An interest-bearing deposit account, such as savings, checking, or money market account, offers several benefits. It allows your money to grow over time as the account earns interest. This can help you build savings and reach your financial goals faster. Moreover, an interest-bearing account provides a safe place to store your money while still having easy access to it when needed. Some interest-bearing accounts may offer higher interest rates than others, allowing you to maximize your earnings. It's important to consider any fees or restrictions, and choose an account that aligns with your financial needs and goals.
Savings and checking accounts serve different purposes, and each has its advantages. A savings account is designed for long-term savings and those with higher interest rates can help your money grow over time. It's ideal for emergency funds or saving for specific goals. On the other hand, a checking account provides easy access to your funds for daily transactions, bill payments, and ATM withdrawals. With an interest-bearing checking account, you can earn money from the cash you deposit. To effectively manage your finances, it's recommended to have both types of accounts. Keep a sufficient balance in your checking account for everyday expenses and use a savings account to accumulate savings and earn interest.

*Up to $10/month. A maximum of $10.00 cash back payments may be earned per Monthly Qualification Cycle. You will receive reimbursements up to an aggregate total of $20.00 for nationwide ATM withdrawal fees incurred within your Kasasa Cash Back account during that Monthly Qualification Cycle. We reimburse ATM withdrawal fees based on estimates when the withdrawal information we receive does not identify the ATM withdrawal fee. We will reimburse ATM surcharges in excess of $4.99 per transaction upon presentment of the receipt displaying the ATM surcharge within sixty (60) days of the ATM transaction, and as long as it does not exceed the $20.00 maximum limit. Qualification Information: Account transactions and activities may take one or more days to post and settle to the account and all must do so during the Monthly Qualification Cycle in order to qualify for the account's rewards. The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our credit union as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions and purchases made with debit or credit cards not issued by our credit union. Transactions bundled together by merchants and received by our institution as a single transaction count as a single transaction for the purpose of earning account rewards.

When your Kasasa Cash Back account qualifications are not met, no cash back payments are made and ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded. At the discretion of the Credit Union, if your Kasasa Cash Back Account does not meet the qualifications for three (3) consecutive months, the account will be converted to a regular Share Draft Account after the last calendar day of the third month if the qualifications for the third month are not met. Once your Kasasa Cash Back account is converted, it is subject to the terms and conditions in effect for the regular Share Draft Account. Cash back payments and nationwide ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will be credited to your Kasasa Cash Back account on the last day of the current statement cycle. Rates, rewards, and bonuses, if any, are variable and may change after account is opened without notice to you, as determined by the Credit Union Board of Directors.
