The interest rate applied is based on the highest tier reached by the whole closing balance of the account. For example, a balance of $8,000 in a US Savings Account would receive an interest rate of 0.10% on the entire balance.

The bonus offer is available only on new deposits made from April 8, 2019 to October 31, 2019 into US Dollar Savings Accounts. The bonus as of April 8, 2019 is 1.75%. Both existing and new customers are eligible for the bonus. If you’re an existing customer, this bonus applies to any new deposits above your balance as of April 8, 2019.
For example, if you have $100 in your account on April 8, 2019, any new deposits above $100 would receive the applicable bonus. Funds not receiving the bonus rate continue to receive the regular interest rate of the account. If you have a maturing investment that is deposited into an eligible account, that deposit will not be eligible for the applicable bonus (but it will still receive the regular interest rate of the account).
