Minor savings accounts will convert to the standard account guidelines after the client reaches age 18.

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,  Bonus and Premium 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 compound and credit monthly. Accelerated Savings, Accelerated Savings Plus will receive quarterly statements.  Statement Savings and Let It Grow Gift Account compound and credit quarterly.  If you close your account before interest is credited, you will forfeit this interest at the time of closure
