| * All rates and Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) are accurate as of the rate effective date and are subject to change without notice. The Annual Percentage Yield is the rate at which an account would earn interest over a one-year period if the stated interest rate remained in effect and all interest paid on the account was left in the account. Interest is compounded monthly on all accounts. Fees on your account could reduce earnings. Rate(s) may change after the account is opened. Cannot be combined with any other offers. Minimum deposit of $25 required to open account. If your daily balance is $10,000 or less, the interest rate paid on the entire balance will be 1.00% with an annual percentage yield of 1.00%. An interest rate of 0.25% will be paid only for that portion of your daily balance that is greater than $10,000. The annual percentage yield for this tier will range from 1.00% APY to 0.40% APY. For example purposes only, this APY range is calculated assuming account balances from $10,000.01 to $50,000.00. | ||
