APY Details
Rewards Checking earns 7.00% APY on balances up to $10,000 when monthly qualifications are met; advertised blended APY above $10,000 ranges from 7.00% to 2.34%. Pathfinder Checking earns 1.00% APY up to $1,000, with an advertised blended range of 1.00%–0.11% above $1,000. Only funds within each tier earn that tier's rate. Simple Checking lists no APY.
