UNCLAIMED PROPERTY - DORMANT

Remember to keep your account active!

The State of Illinois law governing unclaimed property states the presumptive period of abandonment for deposit accounts is 3 years.

As a result, accounts without any owner activity for a 3-year period will be turned over to the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office.

 We value our members and ask that you remember to keep your account active!

  

 

 CHRISTMAS CLUBS

Christmas Club accounts will be rolled into your savings account on November 1st. Once these funds are in your shares you can withdraw or move to your debit account using online banking or by calling the office. At this time, you may begin depositing into your Christmas club account for next year. The interest rate will be 1%.

The last date to open a new Christmas Club will be January 31, 2024.
