Rate information on Rewards and Interest Checking
The annual percentage yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of interest to be paid on an account based on the interest rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. The interest rates and annual percentage yields are the rates and yield as of the last interest declaration date. The interest rate, annual percentage yield, and frequency of rate changes are listed in the Rate Schedule. The interest rate and annual percentage yield may change at our discretion.
Interest compounding and crediting
First National Bank of Moose Lake (FNBML) compounds interest monthly and credit interest monthly on accounts that earn interest (at the end of each statement cycle).
Balance for interest
We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on interest bearing accounts as shown on the Rate Schedule. You must maintain the minimum balances required in the Rate Schedule each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield.
Accrual of Interest on Non-Cash Deposits
Interest begins to accrue (only on interest bearing accounts) on the business day you deposit non-cash items (for example, checks).
Balance Information
All accounts have a minimum balance for opening. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are stated in the Rate Schedule. If the minimum daily balance is not met during each day of the statement cycle, there will be a service fee as stated in the Rate Schedule. If the minimum daily balance is not met each day of the statement cycle, you will not earn the stated annual percentage yield. For accounts using the daily balance method as stated in the Rate Schedule, interest is calculated by applying the daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day.
Maintenance Fees
If the balance during any one day in a statement cycle falls below the minimum as stated in the Rate Schedule you will be charged the fee listed in the Rate Schedule for that cycle. Fees may reduce earnings.
Effect of Closing an Account
If you close any account within 90 days of the opening date, you will be charged a fee of $25.00. To close any account that has been open over 90 days, you will be charged a fee of $5.00.
