*Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of 24 February, 2026. To open a new Zeugma Plus account relationship, you must make a total initial deposit of $1,000.00 using funds drawn from outside Leader Bank. Your Zeugma Plus Accounts must each be funded with a minimum of $10.00, the minimum balance required to maintain eligibility. To receive the 4.75% APY quoted, you must fulfill the following 3 requirements for your Zeugma Plus Checking each month: (a) receive a minimum of $1,000 in direct deposits, (b) enroll in eStatements, and (c) have three (3) electronic withdrawal debit transactions posted and cleared (excluding internal transfers) (the 'Qualifying Criteria'). When you satisfy the Qualifying Criteria, then an APY of 4.75% shall be paid on Zeugma Plus Savings balances up to $250,000 in the following month. An APY of 2.50% will be paid on that portion of daily balances which exceed $250,000; your total APY for such balances will range from 2.50% to 4.75%, depending on total balance. If you do not meet the Qualifying Criteria in a month, you will be paid 2.50% APY on your entire balance in the following month. The APYs above are effective for accounts opened between 12/1/25 and 2/28/26 and shall not be changed for accounts opened in this timeframe until at least 5/31/26; thereafter APYs may vary. Limit one Zeugma Plus Checking and one Zeugma Plus Savings account per household; additional terms and conditions may apply.
