NOTICE TO OUR
DEPOSITORS
We have been advised by the Federal Reserve Board and the Deposit Insurance
Corporation that after February 1, 1935 that no bank that has membership in the
Federal Reserve Bank system and whose deposits are insured in the Federal De
posit Insurance Corporation, will be allowed to pay more than two and one-half
per cent interest on Savings, or Time Certificates. This reduces the present rate
one-half of one per cent.
The banks below, comprising the banks of Cleveland County, will be compell
ed to obey these orders if we retain our respective memberships in either of these
organizations. As we believe this is in line with the policy of the administration, we
will cooperate, of course, and trust that our Savings Depositors and Time Certifi
cates holders will cooperate with us and take the small cut in rate in good spirit
and with good grace, realizing that it is not a plan gotten up by the local banks, but
that the orders to reduce the rate of interest paid affects over Thirteen Thousand
Banks in the country. A great many banks in the larger towns in the State have
already reduced interest rates to only two per cent, but the banks of Cleveland
County will pay 2 J per cent, the largest amount allowed under this order.
Your Time Certificates of Deposit in any of these banks will continue to draw
interest at Three per cent until February 1st, changing automatically on that date.
As you bring your Certificates in for renewal they will be changed to the new
rate, and whether you bring them in or not, the interest can only be computed
at 2A per cent on and after February 1,1935.
The new rate on Savings Account will become effective oh January the first, as
the interest is computed and credited to January 1st and July 1st, each year, and
as January 1st will be a new interest period it is more convenient, suitable and
sensible to start the new rate on the semi-annual interest period.
We regret this ruling was made now, but do not question the action of the
authorities. This rate is higher than Postal Savings, and since the Government
Agency, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, insures each deposit up to
the amount of $5,000.00, the banks certainly have the advantage over the Postal
Savings System. Don’t be misled by high interest rates, where deposits are not in
sured. The public has long wanted insurance and deposit guarantee, and now that
we have it, do not forget the peace and confidence which such insurance provides.
AFTER JANUARY 1ST THE TAX OF TWO CENTS ON EACH CHECK
WILL BE TAKEN OFF BY ACT OF CONGRESS.
