The Gold Plus Account:

The Gold Plus account is a premium cash management account available to Gold checking customers only. The account offers high yields and quick and convenient access to your money, and compares favorably with nationwide money market mutual fund accounts. Unlike those accounts, your Gold Plus balance is protected by the FDIC.

Deposits to the Gold Plus account must be made as transfers from the Gold Account. To earn the premium Gold Plus rate, maintain a minimum balance of $10,000 in the account; otherwise, the Gold account rate will be paid. The rate may change on your account after it is opened. Fees could reduce earnings. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. Transfers from the Gold Plus are limited to one per week, and may be made by calling a Customer Service Representative or via AccessUnited's online banking service.

Money Market Checking:

This classic money market account offers premium interest for those requiring fewer transactions. Maintain $2,500 through out the month and incur no service charges. A minimum balance fee of $7.50 will be imposed any month the balance falls below $2,500. The rate may change on your account after it is opened, and fees can reduce earnings.

During each monthly statement period, you may make six (6) withdrawals from your account, but only three (3) may be payments by check to third parties.  A $10.00 fee is imposed for each withdrawal in excess of the legal limit.

United Bank offers the old fashioned Christmas Club Savings Account for customers who like to save throughout the year for the gift-giving season.  Open the account any day of the year and one can start saving.  Customers who open a Christmas Club account receive a special book of deposit slips to use when making a deposit.  Auto transfers are available from an existing United Bank account to make saving effortless.

 Accounts are closed and checks are mailed mid-November.  If you close the account prior to the scheduled closing, there will be a $5.00 fee collected from the balance in the account.  No partial withdrawals are allowed during the year.

 To obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield, customers must maintain a balance of at least $10.00.
