Withdrawals can be made from Savings Pods to your Current Account.

I. Boost Calculation Information

The funds you receive pursuant to Boost (the “Boost Bonus”) is calculated as a percentage of your eligible Savings Pod balance; however, Boost is not a savings account product, nor is it interest paid by a financial institution. The Boost Bonus you receive is calculated as a variable rate and is based on the credited balance of customer deposits into Savings Pods. We may, at our discretion, change the Boost Bonus rate for Savings Pods at any time, including by offering promotional Boost Bonus rates to some, but not all, eligible customers. Boost Bonus calculations begin to accrue no later than the business day the deposit is applied to the Savings Pod where the feature has been enabled.

Generally, Boost Bonuses will be compounded daily and credited (where it will become “earned”) to the Savings Pod where the feature has been enabled on a daily basis. You will only be able to earn a Boost Bonus on any portion of your eligible Savings Pod balance up to $2000.00, per qualifying eligible Savings Pod. Any amount deposited by a customer in a Savings Pod beyond $2,000.00 will not earn Boost Bonuses. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal and Boost that has been accrued to the Savings Pod each day. The daily periodic rate is calculated by dividing the Boost rate by three hundred sixty-five (365) days.

All users who opt-in to Boost will receive the Boost base rate of 0.25%. In order for a user to earn the Boost rate of 4.00%, the sum of your Eligible Payroll Deposits over a rolling 35-day period must be $500 or more, with at least one Eligible Payroll Deposit equaling a minimum of $200. Eligible Payroll Deposits means recurring deposits of your wages or compensation from sources such as your employer, payroll provider or government payer, including where you are acting as an independent contractor, of an amount and frequency determined by Current in its sole discretion. Certain deposits do not qualify as Eligible Payroll Deposits for the Boost rate of 4.00%, including non-direct deposit ACH transfers, inter- or intra-bank peer-to-peer transfers, transfers made to debit cards from digital wallets or P2P services (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Google Pay, Facebook Pay, or other similar services), mobile check deposits, and cash deposits. If 35 days lapse without a qualifying Eligible Payroll Deposit being posted to a user’s account, the user will revert to the Boost base rate of 0.25% within five (5) days after the aforementioned 35-day lapse period. The user can reclaim the Boost rate of 4.00% by receiving and maintaining qualifying Eligible Payroll Deposits as described above. A user’s Boost rate will be automatically adjusted based on the above criteria within 48 hours of receiving and maintaining the qualifying Eligible Payroll Deposits and on a daily basis thereafter, provided that the Savings Pod has accrued a Boost Bonus of at least $0.01.

When you withdraw funds from your Savings Pod, the amount available for withdrawal is limited to the available balance of the Savings Pod inclusive of Boost, which may be what was earned through the previous calendar day to the withdrawal request. You will forfeit any Boost Bonus if your Account is closed before the Boost Bonus is credited.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Boost Bonus refers to the daily payments from Current calculated in accordance with the terms above. Current is not a bank and Boost is not an annual percentage yield product as defined under the regulations or a savings account and is solely an obligation of Current. Boost is a promotional bonus and can be discontinued, restricted, or modified at any time.

Boost will be reported on IRS Form 1099-MISC (or Form 1042-S, if applicable). If your Account is closed for any reason within six months after enrollment, we will deduct Boost Bonus amounts at closing. To remain enrolled in Boost, your Account must remain open and in good standing and you must continue to satisfy the obligations of these Terms.
