1 Annual Percentage Yield (APY) disclosed is effective as of June 1, 2026, and may be changed by the Bank at any time, including after account opening. This is a tiered rate account. Minimum daily balance to earn interest is $1.01. Tier 1 – An interest rate of 4.88% will be paid on the entire portion of your daily balance up to, but not exceeding, $10,000.00. The APY for this tier is 5.00%. Tier 2 – An interest rate of 0.75% will be paid only for that portion of your daily balance that is above $10,000.00. The APY for this tier will range from 5.00% to 2.87%, depending on the balance in the account. APY range computation is based on an assumed account balance of $20,000.00. If your balance exceeds $10,000.00, a blended rate will be used to reflect the APY on your account statement and will be based on the number of days in your statement cycle. The blended APY decreases as your account balance increases above $10,000.00. There is a $1.00 minimum deposit to open the account.
