Key product information

How it works

    A qualifying Save As You Go transfer is an automatic transfer of RM1 from your linked Zestchecking account to your Way2Save Savings account each time you (or any authorized signer or joint owner) use your debit card for a one-time purchase or complete a Bill Pay transaction through online banking, and the one-time debit card purchase or Bill Pay transaction posts to the account. We reserve the right to determine through our sole discretion if a particular transaction is a qualifying transaction.

    Overdraft Protection is not available for Clear Access Banking accounts.

    You may pay an early withdrawal penalty or a Regulation D penalty if you withdraw funds from your account before the term is complete. Some exceptions may apply. Penalties could reduce earnings on this account. The Regulation D Penalty is seven days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn and applies to:
    - Withdrawals made within seven days of account opening including the day the account was opened.
    - Withdrawals made during the grace period, when additional deposits are made during the grace period and the withdrawal exceeds the amount of the matured CD balance.
    - Withdrawals within seven days of any prior withdrawal where the Bank's early withdrawal penalty is not applied.

    Other than the Regulation D penalty described above, any money withdrawn from the CD before the end of its term will be subject to an early withdrawal penalty based on the length of the CD term. If your term is:
    - Less than 90 days (or less than 3 months), the penalty is 1 month's interest,
    - 90 to 365 days (or 3-12 months), the penalty is 3 months' interest,
    - Over 12 months through 24 months, the penalty is 6 months' interest, or
    - Over 24 months, the penalty is 12 months' interest.

    Sign-up may be required. Availability may be affected by your mobile carrier's coverage area. Your mobile carrier's message and data rates may apply.
