Checking Sub-Account: 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 earns interest, your interest calculation will remain the same. If your checking account does not earn interest, no interest will be paid on either sub-account. 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.
Dormant Accounts: Accounts that undergo no activity (debit or credit) for an extended time period will be reclassified as a dormant account. Dormant accounts will be subject to a regular monthly service charge of $5 (non-refundable per State of Washington). The time periods of inactivity are as follows:
- 24 months—All checking, money market, interest checking, and savings accounts
- 30 months—Time certificates of deposit
- 60 months—Safe deposit boxes
Note: Under current state abandoned property law, any property unclaimed after three years (with the exception of safe deposit boxes) must be relinquished to the custody of the State of Washington.
