collected balance daily at the rate in effect for that balance tier. You must maintain the required minimum collected balance
for each tier in order to earn the APYs disclosed. A periodic rate is applied to the collected balance in the account daily. Interest

For every month your Savings Builder account balance grows by at least $200, we will credit the account with a $5 savings
reward within 5 calendar days after the end of the month. To calculate if your balance has grown by $200, we will compare
the Ledger Balance on the last Business Day of the previous month to the Ledger Balance on the last Business Day of the
current month. Interest and savings reward payments will not count towards your balance growth. Tip: Deposits made on
weekends and holidays will not be processed until the next business day. To ensure your deposit is counted for the current
month, avoid scheduling your recurring transfer or deposits towards the end of the month.
Your account is eligible for 12 savings rewards beginning with the month your account is opened. The first savings
reward is based on your savings growth from the Business Day the account is opened through the last Business Day
of that month. If your initial deposit is not received until the month after account opening, the account will only be
eligible for 11 savings rewards.
Your account must be open when the savings rewards are paid. Savings rewards will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes
and you are responsible for any applicable taxes.
Exclusions:
Savings rewards are available for new accounts only. An account switched into Savings Builder from a different product is
not eligible for savings rewards.
Savings rewards are limited to one Savings Builder account per customer as Primary Account Owner. Only your first account
opened is eligible for savings rewards.
