As an Intelligent High-Yield Bundle, the qualifiers are tied to Intelligent Checking. If a member qualifies for Intelligent Checking in any given month they will also earn the higher rate on their Intelligent Savings account. If a member doesn't qualify for Intelligent Checking, they do not get the Intelligent Savings dividend.
The non-qualifying rate is [[iq:checking:savings-non-qualifying.column_2]] APY; currently the same as a regular savings account at iQ.
There are no minimum or maximum balance thresholds.
It's a smart alternative to a regular savings account. We also kept the name consistent with our existing Intelligent Checking. It's intelligent, squared.
A high-yield savings account is a great option to earn more money that a regular savings account. This is a good solution for members who don't want to keep large balances in checking or have more than $25,000.
It also is different from other higher-yield savings products like a certificate of deposit (CD) because the money can be accessed at any time (a CD locks the money for a specific period of time and it can't be accessed without penalty fees). Also, unlike a typical CD or money market account, you can start with any balance and still earn the Intelligent Savings rate.
Another unique feature: Intelligent Savings works together with our Intelligent Checking to earn members even more money without any additional work on your part.
If you already have an iQ account, you can add another share – or savings account – from inside your online banking account. Visit "Services" and click on Apply Online, then "Add Account or Service to Existing Membership".
If you don't have an existing account or you'd like more help from our team, you can fill out our online application or give us a call at 800.247.4364. You can also make an appointment online to visit one of our branches on your time. Look for the "Book an Appointment" link at the top of any page.
