Additional Rate Information - The APY calculation is based upon a 12 month period. Any certificate of deposits with a maturity of less than a year will cause the annual percentage yield earned to be less based upon the actual term.

COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING - The annual percentage yield calculation assumes interest will remain on deposit. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. Depending upon the type of deposit account you open online, the interest accrual and compounding method may differ. Please see the interest accrual and compounding methods below.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR ACCOUNT - Any bonus or promotional offer, if applicable, will be reported to the IRS.

MATURITY DATE - The maturity date of your certificate of deposit is based upon its term and the initial date of your deposit. As an example, if you open a 12 month certificate of deposit on January 2nd and your funds are received on January 5th, your maturity date will be one year from January 5th.

EARLY WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS - Any withdrawal of principal prior to maturity, will result in a penalty of half (50%) of the term of interest.

RENEWAL POLICIES - Your account will automatically renew at maturity. You will have a grace period of 10 calendar days after the maturity date to withdraw the funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. We can prevent renewal if we mail notice to you at least 30 calendar days before maturity. If either you or we prevent renewal, interest will not accrue after final maturity. Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date. The interest rate will be that of the same term with rate posted on the date of maturity.
