How to earn the 4.00% APY¹

1 APY = Annual Percentage Yield. If qualifications are met each monthly qualification cycle, balances of $0.01 to $25,000.00 receive APY of 4.00%, and balances of $25,000.01 and up earn 0.05% APY. If qualifications are not met, all balances earn 0.05% APY. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle to the account during the monthly qualification cycle. “Monthly Qualification Cycle” means a period beginning the first day of the month and ending the last day of the month; which is the same date period as your statement cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date the transaction was made to post and settle to the account.
