will be placed in a dividend-bearing account.

Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date.  The dividend rate will be the same we offer on new term share accounts on the maturity date which have the same term, minimum balance (if any) and other features as the original term share account.

You will have a grace period of 30 calendar days after maturity to withdraw the funds without being charged an early withdrawal penalty.

Non-automatically Renewable Account
