Reward Information:

When Rewards Checking qualifications are met during a Monthly Qualification Cycle, you will receive a reward of $8.00 per Statement Cycle.

When your Rewards Checking account qualifications are not met, no reward payments are made and ATM withdrawal fees are not refunded.

Reward payments and nationwide ATM withdrawal fee reimbursements will be credited to your Rewards Checking account on the last day of the current statement cycle.
