BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT DEFINITIONS •Minimum deposit to open account: $100.00
•AVERAGE BALANCE: the average daily balance of your account • FLOAT: when “foreign checks” (checks not drawn on our bank) are deposited, time is needed to collect these checks before the money is available for withdrawal. The average time needed for collection is presently one (1) day after the date of deposit.
• AVERAGE FLOAT: The daily average of deposits in the process of collection.
• RESERVE: All banks are required to maintain non-interest bearing reserves against their demand deposits (customer checking accounts). • CREDIT: An earnings credit is used to offset the basic service charge. The rate (presently 1.00% per annum) is calculated on the average available balance. The rate is subject to change. If a customer has a negative available balance, they will be charged the earnings credit rate plus 3% for the days when the available balance is negative. • BASIC SERVICE CHARGE: This is the charge assessed for handling your account if your credit is not sufficient to pay the entire service charge assessed.
Items used to compute the Total Monthly Charges Checks deposited not drawn on us $0.08 each Checks written on the account $0.10 each Monthly account maintenance fee $5.00 per month Interest is not paid on the Business Checking Account The Monthly Service Charge is calculated by comparing the total monthly Credit against the total monthly Charges. The difference may or may not result in a charge to the customer. If the total Credit exceeds the total Charges, then no service fee is assessed for the month. Conversely, if the total Charges are greater than the total Credit, then the monthly service charge equals the difference between the two figures. (Please refer to the following examples for a further illustration of our service charge calculation).
ABILITY TO WITHDRAW FUNDS
The following disclosure is provided pursuant to the Expedited Funds Availability Act and Regulation CC.
Our policy is to make funds from your deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written.
For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit before 4:00 P.M. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 4:00 P.M. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
If you make a deposit at an ATM before 6:00 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit at an ATM after 6:00 p.m. or on a day we are not open, we will consider that deposit was made on the next business day we are open.
Longer Delays May Apply
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $200 of your deposits will be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
- We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
- You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day. - You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
- You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months. - There is an emergency, such as failure of communications or computer equipment. We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
Special Rules For New Accounts
If you are a new Customer, the following special rules will apply during the first thirty (30) days your account is open.
1) Funds from electronic direct deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit.
2) Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day’s total deposits of cashier’s, certified, teller’s, traveler’s, and federal,
state and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,000 will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
3) Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the seventh business day after the day of your deposit.
Deposits At Automated Teller Machines
Funds from any deposits (cash or checks) made at any automated teller machines (ATMs) we do not own or operate may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. This rule does not apply at ATMs that we own and operate. Please see a Customer Service Representative for a complete listing of our ATMs.

Example #1:
This is an illustration of a typical Business Checking Account where the monthly credit is greater than the total charges to the account. No service charge would be assessed.
Average Balance $50,000
Less: Average Float ($3,000)
Equals: Average Collected Balance $47,000
Less: Reserve (10%) ($4,700)
Equals: Average Available Balance $42,300
TOTAL CREDIT = Average Available Balance ($42,300) calculated by the credit percentage (presently 1.00%) = $35.25
Charges Items Cost Total
Foreign checks deposited 300 $0.08 ea. $24
Plus: Checks on us 60 $0.10 ea. $6
Plus: Monthly Account
Maintenance Fee $5.00 $5

Average Balance $10,000
Less: Average Float ($3,000)
Equals: Average Collected Balance $7,000
Less: Reserve (10%) ($700)
Equals: Average Available Balance $6,300
TOTAL CREDIT = Average Available Balance ($6,300) calculated by the credit percentage (presently 1.00%) = $5.25
Charges Items Cost Total
Foreign checks deposited 100 $0.08 ea. $8
Plus: Checks on us 30 $0.10 ea. $3
Plus: Monthly Account
Maintenance Fee $5.00 $5
