¹APY is annual percentage yield. Simple+ Checking is a tiered rate checking account. Dividend rates and annual percentage yields for Simple+ Checking are stated in Piedmont Advantage Credit Union’s Truth-In-Savings Disclosure (“TISD”). Minimum to open checking account is $25. Minimum account balance of $100 required to earn the dividends and annual percentage yields stated in the TISD. If minimum qualification requirements are met during a monthly qualification cycle, the first dividend rate and annual percentage yield stated in the TISD will apply up to the first $20,000 of your account balance, and the second dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed in the TISD will apply to any remainder of your account balance. To meet minimum qualification requirements for a monthly qualification cycle, you must: 1) make 15 debit card purchases that post and settle your account; 2) be enrolled to receive e-statements; and 3) have one direct deposit of $100 or more settled to your account. The monthly qualification cycle is defined as a calendar month. If minimum balance requirements are met but you do not meet all of the minimum qualification requirements during a monthly qualification cycle, the third dividend rate and annual percentage yield listed in the TISD will apply to your entire account balance. As of 1/2/2025, the TISD states the following annual percentage yields for Simple+ Checking: First annual percentage yield, 1.75%; second annual percentage yield, 0.25%; and third annual percentage yield, 0.01%.
