Eligibility for an interest rate bump: A U.S. Bank Smartly Savings account may qualify for an interest rate bump if at least one account holder maintains a valid and in-good-standing eligible product. Accounts without an associated eligible product will not receive an interest rate bump. One of the following eligible and in-good-standing products must be maintained:
- U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking
- Safe Debit account
- U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card
Eligible products for inclusion in your Combined Qualifying Balance (CQB): The interest rate bump will vary based on CQB. The following products offered by U.S. Bank and its affiliates are eligible for inclusion in your CQB:
- All consumer checking, money market, savings, Certificate of Deposits (CDs), and/or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
- Personal Trust accounts
- U.S. Bancorp Advisors brokerage accounts
Note: Business and commercial products are not eligible for inclusion.
Qualified balances: Funds deposited in an eligible product where you maintain ownership interest are considered towards your CQB.
- Examples of eligible relationship types, include, but are not limited to: Individual owner, joint owner, principal non-signer.
Non-Qualified balances: Funds deposited without an ownership interest do not count towards your CQB.
- Examples of ineligible relationship types, include, but are not limited to: Trustee (IFI), Grantor (GRT), all Irrevocable Trust roles, Payable on Death, Representative Payee, Guardian.
Your CQB calculation: U.S. Bank conducts two types of CQB calculations for each customer.
- The first is the Daily CQB, which is calculated by summing the end-of-day balances held in qualified U.S. Bank products.
- The second is the Average CQB, which is calculated by averaging your Daily CQB’s from the most recent prior days, beginning with the opening date of your first eligible product and up to a maximum of 90 calendar days.
For jointly owned U.S. Bank Smartly Savings accounts, each owner’s qualifying balances will be reviewed. The interest rate bump and balance range information will be visible to all owners on the joint account.
Determination of your Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier: After the eligible product verification is completed, on the next business day we will determine your Smartly Interest Rate Bump Tier. Your tier is established based on the higher value between your Daily CQB or your Average CQB. Once assigned, your tier will remain in place and will not be downgraded for the remainder of the calendar month. However, upgrades to your tier may occur at any time during the month. The assignment of your initial tier, as well as any daily or monthly upgrades or downgrades, typically takes effect within five business days.
For individually owned U.S. Bank Smartly Savings accounts, the tier is determined by the individual owner's tier. For jointly owned U.S. Bank Smartly Savings accounts, the account tier is set according to the highest tier held by any account owner. All account holders will be able to view the designated account tier. If you have multiple U.S. Bank Smartly Savings accounts, the applicable tier on each account may vary depending on its ownership structure.
Determination of account interest rate and accruals: The total interest rate applied to the eligible U.S. Bank Smartly Savings account balance is calculated by adding the interest rate bump to the standard interest rate. For existing clients, to review your personalized interest rate and potential rate bumps, please log in to Online Banking or the Mobile App, or contact a banker directly. You can also select Products & Offers to access your personalized rate. If a U.S. Bank Smartly Savings account is closed, interest will no longer accrue, and any previously accrued interest will not be disbursed. Should the required qualifying eligible products (U.S. Bank Smartly Checking, Safe Debit account or a U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card) be closed while the U.S. Bank Smartly Savings account remains active, the interest rate bump eligibility may be immediately discontinued. Additionally, any changes to the ownership structure of the U.S. Bank Smartly Savings account may result in immediate termination of the interest rate bump.
Balance and interest information:
You must maintain the minimum balance needed for each tier in order to earn the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) disclosed. All rates and APYs are subject to change after the account is opened. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Interest rates currently offered on applicable deposit accounts are determined at the bank's discretion and may change at any time. The daily balance is the balance at the end of each business day, equal to the beginning balance for that day plus the current business day credits, minus the current business day debits. Business days are Monday through Friday; federal holidays are not included. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on all deposit accounts. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest on your check deposit begins to accrue on the business day we receive credit for your applicable deposit accounts. Interest will be compounded daily and credited to your account monthly for all savings accounts, except Standard Savings, which is paid quarterly. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
