Deposits not exceeding $1,000 may also be paid via the following credit cards: VISA, MasterCard, AmericanExpress, and Discover. Deposits exceeding $50,000 may be eligible for coverage under the TVPPA Credit Insurance Program. Please contact our office for program details at (423) 952-5000. Irrevocable Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds are acceptable upon meeting BrightRidge criteria. Either deposit substitute chosen would need to match the deposit quote, name BrightRidge as the beneficiary, and be renewed annually. Advance notice of cancellation in writing is required. Interest for deposits is applied annually at the current passbook savings rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon termination of service, any deposit and interest will be applied against any unpaid balance of the customer.
