Most checking accounts pay little to no interest. However, even when compared to checking accounts that pay interest, our High-Yield Checking (HYC) dividend (interest) rate is several times1 higher than the national average.
The rate the account balance will earn is based on your net monthly debit card spend tier2. The more you use your ITCU debit card each month for everyday spending, reoccurring bill payments, memberships, subscription fees, etc., the higher tier and associated rate you'll qualify for.
If you want to earn more on your checking, take advantage of our HYC account and dividend rates that are well beyond what most other interest-bearing savings and checking accounts earn!
1Actual difference will fluctuate over time and is always subject to change. 2Actual tier attained is based on the date qualifying transactions post to your account, not the date they occur. Some transactions do not post in real time and may take multiple days to settle.
By opening a High-Yield Checking account with us, you unlock two unique features to increase the dividend rate you earn on your deposit balances!
Want to make every purchase or bill payment work for you? When you use your HYC debit card, each qualifying payment goes towards helping you reach the next spending tier. The spending tier you reach each month will determine the dividend rate for the month and will be applied to average monthly balance of the account, up to a maximum "cap" of $50,000.00.
Use our High-Yield Checking Monthly Debit Spend Calculator to help you determine what tier you might qualify for.
Please note, a monthly fee will apply if debit card spending does not reach at least Tier 1 each month; see our Fee Schedule for the monthly fee. Actual tier attained is based on the date qualifying transactions post to your account, not the date they occur. Some transactions do not post in real time and may take multiple days to settle.
