Truth in Savings
Share, Daily Market, Club and IRA Accounts
The dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change every dividend period as determined by the credit union board of directors.
Compounding and Crediting – Dividends will be compounded and credited as shown on the Share Rate Chart. For these accounts types, the dividend period is monthly, for example, the beginning date of the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1 and the ending date of such dividend period is January 31.
All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date follows the ending date of a dividend period, and for the example above is February 1. If you close your account before dividends are credited, you will not receive accrued dividends on your regular share and club accounts. You will receive dividends on your daily market share and IRA accounts to the date of close-out.
Balance Computation Method – Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in your account for the period. 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.
Accrual of Dividends – Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (e.g., checks) to your account.
Nature of Dividends – Dividends are paid from the current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
