*How APY works: Checking account customers earn 4.00% annual percentage yield (APY)on balances up to and including $3,000 in your Checking account per month when: 1) you are enrolled in a qualifying T-Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile plan; 2) you have registered for perks with your T-Mobile ID; and 3) at least 10 qualifying transactions have posted to your Checking account before the last business day of the month. Qualifying transactions posting on or after the last business day of the month count toward the next month’s qualifying transactions. The first time you fund your account, as an additional added value, you will receive 4.00% APY on balances up to and including $3,000 in the statement cycle in which you make your first deposit of greater than $1, as well as in the cycle that follows that deposit provided all other requirements are met. These added value benefits are subject to change. Balances above $3,000 in the Checking account earn 2.50% APY. The APY for this tier will range from 4.00% to 3.40% depending on the balance in the account (calculation based on a $5,000 average daily balance). Customers who do not qualify for the 4.00% APY will earn 2.50% APY on all Checking account balances for any month(s) in which they do not meet the requirements listed above. Savings account customers earn 2.50% annual percentage yield (APY) on all Savings and Shared Savings account balances per month. You must have a T‑Mobile MONEY Checking account that is in good standing and has been funded to open any type of Savings account. APYs are accurate as of 12/01/22 but may change at any time at our discretion. Fees may reduce earnings.
ATMs may be added/removed from the Allpoint network periodically. As a result, we encourage you to check the Allpoint ATM locator frequently and before visiting an ATM to determine the closest-in-network ATM. Allpoint ATMs may not be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The location, availability, and hours of operation of in-network ATMs may vary by merchant and is subject to change.
