Reward Yourself, It's Simple!
Posted on January 15, 2017 at 6:36 PM by State Savings Bank
Checking accounts are designed with daily use in mind. They can accumulate dozens of transactions per day. Since most consumers have a nonstop relationship with their checking account, some banks offer reward checking accounts for customers who want to earn higher interest. Typically a reward checking account pays significantly higher interest than a traditional account if you meet a list of requirements. Often there is a maximum balance amount that can earn the high rate with balances over the stated maximum earning a lesser rate.
You may already have one, but have you given much thought to comparing them to learn if yours is the best one for you? We encourage you to compare yours with ours. With our Rewards Checking Account, customers earn high interest on balances up to $20,000. You can find all the details here. Shop around and compare minimum balances, the requirements necessary to earn higher interest, the maximum balance that earns the high interest rate and the APY and you'll see that State Savings Bank's Reward Checking account rates among the best in Iowa. And if you've never had one, do the math and you'll be surprised at the difference high interest makes.
The requirements to qualify for our Rewards Checking Account are simple:
- 15 or more debit card purchases.
- 5 or more ACH debits (automatic debits) OR 5 or more Bill Pay transactions OR 1 or more State Savings Bank automatic loan payments to State Savings Bank loans.
- 1 or more direct deposits such as payroll, social security, or disability income deposit.
**If the following minimum transactions do not post and settle to your account during a monthly statement cycle, the interest rate paid on the entire balance in your account will be 0.00% with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.00%:
You earn high interest doing what you already do with no minimum to open the account or minimum balance to maintain. If you don’t make the requirements each month, you won’t get stuck with penalty fees chipping away at your account. Instead, we provide a detailed breakdown on your statement showing you where you missed a requirement and how much interest you would have earned if you had met the requirements, as a nice reminder.
