*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APY is accurate as of September 1, 2026, and is subject to change without notice. The Special Rate APY applies to balances up to $15,000 during each statement cycle when account qualifications are met. To qualify, you must have either one direct deposit or one automatic withdrawal each month or complete at least 25 debit card purchase transactions during the statement cycle. Balances over $15,000 will earn the Interest Rewards Market Rate. If account qualifications are not met during the statement cycle, the account will earn the Interest Rewards Base Rate. Fees may reduce earnings. Contact us for current rates and complete account details.
