Yield Pledge accounts guarantee top rates plus:
- No monthly maintenance fees

No more hopping from bank to bank. You can rest easy because we automatically adjust our rates so your yield stays in the top 5% of Competitive Accounts.1
There is no fee or enrollment required for our Yield Pledge promise. It’s automatically included with each Yield Pledge account.
No, the Yield Pledge promise applies to all balances within Yield Pledge accounts.
“Competitive Accounts” are similar accounts from the 10 largest banks and thrifts in 10 large U.S. banking markets. Each week, Bankrate compiles these institutions’ rates and distributes its results to certain institutions on a paid-for basis.
You automatically qualify for the 1-year intro Annual Percentage Yield (APY) when you open your first Yield Pledge Online Savings or Money Market account.
Balances up to $250,000 in a Yield Pledge Online Savings or Money Market account earn a fixed 1-year intro APY. Balances over $250,000 receive a blended APY based on the fixed 1-year intro APY applicable to balances up to $250K and the variable ongoing APY associated with the highest balance tier for the account.
When the 1-year intro Annual Percentage Yield (APY) expires, you’ll earn our current ongoing APYs based on your balance. All ongoing APYs are backed by our Yield Pledge promise to keep your yield in the top 5% of Competitive Accounts across the country.1
Information to keep in mind
We promise that the yield on your Yield Pledge® Checking, Money Market and/or Online Savings Account will stay in the Top 5% of Competitive Accounts based on the Bankrate Monitor National Index survey data from the last week of each month. "Competitive Accounts" are similar accounts from the 10 largest banks and thrifts in 10 large U.S. banking markets. This includes data from the 5 largest banks and 5 largest thrifts in each market for which rates are available, except in markets without 5 banks and 5 thrifts. Each week Bankrate surveys these institutions and distributes its results to certain institutions on a paid-for basis. Not all institutions report each week. We reserve the right to change, at any time and without prior notice to you, our Yield Pledge calculation method as necessary to accommodate changes in Bankrate's survey and/or its distribution methodology, including, without limitation, by switching to a different, comparable methodology that may not be based on information from Bankrate.
