1 To be eligible for the 10% annual match on your Upromise earnings from Upromise, you must link your High Yield Savings Account (HYSA) to your Upromise Account and, within 90 days of opening your HYSA, either: (1) set up an Automatic Savings Plan with a monthly deposit of $25 or more, or (2) fund your HYSA account with $5,000 or more. If you qualify for the 10% match based on having the minimum balance of $5,000 in your HYSA, you must maintain that minimum balance in your HYSA for the duration of the calendar year for which your earnings will be matched. Once you complete the steps above, Upromise will match 10% of your Upromise earnings posted as "funded" to your Upromise Account during each calendar year. Your match will be deposited into your HYSA in the February after you have linked and funded your account as described above, provided that both accounts remain active and are in good standing at time of transfer. Visit the FAQs to learn more. Upromise may change or terminate the 10% annual match offer at any time without notice. Other terms and conditions may apply. Upromise Accounts are not FDIC insured, carry no bank guarantee and may lose value.
