Hold Policy
When you make a deposit, a fixed hold period may apply to allow time for the deposit to clear before the funds are available to you. For more information about hold periods on deposits, please view the Equitable Bank Hold Funds Policy.
Interest Calculations
Interest begins to accrue on every dollar the day your account becomes active. Interest is calculated daily on the total closing balance and at the rates per annum, as offered. Interest is paid monthly.
