Except for fixed-rate certificates of deposit, which earn the same interest rate through maturity, the interest rate and annual percentage yield ("APY") on deposits may change at any time and fees may reduce earnings. Information on current interest rates and APYs can be found by visiting etrade.com/ratesheet. The interest rate and the corresponding APY for all individual or trust deposits more than $10,000,000 and all commercial deposits more than $99,000 are subject to negotiation by the parties. Calculation method We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on accounts. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks). If a minimum average balance is required to avoid a fee, the average balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period, and dividing that figure by the number of days in that period. Tiered-rate accounts On tiered-rate accounts, we apply the interest rate for the balance tier of your end-of-day balance against the entire balance of your account. Different rates may apply to different tiers. This schedule will assist you in comparing the terms of our deposit products. They are part of our Account Agreement with you.Competitive yields
