FMB delivers its 2010 Christmas Club Checks

Published 8:00 am Wednesday, November 17, 2010

It’s that time of year again and Farmers & Merchants Bank kicked off the Pre-Holiday season by delivering Christmas Club checks to Eatonton Co-op and Putnam General Hospital for their participating employees.  “Our Christmas Club program is a wonderful way for our customers to save money for the Holiday season,” expresses Kim Ruff, Human Resources Manager and Banking Officer for the Farmers and Merchants Bank.  She continues “You would be surprised at how fast your money will add up just by saving a little bit at a time.”

The Farmers and Merchants Bank’s Christmas Club is unique in that it is an interest bearing account.  Interest for the account begins to accrue on the first business day of the initial deposit if received before 5:00 p.m.  Interest will be accrued on a daily basis and will be credited and paid to the account at maturity date.  The maturity date for all FMB Christmas Club accounts is the last Friday in October of each calendar year.  A check for the total amount, including accrued interest, will be mailed to the account holder on the first Friday in November.  The only fee associated with FMB’s Christmas Club account is if any of the principal is withdrawn from the account prior to the maturity date.

It is never too early to begin saving for Christmas 2011, so stop by the Bank and sign up today! For more information on the Farmers & Merchants Bank’s Christmas Club, please call (706) 485-9941 or visit www.ibankfmb.com.
