Is a High-Yield Checking account eligible for Wings Member Rewards?
The High Yield Checking account is not eligible for Wings Members Rewards. If you are currently enrolled in Wings Member Rewards, all points must be used before your account is retitled.
This applies to members who use rewards for the debit card only. Reward points will not be affected if you also have a Wings Member Rewards Visa credit card.
How often are dividends paid on my High-Yield Checking account?
Dividends are paid monthly (for example: January 1 – January 31).
Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day of deposit. Dividends are calculated by the average daily balance method which applies a periodic rate to the average daily balance in the account for the period. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the balance in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period.
Will I be notified if I am at risk of not meeting the monthly requirements for my High-Yield Checking account?
Yes, you will receive an alert email detailing if you have met any of the requirements and also what requirements you need to complete before the end of the month.
