¤The Interest Rates quoted and corresponding Annual Percentage Yields (“APY”) are those which were in effect on the day the Account was opened or an inquiry was made. The applicable Interest Rate applies to the entire balance in the Account. Rates are guaranteed only to the extent specified in this Personal Checking Account Fees and Disclosures.

Current Interest Rate information may be obtained by contacting Laurel Road customer service at 1-833-427-2265, or writing Laurel Road

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 365 days. 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.
