Individual Retirement Accounts

Minimum Deposit To Open Account - $250.00
Rate InformationContact us for rate information. Interest rates will be determined by current rate in effect at maturity date for self-renewing accounts.
Daily Balance Computation – 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 Compounding And Crediting Frequency – interest is not compounded and is credited to your account at maturity.
If you close your account before the interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
Statement Period - Annually
Non-Cash Deposits, interest will begin to accrue on the next business day.
Penalty for Early Withdrawals – A penalty may be imposed for withdrawals made before maturity. For Maturities of 7-31 Days, the penalty for early withdrawal is the greater of (1) all interest earned on the amount withdrawn from the most recent date of deposit or last renewal, or (2) all interest that could have been earned on the amount withdrawn during a period equal to one-half of the maturity date, or (3) an amount at least equal to seven (7) days’ interest earned. For Maturities of 32 Days up to 365 Days, the penalty for early withdrawal is at least equal to (90) days interest earned or that could have been earned. For Maturities of 365 Days or More, the penalty for early withdrawal is at least equal to (180) days interest earned or that could have been earned
Renewal Policy – If a certificate is single maturity and does not automatically renew, present it promptly at maturity as no interest is payable after the maturity date. If the certificate will automatically renew, you will have a grace period of 10 days from maturity date to present this certificate for payment without penalty. If the certificate automatically renews, it will be renewed at the rate in effect at this institution on the date of maturity.
The annual percentage yield (APY) assumes that interest remains on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings. After the account is opened, you may not make any deposits into or withdrawals from the principal in the account until the maturity date.
Special rules apply to these accounts concerning contributions and distributions. See a Customer Service Professional for details.
