Disclosures

Business accounts are eligible if their account uses an Employer Identification Number, not a social security number that is already linked to another Educators Credit Union account.

The account must be in good standing on Nov. 30, 2023, to receive the reward. An account is not in good standing if its checking account has been negative for more than 35 days or a loan is overdue for payment. You can earn one monthly reward per service listed. For example, if you have multiple auto loans or leases, it will count as one service. Other restrictions apply. Annual Percentage Yield for Educators Credit Union’s base checking account is 0.01%.
