Section I. Payment of Dividends
- Dividends and Rate: First Tech pays dividends on funds in all accounts listed in our Rate Sheet from the date of deposit to the date of withdrawal or maturity. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period. Dividend rates and Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) are determined by the First Tech Board of Directors and can change daily after account opening. For additional details, refer to the Rate Sheet on our website.
- Minimum Balance Requirements: We list the minimum balance required to open an account on our Rate Sheet.
- Compounding and Crediting: For all dividend bearing accounts, dividends are compounded daily and credited monthly. Each month is a dividend period. For example, the first dividend period of the year begins January 1 and ends January 31. If you close any dividend earning accounts before dividends are credited, you will not receive the accrued dividends.
- Fees and Charges: Fees imposed on your accounts are disclosed on the Fee Schedule which has been provided to you separately.
- Balance Computation Method: Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate (the annual rate divided by the number of days in the year) to the balance in the account each day.
- Accrual of Dividends: Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit cash and non-cash items (e.g., checks) to your account if deposited before the close of business.
- Share Requirement: You must complete payment of one share in your Membership Share Savings Account, in accordance with the Membership and Account Agreement, as a condition of your membership.
