Here’s the difference between a bank’s interest-bearingr checking account and ours: Ours has a $300 miiumuixi balance. Theirs requires more (in some cases, much more). MoneyStore was the first interest-bearing checking account in the Brazos Valley. And it’s still the best. Look at these features: • $300 Minimum Balance (not $500, $600, $700, $1,000 or $1,200). You pay no service charges at Brazos Savings if you maintain only a $300 minimum balance. • Maximum Interest—Regardless of Balance. MoneyStore pays you 5 1 /4% interest, compounded continuously, on your balance (an effective annual yield of 5.47%). Even if your balance drops below $300, you earn maximum interest on your funds. • Telephone Bill Paying at No Extra Cost. With your authorization, MoneyStore will pay some of your bills direct. Just call us, tell us who to pay, how much and when. Keep your funds earning interest until you need to pay your bills. (On telephone bill paying, we pay the postage. If we miss a due date through our error, we pay the late fee.) • Overdraft Protection. Brazos Savings has automatic overdraft pro tection for qualifying MoneyStore customers. And it costs you nothing — until you use it. It’s easy to open a MoneyStore checking account. And we’ll pay you to use it.
