Let us dive into what exactly the 赞助股息* is and how you can calculate your payouts.


的 赞助股息* Explained.


的 赞助股息* is simply the sum of your account's average daily balances of all shares and 贷款 (Signature, 车辆, and mortgage) for the calendar year. 的 neat thing is that you can keep track of your dividend payout by utilizing the convenient 赞助股息* Payout Calculator.

的 calculator is a very resourceful tool to take advantage of for multiple reasons:

• It helps you stay on track with your loan and deposit balances
• It helps you determine what 会员计划 you have (Basic, Plus, 铂, or Diamond Elite)
•它计算你的 估计 赞助股息* payout for you!

Here is an example scenario of a calculation input:


Based on the information generated by the calculator, we can determine that this member's membership level is Diamond Elite and that their 估计 赞助股息* payout is:

$1,506.74 + $6.94 = $1,513.68

Think of all you can do with that additional money… recover from holiday spending, save it for your upcoming vacation, give a mortgage payment, 等.!


How is the 赞助股息* Paid Out?


Each year, the 董事会 reviews the distribution of the 赞助股息*. 如获批准,则:

• 的 赞助股息* becomes reportable on IRS Form 1099-INT and 1099-MISC tax filing documents
• All share dividends earned from share account and loan balances are reported on IRS Form 1099-INT

然后, VUALAH! Your 赞助股息* will then be electronically deposited into your 储蓄 account! That earned dividend is now available for you to use as you wish. 就是这么简单.

As 进化FCU prepares for a successful calendar year and the return of the 赞助股息, we encourage you to do the same! Begin by understanding what your Membership status is and what benefits are available to you.
