We work with schools to deliver refunds with the BankMobile Disbursements platform, powered by BMTX, Inc. Schools provide us with your student enrollment status monthly, which is used by us to determine your eligibility for interest rates and other products. If you have a BankMobie Vibe Checking Account and you become unenrolled, you will be moved to the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account. Similarly, if your school is no longer delivering refunds with the BankMobile Disbursements platform or if you enroll with another school that does not deliver refunds with the BankMobile Disbursements platform, your enrollment status will become unenrolled and you will be moved to the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account. When you become unenrolled, you will be moved to this account and, if you have Qualifying Deposits totaling $300 or more per statement cycle, you will earn interest. If you do not have Qualifying Deposits totaling $300 or more per statement cycle, you will not earn interest. Should your enrollment status change at any time from unenrolled to enrolled, you will continue to be eligible to remain in the BankMobile Interest Bearing Checking Account.
Interest-bearing checking accounts allow you to earn money on the balance you have in your checking account. Not all checking accounts allow you to earn interest, which is what sets BankMobile Checking Accounts apart from many checking accounts out there. We believe that your money should work for you, not the other way around.
By making Qualifying Deposits totaling $300 or more per statement cycle, you will qualify for interest. And as an added benefit, not only will you qualify to earn interest with Qualifying Deposits totaling $300 or more, you will also avoid the Monthly Service Fee.
Qualifying Deposits include direct deposit, transfers from external bank accounts, check deposits, point-of-sale deposits and cash deposits such as those made via Green Dot® Reload @ the RegisterTM. Financial aid refunds or other refunds issued by your school, interest earned on your account, promotional credits such as cash back rewards, internal account transfers, fee waivers, fee credits, returned items, or dispute credits are not eligible toward the $300 in total deposits.

Employer direct deposits vary and, as a result, it is not possible to guarantee early access to your pay. Factors that will affect this include the sender’s deposit description used and the timing of their submission of deposit. In order to provide this service, we generally post such deposits on the business day we receive notice that the deposit is scheduled, which may be up to two (2) business days earlier than the payer’s scheduled payment date. In general, benefit checks (direct deposit or otherwise) from the federal or state government will not be eligible for early access based on the parameters we use. As an example, benefits that generally would not receive early access include but are not limited to unemployment, retirement, pension, civil service, railroad retirement and veteran’s payments.

Understanding how an interest-bearing account works and how your money can work for you is important. Here are some common questions and answers about interest-bearing BankMobile Checking Accounts and the BankMobile Savings Account.
You can earn interest each month that you make Qualifying Deposits into your checking account totaling $300 or more each statement cycle.
At the end of your statement cycle, we take your average daily balance at the end of each day to calculate the interest you will receive, which is then compounded and credited to your account. It’s as easy as that!
With compounding interest, you’re also earning interest on your entire account balance. That means that not only are you earning interest on the money you put into your account, you’re also earning interest on your previously-earned interest!
For additional information about interest, please see your Fee Schedule and Interest Rate Information and Account Terms and Conditions.
