Additional Terms: For your security, your High Yield Savings Account will not be considered open until you have completed the verification of the external funding account you designated during the application process and we have completed the process of verifying your identity. This means that until these steps are completed, you will not be allowed to make any deposits (other than the initial funding deposit) or any withdrawals or transfers from your High Yield Savings Account.
