Monthly Qualifications to Earn Rewards
When you meet these monthly qualifications, you get some great rewards! Enrollments must be in place and all of the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your Interest Rewards Checking account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle:
- At least 12 debit card purchases
- At least 1 ACH transaction (deposit or withdrawal)
- Be enrolled in and agree to receive eStatements
If you don't meet the qualifications one month, don't worry. There is no penalty, and you still have a free checking account that earns our base interest rate. Plus, you can get back to earning big interest and nationwide ATM fee refunds the very next month.
Yeah, it's a "free account," but you may do some other stuff that could cause a fee.
