2   The stated Annual Percentage Yields (APYs) assume all interest reinvested daily at the stated rate. The interest rate we pay on any particular RediReserve Certificate depends on the tier into which the holder’s end-of-the-day balance falls. We will not pay interest on a RediReserve Certificate for any day on which the end-of-the-day balance is less than $100. Interest rates and annual percentage yields for each tier may change from week to week and will apply to outstanding RediReserve Certificates. We currently set the interest rates each Sunday and they are effective through Saturday. Interest rates for each one week period, currently commencing on Sunday, will be at least equal to the rate on the thirteen week U.S. Treasury Bill auctioned on the immediately preceding Monday less one percent (1%).
