  subject to withdrawal or to payment upon the depositor’s check, order, or other authorization. (2) At the time of opening a deposit account, a financial institution shall provide the
  depositor a statement containing the existing terms and conditions of the deposit
  contract. The statement may be set forth on the depositor’s signature card. Depositors
  and any other owners of interests in a deposit account shall be bound by changes made
  by the financial institution in their deposit contracts. Financial institutions shall
  provide advance notice of changes in accordance with 12 U.S.C. § 4301 et seq. (3) A financial institution, in its sole discretion, may refuse deposits and at any time
  may return all or part of a deposit. (4) For any period during which funds are on deposit, a financial institution may pay
  interest. (c) Insurance of deposits or accounts. Except as permitted by chapter 202, subchapter 6 of this title, a Vermont financial
  institution that accepts deposits or a branch of a state financial institution authorized

  institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (d) Cash reserve on deposits and accounts. A financial institution shall maintain reserves on deposits or accounts as required
  from time to time by the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and any regulations promulgated
  under it. (Added 1999, No. 153 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. Jan. 1, 2001.)
