Certificate and IRA Rates

Minimum $500 to open and obtain dividends. Dividends are compounded and paid monthly. The Loyalty Pays Premium Certificate Rate is a special rate premium determined monthly when an eligible product meets the qualifications. The membership of the eligible certificate must have an active consumer checking account and active debit card, with a minimum of one debit card transaction in the current month to qualify for the special rate premium that month. Qualification is determined monthly, prior to the calculation and payment of periodic dividends. Any month during which the eligible certificate does not meet the qualifications, the certificate dividend calculation and posted dividend at the end of the month will not include this special rate premium and will revert to the standard dividend rate. The Loyalty Pays Premium Certificate Rate program and special premium rates can be changed at any time. The minimum balances listed are required to open and obtain dividends. Early withdrawal will result in a loss of earnings penalty. Each member is federally insured to at least $250,000 by the NCUA, a U.S. Government Agency.
