(3) A member may withdraw from a domestic credit union at any time, but the domestic credit union may require a notice of withdrawal from the withdrawing member as a condition of withdrawal.
(4) When money becomes available, and after deducting all amounts owed to the domestic credit union by the member, a domestic credit union shall pay a person whose membership is terminated or that is a withdrawing member any amounts paid on shares or as deposits of the member and any dividends or interest accrued on the shares or deposits before the date of payment.

A domestic credit union may waive an applicable notice period for a specific member or account in writing.
