You will receive the bonus interest rate of 4.00% for six months on balances of $25,000 and above. This will return an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of up to 3.57%, depending on balance tier. The APY is a blended APY based on the 4.00% bonus interest rate for six months and the standard interest rate for the remaining six months.

To earn the rate listed, you must have balances of $25,000 and above. Balances $0.01 to $24,999.99 do not earn this bonus rate. These balance tiers earn standard variable rates as shown below. The bonus interest rate is accrued on the entire daily ending collected account balance (including paid accrued interest). On days when the account balance is under $25,000, the entire account balance will earn the then current standard variable interest rate and APY. The following balance tiers and standard APYs are accurate as of 8/2/24. Under $1,000: 0.00% APY; $1,000-$4,999.99: 0.65% APY; $5,000-$24,999.99: 1.10% APY; $25,000-$49,999.99: 1.80% APY; $50,000-$249,999.99: 2.55% APY; $250,000 and above: 3.05% APY. The account will not earn interest on days when the account does not have a positive balance. Interest rates are determined at the bank’s discretion and may change at any time. Interest will be compounded daily and credited to your account monthly at the end of the statement cycle. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Other restrictions may apply. After the promotional period, the account will earn the standard rates for an Optimal Money Market account. Standard rates may change at any time. Interest earned will be reported to the IRS. Accrued interest will be paid if the entire balance of the closed account is transferred to a new First American Bank account. ©2024 First American Bank. Rev. 9/24. Member FDIC
