*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Rates effective as of 04/17/2026 and are subject to change without notice. Membership required.

*To receive the APY of 3.00%, you must make a minimum of 20 qualifying purchase transactions using your Wheelhouse® Visa® debit card associated with an Inspired Plus checking account per calendar month. No minimum balance is required to earn dividends. Inspired Plus checking is a variable rate account. The APY may change after account opening. Fees could reduce earnings on the account.

Inspired Plus checking requires the following within 90 days of account opening: initial minimum deposit of $10, at least $450 in recurring monthly direct deposits, active digital banking registration, eStatements enrollment, and a $9 monthly fee. If requirements are not met and maintained, the account will be converted to a Basic checking account, which may be subject to different terms and conditions. Access to Perks by Wheelhouse® will also be removed.
