THE BELOW APPLIES TO SHARE, WHIZ KID, CLUB, HIGH-YIELD, IRA SHARE, AND COVERDELL ESA ACCOUNTS:
Rate Information. For dividend bearing accounts, the dividend rate and APY may change every dividend period based on the determination of the Credit Union Board of Directors. Savings Accounts are subject to a Tiered Rate. Your account will earn dividends according to the daily balance in your account related to the table above.
Minimum Balance Requirements. To open any account, you must deposit or already have on deposit at least the par value of one full share in any account. The par value amount is $25.00. The minimum balance requirements applicable to each account are stated above. If the minimum daily balance is not met each day of the dividend period, you will not earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield.
Nature of Dividends. Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of a dividend period.
Compounding and Crediting. The dividend period is monthly from the 1st day of each month to the last day of each month and dividends will be calculated on your average daily balance for each day on which your balance equals or exceeds the required minimum balance. Dividends will be compounded and credited to your account.
Balance Computation Method. For dividend-bearing Accounts, dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in Your Account each day.
Accrual of Dividends. Dividends will begin to accrue on cash deposits on the business day you make the deposit to your account. Dividends will begin to accrue on noncash deposits (e.g. checks) on the business day you make the deposit to your account. If you close your account before accrued dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid.
Fees and Charges. Any fees and charges applicable to Your Account are disclosed separately in the “Fee Schedule”.
Fees and/or withdrawals may reduce earnings.

I have been a member at Saco Valley for over 40 years.. The staff is exceptional at taking care of their members. Everyone there knows who I am and greets me with a smile and goes out of their way to always ask me how things are going. Most of them have been there for years, so the turnover is very small. I would never consider banking anywhere else.
