Early withdrawal penalties (a penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity) -
  • If your account has an original maturity of less than 12 months: The fee we may impose will equal one month's interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
  • If your account has an original maturity of 12 months or more: The fee we may impose will equal three month's interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.
In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. Other exceptions may also apply, for example, if this is part of an IRA or other tax-deferred plan. For any time deposit which earns an interest rate that may vary from time to time during the term, the interest rate we will use to calculate this early withdrawal penalty will be the interest rate in effect at the time of the withdrawal.
 
Automatically renewable time account - This account will automatically renew at maturity. You may prevent renewal if you withdraw the funds in the account at maturity (or within the grace period mentioned below, if any) or we receive written notice from you within the grace period mentioned below, if any. We can prevent renewal if we mail notice to you at least 30 calendar days before maturity. If either you or we prevent renewal, interest will not accrue after final maturity. Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date. The interest rate will be the same we offer on new time deposits on the maturity date which have the same term, minimum balance (if any) and other features as the original time deposit.
You will have ten calendar days after maturity to withdraw the finds without a penalty.
