Customers who want to gather points on transactions can use the account’s debit card to earn one reward point for every USD 2 spent, as well as a 0.50% annual yield on balances.
Company officials stated that the reason they are putting together this annual percentage yield and rewards is to maximise the loyalty they can get from those customers. American Express called it the company’s first checking account for consumers.
