Expansion of APY incentive eligibility
We’ve expanded the eligibility requirements for earning a 0.25% APY increase on the cash in your Cash Account to include monthly recurring deposits from a linked external account, in addition to direct deposits. This update was made in response to client feedback, particularly from self-employed clients.
**Program details and eligibility:** To qualify for the +0.25% APY increase on the cash in your Cash Account(s), follow these two steps:
1. Maintain recurring deposits of $2,500 monthly into any Wealthfront Account or receive at least $1,000 in eligible direct deposits to your Cash Account per month. 2. Maintain a funded Wealthfront investment account.
**How to set up recurring deposits** Eligible recurring deposits must be automated electronic transfers initiated through the Wealthfront app or website from a linked external account. Here’s how to set it up:
1. Log in to your Wealthfront profile. 2. Navigate to **Transfer money** \> **Deposit**. 3. Select transfer **From a linked external account to a Wealthfront Account**. 4. Adjust the frequency setting to a recurring schedule.
As a reminder, this APY increase incentive does not have an expiration date and can be combined with other promotional or referral APY boosts.
