Dividends are calculated using the Daily Balance method and are paid monthly. Lōkahi FCU membership is required to open and maintain these accounts. An account closing fee will apply to any account closed within ninety (90) days of opening. Please refer to our Membership Agreement and Fee Schedule for complete details. Terms, conditions, and rates are subject to change after the account is opened. Some restrictions may apply.

In order to receive the higher dividend rate, all monthly qualification requirements must be met. If the qualification requirements are not met for a given month, the account will earn dividends at the non-qualified rate and corresponding APY for that dividend period. You will not earn any dividend if your account is not in good standing.

If the account is closed before dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid. Fees may reduce earnings on the account.
