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.

Do Savings Pods have a minimum balance requirement?
No. There’s no minimum balance required to earn interest on your savings. We want to make saving accessible to everyone, so as long as you have $0.01 set aside in your Pods, you’ll begin to watch your savings grow. However, in order to qualify for 4.00% APY, you must receive qualifying direct deposits of $200 or more a month.

How do I put money in my Savings Pods?
There are three ways to add money to your Pods:
1. Transfer directly from your Spending Balance
2. Add money from an external linked account

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.
