Frequently Asked Questions

Can I access funds immediately? Yes — transfers to linked checking accounts or internal transfers are typically available the same business day, subject to bank cutoffs and transfer methods.

Are there limits on withdrawals? Some regulatory and account-specific limits may apply; your relationship manager will outline any transaction allowances and options for larger or frequent transfers.

How do I earn the highest yield? Interest is usually tiered by balance; keeping a higher average balance or combining accounts under a relationship package often increases the effective return.
