  • No minimum deposit required
  • Savings rate of 2.02% APY on any amount
  • Interest begins accruing on first business day after deposit and is credited quarterly
  • Savings rate is subject to change at any time
  • Withdrawals before 18th birthday are subject to a penalty equal to six months interest
