Dividend Rates are current as of the date posted above and are subject to change without notice.
Fees can reduce the earnings on the account.
* Dividends may be paid only from current income and accumulated earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of each dividend period. The dividend rate and annual percentage yield applicable to an account may therefore change from time to time as determined by the Credit Union's Board of Directors in its discretion. The dividend period of the Credit Union is monthly, beginning on the first day of such period and ending on the last day of the period. Dividends are earned from the day of deposit to the day of withdrawal. If you close your account before dividends are paid, you will receive the accrued dividends.
† Early withdrawal penalty may apply.
‡APY is accurate as of the last dividend declaration date.
