Bank Smartly Savings accounts start with a competitive standard interest rate. Then, when you have a Bank Smartly Checking account, Safe Debit account or Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® card, you can enjoy relationship rates. Relationship rates are calculated by adding a variable interest rate bump to your standard interest rate. The rate bump will vary based on your Combined Qualifying Balances (CQB).
The following products offered by U.S. Bank and, its affiliates, are eligible for inclusion in your CQB:
Note: Business and commercial products are never eligible.
Qualified Balance: Funds on deposit in an eligible product where you have ownership interest are counted towards your CQB.
Conversely, funds on deposit in an eligible product that do not grant ownership interest, are not counted towards your CQB.
The interest rate determines how much the bank will pay you. On the other hand, the APY or Annual Percentage Yield takes into account the compounding interest on your deposit to give you a clearer picture of how much you’ll earn in a year.
Typically, the interest rates for savings accounts are variable and determined at the bank’s discretion. This means they can change at any time and are often adjusted based on a variety of factors, including market conditions. For example, when the Federal Reserve adjusts interest rates, your savings account rate may change. Bank Smartly Savings accounts feature variable rates that also adjust based on your total relationship balances giving you the flexibility to manage your money wisely.
Depending on the bank, a high-yield savings account may be covered by FDIC insurance. These savings accounts are less risky than stocks, bonds, ETFs and other market-sensitive investments. As with all U.S. Bank checking and savings accounts, the money in our high-yield savings accounts is insured by the FDIC up to the maximum-allowable $250,000. The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, for each deposit insurance ownership category.11
The national average savings account interest rate is calculated across a range of standard and high-yield accounts. Standard rates can start as low as a fraction of a percent, while high-yield accounts can soar to 10x that amount. Bank Smartly Savings accounts feature high-yield savings rates that grow as your combined qualifying balances grow when you also have a Bank Smartly Checking account, Safe Debit account or Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® card.
