⁵Savings Plus Bonus Rate Offer: This offer is subject to change without notice. Wellby has the right to cancel or change this promotion at any time. Learn more.

^**APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APY is accurate as of 1/2/2024. The APY is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. Dividend rates and APY for a Savings Plus account are variable and can change at any time. The NCUA insures individual accounts up to $250,000.

To qualify for the bonus rate, you must have an active checking account and have direct deposits of at least $300.00 per month; registering for and accessing online banking at least once every three (3) months, and one of the following: eight (8) or more posted debit card transactions or posted debit card payments of a bill from your Wellby checking account per month; eight (8) or more posted credit card transactions from your Wellby credit card account per month; or $40,000 or more in lending balances (does not include credit cards). If the checking account no longer qualifies as active, you will receive the regular posted rate for your savings balance tier. A savings account with a starting balance of $1,000 and a monthly deposit of $300.00 for 12 months at a bonus rate of 2.02% APY will earn $59.16. Fees could reduce earnings on the account.

A Primary Savings account is required for new members, which includes membership share and has a minimum balance of $5 to open the account.

⁶Overdraft Protection Options: Wellby offers our members three options within our Overdraft Services Program to help pay overdrafts when they occur and prevent the decline and return of certain transactions: Wellby Overdraft Protection, Wellby Overdraft Steward, and Wellby Overdraft Steward with Debit Card Coverage.

Overdraft Protection is an optional service that allows you to link a Wellby savings account or a line of credit as a backup in case of accidental overdrafts occur. When an overdraft occurs on your checking account, the exact amount needed to prevent the overdraft is transferred from your linked account with no additional transfer fee, ensuring enough funds are available. Overdraft Protection covers all transactions, including ACH, checks. We will not authorize and pay overdrafts for Point-of-Sale (POS) Debit Card transactions, ATM withdrawals, over-the-counter withdrawals, and internal transfers initiated through online and telephone banking. There is no charge for your coverage; however, if you are not enrolled or if Wellby returns ACH or checks as unpaid, you will receive a $25.00 Insufficient Funds (NSF) fee. You will have forty-five (45) days to re-pay any overdrawn balance.

Wellby Overdraft Steward is an optional service that will cover checks and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions (e.g., transactions using Wellby Bill Pay, recurring payments such as phone bills, mortgages or utility bills set up using your account and routing number) for a fee of when there is not a sufficient available balance in your eligible Wellby checking accounts up to a certain limit amount, for which you must meet certain criteria. We will not authorize and pay overdrafts for ATM withdrawals, over-the-counter withdrawals, and internal transfers initiated through online banking and telebanking and may not authorize and pay overdrafts for Point-of-Sale (POS) Debit Card transactions. You must enroll in the Overdraft Steward Debit Card Coverage to authorize payment of overdrafts for POS Debit Card Transactions. We will charge a fee of $25.00 each time we pay a transaction using the Overdraft Steward coverage. If you are not opted-in to the Overdraft Steward service and Wellby returns ACH or check items as unpaid, you will receive a $25.00 Insufficient Funds fee. You will have forty-five (45) days to re-pay any overdrawn balance.
