Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of noncash items (for example, checks). Interest will be compounded monthly and will be credited to the account monthly.

Balance Information: We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on the account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. You must maintain a minimum balance of $0.01 in the account each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield.

Limitations: You must deposit $50.00 to open this account. To qualify for "KASASA Cash" rates and receive reimbursements on your ATM fee surcharges, you must perform the following during the monthly qualification cycle.

* Have at least 10 debit card purchases posted and settled
* Be enrolled and receive e-statements
* Be enrolled and log into online banking during the monthly qualification cycle

Enrollment in online banking and in electronic statement is required to meet qualifications.

Please note that transactions must post and settle to your account during the monthly qualification cycle. They may not be in a pending state to qualify as one of the qualifications. Transactions may take one or more business days from the date the transaction was made to post and settle to an account.

Monthly Qualification Cycle Explanation: "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning one (1) business day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle through one (1) business day prior to the close of the current statement cycle. Your account will be automatically qualified on that one day prior to the first day of the current statement cycle. What this means for you is if you did not qualify for the higher preferred rate, you might notice a slightly higher than the base rate APY earned on your statement due to the one day (the last day) being calculated with the higher preferred rate.

Monthly Statement Cycle Explanation: "Statement Cycle" means the period of time for which our bank provides a summary of the financial activities and transactions that post and settle to the accountholder's account.
