Dividend Rate

APY*

*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. To earn 4.00% APY, must meet just 4 simple criteria as follows: 1) Requires minimum of one direct deposit per month that must post and clear your account during the monthly cycle. 2) Requires 10 monthly debit card purchases, minimum of $5 per purchase, that must post and clear your account during the monthly cycle. 3) Must sign-up for eStatements. 4) Keep a minimum monthly balance of $1,000 in checking account only, not all deposit accounts combined. That’s it! You’ll earn 4.00% APY in every month of the year during which these 4 activities occur. For example, if you meet all 4 criteria in February and March, but not in April, you will earn 4.00% in February and March but not in April. 4.00% rate will be paid on deposits in checking account up to $25,000. Balance amounts over $25,000 will earn 0.05%. Rates are effective as of December 1, 2022 and are subject to change at any time without notice. Credit union membership required. Personal accounts only, no business accounts. One MaxRewards Checking Account per account/unique SSN. MaxRewards Checking accounts are Tiered Rate accounts. For these accounts, the specified Dividend Rate for a tier will apply only to the portion of the account balance that is within that tier. Any questions?
