  • What is APY?

    APY, or Annual Percentage Yield, is the total amount you can earn on your savings in a year. Generally, the yield is determined by the rate offered and the frequency of compounding, assuming funds are kept steady over the year.


  • How much can I earn with Current?

    You can earn 4.00% APY on your Savings Pods as long as you receive qualifying direct deposits of $200 or more. That means up to $240 in savings per year. Don’t have a qualifying direct deposit? No worries. You’ll still earn 0.25% APY on your savings.

However, in order to qualify for 4.00% APY, you must receive qualifying direct deposits of $200 or more a month.

    3. 3. Turn on Round-Ups to automatically transfer spare change to your Pods


  • How do Round-Ups work?

    Round-Ups bring you closer to your savings goals by rounding your debit card purchase to the nearest dollar and then sending the spare change straight to your Savings Pods.


  • Is there a maximum balance that earns APY?

    Yes. You’ll only be able to earn APY on the first $2000 in each Pod. Since you have access to 3 Savings Pods this means that at maximum, you can earn APY on up to $6000. All remaining Savings Pods balances above $6000 earn 0.00% APY.
