Laurel Road Linked Checking offers you the ability to receive a discount off your Laurel Road student loan refinance, while Laurel Road Loyalty Checking offers you a monthly cash reward – both with qualifying direct deposits. Both share many of the same online checking benefits and features, such as access to over 40,000 no-fee ATMs nationwide,* $0 to open the account, $0 maintenance fee, free debit card and paper checks, mobile and online banking, and much more.
Unlike other checking accounts that simply pay minimal interest rate on your balance, a Laurel Road Loyalty Checking account pays you simply for depositing your paychecks (or other qualifying direct deposits) into your account each month. For example, if you have a checking account that pays 1% APY, you will only earn $100 in interest if you have $10,000 in your account for an entire year. But with our Loyalty Checking, you can earn up to $540 in the first year and $120 every year after for the life of the checking account. Click here for more information.
To earn monthly rewards, you must make qualifying ACH deposits into your Laurel Road Loyalty Checking account totaling at least $2,500 during the statement period. Qualifying ACH direct deposit transactions include most payroll, Social Security, pension and government benefits deposits. Rewards will be deposited into your Laurel Road Loyalty Checking account in the statement period after they are earned.

This Account pays interest at a variable interest rate and rates may vary based on the balance in your Account. We may change the interest rate and APY at our discretion and as often as daily. There are no limits on the amount that the interest rate or APY may change.
The Daily Balance is the balance in your Account each day. We use the Daily Balance method to compute interest on Accounts. This method applies a daily percentage rate to the balance in the Account each day. To determine the daily percentage rate, we divide the interest rate by the actual number of days in the year. Interest begins to accrue on non-cash items, like checks, presented to us no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit. Interest is compounded daily and credited to your Account monthly.
If you close your Account within ten business days after the last interest payment date, the accrued but not yet credited interest will not be paid. If you close your Account after the tenth business day, interest accrued up to, but not including, the day of withdrawal will be paid at closing.
