RATE AND
FEE INFORMATION
The following factors may affect the amount of dividends and
the annual percentage yield you receive on your credit union
account.
NATURE OF DIVIDENDS
All accounts with the exception of our basic share draft accounts
and term accounts (share certificates), are considered variable
rate accounts. The dividend rate and annual percentage yield
applicable to an account may therefore change as often as each
dividend period listed for the various credit union accounts
as determined by the Board of Directors of Cornerstone Community
FCU.
Dividends are paid from current income and accumulated earnings,
after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend
period.

after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend
period.
DIVIDEND RATE AND ANNUAL PERCENTAGE YIELD
As used in this disclosure, "dividend rate" means
the dividends paid (or expected to be paid) on an account, without
giving effect to the compounding of previously earned dividends,
shown as an annual figure and expressed as a percentage of the
account balance; and "annual percentage yield" or
"APY" means a percentage rate reflecting the total
amount of dividends expected to be earned in a year on an account,
based on the dividend rate and the frequency of compounding
accrued dividends.
All disclosures concerning the APY applicable to an account
(other than term accounts) assume that the dividend rate disclosed
remains in effect for one year and that dividends are not withdrawn.
COMPOUNDING AND CREDITING
Dividends for all accounts, except term accounts, are compounded
and credited for the dividend period as follows:
|

The dividend period begins on the first calendar day of the
period and ends on the last calendar day of the period.
MINIMUM BALANCE REQUIREMENTS
In order to join the credit union and use the many services
available, you must deposit at least $5.00, the par value of
a share, into the regular share account. This $5.00 must remain
in the account at all times.
Dividends for variable rate accounts are calculated using the
average daily balance method that applies a periodic rate to
the average daily balance in the account for the period. The
average daily balance is calculated by adding the beginning
daily balance in the account for each day of the period and
dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
The minimum balances required to open an account and receive
dividends are as follows:
|
Minimum Balance to

In order to earn the annual percentage yield disclosed on the
rate table for a particular account, you must maintain an average
daily balance as stated above during the entire dividend period.
If your average daily balance falls below the stated amount
above, you will not earn any dividends during that dividend
period.
ACCRUAL OF DIVIDENDS
Dividends will begin to accrue on both cash and noncash (checks)
deposits the morning following the business day the funds were
deposited to your account. The average daily balance method
uses the beginning balance of each day for its dividend calculation.
CLOSING AN ACCOUNT
For any account, except term accounts, if you close your account
before accrued dividends are credited, you will not be paid
any dividends for the dividend period.
If you prematurely close your Individual Retirement Account
(IRA), you will be charged a $20.00 closing fee.
TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS
The credit union limits cash withdrawals to $3,000 per member
per day. Exceptions may be made pending availability of cash
on hand and management's approval.
If a member withdraws funds from their Christmas Club prior
to the yearly payout, there is a $5.00 fee per withdrawal.
Should the credit union Board of Directors and management
feel it is necessary, and as stated in the credit union bylaws,
the credit union reserves the right to require a member intending
to make a withdrawal from any account (except a share draft
account) to give written notice of such intent not less than
seven days and up to 60 days before the withdrawal.
There is no limit to the number of transactions that a member
may do each month to their account(s) at this time. However,
if withdrawing funds from either an automated teller machine
(ATM), a point of banking terminal (POB) or a point of sale
terminal (POS) the following applies:
You may make a total of 6 ATM or POB withdrawals per your
entire credit union account. After six, there is a $1.00 per
transaction fee. For specifics, see fee schedule.
