Regular Savings Account
This is the basic savings account required for membership in Mead Employees Credit Union. Your initial $5 deposit in this account represents your share in the Credit Union and is held on deposit as long as you are a member.
Quarterly Statements
You will receive a quarterly statement documenting the activity on your account. If you have any electronic debits or credits on your account you will receive a monthly statement.
How savings dividends are paid
To earn dividends, there is a minimum daily balance of $250.00 on regular savings accounts. Dividends are calculated using the Daily Balance Method, compounded quarterly and credited to the account as of the last day of March, June, September and December.
If you withdraw funds during the quarter, dividends on those funds will be credited at the end of the quarter, provided the minimum balance requirement is met. If you close your savings account before the end of the quarter, you will not earn dividends.
Withdrawals
8 FREE Withdrawals per month. Each savings account may have 8 FREE withdrawals per month. There will be a $3.00 fee for each additional withdrawal in a month. Fees will be charged at the end of the month of the withdrawal and will appear on your statement.
