It’s Easy to Earn Rewards

Qualifying for your Ultimate Checking cash back Debit Card rewards automatically qualifies you for the highest Ultimate Saver rate, too. Enrollments must be in place, and all of the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your Ultimate Checking during each Monthly Qualification Cycle:

  • At least 12 signature or PIN-based Debit Card purchases
  • Be enrolled in and agree to receive eStatements

Even if you don’t meet your qualifications during the cycle, your Ultimate Accounts are still FREE. Plus, you’ll still earn our base interest rate on the Ultimate Saver and you can get right back to earning your full rewards the very next month!

APY=Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of 1/1/2024. This is a variable rate account, so the yield is subject to change at the credit union’s discretion without prior notice. When monthly qualifications are met, you will receive 2% cash back on Debit Card purchases that post to and settle account during Monthly Qualification Cycle up to a total cash back of $10 per month. Domestic ATM fees incurred using Ultimate Checking Debit Card during qualification cycle will be reimbursed up to $10 if qualifications are met within Monthly Qualification Cycle. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle account during the Monthly Qualification Cycle.

ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying Debit Card transactions. “Monthly Qualification Cycle” means a period ending one (1) day prior to the last business day of each month. Ultimate Checking cash back rewards will be credited to your Ultimate Saver on the last day of the monthly statement cycle.
