Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards.

Reward Information:

Depending on what reward checking account you have, you will receive the following rewards when you meet your account's qualifications during a Monthly Qualification Cycle:

High Yield Checking: daily balances up to and including $24,999.99 receive an APY of 5.5%; and daily balances equal to or greater than $25,000.00 earn an interest rate of 0.2497% on the portion of the daily balance equal to or greater than $25,000.00, resulting in a range from 5.50% to 1.30% APY depending on the account's daily balance.

Cash Back Checking: you will receive 5.0% cash back on up to a total of $200.00 debit card purchases that post and settle to the account during that cycle period. A maximum of $10.00 cash back payments may be earned per Monthly Qualification Cycle.

Saver: daily balances up to and including $99,999.99 in your Saver account earn an APY of 2.50% and daily balances equal to or greater than $100,000.00 earn an interest rate of 0.2497% on the portion of the daily balance equal to or greater than $100,000.00, resulting in a range from 2.50% to 1.38% APY depending on the account's daily balance.

Depending on your reward checking account, when your qualifications are not met, cash back payments are not made and:

High Yield Checking: the entire daily balance in the High Yield Checking account earns 0.05% APY.

Saver: the entire daily balance in the Saver account earns 0.05% APY.

Interest will be credited to your High Yield Checking and Saver accounts on the last day of the current statement cycle.

If High Yield Checking or Cash Back Checking are linked to Saver, the following also apply:

High Yield Checking: When linked to a Saver account, the interest earned within the High Yield Checking account does not compound since it is automatically transferred to the Saver account within one day. This automatic transfer may cause an overdraft to your High Yield Checking account, if the account balance is less than the transferred amount when the transfer occurs.

Cash Back Checking: When linked to a Saver account, the cash back payments earned in your Cash Back Checking account will be credited to your Saver account on the last day of the current statement cycle.

*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of July 1, 2026. APY calculations are based on an assumed balance of $24,999.99 + $100,000 in your High Yield Checking account and $99,999.99 + $100,000 in your Saver account and an assumed statement cycle of thirty-one (31) days.

Rates, rewards, and bonuses, if any, are variable and may change after account is opened; rates may change without notice to you. No minimum balance is required to earn or receive the account's rewards. Rewards less than a penny cannot be distributed. Fees may reduce earnings.
