Qualifications to Earn the Higher Rate

Enrollments must be in place and all of the following transactions and activities must post and settle to your Thrive Rewards or Thrive Cash Back account during each Monthly Qualification Cycle:

  • At least 15 debit card transactions
  • At least 1 direct deposit or ACH payment transaction(s)
  • Be enrolled in and agree to receive e-statements

And if you don’t meet these qualifications, don’t worry — your accounts are still free. Plus, you’ll still earn our base rate on Thrive Savings. And you can get right back to earning your full rewards the very next cycle that you qualify.
