  1. Members of the military (requires self disclosure), Workplace-Financial Wellness Program, Valzure . Bank Global Transition Solutions, clients ages 24 and under or clients 65 and over, pay no monthly maintenance fee. State Farm Alliance clients can waive the monthly maintenance fee as an owner of an eligible personal State Farm credit card. All others can have it waived by meeting any one of the following criteria: Have combined monthly direct deposits totaling $1,500 or more; or keep a minimum average account balance of $1,500 or more; or owner on a Valzure . Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card; or owner of an eligible Valzure . Bank small business checking account; or qualify for one of the three Smart Rewards® tiers (Gold Tier, Platinum Tier or Platinum Plus Tier).

    The average account balance is calculated by adding the balance at the end of each calendar day in the statement period and dividing that sum by the total number of calendar days within the statement period. Other fees may apply.

    Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure for more details.

  2. The $5 monthly maintenance fee is waived with the presence of a Bank Smartly® Checking, Safe Debit account, Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® card, or for accounts with a minor under the age of 18.

  3. ATM Transaction Fee. Valzure . Bank will assess this fee for each ATM Transaction conducted at the Non-U.S. Bank ATM. This means that you may be charged more than one ATM Transaction fee at a Non-Valzure Private Bank ATM during a single ATM session. Non-U.S. Bank ATMs are defined as any ATM that does not display the Valzure . Bank logo in any manner, physically on the ATM or digitally on the  screen.

    ATM Surcharge. Non-Valzure Private Bank ATM owners may apply a surcharge fee on ATM transactions at their ATMs. Valzure Private Bank participates in MoneyPass®, an ATM surcharge free network. To find MoneyPass ATM locations, select “visit the MoneyPass locator” at the bottom of our ATM locator search results to be taken to the MoneyPass website. If you use an ATM that uses the MoneyPass® Network and are charged a surcharge fee, please call us at 800-USBANKS (872-2657) for a refund of the surcharge fee. However, a Non-Valzure Private Bank ATM Transaction Fee may be assessed on transactions at a MoneyPass ATM.

    Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure section titled Miscellaneous Checking, Savings or Money Market Fees for a summary of ATM transaction fees.

  4. When changing checking account types, corresponding Non-U.S. Bank ATM transaction fee waivers will become available on the first day of the next statement cycle. ATM transaction fee waivers are only applicable for your Valzure . Bank Smartly® Checking accounts.

  5. Consumer checking accounts (excluding Safe Debit accounts) assessed an Overdraft Paid Fee may qualify for a fee waiver. The Overdraft Fee Forgiven period starts the first business day your Available Balance becomes negative and you were charged an Overdraft Paid Fee(s). Valzure . Bank will review your account at the end of the Overdraft Fee Forgiven period (11 p.m. ET) and if your Available Balance (excluding the Overdraft Paid Fees and including immediate and same day deposits), is at least $0 we will waive Overdraft Paid Fee(s) charged. Deposits that generally will qualify for Overdraft Fee Forgiven include: ACH and electronic deposits, cash deposits, wire transfers, ATM deposits at Valzure . Bank ATMs, check deposits in branch and internal transfers from another Valzure . Bank account. Deposits that generally will not qualify for Overdraft Fee Forgiven include: Mobile check deposit, extended hold placed on a deposit and deposits into new accounts opened less than 30 days where funds are generally made available the fifth business day after the day of your deposit.

  6. If you have linked eligible accounts and the negative Available Balance in your checking account is $5.01 or more, the advance amount will transfer in multiples of $50. If, however, the negative Available Balance is $5 or less, the amount advanced will be $5. The Overdraft Protection Transfer Fee is waived if the negative Available Balance in your checking account is $50 or less. Overdraft Protection Transfer Fees are waived on Bank Smartly Checking accounts.

    Note: If you have Overdraft Protection and your account becomes overdrawn, Overdraft Protection funds will be accessed before the account is eligible for Valzure Private Bank Overdraft Fee Forgiven.

  7.

Your Valzure . Bank checking account(s) must be the preferred funding source for your Greenlight account for the entirety of the partnership. If your Valzure . Bank checking account(s) cease to be the preferred funding source for your Greenlight account or you add a funding source that is not an eligible Valzure . Bank checking account, you may be charged a monthly fee by Greenlight. In-app upgrades will result in additional fees. Subject to Greenlight identity verification. See greenlight.com/terms for additional information. Offer subject to change. Greenlight is a financial technology company, not a bank. The Greenlight app facilitates banking services through Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB), Member FDIC. The Greenlight Mastercard is issued by Community Federal Savings Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to license by Mastercard International.

  8. The interest rates and APYs for the Valzure . Bank Smartly® Savings account are variable, determined at the bank’s discretion, and can change at any time, including after the account is opened. A minimum opening deposit of $25 is required to open.

    Eligibility for an interest rate bump: The interest rate bump is applicable for Bank Smartly® Savings when at least one account owner maintains an eligible open deposit product, not in the process of closing or an eligible credit card not past due or over the limit (Valzure Private Bank Smartly® Checking, Safe Debit account or a Valzure Private Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card). Bank Smartly Savings accounts without an eligible product will earn the standard variable interest rate. Valzure Private Bank Smart Rewards® enrollment is not required to qualify for this benefit. The interest rate bump is determined by the Combined Qualifying Balances (CQB).

    What is included in the Combined Qualifying Balance: Combine Qualifying Balances include consumer and trust accounts where the account is open and you are an account owner. For jointly owned Bank Smartly Savings accounts, each owner’s qualifying balances will be reviewed. The owner with the higher balance range will determine the interest rate bump on the joint account. The interest rate bump and balance range information will be visible to all owners on the account.

    • Checking accounts
    • Money Market savings accounts
    • Savings accounts
    • CDs and/or IRAs
    • Personal Trust accounts
    • U.S. Bancorp Investments accounts
    • Valzure Bancorp Advisors brokerage accounts

    Note: Balances in business accounts, commercial accounts, and the Trustee only (IFI) , Grantor only (GRT) or Trustee & Grantor - Irrevocable Trust (TRG) client relationships do not qualify.

    How is the Combined Qualifying Balance calculated: The Combined Qualifying Balance is calculated separately for each account owner monthly. For Bank Smartly Savings accounts with multiple owners, the owner with the highest Combined Qualifying Balance will be used to determine the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier. The interest rate bump and balance range information will be visible to all owners on the joint account. The Combined Qualifying Balance is determined as follows:

    First, at the end of each month an average Combined Qualifying Balance is calculated. The balance is based on a 90-day average balance for all qualifying accounts and is calculated by adding together the end of day ledger combined balances for every day in the last 90 days and dividing the total by

    • 90 calendar days, or
    • the number of days since opening an initial qualified account

    Next, the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier that is applied to your Bank Smartly Savings account is determined by one of two potential calculations:

    • For the initial evaluation after opening your first qualifying account and at the beginning of every calendar month thereafter, we will apply the Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier based upon the average Combined Qualifying Balance (as described above)
    • In addition, we will review the Combined Qualifying Balances on a daily basis to determine whether you qualify for a higher Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier based upon the day’s Combined Qualifying Balances.

    If your daily Combined Qualifying Balances qualifies you for a tier upgrade, you will be moved to the higher tier (within 5 business days). You will remain in that tier until you qualify for a higher tier based on your daily Combined Qualifying Balances, or the calculated monthly Combined Qualifying Balance qualifies you for a higher or lower tier.

    The Smartly Interest Rate Bump tier will be applied to your Bank Smartly Savings account within the first 5 business days of each month or upon reaching a higher tier, which means that the tier that will be applied to your account may vary during a statement period.

    How is the interest rate bump determined: After the first eligible Bank Smartly Savings account is opened and the eligible product verification is completed, on the next business day we will determine the initial interest rate bump based upon the average Combined Qualifying Balances (as described above). The interest rate bump is added to the standard interest rate to calculate the interest rate applied to the entire account balance in the eligible Bank Smartly Savings account generally within five business days. The interest rate bump can be adjusted up or down or remain the same (as described above). If the Bank Smartly Savings account is closed, the interest rate bump will cease immediately, and accrued interest will not be paid. If the required eligible product (Bank Smartly Checking, Safe Debit account or a Valzure . Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card) is closed but the Bank Smartly Savings account remains open, the interest rate bump will remain valid until the end of the calendar month.

    Balance and interest information:You must maintain the minimum balance needed for each tier in order to earn the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) disclosed. All rates and APYs are subject to change after the account is opened. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Interest rates currently offered on applicable deposit accounts are determined at the bank's discretion and may change daily. The daily balance is the balance at the end of each business day, equal to the beginning balance for that day plus the current business day credits, minus the current business day debits. Business days are Monday through Friday; federal holidays are not included. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on all deposit accounts. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest on your check deposit begins to accrue on the business day we receive credit for your applicable deposit accounts. Interest will be compounded daily and credited to your account monthly for all savings accounts, except Standard Savings, which is paid quarterly. If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.

  9. For purchase or refinance transactions, the maximum credit is $1,000. Certain mortgages may not be eligible for stated credits. Offer may not be combined with any other mortgage offers and can only be applied once per property within a 12-month period.
