18.0. "New RSVP savings accounts" by PBSVAX::HALBERT () Wed Mar 18 1987 12:55

    Check out the new RSVP savings accounts. These are $100 minimum, no
    maturity term, minimum $100 withdrawal, maximum of 3 withdrawals/month
    for free, $10 charge/withdrawal after that. Current rate is 6.3%, 6.5%
    effective. Rate changes weekly. Share draft accounts are now paying
    5.4%, 5.55% effective. Interested computed daily, posted quarterly.
    
    RSVP = "Reserve Savings Vehicle for People". This is a replacement
    for CHEF accounts, but is more flexible.

18.1	Maximum?	WELFAR::PGRANSEWICZ		`Wed Mar 18 1987 16:33`	4
	Is there a MAXIMUM amount that can be withdrawn? This sounds too good to be true. Are they compensating for the low number of transactions which would be going against such an account?
18.2	$100 minimum	PBSVAX::HALBERT		`Wed Mar 18 1987 17:44`	1
	You have to keep at least $100 in the account. --Dan
18.3	Rate based on??	ATRISK::TANCILL	In my mind, I still need a place to go...	`Fri Apr 24 1987 14:52`	8
	Anyone know what they base their weekly fluctuating rate on? I can't see much of a reason to maintain a regular savings (share 1) account with RSVP around. jt
18.4		TOMK::KRUPINSKI	A dark morning in America	`Wed Nov 25 1992 10:31`	8
	The "3 withdrawals a month" restriction has apparently been gone for some time. Ditto for the $100 minimum balance and $100 minimum withdrawals? If so, since the rate is greater than normal savings, why even bother with a normal savings account (except for the $5 minimum). Why not eliminate RSVP and make the savings rate the RSVP rate? Tom_K
18.5		PATE::MACNEAL	ruck `n' roll	`Wed Nov 25 1992 11:13`	1
	I think there is still a minimum balance of $100 on RSVP accounts.
18.6	Just a named savings account with minimum balance	CADSYS::FLEECE::RITCHIE	Elaine Kokernak Ritchie	`Wed Nov 25 1992 11:19`	3
	Is the rate greater than normal savings any more? Elaine
18.7		PATE::MACNEAL	ruck `n' roll	`Wed Nov 25 1992 11:39`	3
	�Is the rate greater than normal savings any more? Yes, but not much.
18.8		PATE::MACNEAL	ruck `n' roll	`Wed Nov 25 1992 11:40`	21
