Smart Saver FAQs

How does the Smart Saver Reverse Tier account help me maximize growth on my initial savings?

The Smart Saver account is designed to give your smaller balances a big boost. You earn our highest APY on the first $2,500 in your account (balances from $0 to $2,499.99), ensuring your savings grow quickly and immediately from the moment you open the account.

How is interest calculated with the Reverse Tier structure when my balance grows?

The reverse tier structure means your balance earns interest based on a tiered calculation, resulting in a blended APY.

Are there any fees or minimum balance requirements to earn the high APY?

No. The Smart Saver Reverse Tier account has no monthly service fees and no minimum opening deposit or minimum balance requirement. You can also make deposits and access your money whenever you need it.
