All we ask in return is that you actually use the account – that means at least 10 checks or debits must clear your account each month to avoid a monthly service charge. 

What counts toward the 10?

  • Writing a check and having it post to your account
  • Using our Bill Pay to pay a bill
  • Paying bills at your payee’s site (such as going to your cable TV company’s website and paying from your checking account or linked debit card)
  • Having payments automatically deducted from your account
  • Using your debit card to make payments when you buy gas or groceries or anything else
  • Even withdrawing cash from an ATM counts! 

You can do that!

Hey, it’s your money; you may as well earn something for keeping it with us.  Plus, because interest is calculated DAILY (credited monthly) even if you only have BIG balances in your account just a few days per month – your money still earns the BIG interest rate for those days.  Check to see if your bank does that.

*APY information is accurate as of December 1, 2008 and is subject to change without notice. Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly. Accountholder must have a balance of $7,500 or more to earn the 3.00% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) - balances between $5,000.00 and $7,499.99 will earn 1.75% APY and balances between $100.00 and $4,999.99 will earn 0.50% APY. Minimum balance to open account and earn interest is $100. This is a variable rate account. Rates may change after the account is opened. A minimum of ten (10) checks/debits must be paid against the account per statement cycle (except internal transfers) to avoid a monthly service charge of $20. A $25 fee is charged for accounts closed within 90 days of opening. Fees may reduce earnings. Identity Theft Resolution applies to the first two owners of the account.
