1APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Advantage One Credit Union limits the Advantage Checking product to one account per member social security number. To earn the advertised dividend for your Advantage Checking account, you must have: at least 18 Point-Of-Sale debit card transactions of $5 or more posted in a calendar month, $700 or more in electronic deposits (ACH or Mobile Deposit) posted in a calendar month, and be enrolled in eStatements. Balances over $10,000 will have tiered rates as follows: $10,000.01 = 0.30% APY, $25,000.01 = 0.40%, $100,000.01 = 0.50% APY. If you don't meet the qualifications for the advertised dividend, you will not be eligible to earn dividends for that month. Rates and terms are subject to change without notice. Dividends are paid on average daily balance, at the end of the month. No minimum balance to open the account or earn dividends. Fees may reduce earnings on the account. If the account is closed before dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid. The annual percentage yield is accurate as of 09/01/2024.
2Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2-3 days earlier than the scheduled payment date. Advantage One cannot guarantee early deposits in all cases.
3The earned per year amount shown is calculated by a full year at the account balance amount selected in the slider. Your results may vary as your daily account balance fluctuates.
