Life Insurance

Your Savings Account Includes Life Insurance Coverage

We calculate our dividends through the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate to your account balance each day. Withdrawals are available by fax, email, or in person.

When you deposit money in one of our saving accounts, you'll receive life insurance coverage that will protect you if you are ever unable to perform the duties attached to your job. 

As long as you maintain savings in our credit union, your life insurance remains in force. In the event of your death, your heirs receive both your savings and the insurance payment your savings provided. (No insurance is provided on savings deposits made once you turn 70 years old.)

Dividend Rate and APY (Annual Percentage Yield)

Account balances $100 - $99,999.99 APR will be .75%
Account balances $100,000 and above APR will be 1.00%

The dividend rate and APY may change every six month period, June and December,  as determined by the credit union's Board of Directors.

CD's

6 Month - 4.75%
1 year - 3.75%

Compounding

Dividends will be compounded semi-annual and credited semi-annual. The dividend period is six months. The beginning of the date of the first dividend period of the calendar is January 1st and the ending date is June 30th. The dividend declaration date is the third Tuesday in the last month of the period and for example will be the third Tuesday in June.

Effects of Closing an Account

If you close your account before dividends are paid, you will not be paid the accrued dividends for the period.

Minimum Balance Requirements

To open an account, you must have a minimum amount of $5.00. To earn the APY disclosed, you must maintain a minimum daily average balance of $101 for each day of the dividend period. You will not earn dividends for any day that your balance drops below $101.

 When Dividends are Calculated

Dividends are calculated using the daily balance method. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day.

 When Dividends Begin to Accrue

Dividends begin to accrue on cash and non-cash deposits, such as checks, on the business day you make your deposit.

 We Insure Your Savings

When you save money in your credit union, your savings provide life insurance for you if you are physically able to perform the usual duties of your occupation when your deposit is made. Every dollar you save up to $2,000 provides life insurance for you according to the following scale:
Each $1 you save before age 55 provides $1 of life insurance.
Each $1 you save from age 55 through age 59 provides $.75 of life insurance.
Each $1 you save from age 50 through age 64 provides $.50 of life insurance.
Each $1 you save from age 65 through age 69 provides $.25 of life insurance.
No insurance is provided on savings deposits made on or after age 70.

These amounts apply after six months of age. Each $1 deposited for an infant under six months of age provides $.25 of life insurance. This amount increases to 100% at age six months, subject to the plan's maximum.

As long as your savings are deposited in your credit union, your life insurance remains in force. In the event of your death, your family receives not only your savings; but also, the life insurance which your savings provided.
