Only one Premier Checking account per member. To view our current rates, please visit BFSFCU.org/rates. For account terms and conditions, please see the Truth-In-Savings Disclosure

APY Range is based on a low and high balance scenario of $1.00 and $8,000,000.00. The annual percentage yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change at any time as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields are the prospective rates and yields that the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period. Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts are tiered rate accounts. The balance ranges and corresponding dividend rates and annual percentage yields applicable to each tier are disclosed in the Rate Schedule. For Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts, the applicable dividend rates and annual percentage yields will apply only to that portion of the account balance within the corresponding balance range as listed in the Rate Schedule. Refer to the Truth-In-Savings Disclosure for additional details pertaining to these tiered accounts.

Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors, including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle-specific manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change.

5 Your purchase of MEMBERS CHOICETM Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is optional and will not affect your loan application for credit or the terms of any credit agreement you have with us. Certain eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions may apply. You will receive the contract before you are required to pay for GAP. You should carefully read the contract for a full explanation of the terms. If you choose GAP, adding the GAP fee to your loan amount will increase the cost of GAP. You may cancel GAP at any time. If you cancel GAP within 90 days, you will receive a full refund of any fee paid. GAP-3414637.1-0121-0423 CUNA Mutual Group ©2021, All Rights Reserved.
