1Dividends are calculated based on the average daily balance in the account. If requirements are met, a higher rate will be paid for the first $25,000 and a lower rate will be paid for any amounts over $25,000. If requirements are not met, your dividend rate on your entire balance will be the lower rate.
To earn the higher dividend rate, members must meet the following requirements:
- Must be enrolled in eDocuments
- Must have ACH direct deposit(s) totaling over $300 in the 34 calendar days preceding the last day of the month. Income earned through self-employment or working an IRS classified “Gig Economy” job does not qualify as direct deposit.
- Must have 15 net PIN or signature point-of-sale debit card transactions over $5 in the 34 calendar days preceding the last day of the month. The net is calculated by counting the number of PIN and signature point-of-sale debit purchase transactions over $5 and subtracting any PIN or signature point-of-sale debit return transactions processed during that period.
Debit cards tied to this account are not eligible for Wings Member Rewards.

In the case that an overdraft occurs, a transfer takes place once per day to bring the checking account to a positive balance. Overdraft Protection is automatically set up from your Share Savings account. You can also add a line of credit, another checking account, Money Manager, and/or additional savings accounts, up to a total of four accounts, as Overdraft Protection.
In addition, Overdraft Protection Plus offers an extra layer of protection in the case that Overdraft Protection is insufficient for your needs. (Opt-in required. A fee will apply if this service is used. ODP+ Agreement and Disclosure.)

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.
