Annual Percentage Yield (APY) may change at any time. Minimum deposit to open savings and money market accounts is $1.00 and for checking accounts is $50.00. Minimum balance to obtain the APY is $1.00. Fees could reduce the earnings on the account.

Jumbo Savings Account:

This account is an interest bearing account. When the daily balance is between $25,000 and $99,999.99 the annual percentage yield on the account is 1.01%. When the daily balance is $100,000 or more, the annual percentage yield on the account is 1.20% at our discretion, we may change the interest rate daily. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (for example, checks.) Interest will be compounded monthly. Interest will be credited to the account monthly.
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 $25,000 in the account each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield. The minimum opening deposit is $25,000. Should the balance fall below $25,000 the interest rate and annual percentage yield will be .50%.
You may make six (6) transfers from your account each four (4) weeks, or similar period.

A $25.00 per month service charge will apply if the balance drops below the $25,000 minimum daily balance requirement.

Giant Steps Account Rate Information:
This account is an interest bearing account.  The interest rate and Annual Percentage Yields may change.  When the daily balance is between $2,500 and $24,999.99 the annual percentage yield on the account is based on the thirteen week Treasury Bill discount rate less 1 1/2%.  When the daily balance is $25,000 or more, the annual percentage yield on the account is based on the thirteen week Treasury Bill discount rate less 1%.  When the daily balance is below $2,500, the annual percentage yield is based on our current NOW account rate.  We will change the interest rate on the account weekly to reflect the latest auction.  Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks).  Interest will be compounded monthly.  Interest will be credited to the account monthly.  If you close the account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. The minimum opening deposit is $1.00. Fees could reduce earnings on the account.
