* The Annual Percentage Yield assumes 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%).
