The annual percentage yield for balances $25,000 and over ranges from 3.56% APY to 2.96% APY (based on assumed range of balances from $25,000.00 to $30,000.00). Should you fail to meet the monthly qualifying conditions for the Performance rate, all balances in the account for that month will earn 0.05% APY.
