Rosedale Federal will never send you an email requesting personal information such as your Social Security number, account numbers, PIN, date of birth, etc. If you receive email, or find yourself on a website, that looks suspicious or asks for personal information, delete it immediately. If it included the Rosedale Federal name, please notify our Customer Service at 410-668-4400. Also, if you are unsure as to whether an email is from Rosedale Federal, call Customer Service and ask.
When will the funds from my direct deposit be available to me?
Direct deposits are available on the day we receive the deposit.
How can I reduce non-sufficient funds fees?
The best way is to keep good records of check and debit card transactions so you know your balances. For extra peace of mind, you can protect yourself from fees caused by errors or shortages in your Rosedale Federal checking account by linking your Rosedale Federal savings account to cover shortages. Please contact Customer Service or visit a Rosedale Federal branch for more information.
What’s the difference between my available balance and my account balance?
The available balance is the amount of money in your account that is available for immediate use. This may differ from the account balance if there is activity that has been posted but not collected. For example, you may have deposited funds that are on a standard hold. They will appear in the account balance, but will not be included in the available balance until the deposit clears.
Who do I contact to stop payment on a check?
For assistance with a stop payment, please visit a Rosedale Federal branch or call 410.668.4400. A fee may apply.
What is a CD?
A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings instrument with a fixed maturity date. It generally has a specified fixed interest rate and can be issued in any denomination aside from the specified minimum funding requirement. A CD restricts access to the funds until the maturity date. Fees are generally assessed for early withdrawal of funds. Please visit rosedalefederal.com for information about Rosedale Federal CDs.
What are the differences between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA?
Both are qualified retirement accounts. A traditional IRA is funded with contributions that may be partially or fully tax-deductible. Both the funding and earnings are tax-deferred until you make withdrawals. A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax income. The contributions are not tax-deductible, but earnings on the account and withdrawals may be free from federal income tax. Consult your tax advisor regarding tax-deductibility.
What is a Coverdell account?
A Coverdell or education savings account (ESA) is a qualified account designed to help pay for future education expenses from kindergarten through grade 12 and college. Coverdell ESA contributions are not tax-deductible but the earnings will grow tax-deferred. Consult your tax advisor regarding tax-deductibility.
What does APR mean?
The annual percentage rate (APR) is a helpful comparison tool, allowing you to understand the annual cost to you of borrowing money. In addition to the interest rate, it can include any application fees, mortgage points, or other charges associated with a loan that are not paid upfront. If costs other than the interest are included in your payments, your APR will be higher than the interest rate.
What does APY mean?
The annual percentage yield the total amount of interest paid by the bank on your deposit account (checking, savings, CDs, IRAs) during the year. Because it includes compounded interest (i.e., interest on earnings) for the year, it is generally higher than the interest rate.
What are the differences between a money order, a cashier’s check, and a certified check?
A cashier’s check is drawn on the funds of the bank. The depositor pays for the check with funds from their account and receives the cashier’s check in return. A certified check is a personal check for which the bank verifies that sufficient funds exist in the account to cover the check, and so certifies, at the time the check is written. A money order is issued by a bank or other institution, allowing the individual named on the order to receive the specified amount of cash on demand. Money orders are frequently used by people who do not have checking accounts.
How do I send money by wire?
Wire transfers offer you a fast and reliable alternative to sending checks or money orders to people or companies. You can request a wire transfer from your Rosedale Federal checking or savings account at any Rosedale Federal branch.
