It’s Easy to Earn Rewards
Qualifying for your High Yield Checking dividend rewards automatically qualifies you for the highest Saver rate, too. Enrollments must be in place, and all of the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your High Yield 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 Saver and High Yield Checking Accounts are still FREE. Plus, you’ll still earn our base yield of 0.05% APY* on balances in both Accounts and you can get right back to earning your full dividend rewards the very next month!
Disclaimer
*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. This is a variable rate account, so the yield is subject to change at the credit union’s discretion without prior notice. Account package consists of Saver and High Yield Checking account with matching tiered interest on balances in both accounts; if monthly qualifications are met. Account balances up to $25,000 will earn a yield of 3.00% APY with balances greater than $25,000 earning a yield ranging between 3.00%APY & 1.40% APY. If monthly qualifications are not met then account balances will earn a yield of 0.05% APY. Only allowed one Rewards Checking per member SSN.
