Annual Percentage Yield (APY) accurate as of 01/01/2025. Rates subject to change after account opening. $50 minimum deposit is required to open the account.

Qualifications per statement cycle to earn rewards; one (1) monthly ACH credit or debit, 15 debit card transactions, and one (1) log in to your online banking. There is a recurring monthly maintenance fee of $4.95 on this account, which will be waived if qualifications are met.

When qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, daily balances up to and including $15,000.00 earn an interest rate of 4.00% APY and daily balances over $15,000.00 earn an interest rate of 1.00% APY on the portion of the daily balance over $15,000.00 resulting in a range from 4.00% to 1.39% APY depending on the account's daily balance. When qualifications are not met, the interest rate earned on the account's entire daily balance will be an APY of 0.05%. Interest will be credited to your account on the last day of the current statement cycle.

"Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning one (1) banking day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one (1) banking day prior to the last business day of the current statement cycle.

Account transactions and activities may take one (1) or more days to post and settle to the account and all must do so during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in order to qualify for the account's rewards. The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our institution as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions and purchases made with debit cards not issued by our bank. Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards.
