M & M Bank Ups Interst
On Savings Accounts,
Ends Exchange on Checks
The Miners and Merchants Bank
this morning announced a change
in policy and the hiking of their
interest rate on savings accounts.
The change in policy, effective
on April 1, is the discontinuing of
the exchange charged on checks
drawn on other banks. The new
new policy places this bank on a
par with all other banks in the
rest of the United States in that
• no exchange will be charged on
checks drawn on, or cashed at,
banks anywhere in the U.S.
The interest paid on savings ac
counts will be raised from 2 per
cent to 3 per cent on April 1. Ac
cording to bank officials this is
the highest rate paid by any com
mercial bank.
Deposits to new or existing sav
ings accounts on or before April
15, 1960, will receive interest at
• the new rate for the full second
quarter, according to the an
nouncement.
