For members under 18, an Ent Extras Savings account will earn 5.84% and Checking account 3.93% dividend rates on the first $500 average daily balance and the current dividend rate on any balance over $500. To earn this rate, a minor must opt in their Ent Savings and Ent Checking accounts. Members under 18 are not required to complete five (5) debit or credit transactions each month in their checking account in order to qualify for Ent Extras. If a member under 18 only has an Ent Savings account, they do not need to open a checking account to qualify for Ent Extras.
Ent Extras Cash Rewards are based on a cumulative average of the monthly average daily balance up to a cap of $350,000 resulting in a maximum payout of $350 on deposits and $350 on loans at the .10% payout rate.
