(A) A state savings bank reserves the right to require a fourteen-day advance notice of intention to withdraw from savings accounts not having a fixed or minimum term of at least fourteen days or a prior notice-of-withdrawal requirement of at least fourteen days.
(B) Unless otherwise specified in its articles of incorporation, when a state savings bank cannot pay withdrawal requests within fourteen days of the date of receipt of written requests in the order received, it must proceed in the following manner:
(1) requests must be paid in numerical order as filed with the state savings bank and, as each number is reached, the account holder must be paid the lesser of one thousand dollars or the amount of the withdrawal request. If the amount of the request is not paid in full, the request must be renumbered, placed at the end of the list of requests, and acted upon in the same way when its new number is reached, until the request is paid in full. However, when a request is reached for payment, the state savings bank shall notify the account holder by registered mail at his last address as recorded on the state savings bank's books and, unless the holder within fourteen days from the mailing of the notice applies in person or in writing for payment, the request must be canceled and not paid. Regardless of other provisions in this section, the board of directors may pay on an equitable basis an amount not exceeding two hundred dollars to an account holder in a calendar month;
(2) The state savings bank shall allot to the payment of the withdrawal requests the remainder of the state savings bank's receipts from all sources after deducting amounts for expenses, required payments on indebtedness, earnings distributable in cash to holders of savings accounts, and a fund for general corporate purposes of not more than twenty percent of the state savings bank's receipts from its account holders and its borrowers.
(C) A state savings bank may compute earnings on amounts withdrawn from its insured accounts having an indefinite term during the last three business days of a period for which earnings are distributable as if the withdrawal had been made immediately after the close of that period.
