Frequently Asked Questions

What does Revocable Proxy mean?

North Shore Bank is a mutual association and therefore every person who opens an account with us becomes a member of the association and is entitled to elect directors and vote on certain business matters. Each saver is given one vote for each $100 or fraction thereof of the withdrawal value of their accounts up to a maximum of 1000 votes. Many account holders are unable to, or don't care to vote in person, therefore, the signed proxy authorizes a trusted official of North Shore Bank to cast the account owner's vote in his/her absence. This proxy vote can be revoked or signed/added at any time.

A Roth IRA conversion made in 2017 may be recharacterized as a contribution to a traditional IRA if the recharacterization was made by October 15, 2018.
