- According to a representative at the AEA Credit Union, interest is
- calculated quarterly on the average daily balance for that quarter.
- You lose the benefit of daily compounding, but you do not lose the
- entire quarter's interest if you withdraw anything.
-
- On the other hand, you do lose all the interest for the quarter if you
- close the account, but the minimum deposit is only $25, which is
- relatively painless to keep in the account until the quarter's end.
