*APY = Annual Percentage Yield and accurate as of 3/1/2025. To earn the 5.50% APY on balances up to $25,000, account qualifications must be met during the monthly cycle. Balances of $25,000.01 and over will earn 0.50% APY if all account qualifications are met during the monthly cycle. When qualifications are not met, your account will earn 0.05% APY. No minimum deposit or minimum balance is required to open or maintain the account. A monthly ACH debit/credit, 15 debit card purchases per month, and enrollment in online banking and e-statements are required for this account. These transactions do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts and debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our credit union as Bill Payment transactions. Rates, rewards, and bonuses may change after the account is opened; rates may change without notice. Account approval, conditions, qualifications, limits, timeframes, enrollments, log-ons and other requirements apply. Accounts must remain active to avoid potential dormancy fees. If account qualifications are not met ATM refunds will not apply. Membership restrictions apply. Advertised high-rate claim is based on FDIC’s National Weekly Rates for interest checking accounts. Claim is independent of any one institution’s offerings. Comparison Source: Interest Checking, FDIC 12/16/2024. Funds federally insured by NCUA.

**On occasion, we may not receive information ahead of time from the ACH originator and may not be able to post your deposit early. In this case, your deposit will post on the scheduled posting day. TFCU isn’t responsible for NSF fees or penalties from transactions in advance of an anticipated early ACH credit posting.
