## Summary
Star One members earn 3.45% APY on their checking account when they complete three monthly requirements: make 10 debit or credit card purchases, enroll in eStatements, and receive a $300 direct deposit or maintain $5,000 in deposits or loans. If the requirements are not met in a month, the account reverts to standard checking features but can requalify the following month.

## Requirements
1. Make 10 debit or credit card purchases monthly.
2. Enroll in eStatements.
3. Receive a direct deposit of at least $300 monthly or maintain $5,000 in deposits or loans.

## Fine print that matters
- Card purchases must post within the same month as authorized to qualify for rewards checking eligibility the next month.
- If monthly requirements are not met, account stays open with standard checking features and can requalify the next month.
- Early direct deposit depends on the time of submission of the payment file from the payer; funds generally made available the day the file is received, up to 2 days earlier than scheduled date.
