Qualifications
Qualifying for rewards is so easy, you’re probably already doing it! Simply do the following transactions and activities for each monthly qualification cycle:
- Have at least 8 debit card purchases (POS) post and settle (excluding ATM transactions)
- Have at least 1 direct deposit or automatic payment (ACH) post and settle
- Be enrolled and log into online banking
- Be enrolled and receive eStatement notice via Online Banking notice given by email
– Must maintain a valid email address
– You will be required to notify the bank with any changes to your email address
– Images of checks available online
If you don’t qualify during a monthly qualification cycle, don’t worry! There is no penalty, and you still have a free checking account that earns our base interest rate. Plus, you get a base rate of 0.25% APY* and you get right back to making 3.30% APY* and enjoying ATM fee refunds** the next cycle you qualify.

If qualifications are met each monthly qualification cycle: (1) Domestic ATM fees incurred during qualification cycle will be reimbursed and credited to account on the last day of monthly statement cycle; (2) balances up to $100,000 receive APY of 3.30%; and (3) balances over $100,00.01 with the APY for this tier ranging from 3.30% to 1.53% depending on the balance in the account. If qualifications are not met, all balances earn 0.25% APY. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle account during monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post to and settle an account. ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. “Monthly Qualification Cycle” means a period beginning one day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one day prior to the close of the current statement cycle.
