Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What does this mean for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
Accounts are subject to approval.
1The APYs are accurate as of 11/21/2024 and may change without notice. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. A penalty will be imposed for early withdrawals. If the account is opened with $100,000 or more, you must maintain a daily balance of $100,000 in your account each day to obtain the disclosed APY. If the account is opened with less than $100,000, you must maintain a minimum daily balance of $500.00 in your account each day to obtain the disclosed APY. If your account falls below the minimum balance requirements, your account will be closed. Certain restrictions apply on IRAs. Not all taxpayers are eligible. Consult your tax advisor.
