We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.
Amount of Penalty
For all accounts the amount of early withdrawal penalty is based on the term of your account. The penalty is as follows: Greater of $25 or loss of dividends, whether earned or not, on amounts withdrawn equal to dividends that would have accrued over 50% of remaining term.
How the Penalty Works
The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividend has already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.
Exceptions to Early Withdrawal Penalty
At our option, we may pay the account before maturity without imposing an early withdrawal penalty under the following circumstances:
- When an account owner dies or is determined legally incompetent by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction
- Where the account is an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and any portion is paid within seven (7) calendar days after establishment; or where the account is an IRA or Keogh and the owner attains age 59 1/2 or becomes disabled.
