*The Betterment Everyday Savings (“Savings”) annual percentage yield (“APY”) is as of 08-13-2019. Individuals who sign up for the Betterment Everyday Checking waitlist receive a 2.39% APY, which includes a Promotional rate increase that extends at least for the duration of 2019 and until every individual on the waitlist has an opportunity to access Checking. Additional promotional rate increase offers will be made available upon the full launch of Checking. APY is 2.14% as of 08-13-2019 without the promotional rate increase. APY is a variable rate that can fluctuate daily, based on the Federal Funds Rate and terms offered by banks participating in Savings. APY may change at any time without notice. Current APY can be found here. No minimum balance is required. There is a minimum deposit of $10. ‡ Checking accounts and the Betterment Visa Debit Card (collectively “Betterment Everyday Checking” or “Checking”) provided by and issued by nbkc bank, Overland Park, Kansas, Member FDIC. Funds deposited into Checking will be eligible for up to $250,000 of FDIC insurance. Betterment Everyday Checking made available through Betterment Financial LLC. Betterment Financial LLC does not charge foreign transaction fees for the use of the Betterment Visa Debit Card outside of the United States. However, Visa charges a foreign transaction fee of 1%. Betterment Financial LLC does not reimburse this 1% transaction fee on foreign ATM transactions or on any other foreign transactions or purchases. † Betterment LLC clients may choose to participate in Betterment Everyday Savings (“Savings”), through which clients' funds are deposited into one or more banks ("Program Banks") where the funds earn a variable interest rate and are eligible for FDIC insurance. FDIC insurance is not available until deposits are received by the Program Banks. There are currently at least four Program Banks, which allows funds deposited into Savings to be eligible for up to $1,000,000 of FDIC insurance (up to $250,000 at each program bank). Clients are responsible for monitoring their total assets at each Program Bank, including existing deposits held at Program Banks outside of Savings, to ensure FDIC limits are not exceeded, which could result in some funds being uninsured. The FDIC calculates the limits based on all the accounts held at a bank, not just cash in Savings. If you elect to exclude one or more Program Banks the amount of FDIC insurance available to you through Savings may be lower. For more information on FDIC insurance please visit www.FDIC.gov. The deposits in Savings are not covered by SIPC. See Program Terms and Conditions for additional information.
