APY = Annual Percentage Yield. There are no monthly service fees with a minimum monthly direct deposit of $500. A Minimum deposit of $25 is required upon opening. This is a tiered account. Once a particular balance range is met, the Dividend Rate and APY listed for that balance range will apply only to the balance in the account over that amount. Dividends are calculated on the daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. APY could change without notice and after account is opened. You must make 4 debit card transactions excluding ATM withdrawals, each month on this account to qualify for the 2.25% APY tier. To qualify, the transactions must post to your account by the close of business on the last day of the month.You will earn 0.10% APY if you don’t meet the monthly requirements. Maintenance or Activity Fees associated with an account may reduce earnings. All terms and conditions are subject to change.

We cannot assume any liability for not depositing these funds to your account early. You agree to be bound by Automated Clearing House association rules.  These rules provide, among other things, that payments made to you are provisional until final settlement is made through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code. If we do not receive such payment, we are entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your account.
