Interest Information

Interest Rate and APY If your daily balance is $5,000 or more, the interest rate paid on the entire collected balance in your account will be 0.06%, with an annual percentage yield of 0.06%. The interest rate and annual percentage yield may change at any time at our discretion. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Rates effective 10/03/2024.
How the Interest Rate is Calculated We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the collected balance in the account each day.
How Interest is Compounded Interest will be compounded and credited to the account monthly. If you close your account before the interest is credited, you will receive the accrued interest.
When Interest Begins to Accrue Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks).
