*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Early Withdrawal Penalty Fees could reduce earnings. Penalties will/may be imposed for early withdrawal on time accounts.
The Money Market Account has a $12 monthly service fee and the Premium Money Market Account has a $25 monthly service fee.
The Money Market and Premium Money Market are tiered accounts. Dividend rates for a particular tier, as disclosed above, will apply to the entire account balance once the minimum daily balance reaches the balance range for that tier.
The fee cycle for all accounts subject to the minimum daily balance requirement begins on the first day of the month and ends on the last day of the month. The minimum balance must be maintained in the account each day during the fee cycle to avoid the fee.
