|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest Checking | 0.10% | 0.10% | $0 | $2,500 |
*APY= Annual Percentage Yield. Interest earned is based on Average Daily Balance for the month. Earn a dividend rate of 0.10% APY when the average daily balance is $2,500 or greater. Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method that applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The period we use is the calendar month. No dividend is earned when the average daily balance is less than $2,500. If the monthly average balance falls below $1,000, then a $5 monthly service charge will apply. A monthly maintenance fee will be applied if the primary member is not enrolled in Scient eStatements thru online banking. This fee is waived if the primary member is under the age of 18 or over the age of 65.
**Excludes surcharge imposed by the owner of foreign ATMs. Other terms and conditions may apply. Federally insured by NCUA.
