To earn the 4.25% APY, based on a 4.17% dividend rate, members must open a qualifying Heritage High Yield Checking or Cash Back Checking account or deposit $2,500 in new money into an existing HFCU account when the 4- month certificate is opened. **New money means funds not currently on deposit with HFCU. Transfers from existing HFCU accounts, or funds withdrawn and redeposited within 30 days, do not qualify. Additional deposits are not permitted after opening.
