All consumer checking accounts consist of a checking sub account and a savings sub account. The Bank may periodically transfer funds between these two sub accounts. If your Account is a Plan on which interest is paid, your interest calculation will remain the same. Otherwise, the savings sub account will be non interest bearing. The savings sub account will be governed by the rules governing our other savings accounts. This process will not affect your available balance, the interest you may earn, FDIC insurance protection, or your monthly statement.
