Terms for both NOW and Super NOW accounts:
  • Your interest rate and annual percentage yield may change. At our discretion, we may change the interest rate on your account at any time.
  • Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (for example,checks).
  • If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
  • Interest paid on the full balance in the account at the rate that corresponds to that deposit tier.
  • Annual Percentage Yield (APY) assumes interest remains on deposit. Withdrawal of interest will reduce earnings.
