1. Annual Percentage Yield
2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of 1 September, 2026. Promotional APYs listed apply to accounts opened between 9/01/26and 10/31/26 and are guaranteed through 12/31/26; thereafter, APYs may change. To open a new Zeugma Plus relationship, no owner can own or have owned a Leader Bank deposit account within the past 12 months and must deposit at least $1,000 in new funds from outside Leader Bank. Each Zeugma Plus account requires a $10 initial minimum balance, but the minimum aggregate initial balance across both accounts must be at least $1,000. To earn the promotional 4.75% APY, you must fulfill the following 3 requirements for your Zeugma Plus Checking each month: (a) receive at least $1,000 in direct deposits, (b) enroll in eStatements, and (c) complete at least three posted and cleared electronic debit transactions (excluding internal transfers) ("Qualifying Criteria"). Accounts meeting the Qualifying Criteria will earn 4.75% APY on savings balances up to $250,000 the following month. Balances above $250,000 earn 2.50% APY, resulting in a blended APY between 2.50% and 4.75%. If the Qualifying Criteria are not met, the entire balance will earn 2.50% APY the following month. Limit one Zeugma Plus Checking and one Zeugma Plus Savings account per household. Additional terms and conditions may apply.
3. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal from a Certificate of Deposit. Checking accounts may be required to open CDs, ask a representative.
4. Limit of $5,000,000.
5. You may only make six (6) preauthorized, automatic, telephone or third party check transfers from your Money Market account each statement cycle. We reserve the right to at any time require not less than seven (7) days' notice in writing before any withdrawal from your account. You must maintain a minimum balance of $10.00 in the account each day to obtain the minimum disclosed APY. A monthly service charge of $6.00 will be imposed every statement cycle if the account balance falls below $1,000.00 on any day of the statement cycle.
Rates subject to change without notice and may change after the account is opened, excluding Certificates of Deposit. Fees could reduce earnings on accounts.
