Frequently asked questions

FAQs: You asked. We answered.

What are the monthly requirements to earn Xtraordinary Checking’s high yield?

To earn 5.00% APY‍1 on account balances up to $25,000, you must meet the following monthly requirements: 

  1. Make 15 debit card purchases or accumulate $500 in debit card spending by month end.
  2. Subscribe to eStatements – here’s how.
  3. Make a direct deposit or an ACH deposit (from a non-Connexus account) of at least $500.
    • Some example deposits include direct deposit from payroll, retirement benefits, or government benefits.
    • Additionally, you can use Connexus Digital Banking to link to an external account at a different financial institution and transfer funds into your Xtraordinary Checking Account each month to meet the ACH deposit requirement.

I just converted my Simply Free Checking Account to an Xtraordinary Checking Account. Why am I not seeing the changes?

It may take 24 hours for the changes to your account status to be reflected in Digital Banking.

Why wasn’t my Simply Free Checking Account converted to the Xtraordinary Checking Account?

If you already have an Xtraordinary Checking Account, your additional Simply Free Checking Account will not be converted, as only one Xtraordinary Checking Account is allowed per member.
