You'll love how easy it is to benefit from our free Great Rate Savings account by just meeting these 4 easy qualifications on your Great Rate Checking account each statement cycle:
- Make 12 check card purchases
- Access online banking
- Receive monthly eStatements
- Have one Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or ACH Direct Deposit
You only have to meet the qualifications once each statement cycle. Qualifying for the Great Rate Checking features automatically qualifies you for Great Rate Savings.
