Kasasa Saver
What to Watch
The stated APY applies only to the portion of the balance up to $25,000. Balances above that earn a lower blended rate, which falls further as the balance grows. The rate is earned only in a monthly qualification cycle in which the linked Kasasa Cash checking account posts at least one bill pay or ACH payment, makes at least 10 debit card purchases, and is enrolled in eStatements. In a cycle when those are not met the account earns the bank's base rate instead, with no penalty.
