It says that I must make a monthly deposit (minimum of $1) in order to obtain the bonus variable rate, however, since there is no bonus interest (0.00%), then do we still earn the standard rate of 2.00% each month if I make no monthly deposits? (e.g. I put in and initial $5000, and don’t deposit any money for 12 months, do I still earn that 2.00% each month?)


Thank you!

Hi Carmen,


Thanks for getting in touch.


The answer to your question is no. You won’t earn the standard rate of 2.00% if you don’t make any monthly deposits. Interest is only earned if at least one deposit and no withdrawals are made within a calendar month.


They calculate interest by applying the daily percentage rate to your account balance. They pay interest on the last day of each month if at least one deposit and no withdrawals have been made in the calendar month. No Interest applies if no deposits and/or any number of withdrawals have been made during the month. Conditions apply. Please read their Terms and Conditions for more information.


I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.


Have a wonderful day!


Cheers,

Joshua Infantado

Hi Hx,


Thanks for your inquiry.


Statement savings account has a wider array of options for making transactions, such as by using ATMs, and you receive regular mailed or electronic statements detailing your deposits, withdrawals, and interest compared to passbook savings.


Hope this information helped.


Cheers,

Arnold
