Welcome to First Bank! This disclosure offers an overview of our checking, savings, money market accounts, and time deposits. The overview includes balance information and interest rate information.
The following disclosures are applicable:
Non-cash Deposits: When you deposit a non-cash item (i.e. check), interest, if applicable, begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit.
Balance Computation Method: We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest, if applicable, on your account. This method applies the daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.
Average Collected Balance: The average collected balance, when applicable, is calculated by adding the collected balance in the account for each day of the statement period and dividing the figure by the number of days in the statement period.
Account Closing: If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
Fees: See the Personal Accounts Fee Schedule for a listing of fees that may be assessed.
