Terry Vice President and Cashier 4 F �,,�,ichita National bank of I— --a V a3 Ls V,14 -1,�ita Texas �L,�I I Dear 14r� Terry: This is in furtherance of our 'Gel.ephone conversation of toCIa.,Y concernin-_1 the us, of ,iT 1 1 -me deposit., open account is very _e o-Tosit,s, open account. In effect, a ti L - similar to a time certificate of dey3osit,, the princilpal difference being that the time d bir a written deposit,, open account stipul-ates no certain dollar amount and is supporte, irt of si-ich depo'sit, may be (=tract with the depositor that neither the whole nor any p, withdrawn, by check or otherwise, prior to the date of maturity, which shall be not less than 30 d.ays after the date of the deposit, or prior to the expiration of the I period of notice which Tnu7-t "be � * ,rpn by t.he depositor in writing not less than '�O d,-Z7,7, in advance _771 of withdrawal. It has been our experience that most banks uce tine deoosits, open account as a ith -municipalities and others where numerous deposits f wi r matter o- convenience in dealin� the need for withdrawal of funds are anticipated and where it is possible to ascertain r _mt is advanta- at les-st 30 days in advance of such action. The time denosit, open acco, IcIleous in that under certain circumstances the depositor can determine in advarce the amount to be withdrawn and. can make partial withdrawals with nroper notice, leaxrin,� the balance of the funds on deposit in an interest-bearing status. In cases where no 4 definite maturity �.3 established, the interest rate permissible is 1-1171ited by the, -period of notice of withdrawal which is required iin the contract. As stated befDre., the period of notice must be at least 30 days. If the period of notice required is six months or gh as 1"0 per annum, compounded quarterly. If the more, the interest rate may be as hi, s after the date of period of notice is less thansix months and not less than 90 day If the deposit, the interest rate may be as hi,1-h as 21% per annuT�1.,compounded q,u,-,.rterly. period is less than 90 Jays,, 'the maximum interest rate is 1,�c per annum) compounded I quarterly. You have asked if the deposit covered by a con-tract runs beyond the time ii contract rate. !m-it specified in the contract, can interest continue to be paid at the f maturity such deposit if the contract specifies a definite maturity, after the date o is a demand deposit and no interest may be paid on such deposit for any neriod subsequent to such date. In instances where no definite maturity is set out in the contract and maturity is based upon notice of withdrawal., after the expiration of the period of such notice the deposit is a demand deposit and no interest may be paid for any period subse- quent to the expiration of such notice, except that if' the owner of such deposit ad,,rises the baLnk in writing that the deposit will not be withdrav7i pursuant to such notice or that the deposit will thereafter a,;:,a-i.n be subject to the requirements applicable to such deposit., the deposit will again constitute a time deposit after the date upon which such advice is received by the bank. In general, the Board of Governors has ruled that the maximum rate which -nay 0 be paid on a time deposit is not determined by the length of time the dep sit is actually left at the bank but, is determined by the length of time from the date of deposit to the earliest date upon which it may be withdrawn under the terms of the instru- ment or contract. We are enclosing a copy of a contract used by one of our member banks in, connection with the deposit of county funds. ��-Je offer this only as an example of such a contract and feel sure that you and your attorneys will desire to make suitable alterations to meet your needs. If we can be of any further assistance to you, please call upon us. Yours very truly Is/ Moss E. Hulsey, Jr. Chief Fx�iner
