HOW INTEREST IS EARNED ON YOUR ACCOUNT
The daily balance method is used to calculate the interest on the account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the daily collected balance in the account each day. For tiered rate accounts, the rate corresponding to your daily Collected Balance will be applied to your entire daily Collected Balance. Interest on deposits begins to accrue no later than the business day on which we receive credit for the deposit. Accrued interest that is credited to the balance in the account on the first business day of the following statement cycle. Accrued interest that is credited to the balance in the account begins to earn interest no later than the next business day and compounds with each statement cycle. If you close your account or convert your account to a non-interest earning account before accrued interest, if any, is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. A taxpayer identification number will be required to earn interest on these accounts.
Collected Balance is your account balance minus any funds you have deposited that have not been collected from the financial institution on which the deposited funds are drawn.
