Disclosures
When your Checking Plus account qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, daily balances up to and including $25,000 in your Checking Plus account earn a dividend rate (APR) of 4.89% resulting in an APY of 5.00% and daily balances greater than $25,000 earn a dividend rate (APR) of .50% on the portion of the daily balance over $25,000, resulting in a range from 1.38% to 5.00% APY depending on the account’s daily balance.
You will receive reimbursements up to an aggregate total of $25.00 for nationwide ATM withdrawal fees incurred within your Checking Plus account during that Monthly Qualification Cycle. We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees based on estimates when the withdrawal information we receive does not identify the ATM withdrawal fee. If you have not received an appropriate reimbursement, we will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive the transaction receipt within sixty (60) calendar days of the withdrawal transaction. When your Checking Plus qualifications are not met, the dividend rate earned on the account’s entire daily balance will be 0.049% resulting in an annual percentage yield of 0.05% and ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded.
Dividends will be credited to your Checking Plus account on the first day following the current statement cycle. Nationwide ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will be credited to your account on the first day following the current statement cycle.
APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of 05/01/2022. APY calculations are based on an assumed balance $25,000 + $100,000 in your Checking Plus account and an assumed statement cycle of /thirty-one (31) days.
