Rate tiers
Every balance band in the bank's feed: base is the rate the bank pays.

| $10,000 – $49,999.99stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 1.85% |
| $50,000 – $99,999.99stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 2.35% |
| $100,000+stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 2.70% |
The rates are stepped: each band's rate is paid on the part of the balance that falls in it, so a balance across several bands earns a blend of them.
The feed states a maximum balance of $5,000,000.
