Any interest earned is added to your account automatically each month. You must maintain a balance of at least $0.01 in the account to earn interest. Calhoun Banks reserves the right to require at least 7 days written notice from the customer prior to any withdrawal.

Money Market Account
An Interest Earning Account
A Money Market account is more like a savings account than a checking account. Sometimes they are even called Money Market Savings Accounts. Money market accounts allow you to save money, typically at a higher interest rate, but still allow you make six (6) transfers from your account each four (4) week or similar period, if by pre-authorized or automatic transfer or telephone agreement or by check, draft, debit card, or point of sale transaction (basically anything other than walking in the bank, mailing your request or using an ATM).
Money market accounts require a minimum opening deposit of $10,000 and require your daily minimum balance to be at least $10,000 to receive the annual percentage yield.
