*We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies the daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for deposit of noncash items (for example, checks). Interest is compounded and credited on the last day of the statement cycle. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
