The fine print
*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rate may change after account is opened. The APY is accurate as of the last dividend declaration date. To qualify for 3% APY on balances up to $25,000 and receive unlimited non-Credit Union of Georgia ATM refunds, the following monthly requirements must be met. Members must be 18 years old, have a monthly direct deposit, maintain a minimum average daily balance of $2,500, and have 15 or more debit card transactions totaling $500. Early direct deposit up to two days early is dependent on direct deposit submitted by payer. All Credit Union programs, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice. **Members with a Free Youth Checking account can opt-in to enroll in Mobile Check Deposit with parental consent.
