Disclosures for New Account Inquiries
The information is a part of our Deposit Account Agreement.
However, these disclosures are not our complete deposit
contract. If you open an account, or upon request, we will
provide our Deposit Account Agreement, which contains the
complete deposit contract.
Interest on Checking and Savings Accounts: When you
open a checking or savings account that pays interest, we will
provide you a rate sheet stating the current interest rate and
Annual Percentage Yield for your account. The rate sheet is
considered a part of this agreement.
Your account has a variable interest rate. That means we may
change the interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield as
often as we choose, without limits and without notice. Interest
begins to accrue on the business day we receive credit for your
deposit. For cash, wire transfers and electronic direct deposits,
interest begins to accrue on the business day of your deposit.
We use the daily balance method for calculating interest.
This method applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in
your account each day, which may be based on your present
balance or collected balance as explained in the product
information for your account. The collected balance is the
balance of all deposits in your account on which we have
received credit for the deposited funds (determined by the
availability schedule of our Federal Reserve Bank for checks
and similar items). We reserve the right not to pay interest on
any deposited item that is returned to us unpaid.
Interest is credited and compounded monthly. However,
Retirement Money Market accounts with interest distributions
will not compound, and interest will be credited on the
distribution date. Unless otherwise stated in your product
disclosure, interest is computed on a 365-day basis. We pay
interest only in whole cents. Therefore, at the end of each
interest payment period (usually monthly), any fractional
amount of interest less than half of one cent will be rounded
down and any fractional amount of interest equal to half of
one cent or more will be rounded up to the next whole cent.
Savings Account Withdrawals: In this agreement, a
savings account means an account, including a money
market account (and excluding NOW accounts), for which we
reserve the right to require seven days’ prior written notice
to withdrawal. See the section Our right to require advance
notice of withdrawals. During any monthly statement period,
you may make transfers and withdrawals, regardless of the
number of transfers and withdrawals or the way in which
transfers and withdrawals are made. If you make more than
six withdrawals or transfers per monthly statement period, you
will incur a fee, see the Savings Withdrawal Limit Fee section.
CDs: A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a deposit account with
us for a specified period of time. This disclosure covers both
retirement and non-retirement CD products. By opening your
CD, you agree to keep the amount deposited (principal) on
deposit. Here are a few things you should know about CDs:
•
Term: The term is the number of days, months or years you
agree to leave your money in the account.
•
Maturity date and grace period: The maturity date is the
last day of your CD’s term. The grace period is the 10 days
after the maturity date for CDs with a term of 14 days or
longer. On the maturity date or during the grace period you
can change the term of your CD, make additional deposits
(for non-retirement CDs only), or withdraw your CD principal
without paying an early withdrawal penalty.
•
CD ladders: Chase may offer a CD ladder, which is a group
of four CDs opened at the same time for the same amount
but with different terms. When each CD matures, its term will
change to the longest term of the original group. For example,
in a 12-month ladder, we will open four CDs with original
terms of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. When each CD matures, its
new term will be 12 months. The result will be four 12-month
CDs with a CD maturing every three months.
•
Automatically renewable CD: An automatically renewable
CD will renew on the maturity date for the same term
unless 1) you have a different renewal term as part of a CD
ladder; 2) you change or close the account or 3) we notify
you otherwise. Once your CD renews, any reference to the
maturity date means the last day of the new term. For the
renewal term, your CD will earn interest for the term and
amount at the CD standard rate unless you qualify for the CD
relationship rate. If your CD is closed during the grace period,
it will not earn interest on or after the maturity date.
•
Single maturity CD: A single maturity CD will not
automatically renew on the maturity date and won’t earn or be
paid interest on or after that date.
•
Interest: We use the daily balance method to calculate
interest on your CD. This method applies a periodic rate
each day to your balance. Interest begins to accrue on the
business day of your deposit. Interest for CDs is calculated on
a 365-day basis, although some business CDs may calculate
interest on a 360-day basis. The Annual Percentage Yield
(APY) disclosed on your deposit receipt or on the maturity
notice assumes interest will remain on deposit until maturity.
On maturities of more than one year, interest will be paid at
least annually. You may withdraw any paid or credited interest
without penalty during your CD’s term or at maturity. On the
maturity date, interest will become principal of the renewed
CD. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.
•
Early withdrawal penalties: There is a penalty for
withdrawing principal prior to the maturity date. Refer to
the CD section in the Product Information.
Waiving early withdrawal penalties for Personal CDs:
We will waive early withdrawal penalties under the
circumstances described below, unless these withdrawals
occur less than seven days after the account was opened or a
previous withdrawal was made.
For non-retirement CDs:
•
Death of a CD owner or a grantor of a revocable
family/living trust;
•
Disability of a CD owner;
•
A court’s determination that a CD owner is
incompetent; and
•
Re-titling of a CD to transfer ownership of funds into
a living trust without moving funds from the bank and
where no change in term or rate occurs.
