A Patelco checking account (opened under the same Member Number) with a total monthly deposit of $500 or more is required to receive the higher interest rate (dividend rate). If the Money Market Plus account does not meet the requirement 3 calendar months after the account is opened, the lower interest rate of 0.05% APY will be applied to the account until the requirements are met.
