Your APY is increasing to 3.55%
We’re happy to share that this Friday, 9/18, the base rate APY your cash earns in the Cash Account will be **increasing to 3.55% from program banks**.
Since the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates, we’re passing those savings onto you.
And as you most likely already know, you can boost your APY up to 4.55% for a limited time when you stack two rewards:
* **Deposit and invest with us** \- maintain recurring monthly deposits (either a direct deposit of $1,000, or recurring deposits of $2,500 into any account) and a funded investing account. We’ll raise your APY by 0.25%—with no expiration date. * **Refer a friend** \- you know this one well, refer a friend, and you’ll both get a 0.75% boost on up to $150,000 for 3 months. See terms below.
Friendly reminder, please only post your referral codes in the ➡️ [official monthly thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/wealthfront/comments/1w4kxqg/share_your_referral_codes_here_september_sticky/) ⬅️
*(any referral codes shared outside of the current monthly thread will be removed automatically by the automod)*.
