The potential for fraud exists with virtually every transaction. Here are some tips on how to be alert and minimize your risk.
1Qualifying personal accounts for the combined average daily balance include checking, savings, CD, IRA, home loans, personal loans, and Ready Cash lines of credit where you are an owner/co-owner or borrower/co-borrower. The combined balance requirement is based on the average daily balance for the month in the qualifying accounts at the time the Premium Interest Checking account’s statement is produced.
2Interest begins to accrue on the first business day that funds are available in the account for noncash items such as checks.
3We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. The method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
