*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 Monthly Qualification Cycle goes from the last day of the month to the next to last day of the next month. See our website for specific Monthly Qualification Cycle dates.

Reward Information: When your Kasasa Cash account qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, daily balances up to and including $15,000 in your Kasasa Cash account earn a dividend rate of 4.88% resulting in an APY of 5.00% and daily balances over $15,000 earn a dividend rate of 0.25% on the portion of the daily balance over $15,000, resulting in a range from 0.87% to 5.00% APY depending on the account’s daily balance.

You will receive reimbursements up to an aggregate total of $25 for nationwide ATM withdrawal fees incurred within your Kasasa Cash 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. If you have not received an appropriate reimbursement, we will adjust the reimbursement amount if we receive the transaction receipt within sixty (60) calendar days of the withdrawal transaction.

When your Kasasa Cash qualifications are not met, the dividend rate earned on the account’s entire daily balance will be 0.05% resulting in an annual percentage yield of 0.05% and ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded.

Dividends and ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will be credited to your Kasasa Cash account on the last day of the current statement cycle.

APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APYs accurate as of 4/1/2023.

Additional Information: Rates and rewards are variable and may change after account is opened. No minimum balance is required to earn or receive the account’s rewards. Rewards less than a penny cannot be distributed. $25 minimum deposit is required to open the account. Limit one account per Social Security Number. There are no recurring monthly maintenance charges or fees to open or close this account. Kasasa and Kasasa Cash are trademarks of Kasasa, Ltd., registered in the U.S.A.
