Interest on Deposits
Interest Rates
Interest rates paid on our accounts are determined by the Bank, based on market conditions and other business factors. Except for fixed rate certificate of deposit accounts, the interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield on deposits can change as often as daily, at our discretion, without prior notice to you.
For current rates, you may call or visit one of our branches or contact us at the number on the last page of this booklet.
On tiered-rate accounts, we apply the interest rate for the balance tier of your end-of-day balance against the entire balance of your account. Different rates may apply to different tiers.
Interest Calculations
The interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield will be determined each day for the entire balance based on the tier associated with the ending balance.
Interest is computed on the account using the daily balance method. We apply a daily periodic rate to the principal balance in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue on non-cash items (such as checks) deposited to the account no later than the business day we receive provisional credit.
Interest Payments
Money Market accounts and interest bearing checking accounts:
Interest is compounded monthly and credited to the account on a monthly basis on the last day of the statement period. If you close the account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
Statement Savings accounts:
Interest is compounded daily and credited to the account on the last day of the quarter. If you close the account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
MySave and Internet-Only Savings accounts:
Interest is compounded quarterly and credited to the account on the last day of the quarter. If you close the account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.

2Combined Balance Option: The Combined Balance Option allows you to combine certain balances to avoid paying monthly service charges on your eligible checking account.

The Option is activated on any day the checking account balance falls below the minimum amount required to avoid the monthly service charge. When that happens, the balance of the checking account will be combined with the lowest month-to-date minimum balance(s) in the combined account(s) to determine if you meet the balance requirement. Not available on all accounts.

By opening a qualifying B-CharitableSM Checking Account ("Account"), at the end of each year Fremont Bank (the "Bank") will donate to your Partnered Nonprofit Organization an amount equal to:
· a percentage of your Year-to-Date Average Available Annual Balance as of December 31st; and
· a fixed amount per qualified posted Point of Sale ("POS") transaction on all signature-based (Credit) and pin-based (Debit) transactions using your Fremont Bank B-CharitableSM VISA® Debit Card.*
The nonprofit organization must be selected from the list of approved partnered nonprofit organizations provided by the Bank. The Bank retains the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which nonprofit organizations will be included on such list.
The Bank's donation to the partnered nonprofit organization is not tax-deductible to the B-Charitable Checking account holder and will not appear on any form 1099-INT.
The applicable percentage amount to be applied by the Bank to a qualified Account will be fixed for that fiscal year at the time the B-CharitableSM Checking Account is opened. The applicable percentage rate is subject to change as of January 1st each year.
Any change in the percentage rate of the donations to the nonprofit, payable by the Bank, will be stated in the B-CharitableSM Checking Account statement for that month which includes December 31st.
The donation amount will be determined at the Bank's sole discretion, provided however that the applicable percentage to be applied to your B-CharitableSM Checking Account and the rate for the qualified POS transactions will be fixed at the time your B-CharitableSM Checking Account is opened and will also be subject to change as of January 1st each year.
The Bank's donation will be distributed to the nonprofit organization's operating account at Fremont Bank based upon a percentage of the B-Charitable Account's Year-to-Date Average Available Annual Balance and a fixed rate on qualified posted POS transactions, based upon the 12-month period preceding December 31st of each year.
Both the nonprofit organization's operating account and the account holder's B-CharitableSM Checking Account must be open on December 31st, provided however, that in the event that the Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to terminate the B-CharitableSM program, the amount of the donation to be made to the chosen nonprofit organization shall be calculated based on the pro-rated Year-to-Date Average Available Annual Balance and current qualifying POS posted transactions in the B-CharitableSM Checking Account as of the date that the Bank terminates the B-CharitableSM program, which pro-ration shall be based on a 12-month period.
*A fixed amount per posted POS transaction, determined by the Bank in its sole discretion, will be donated on all signature-based (Credit) and pin-based (Debit) posted transactions ("Swipes") using the Fremont Bank B-CharitableSM VISA® Debit Card. Transactions at an ATM are not eligible. Swipes are calculated on an annual basis with a payout based on the calendar date of December 31st of each year. You must have completed at least 20 Swipes during the year of January 1st through December 31st to qualify.
If the Bank elects, in its sole discretion, to terminate the B-CharitableSM program then the POS transaction donations will be paid if a minimum $1.00 accrual has been achieved.

Interest earned is netted against monthly account service charges and remitted to the State Bar of California on a quarterly basis. We shall transmit to the State Bar of California with each remittance a statement showing the name of the attorney or law firm, the rate of interest applied and the amount of service charges deducted, if any. Establishing the trust fund program account constitutes consent by the attorney for the depository institution to furnish copies of the attorney's periodic statement to the State Bar of California.
We shall furnish a report of any incidences of items that are properly payable drawn against not sufficient funds to the State Bar of California, whether such items are paid or dishonored by Bank.
We may assess a fee for the production of such reports and records as required by the State Bar of California. Any such fees, or other business fees, shall be charged to any account in the name of the attorney and not to be charged to the IOLTA account.
Analyzed Accounts
We analyze only the accounts and services that are linked to our account analysis system (Note: not all accounts or charges may be analyzed). We do not calculate an earnings credit for accounts that are not linked to the service or allow earnings credit to offset charges against unanalyzed accounts.
The monthly service charge consists of an account maintenance fee to which we add additional activity charges and from which we subtract a monthly earnings credit. Activity fees and charges may be included in Analysis Activity Charges or, charged directly to the account, or collected at the time of service, at the Bank's option.
Deposit Assessment
A Deposit Assessment charge will be included in the analysis of your account. The assessment will be calculated on each $100 of your average ledger balance using a pre-determined rate that may change from time to time. The resulting sum is divided by 365 and then multiplied by the number of days in the analysis period. The resulting charge will be itemized on your analysis statement, along with your other fees and charges. The Assessment will be applied to all balances in your account.
Earnings Credit
The earnings credit, which may offset all or part of your monthly service charge, applies only to the service charges for the current month. Unlike interest, your earnings credit does not accumulate. At our discretion, we may change the earnings credit index or the percentage allocated at any time.
The earnings credit is calculated each month on your average positive available balance after float and reserve requirement deductions. To calculate your average positive available balance for each monthly statement period, we subtract the average float on your deposits from your average ledger balance and then subtract a ten percent (10%) reserve requirement. The resulting balance is referred to as the investable balance and is used to calculate your earnings credit by applying the earnings credit rate to the investable balance on a monthly basis.
If the average available balance on your account is negative at any time during the month, we calculate an interest charge based on the Prime Rate plus a predetermined percentage, per annum that is deducted from your earnings credit. This may result in a negative earnings credit. At our discretion, we may change the interest charge index, the percentage allocated or the minimum interest rate.
If your account is eligible to earn interest, the interest paid during each monthly statement is deducted from the monthly earnings credit applied to your account. This may result in a negative earnings credit.
If you deposit funds that belong to others ("beneficial owners") in an analyzed account, you represent to us that: (a) you are authorized by the beneficial owners to benefit from the use of any associated earnings credit, and (b) your use of the earnings credit will not violate any contract, law or regulation. You also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, costs (including attorney fees and other charges), liabilities and/or damages that arise from your use of the account analysis service or the manner in which you compensate or charge beneficial owners for your use of our services. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
If earnings credit is insufficient to cover service charges during any period, we may charge the difference to your account.
This account is designed for businesses with higher levels of account activity and/or large or frequent cash needs.
We may stop calculating earnings credit and applying it against service charges for any analyzed account that becomes inactive (i.e., has no deposits or withdrawals for 12 months).
Please be advised that other arrangements may be made between you and the Bank in accordance with supplemental account agreements provided at a later time.
Grouped Analysis
Analyzed Accounts may be grouped together in any combination of Analyzed Business, Analyzed Business Interest or Analyzed Zero Balance Account ("ZBA"). If you have several analyzed accounts, you can designate which account should be charged.
Money Market Checking and Money Market Savings accounts may be included in a Group upon request. Grouped Money Market accounts will assume all the features of an Analyzed account and are assessed Maintenance and Activity charges as described for Analysis. Interest earned will be deducted from the earnings credit of such Grouped Money Market accounts or Analysis Interest Accounts. Grouped accounts must have same ownership and Tax ID.
Each analysis account's net monthly service charge or earnings credit will be rolled up to the primary account to calculate a "Net" Group Analysis Charge. A monthly Grouped Analysis Statement will be provided in addition to each individual Analysis Statement.
If your account is eligible to earn interest and grouped with a business account of same ownership that earns interest, the interest paid during each monthly statement is deducted from the monthly earnings credit applied to your account. This may result in a negative earnings credit.
Account Closure
If you close your account with an amount owed due to activity or services provided, we may at our option, reopen the account to post service charges or mail an invoice for collection of service charges.
Business Analyzed Checking
Minimum Opening Deposit: $100
Monthly Maintenance $22.00

Business Analyzed Interest Checking
Minimum Opening Deposit: $100
Monthly Maintenance $22.00
plus all applicable activity charges.
(Less $6 with e-Statements*)
Interest earned is netted against the earnings credit, may cause negative earnings credit.
This is a variable interest rate account. The interest rate and Annual Percentage Yield are based on balance tiers as described on our current Rate Sheet.
Analyzed Zero Balance Account "ZBA"
Monthly Maintenance (Master Account) $30.00
Monthly Maintenance (ZBA) $26.00
plus all applicable activity charges.
(Less $6 with e-Statements*)
A ZBA Account maintains a zero balance at the end of each banking day. This account receives funds from another analysis account designated as the Master account. Each day the Master account transfers funds needed to cover withdrawals and charges presented against the ZBA account.
It is not recommended deposits be made to the ZBA as any funds in excess of those needed to cover daily debits will be swept to the Master account each business day and may create a negative collected balance in the ZBA account due to float, resulting in a negative available balance charge.
We generally use funds in the Master account first to cover transactions presented against the Master account before transferring any remaining available funds to the ZBA Account. If there are not enough funds available from the Master account to cover all items presented against the ZBA, we will transfer as much funds as are available. This may result in NSF activity and charges.
Note: Certain same-day credits, although fully collected, may not be available for transfer by means of this service. This includes Cash Vault deposits, funds scheduled to be swept to another account that night, funds from a line of credit tied to an account, and certain transactions that are not memo-posted that day.
We may refuse to transfer funds, as indicated above: (1) if the transfer would exceed the transaction limits of an account; (2) if the funds are subject to a hold, setoff, third-party claim, dispute, or legal process; (3) if there are insufficient funds available to make the transfer; or (4) as otherwise provided by your Account Agreement. Our transfer of funds between accounts shall not limit our right to charge back checks or other transactions which are reversed or returned to us for any reason.

Money Market and Savings Accounts
You may make deposits into the account at any time. You may make an unlimited number of withdrawals from the account in person, by mail, by non-bank messenger request, or at an ATM.
You are permitted to make no more than six (6) combined withdrawals and/or transfers per month or statement period by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer (e.g., automatic payments to an insurance company), drafts, telephone or online transfers, debit card, or check (for accounts with check privileges). Transfers to other Fremont Bank accounts are counted as part of the six transaction limit.
If you exceed these limitations, we may refuse to honor the excessive transactions, remove your transfer privileges, close the account without prior notice, or convert it to another type of account.
A $10.00 excessive transaction fee applies, per transaction, regardless of account balance.
Note: We count checks for purposes of the transaction limitation as of the date we post them to your account (not as of the date you write them). As such, a check you write during one month may not be counted until a subsequent monthly period.
***The average daily balance is calculated by addition of the principal in the account for each day of the monthly service statement period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
NOTE: If your account is a retirement plan account, further information about your account and about special retirement plan account fees that apply will be provided in the IRA Custodial Agreement, Application and Agreement to Participate, Retirement Plans Services and Fees Disclosure. Please read it carefully.
These accounts are not eligible for Overdraft Privilege Service.

It may take up to three (3) to five (5) business days to clear your transaction. We may limit or refuse any part of a deposit. If an item you deposit is returned to us unpaid or is otherwise charged back to us, we will charge it back to your account. Note: electronic transfer of funds is limited to U.S. Dollars from a domestic financial institution.
You can request a withdrawal by contacting a Fremont Bank associate at (866) 828-4769. For your security, we will verify that you are the owner of the account by asking for your Security Answer. We will initiate an ACH debit to be credited to the account used to fund your savings account. Please note that it may take up to five (5) business days for your transaction to clear.
ATM Card: This account automatically receives an ATM card in order to make deposits to and withdrawals from your account. By submitting your application to apply for an account, you are agreeing to receive this ATM card. Deposits can only be made at a Fremont Bank ATM. Withdrawals may be made at any national network ATM in which we participate (PLUS®, STARSM system, etc.). There is no fee from Fremont Bank for using another institution's ATM; but you may be charged a fee by the other institution.
Certificates of Deposits
Certificate of Deposit (CD) customers agree to keep funds on deposits for a fixed period of time. Partial withdrawals are not permitted. Any withdrawal which reduces the account balance below the minimum balance requirement for the rate being paid will be considered as a withdrawal of the entire account balance. If this occurs, an early withdrawal penalty may be assessed on the full principal balance of the account.
If we permit an early withdrawal of principal from a CD, we may impose an early withdrawal penalty. Tax penalties also apply to premature distributions from IRAs.
Early Withdrawals:
If we permit an early withdrawal of any amount of the principal before the maturity date; we may impose a penalty on the funds withdrawn in the amount equal to:
¨ For terms 30 days or less, penalty is 15 days' simple interest on the funds withdrawn at the rate in effect on the day of withdrawal;
¨ For terms 31 days through 12 months, penalty is 90 days' simple interest on the funds withdrawn at the rate in effect on the day of withdrawal;
¨ For terms 13 months through 24 months, penalty is 180 days' simple interest on the funds withdrawn at the rate in effect on the day of withdrawal;
¨ For terms greater than 24 months, penalty is 365 days' simple interest on the funds withdrawn at the rate in effect on the day of withdrawal.
These penalties will be charged on the amount withdrawn whether or not the interest has been earned and regardless of the length of time the funds withdrawn have remained in the account.
