Prepaid interest can vary depending upon date of loan closing.

**ARMs have a 5% or 6% lifetime cap. The estimated APR is based on an index (the one-year T-Bill + a margin), which is subject to change. The index used is one that was published recently. The APR and the payments are subject to change on an annual basis after the initial fixed-rate term. The initial interest rate will be in effect for the fixed term of the loan and is not based on the formula set forth in the loan contract. On the first change date the rate cannot increase or decrease more than 2% for one-year ARMs, 3/1 ARMs, and 5/1 ARMs, and 5% or 6% for 7/1 ARMs and 10/1 ARMs.

VARIABLE RATES: The rate may change after the account is opened.

*INTEREST RATES AND ANNUAL PERCENTAGE YIELDS DISCLOSED ARE EFFECTIVE AS OF THIS DATE
**Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) are based on Monthly compounding. The interest rate and APY earned are calculated on your entire ending account balance each day. If this ending balance moves into a higher or lower tier, then the applicable interest rate and APY will calculate on that entire ending balance and will not be retroactive.
***Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) are based on Quarterly compounding for Regular Savings. Certificates also compound quarterly and the APY assumes that interest remains on deposit and any withdrawals will reduce earnings. We may impose a penalty if you withdraw any of the principal before the maturity date.
Please telephone 800-422-3372 for current terms and conditions on any First Federal account.
