APY= Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are subject to change without notice. All dividends are compounded and paid monthly. Share and Spending Accounts have a variable rate.

*The Companion Savings account is linked to a Certificate. Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. Once a Certificate is opened, the rate remains fixed through maturity and early withdrawal penalties apply and may reduce earnings.

**High Yield Spending Account interest is determined on the last day of each preceding month. If all requirements are met by month-end, then the interest will be paid at the current Qualified Rates up to $50,000 and > $50,000 on the average daily balances on the last day of the following month based on the average daily balance of the account for that month. If the requirements are not met by the last day of the preceding month, then the interest will be paid at the current Non-Qualified Rate on the last day of the following month based on the average daily balance of the account for that month. Limit one High Yield Spending Account per primary member. Monthly Requirements to earn the Qualified Rate: (a) receive at least $5,000 in combined payroll direct deposits in the member’s Stanford FCU accounts, and (b) spend a minimum $1,000 on the member’s combined Stanford FCU debit and credit cards with the same primary account owner as the High Yield Spending Account. Payroll direct deposit is defined as recurring ACH payments from your employer or the Social Security Administration. Other deposits such as checks, transfers, Venmo, Zelle® and PayPal do not qualify. Deposits and purchases must post by the last day of each month to qualify. Grace period: During the first two months of opening a new High Yield Spending Account the interest will be earned at the current Qualified Rate, and the account requirements at the end of the second month will be used to determine the rate paid on balances in the third month. Existing spending accounts that convert to a High Yield Spending Account will not have a grace period.
