Account Information
Some of our most valued products and services are the numerous accounts available. Member funds in these accounts are insured up to $250,000 per individual depositor, coverage that is guaranteed by the United States government through the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
All dividend earning accounts utilize the average daily balance computation method, which applies a daily periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period and divides that figure by the number of days in the period. The period we use is calendar month.
This formula is approved by the Truth-In-Savings Act which became effective January 1, 1995 for federally insured credit unions. The regulation is only one of many with which financial institutions must comply. Detailed and important information on others, such as Regulation CC (funds availability, check holds), Regulation D (limitations to certain transactions), and Regulation E (electronic funds transfers), in addition to Truth-In-Savings is provided elsewhere in this brochure.
