The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is subject to change without notice. APY's stated may vary between states due to market condition. Fees may reduce earnings if the minimum balance is not maintained. Please see the terms and conditions for more information. EAGLE CHECKING ACCOUNT: Minimum to open $500.00. Eagle checking balances of $500.00 or more earn the advertised Eagle Checking APY if the account has monthly direct deposit (direct deposit limited to payroll, social security, pension and the like).
