Maturity value—The dollar amount established by the board of directors of an association at which serial installment accounts shall be fully paid, which amount includes periodic installment payments made by account holders and earnings credited thereto by an association. An association shall disburse serial installment accounts to account holders when the established maturity value has been reached. The maturity value of serial installment accounts shall be not less than $100 per unit.
Regular savings account—A savings account other than a serial installment account or a higher rate savings account. The types of regular savings accounts issued by savings associations are defined as follows:
