It’s simple! You will be automatically enrolled in the Simple Banking Program once you have established a Simple Checking account in addition to a Simple Savings account. Complete five qualifying credit and/or debit transactions (minimum $25 per transaction) per month, and you will be eligible to receive an interest rate that is one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) higher than the then current interest rate in effect for the Simple Savings account(s). 

Here are the full details on the qualifying transactions:

Credit Transaction: A qualifying credit transaction for purposes of this Program means a credit of $25 or more to your Simple Checking account from a direct deposit, mobile Remoted Deposit Capture (mRDC), or a transfer from an account at another financial institution (including Person-to-Person transfers (P2P), such as Zelle). Credit transactions by any other means (e.g., ATM and/or in-person branch deposits or transfers between your accounts at Apple Bank) do not qualify as a credit transaction for purposes of meeting the eligibility criteria stated above.

Debit Transaction: A qualifying debit transaction for purposes of this Program means a debit of $25 or more from your Simple Checking account and includes ACH debits, electronic bill payments, electronic funds transfers to an account at another financial institution (including Person-to-Person transfers (P2P), such as Zelle) or use of your Visa Debit Card as a method of payment for a purchase. Debit transactions by any other means (e.g., ATM and/or in-person branch withdrawals or transfers between your accounts at Apple Bank) do not qualify as debit transactions for purposes of meeting the eligibility criteria stated above.

1You will be automatically enrolled in the Simple Banking Program once you have established a Simple Checking account (anchor account) in addition to your existing Simple Savings account (benefit account). Customers meeting the monthly transaction requirements will be eligible to receive a rate that is one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) higher (preferred rate) than the then current interest rate in effect for the Simple Savings Account(s). The Primary owner of the Simple Checking account must be with a Primary or Secondary owner of the Simple Savings Account (benefit account) and complete five (5) qualifying credit and/or debit transactions (minimum $25.00 per transaction) per month for the account to be eligible to receive the preferred interest rate. If you do not meet the qualification requirements in any monthly evaluation period, the preferred interest rate will be reduced to the then current Simple Savings interest rate in effect on the day after evaluation date. The Simple Banking Program allows for one (1) Simple Checking account which may be linked to multiple Simple Savings accounts for the purpose of receiving the preferred interest rate when the required activity in your Simple Checking account is met.
