Your Rewards, Your Way
Cash back or higher yield — your account decides, for your benefit.
You don’t have to choose – your Share Draft Rewards Checking adjusts each month based on your balance3:
Keep an average balance of $6,000 or more → earn 2.05% APY1.
Keep a lower balance → earn 1.5% cash back2 on up to $600 in monthly debit purchases.
It’s simple. Your account automatically gives you the best reward for your situation — every month.
Each month you qualify, your rewards are credited automatically—cash back rewards go into your Rewards Deposit Account4, and dividends are added right into your checking—so your money keeps growing in the background, without any extra effort.

OAS FCU accounts are for members only. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of 04/01/2026; rates are variable and may change after the account is opened. Fees may reduce earnings. No minimum balance is required to open or earn the APY. The preferential dividend rate of 2.12 % APY applies only when your daily balance equals $6,000 and you meet all monthly qualification requirements. Balances above or below $6,000 earn the non-preferential rate of 0.05 % APY, even if qualifications are met. Dividends compound daily and are credited monthly. If the account is closed before dividends are credited, accrued dividends will not be paid. See the Truth-in-Savings Disclosure and Schedule of Fees for details.
-
If you meet the qualification requirements and your daily balance is below $6,000, you will receive 1.5 % cash back on the first $600 of qualifying debit-card purchases each month (maximum $9). The cash back reward applies to PIN and signature-based purchases only. Cash-back amounts are credited monthly to a non-dividend-bearing Rewards Deposit Account.
-
To meet the qualification requirements, each calendar month you must: (a) complete at least 15 Point-of-Sale (POS) debit-card purchases that post and clear to your account during that month; (b) receive at least one direct deposit (ACH) that posts and clears; and (c) be enrolled in eStatements. Automatic recurring debit payments do not count toward the purchase requirement. Transactions are counted based on the posting date, which is not necessarily the date on which they took place.
