DIVIDEND INFORMATION:
Balance computation method — Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. Accrual of dividends on non-cash deposits — Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (e.g. checks) to your account. Nature of dividends — Dividends are paid from current income and available earnings, after required transfers to reserves at the end of the dividend period. Compounding and frequency - Dividends will be compounded monthly and credited to your account on every monthly statement or at the end of the calendar quarter. Effects of account closing — If you close your account before dividends are paid, you will receive the accrued dividends. These are prospective dividend rates and anticipated Annual Percentage Yields (APY) for the current dividend period and may change at any time without limitations as determined by the TruStone Board of Directors. To confirm the current rates, call 763.591.4949 or 800.343.8328

1 For one-time debit card transactions, you must have previously opted-in for Overdraft Privilege or the transaction will be declined. Payment by the credit union is a discretionary courtesy and not a right of the member or an obligation of the credit union. This privilege for consumer share draft accounts will be limited to a maximum amount of $800 overdraft (negative) balance. Transaction types that are eligible for Overdraft Privilege include, and are limited to: ACH transactions, debit card transactions, drafts and On-Us checks at the teller counter. You must bring your account balance positive within every 30-day period for a minimum period of 24 hours. The credit union, at its discretion, can cancel this protection and cease paying overdrafts at any time without prior notice of reason or cause.

2For these account types, the dividend period is monthly; for example, the first dividend period of the calendar year is January 1 through January 31. All other dividend periods follow this same pattern of dates. The dividend declaration date is the ending date of a dividend period: for example, January 31.
