DIVIDEND COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING — Dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly. If a certificate term is extended, accrued dividends for the original certificate term will be credited on the first day of the term extension.
BALANCE INFORMATION — To open a share certificate, you must deposit a minimum of $500. The minimum amount required to earn dividends on the certificate term is $500 unless otherwise stated. Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the end of day balance in the certificate each day.
