¹ Early Pay: Early pay is not dependent upon the account qualifications noted above. At our sole discretion, we may make your money available to you up to two days before we receive the funds from the payor. Early availability of direct deposits is dependent on the timing of your payor’s payment instructions and/or fraud prevention overlays. These limitations may be modified at our sole discretion without advance notice. We do not guarantee early availability of any direct deposits, and eligibility of a direct deposit for early availability may change between pay periods. Any direct deposit not posted early will be made available according to our Funds Availability schedule. We reserve the right to discontinue the service at our sole discretion and without notice.

² Complete Checking Dividend Rates: To receive the stated dividend rate for a particular monthly qualification cycle, you must receive monthly eStatements, at minimum ten (10) debit card purchases per month must have posted and maintain an aggregate minimum direct deposit of $150.00 to this account per month. Rewards will be calculated and paid on the last day of each cycle. If account requirements are not met, the dividend rate on the entire balance is .0% for that monthly cycle.

Complete 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. The annual percentage yields, which vary depending on the balance in the account, are shown for each tier. See dividend table for additional details on rates by balance tier.
