Balance Definitions and Computations: 

  • Definitions: The minimum daily balance is the ledger balance in your account on any calendar day. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The combined average daily balance is the aggregate average daily balance in the linked accounts. Advantage and Bonus Checking maintenance fees can be offset by the combined average daily balances in the primary owner's Savings, CDs and IRAs.
  • Balance Computations: The daily balance method is used to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Your interest rate and annual percentage yield (APY) may change at our discretion at any time. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks). Interest bearing checking accounts, Accelerated Savings, Accelerated Savings Plus, and Money Market Savings, and High Yield Savings compound and credit monthly. Accelerated Savings, Accelerated Savings Plus, and High Yield Savings will receive quarterly statements. Statement Savings compound and credit quarterly. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will forfeit this interest at the time of closure.

Overdraft/NSF Fees Applicable to both Checking and Savings Accounts

1 occurrence $28 per item
2 or more occurrences $36 per item
Fees assessed for overdraft (paid) items or non-sufficient funds (returned) items will be based on the number of non-sufficient balance occurrences during a specific time period. This period of time is defined as the previous 12 months plus the current month. An occurrence is any day that an item is presented for payment against your account on which the account balance does not have sufficient funds to pay that item. See your Deposit Account Rules for a description of items.

Continuous Negative Balance Fee:

If your account remains overdrawn for 7 or more consecutive days, you will incur a Continuous Negative Balance Fee after every 7th calendar day until the account is brought to a positive balance.

Overdraft Transfer Account $10 per transfer
