The 10-Month Anniversary Tiered Term Certificate is a tiered step-down rate structure. Dividend rates and APYs vary based on the account balance, the period of time funds remain on deposit, and whether qualification requirements are met. The Dividend Rate and APY for this certificate are not fixed and may change during the term based on qualification status.
To earn the disclosed introductory Promotional Period APYs, qualification requirements must be met during each qualification period, as described below. If qualification requirements are not met for any qualification period during the term of the certificate, the Dividend Rate and APY will be reduced to the Fallback APY for that qualification period.

The Fallback APY is equal to the APY applicable during the remaining term of the certificate following the introductory Promotional Period.
