Psst ... keep this in mind:
True Debt Calculator results are only estimates based on the info you provide. The True Debt Calculator can help give you a sense of timing and monthly payments as you put together a repayment plan. Still, it doesn't consider factors -such as your credit card annual fee (if it has one), late payment fees, or any other fees you might incur. It also assumes you won't use the credit card to make any new purchases.

Disclaimers
This is all the legal stuff our lawyers make us say
Savings
The optional Savings Account linked to your designated Porte account is made available to Accountholders through Pathward®, National Association, Member FDIC. To open a Savings Account, consent to receive communications from us in electronic form is required. Interest is calculated on the Average Daily Balance(s) of the Savings Account and is paid quarterly.
• An interest rate of 0.20% will be paid on your average daily balance with an APY of 0.20%.
• Additionally, the optional Porte Savings account allows you to earn a higher interest rate of 2.97% with an APY of 3.00% on an average daily balance of up to $15,000 during a calendar quarter if you (i) receive at least $3,000 in Qualifying Direct Deposits into your Porte Spending Account in that calendar quarter, AND (ii) make at least fifteen (15) Qualifying Debit Card Purchase Transactions from your Porte Spending Account in that calendar quarter. “Qualifying Direct Deposits” and “Qualifying Debit Card Purchase Transactions” have meaning ascribed to them in the Savings Account Agreement. The interest paid on average daily balances of over $15,000.00 will be 0.20% with an APY range for this tier from 3.00% to 0.20%.
The interest rates and APYs of each tier may change. The APYs were accurate as of 05/01/23. No minimum balance to open Savings Account. Savings Account funds are withdrawn through the Porte Account and transaction fees could reduce the interest earned on the Savings Account. See the Savings Account Agreement for more details. Funds on deposit are FDIC insured through Pathward, N.A. For purposes of FDIC coverage, all funds held on deposit by you at Pathward, National Association, will be aggregated up to the coverage limit, currently $250,000.00.
2 Days Faster
Faster funding claim is based on a comparison of our policy of making funds available upon receipt of payment instruction versus the typical banking practice of posting funds at settlement. Fraud prevention restrictions may delay availability of funds with or without notice. Early availability of funds requires payor’s support of direct deposit and is subject to the timing of payor’s payment instruction.
ATM-Fee
No ATM owner surcharge or ATM Cash Withdrawal Fees for domestic ATM withdrawals at MoneyPass® ATMs (“in-network ATMs”). Visit the Porte Mobile App for a list of in-network ATMs. All other ATMs may apply an owner’s surcharge fee in addition to the ATM Cash Withdrawal Fee disclosed in your Deposit Account Agreement. Balance Inquiry Fees apply.

No Monthly Fee
Monthly fee waived with qualifying Direct Deposit(s) totaling at least $1,000 in the thirty-five (35) days preceding the date on which the monthly fee is assessed.
Overdraft Choice
Overdraft Choice is available to customers enrolled in the Overdraft Service. By switching Overdraft Choice to “off”, you are requesting us to deny any transaction that may overdraw your account. Whether we pay any item presented on your account is still up to our discretion and you will remain liable for any negative balance on your account. See the Porte Agreement for more details.
Optional Overdraft Service
The Debit Card Overdraft Service is an optional service made available to eligible PORTE customers by Pathward®, National Association. Once you enroll and meet the eligibility requirements, you will be charged $20.00 for each transaction that overdraws your account by more than $10.00, up to a maximum of five (5) fees per calendar month. To avoid that fee, you have twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the first transaction that creates the overdraft to bring your Account back to a zero ($0.00) or a positive balance. Transactions subject to an overdraft fee are signature and PIN purchase transactions and ATM transactions. ACH Debit transactions are not eligible for coverage. Any negative balance must be repaid within thirty (30) days. Whether we authorize an overdraft is discretionary, and we reserve the right not to pay. For example, we typically will not pay overdrafts if you fail to meet the eligibility requirements for this service or you attempt too many transactions or transactions that create too large of an overdraft. Call us at 1-800-267-7080 or log in to your Mobile App for additional terms and conditions that apply, including initial and ongoing eligibility requirements for the service. This service is expensive, so we encourage you to research alternatives before enrolling. Once enrolled, you may opt-out at any time; however, you are responsible to repay any overdrawn amounts on your account even if you opt-out of the service.
Patriot Act
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OPENING A NEW DEPOSIT ACCOUNT: To help the federal government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA PATRIOT Act requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an Account. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: When you open an Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and your government ID number. We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other documents at any time. All Accounts are opened subject to our ability to verify your identity by requiring acceptable types of identification. We may validate the information you provide us to ensure we have a reasonable belief of your identity. If we are not able to verify your identity to our satisfaction, we will not open your Account or we may close the Account if it was previously funded. Your Account is subject to fraud prevention restrictions at any time, with or without notice.
