1 Foreign ATM fees charged by non-OCCU and non-CO-OP financial institutions for the use of their ATMs will be automatically credited back to your account by OCCU at the end of the statement cycle. This credit is subject to meeting the Qualifying Factors. Statement cycle = first day of the calendar month to the last day of the calendar month. Example – May 1 – May 31.
21.35% annual percentage yield offered on Remarkable Checking applies to the first $20,000 and .20% APY on balances greater than $20,000 subject to the following qualifying factors (the “Qualifying Factors”) being met during each statement cycle: i) 12 debit card transactions must clear through your account during the cycle; ii) one direct deposit or other ACH credit or withdrawal must clear through your account during the cycle; iii) one login to Internet Banking or MyOCCU Mobile during the cycle; and iv) maintain active enrollment in eStatements during the cycle. If one or more of the Qualifying Factors are not met, you will receive default interest of .05% APY for that statement cycle. APYs effective 11/1/2018 and subject to change at any time. Fees could reduce earnings.
3If balance falls below $300 at any one time during the month, there will be a $5 Account Service fee.
