The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, and debit card transactions processed by merchants and recorded by Peoples Bank as ATM transactions. The Monthly Qualification Cycle and Statement Cycle begin on the first business day of the month and end on the last business day of the month.

Deposit placement through CDARS or ICS is subject to the terms, conditions, and disclosures set forth in the applicable agreements. Although deposits are placed in increments that do not exceed the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (“SMDIA”) at any one destination bank, a depositor’s balances at the institution that places deposits may exceed the SMDIA (e.g., before settlement for deposits or after settlement for withdrawals) or be uninsured (if the placing institution is not an insured bank). The depositor must make any necessary arrangements to protect such balances consistent with applicable law and must determine whether placement through CDARS or ICS satisfies any restrictions on its deposits. A list identifying IntraFi network banks appears at https://www.intrafi.com/network-banks. The depositor may exclude banks from eligibility to receive its funds. IntraFi, ICS, CDARS, and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service are registered service marks, and IntraFi Cash Service is a service mark of IntraFi Network LLC.
