'Help for Haiti' ShoreBank Pacific Certificate of Deposit - Give 1% to Haiti

February to July, 2010

In keeping with their mission of building strong communities, ShoreBank Pacific has partnered with Portland neighbor, Mercy Corps, to offer a special 'Help for Haiti' Certificate of Deposit (CD).

The CD partnership will generate ongoing support for Mercy Corps' rebuilding efforts, helping Haiti to transition from receiving aid to leading their own recovery. Join the 'Help for Haiti' Community! To get a taste of the program, go to YouTube.

How does the 'Help for Haiti' Partnership CD work? Open a 15-month FDIC insured Certificate of Deposit and agree to donate the 1% interest* on the CD to Mercy Corps' Haiti relief efforts. Each quarter ShoreBank Pacific will pay the interest to Mercy Corps. As a registered 501(c)3, Mercy Corps will quarterly mail a receipt stating the amount of the contribution and that it is tax-deductible as allowable by law.

* Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is 1.00%. Minimum of $500 is required to open account and obtain APY. Withdrawal of interest will not affect APY. A penalty of 90 days interest will be assessed if principal is withdrawn before maturity. The 'Help for Haiti' Partnership Certificate of Deposit is available through July 31, 2010.
