Qualifying transactions must post to and settle your account during the monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days to post and settle. ATM-processed transactions do not count toward the required debit card purchases.

The monthly qualification cycle begins on the first day of the current statement cycle and ends at the close of that statement cycle. Ultimate Cash Back rewards are credited to your Ultimate Saver account on the last day of the monthly statement cycle.

Domestic ATM fees incurred during the qualification cycle will be reimbursed when monthly qualifications are met. An ATM receipt is required for reimbursement of any individual ATM fee of $5 or more. Limit one Ultimate Cash Back account per Social Security number.

  • Make at least 12 debit card purchases of $10 or more that post and settle to your account

  • Enroll in and receive e-statements

  • Enroll in and log in to online banking

  • Have at least one automatic payment, ACH debit or credit, or Remote Deposit post and settle

Important Account Information

APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are accurate as of 9/1/2026. Rates may change after the account is opened. A Regular Share Account with a minimum $5 deposit is required.

When monthly qualifications are met: (1) domestic ATM fees incurred during the qualification cycle will be reimbursed and credited to the account on the last day of the monthly statement cycle; (2) balances up to $25,000 earn 2.75% APY; and (3) balances over $25,000 earn the applicable dividend rate on the portion of the balance over $25,000, resulting in an APY that varies depending on the account balance. If monthly qualifications are not met, all balances earn 0.01% APY.

Qualifying transactions must post to and settle the Ultimate Cash account during the monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days to post and settle. ATM-processed transactions do not count toward qualifying debit card purchases.

The monthly qualification cycle begins on the first day of the current statement cycle and ends at the close of that statement cycle. Dividends earned in Ultimate Cash are automatically transferred to Ultimate Saver each statement cycle and do not compound in the Ultimate Cash account. As a result, the actual dividend paid may be less than the advertised Ultimate Cash APY. Ultimate Saver APYs may be lower than Ultimate Cash APYs.

Limit one account per Social Security number. An ATM receipt is required for reimbursement of any individual ATM fee of $5 or more.Share Draft Checking
