*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of 12/1/2021. Rates may change after account is opened. For My Cash, if qualifications are met each monthly qualification cycle: (1) Domestic ATM fees incurred during qualification cycle will be reimbursed up to $20 and credited to account on the last day of monthly statement cycle; (2) balances up to $15,000 receive APY of 3.00%; and (3) balances over $15,000 earn 0.15% interest rate on the portion of the balance over $15,000, resulting in a range of 3.00% to 0.55% APY depending on the balance. If qualifications are not met on My Cash all balances earn 0.10% APY. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle My Cash account during monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post to and settle account. ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning one day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one day prior to the close of the current statement cycle. The advertised My Cash APY is based on compounding interest. Interest earned in My Cash is automatically transferred to Saver each statement cycle and does not compound. Actual interest amount paid may be less than advertised My Cash APY. The Saver APYs may be less than My Cash APYs. If qualifications in My Cash are met each monthly qualification cycle: (1) balances up to $10,000 in Saver receive an APY of 0.25%; and (2) balances over $10,000 in Saver earn 0.15% interest rate on portion of balance over $10,000, resulting in a range of 0.16% to 0.25% APY depending on the balance. If qualifications are not met on My Cash, all balances in Saver earn 0.10% APY. Transfers between accounts do not count as qualifying transactions.
