Rate tiers
Every balance band in the bank's feed: base is the rate the bank pays.
| Balance | Base |
|---|---|
| $0 – $1,999.99stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 0.55% |
| $2,000 – $46,601stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 1.40% |
| $46,601.01+stepped: paid on the part of the balance in this band | 1.90% |
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.
