3 High Interest Savings. APY=Annual Percentage Yield and assumes interest is reinvested and the rate continues for a year. The APY is variable and may change after the account is opened. You must maintain the minimum daily balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. First Tier: 5.00% APY from $1.00 - $2,500, if First Tier qualifications are met. Second Tier: 0.03% APY on $2,500.01 or more, and on balance if First Tier qualifications are not met. The account requires a $1 minimum opening deposit. First tier APY is conditional on meeting the following requirements on the day before the last day of the month to receive benefits for that same month: enrollment in eStatements; monthly direct deposit of at least $250 posted to one deposit account; 15 posted point-of-sale debit card transactions per month to a single checking account tied to the membership; OR enrollment in eStatements and 25 posted point-of-sale debit card transactions per month to a single checking account tied to the membership. Transactions exclude refunds, credits, fees, pre-authorizations and ATM transactions. Each statement period that conditions are met after the account is opened, First Tier APY will be applied at the end of the statement period. If qualifications are not met, First Tier APY will discontinue and revert to the credit union’s base rate for Savings accounts until conditions are met. Due to compounding, interest earned may push balances into next rate tier, causing an APY change. If Checking account relationship is terminated or becomes inactive, First Tier APY will discontinue and revert to the credit union’s base rate for Savings accounts until conditions are met. Limit one High Interest Savings or Delta Savings account per member. Rates effective as of 04/01/2024.
