1. APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Alliant High Rate Checking Dividends are paid on the last day of each month to checking accountholders who have opted out of receiving paper statements (receive eStatements only) and have a recurring monthly electronic deposit to their Alliant checking account each month (e.g., a direct deposit, payroll deposit, ATM deposit, mobile check deposit or transfer from another financial institution). Otherwise, Alliant checking accounts do not earn a dividend.

The High Rate Checking dividend provides an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 0.25% APY. The APY is accurate as of the 08/26/2021 dividend declaration date. Checking dividend may change after account is opened and is subject to change at any time. There is no minimum balance requirement to open an Alliant checking account or to earn a dividend. Alliant checking does not have a monthly service fee; however, if incurred, fees such as a stop payment or NSF fee will apply. Please refer to the Alliant Fee Schedule at www.alliantcreditunion.com for a list of these types of fees. Fees may reduce earnings. Account is subject to approval. We may not open checking for you if you do not meet Alliant criteria.

A fee will apply if you choose to receive an account statement in paper form; refer to the Fee Schedule at www.alliantcreditunion.com/fees. To avoid the paper statement fee, log in to Alliant Online Banking at www.alliantcreditunion.com to change your statement preference to eStatements.

2. Transactions performed at other ATMs may be subject to the ATM owner’s surcharge fee. Please see the online ATM Locator at www.alliantcreditunion.com or our mobile banking app for a list of ATMs that accept deposits or are surcharge-free.

Alliant will rebate ATM fees up to $20 per month per membership account when you use your Alliant Visa Debit Card to make a deposit, withdrawal, transfer or balance inquiry. The rebate does not apply to cash advances from Alliant Visa credit cards through ATMs nor to the Alliant Savings ATM Card and Visa International Service Assessment (ISA) fee, referenced as the foreign transaction fee on account statements. Not all ATMs accept deposits.
