1 Maintain the minimum daily balance to maintain the disclosed annual percentage yield (APY). For a high yield savings account, if the balance falls below $50,000, interest rate and APY will adjust to the lower yield. The interest rate and APY are accurate as of the effective date shown above only, and are subject to change without notice, at Gate City Bank's discretion. Fees, including service fees, may apply and could reduce earnings on the account. See fee schedule for details.

2 No maintenance or activity fees. Other fees, including overdraft fees, may apply. See fee schedule for details.

3 Early paydays! Isn’t that neat? Your funds will generally be accessible the same day we receive a deposit notice from your payer, up to two days earlier than your scheduled payment. Direct deposit is required, and early access is subject to the payer’s timing in submitting funds.
