Bank Midwest Savings Accounts have limits for withdrawals per month.  Federal Law allows up to six (6) withdrawals per calendar month; however, Bank Midwest only allows three (3) withdrawals per month at no cost.

The 4th withdrawal and each thereafter will cost $1.00 each. If six (6) withdrawals are made in three (3) different calendar months Bank Midwest will change the savings account into a checking account. 

This will require the member to open a new savings account for monthly deposits to continue.  Savings deposits will be in a holding account until a new savings account is opened.  Deposits will not be made into a checking account.  Members can open a new savings account at any Bank Midwest location or at the Pipefitters LU 533 Business Office.
