Can I have a GO Green Rewards Checking Account if I don’t own a computer?
• Absolutely! You only need to have a valid e-mail address in order for us to send you e-mail statements, but you can pull the statement from wherever you have internet access.

What day will my statements generate?
• Go Green Rewards Checking statements will generate on the last day of the month. They will be available to you in your e-mail account the morning of the next business day.

What time frame is looked at to determine if I met my conditions?
• Conditions are looked at for the statement cycle. This means if you open a new account on the 25th of the month, you would only have approximately 5-6 days to meet the conditions for the month.

• You will earn interest at the lower rate for those 5-6 days.

How will interest be accrued?
