Eligibility for an interest rate bump: An interest rate bump is applied to a U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account when at least one account holder maintains a valid and in-good-standing eligible product. U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings accounts without a qualified and eligible associated denoted product will not receive an interest rate bump. The interest rate bump will vary based on Combined Qualifying Balances (CQB). 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
What eligible products are included in your CQB: The following products offered by U.S. Bank and its affiliates are eligible for inclusion in your CQB:
- Consumer checking, money market, savings, Certificate of Deposits (CDs), and/or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
- Personal Trust accounts
- U.S. Bancorp Investments accounts
- U.S. Bancorp Advisors brokerage accounts
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.
- Examples of eligible customer to account relationship types, include, but are not limited to: Individual owner, joint owner, primary non-signer.
Conversely, funds on deposit in an eligible product that do not grant ownership interest, are not counted towards your CQB.
- Examples of ineligible customer to account relationship types, include, but are not limited to: Trustee (IFI), Grantor (GRT), all Irrevocable Trust roles, Payable on Death, Representative Payee, Guardian.
How is your CQB calculated: For jointly owned U.S. Bank Smartly Savings accounts, each owner’s qualifying balances will be reviewed. If applicable, the owner with the highest CQB will be used to determine the Smartly Interest Rate Bump Tier. The interest rate bump and balance range information will be visible to all owners on the joint account. There are two CQB calculations completed for every customer.
- Monthly – Upon the opening of your first account, and thereafter at the beginning of each calendar month, your historical average CQB is calculated by summing all available previous days qualified balances and dividing by the number of days since the first eligible product was opened (90 calendar day maximum).
- Daily – Each day your CQB is calculated by totaling your end of day qualified balance on deposit in an eligible product.
How is your Smartly Interest Rate Bump Tier determined: After the eligible product verification is completed, on the next business day we will determine your Smartly Interest Rate Bump Tier. Your tier is based on the better of your daily or monthly CQB calculation. Once a tier has been assigned to you, it will not be downgraded for the remainder of that calendar month. However, at any point during a calendar month, you may receive a tier upgrade based upon your daily CQB. Assignment of an initial tier, monthly tier upgrade or downgrade, and/or daily tier upgrades generally are applied within five business days. For your individual accounts, your interest rate bump tier will be your tier (as described above). For joint accounts, the tier is assigned the highest tier associated with any account owner, if applicable. From there, within five business days, the interest rate bump is added to the standard interest rate to calculate the interest rate that will be applied to the entire account balance in the eligible U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account. If the U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account is closed, the interest rate bump will cease immediately, and accrued interest will not be paid. If the required eligible product (U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking, Safe Debit account or a U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card) is closed but the U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account remains open, eligibility to receive an interest rate bump will remain valid until the end of the calendar month. Changes in the ownership structure of your U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account or the required eligible product may result in immediate loss 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 daily. 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.
