Please refer to the U.S. Bank Safe Debit Account Terms and Conditions and the Consumer Pricing Information disclosure section titled Safe Debit Account for details.

Linking external accounts provides you with view-only access to balances and transaction details for accounts you hold at other financial institutions. The information displayed or provided as part of the external account linking service is for your informational purposes and may not reflect your most recent transactions or balances. We may also make you aware of products, services and offers that could be of interest to you. Some financial institutions may limit (or block) account linking services and we are not responsible for errors that may result from such limitations. Please see the Digital Services Agreement for the full terms of use related to linking external accounts.

In the event the Available Balance at the end of the business day is or would be overdrawn $50.01 or more and the transaction paid is $5.01 or more, an Overdraft Paid Fee may be assessed for each item. In the event the Available Balance at the end of the business day is or would be overdrawn $50.00 or less, a fee will not be assessed. U.S. Bank limits the number of charges to a daily maximum of three Overdraft Paid Fees per day, no matter how many items we pay on your behalf.

Consumer checking accounts (excluding Safe Debit accounts) assessed an Overdraft Paid Fee may qualify for a fee waiver. The Overdraft Fee Forgiven period starts the first day your Available Balance becomes negative, and you were charged an Overdraft Paid Fee(s). U.S. Bank will review your account at the end of the Overdraft Fee Forgiven period (11 p.m. ET) and if your Available Balance (excluding the Overdraft Paid Fees and including immediate and same day deposits), is at least $0 we will waive Overdraft Paid Fee(s) charged. Deposits that generally will qualify for Overdraft Fee Forgiven include ACH and electronic deposits, cash deposits, wire transfers, ATMs deposits at U.S. Bank ATMs, check deposits in branch and internal transfers from another U.S. Bank account. Deposits that generally will not qualify for Overdraft Fee Forgiven include Mobile Check Deposit, extended hold placed on a deposit and deposits into new accounts opened less than 30 days where funds are generally made available the fifth business day after the day of your deposit. Refer to the Determining the Availability of a Deposit – All Accounts section of Your Deposit Account Agreement for full funds availability detail.

Average account balance: The average account balance is calculated by adding the balance at the end of each calendar day in the statement period and dividing that sum by the total number of days within the statement period.

Qualifying accounts include U.S. Bank activated credit cards. Credit products are subject to eligibility requirements and normal credit approval and may be subject to additional charges such as annual fees.

Variable rate account: Interest rates are determined at the bank’s discretion and can change at any time. Speak to a banker for current deposit rates, disclosures on rates, compounding and crediting, and other balance information. The interest rate Lift is calculated by taking your current interest rate and multiplying it by the interest rate Lift. This gets the interest rate Lift amount, which is added on top of the current interest rate. The interest rate Lift applies to standard rates only, it is not applicable for special or promotional rates. Savings interest rate Lift applies to Standard Savings only. When changing checking account types, corresponding Non-U.S. Bank ATM transaction fee waivers will become available on the first day of the next statement cycle. ATM transaction fee waivers are only applicable for your U.S. Bank Smartly™ Checking accounts.

A minimum of $25 is required to open a U.S. Bank Smartly™ Checking account. For a comprehensive list of account pricing, terms and policies, see the Consumer Pricing Information disclosure and Your Deposit Account Agreement.

The interest rates and APYs for the U.S. Bank Smartly® Savings account are variable, determined at the bank’s discretion, and can change at any time, including after the account is opened. A minimum opening deposit of $25 is required to open.

Eligibility for an interest rate bump: The interest rate bump is applicable for Bank Smartly® Savings when at least one account owner maintains an open and in good standing eligible product (U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking, Safe Debit account or a U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card). Bank Smartly Savings accounts without an eligible product will earn the standard variable interest rate shown above. U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® enrollment is not required to qualify for this benefit. The interest rate bump is determined by the combined qualifying balances, as shown above.

What is included in the Combined Qualifying Balance: Qualifying balances include consumer or trust accounts where the account is open and you are an account owner. Note: Balances in business accounts, commercial accounts, and the Trustee only (IFI)1 , Grantor only (GRT)2 or Trustee & Grantor – Irrevocable Trust (TRG)3 client relationships do not qualify.

How is the Combined Qualifying Balance calculated: The Combined Qualifying Balance is calculated separately for each account owner monthly. For Bank Smartly Savings accounts with multiple owners, the owner with the highest Combined Qualifying Balance will be used to determine the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier. The interest rate bump and balance range information will be visible to all owners on the joint account. The Combined Qualifying Balance is determined as follows:

First, at the end of each month an average Combined Qualifying Balance is calculated. The balance is based on a 90-day average balance for all qualifying accounts and is calculated by adding together the end of day ledger combined balances for every day in the last 90 days and dividing the total by

-90 calendar days, or -the number of days since opening an initial qualified account

Next, the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier that is applied to your Bank Smartly Savings account is determined by one of two potential calculations:

  • For the initial evaluation after opening your first qualifying account and at the beginning of every calendar month thereafter, we will apply the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier based upon the average Combined Qualifying Balance (as described above)
  • In addition, we will review the Combined Qualifying Balances on a daily basis to determine whether you qualify for a higher Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier based upon the day’s Combined Qualifying Balances.

If your daily Combined Qualifying Balances qualifies you for a tier upgrade, you will be moved to the higher tier (within 5 business days). You will remain in that tier until you qualify for a higher tier based on your daily Combined Qualifying Balances, or the calculated monthly Combined Qualifying Balance qualifies you for a higher or lower tier.

The Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier will be applied to your Bank Smartly Savings account within the first 5 business days of each month or upon reaching a higher tier, which means that the tier that will be applied to your account may vary during a billing cycle.

How is the interest rate bump determined: After the first eligible Bank Smartly Savings account is opened and the eligible product verification is completed, on the next business day we will determine the initial interest rate bump based upon the average Combined Qualifying Balances (as described above). The interest rate bump is added to the standard interest rate to calculate the interest rate applied to the entire account balance in the eligible Bank Smartly Savings account generally within five business days. The interest rate bump can be adjusted up or down or remain the same (as described above). If the Bank Smartly Savings account is closed, the interest rate bump will cease immediately, and accrued interest will not be paid. If the required eligible product (Bank Smartly Checking, Safe Debit account or a U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card) is closed but the Bank Smartly Savings account remains open, the interest rate bump will remain valid until the end of the calendar month.

Balance and interest information: You must maintain the minimum balance needed for each tier in order to earn the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) disclosed. All rates and APYs are subject to change after the account is opened. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Interest rates currently offered on applicable deposit accounts are determined at the bank's discretion and may change daily. The daily balance is the balance at the end of each business day, equal to the beginning balance for that day plus the current business day credits, minus the current business day debits. Business days are Monday through Friday; federal holidays are not included. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on all deposit accounts. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest on your check deposit begins to accrue on the business day we receive credit for your applicable deposit accounts. Interest will be compounded daily and credited to your account monthly for all savings accounts, except Standard Savings, which is paid quarterly. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
