Interest will be compounded monthly and credited to your account at the end of each monthly statement cycle. Interest is calculated using the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

The Base Level and Bonus Levels interest rates and APYs are effective as of February 02, 2026, and are variable and subject to change at any time at our discretion. Fees could reduce earnings.

OPEN AN ACCOUNT NOW

Enjoy contactless payment technology.

 

Contactless payments are transactions made by tapping either a contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile or wearable device over a contactless-enabled payment terminal. Cards, phones, watches and other devices use the same contactless technology.

 

 

Visa Check Card

A better customer experience

 

Tapping to pay allows you to checkout easily and avoid touching surfaces – and it only takes seconds.

Secure transactions

 

Tapping to pay with a contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile or wearable device is a secure way to pay because each transaction generates a one-time code, just like contact EMV.

No signature required

 

In 2018, Visa removed the need to capture and validate a signature for merchants that have deployed EMV® chip technology.
