BONUS CHECKING FAQs

What is APY?

APY stands for Annual Percentage Yield. This percentage rate tells you how much money you’ll earn from a savings account with compounding interest. You earn interest on the money you deposit and on the interest you previously earned in the savings account. This phenomenon, known as compounding, lets you build up your savings more quickly.

What is an ACH automatic debit payment?

An ACH automatic debit is a type of Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic payment where a payee (the receiver of the payment) is authorized by the payer (the account holder) to withdraw funds from their bank account on a regular, scheduled basis.

Can I get a paper statement instead of an eStatement?

Yes, however paper statements are subject to a $5 fee.

What interest rate applies on balances up to $10,000?

On balances of up to $10,000, the competitive higher rate will apply. Balances greater than $10,000 will earn 0.15% APY.

**Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay may qualify as transactions depending on how you set up your digital wallet. If you use your debit card in the digital wallet, these transactions will count towards the requirement. If, however, you set up your digital wallet using routing and account numbers, those are processed as automatic clearing house (ACH) transactions and will not count towards the requirement. You can adjust settings inside your digital wallet. Contact us for assistance.

***If qualifications are not met, a base rate annual percentage yield will be paid on balances $0.01 and above. Please see our current rate sheet for current interest rates.
