The interest rates and APYs for the Bank Smartly® Savings account are variable, determined at the bank’s discretion, and can change at any time.
Eligibility for an interest rate bump: The interest rate bump is applicable for U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings when at least one account owner maintains an open and in good standing eligible product (Bank Smartly® Checking or Safe Debit account). Bank Smartly® Savings accounts without an eligible product will earn the standard variable interest rate shown above. Smart Rewards® enrollment is not required to qualify for this benefit. The interest rate bump is determined by the combined qualifying balances, as shown above.
How is the combined qualifying balance calculated: Consumer deposits, U.S. Bancorp Investments* and personal trust** accounts, where the account is open and you are an account owner, are included in the combined qualifying balance. Note: Balances in business accounts, commercial accounts, and the Trustee only (IFI)*** client relationship do not qualify.
The Combined Qualifying Balance is calculated separately for each account owner monthly. For Bank Smartly® Savings accounts with multiple owners, the owner with the highest combined qualifying balance will be used to determine the interest rate bump balance range. First, the average monthly balance for each qualifying account is calculated separately by adding together the end of day ledger balance for every day in the month and dividing the total by the number of calendar days in that month (or days since account opening within that month). Next, for each month, the average monthly balances for every qualifying account are added together. The Combined Qualifying Balance used to determine the bump interest rate is calculated by adding together the monthly totals for the previous three months and dividing by three (or the number of months available if less than three).
How is the interest rate bump determined: The initial interest rate bump will be determined by the combined qualifying balance the business day after the Bank Smartly® Savings account is opened and the eligible product verification is completed. The interest rate bump is added to the standard interest rate to calculate the interest rate applied to the entire account balance in the eligible Bank Smartly® Savings account generally within five business days from account opening. The initial interest rate bump will be valid until the next monthly balance review on the first calendar day of each month. The interest rate bump will be adjusted monthly for any changes in qualifying balances and will be valid through the following calendar month. If the Bank Smartly® Savings account is closed, the interest rate bump will cease immediately. If the required eligible product (Bank Smartly® Checking or Safe Debit account) is closed but the Bank Smartly® Savings account remains open, the interest rate bump will remain valid until the end of the calendar month.
