e-LOOP Checking Account

At NewportFed,we are committed to providing you a better way to bank. In an effort to make banking more convenient and simultaneously, environmentally friendly, we have created several safe and secure ways for our customers to bank electronically. One example is to encourage the use of electronically delivered monthly statements, instead of paper.

Not only does that help the environment, but it reduces our cost of doing business. Those savings can then be passed on to those of you who use our electronic banking options to their fullest extent. The result is the e-Loop Checking Account; a free account with an annual percentage yield (APY) as high, and in most cases, higher than some of the best certificate of deposit rates, only with far more convenience and accessibility.

Earning a High Rate of Interest is as Easy as 1, 2, 3
Customers with e-Loop Checking earn a high rate of interest on balances up to $50,000! And that’s not all. e-Loop account holders can use any ATM, anywhere in the country, FREE! Earning these substantial benefits is as easy as 1,2,3… just meet the following requirements during each monthly statement cycle:
  1. Make at least 10 NewportFed Visa® Check Card purchases
  2. Have one direct deposit or automated clearing house (ACH) debit transaction*
  3. Receive statements electronically

The best part is that these requirements are convenient and at no cost to you! Even if you do not meet the requirements in a monthly cycle, your account remains free and you still earn a competitive rate of interest. In that case, ATM fees will apply as well. However, you can pick right up in the next month and qualify again for the high interest reward and the free ATMs. You always control your ability to earn the highest rate and no cost ATM features of the account!

*An Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit transaction is an electronic payment to a qualified third party vendor (such as insurance payment, health club payment, cable bill, etc.)
And There’s More…
You can benefit even further by participating in NewportFed’s Visa Check Card “Dime-A-Sign”program. All you have to do is, when you’re asked, “debit or credit?” say “credit,” sign for your purchase, and we’ll pay you a dime! That’s it…it’s that easy! Just say “credit” and watch the dimes grow in your account!

* 6.01% APY on balances up to $50,000; 1.00% APY on the portion above $50,000. If requirements are not met within the statement cycle, an APY of .10% will be paid on the entire balance. Call for details.

APY Effective as of October 10, 2007 until changed.
