For Ultimate Cash, if qualifications are met each monthly qualification cycle: (1) Domestic ATM fees incurred during qualification cycle will be reimbursed and credited to account on the last day of monthly statement cycle; (2) balances up to $25,000 receive APY of 3.00%; and (3) balances over $25,000 earn 0.20% dividend rate on the portion of the balance over $25,000, resulting in 3.00% - 0.76% APY depending on the balance. If qualifications are not met on Ultimate Cash all balances earn 0.01% APY. Qualifying transactions must post to and settle Ultimate Cash account during monthly qualification cycle. Transactions may take one or more banking days from the date transaction was made to post to and settle an account. ATM-processed transactions do not count towards qualifying debit card transactions. "Monthly Qualification Cycle" means a period beginning the first day of the current statement cycle through the close of the current statement cycle. The advertised Ultimate Cash APY is based on compounding interest. Dividend earned in Ultimate Cash is automatically transferred to Ultimate Saver each statement cycle and does not compound. Actual dividend amount paid may be less than advertised Ultimate Cash APY. The Ultimate Saver APYs may be less than Ultimate Cash APYs. Limit one account per SSN. ATM receipt must be presented for reimbursement of an individual ATM fee of $5.00 or higher.
