Why did my savings interest show up as two deposits this year?

In January 2026, many members saw their 2025 savings interest appear in two separate payments instead of one. This is due to our new, upgraded banking system, which posts interest differently than our previous system.

What changed?

With our upgraded system:

  • A base amount of interest is automatically posted in early January.
  • Once our Board approves the final annual interest rate, we then post the remaining “top-up” amount.
  • Because the top-up requires processing time, it may appear 7–10 business days after the first deposit.
  • This is why you may see two interest transactions instead of one.

Does this mean I earned less interest?

No. This change is mainly about how and when the interest is posted, not about taking interest away.

If your account received two interest deposits, they are meant to add up to the full interest amount approved for your account type.

Why is interest posted in January?

Interest earned during the year is typically posted after year-end, which is why you’ll often see it in early January of the following year.
