ATM refunds will be paid on the last calendar day of the month. If you have a Peak PLUS High Yield Savings account, ATM fees refunded to you will be deposited directly into your Peak PLUS High Yield Savings account. If you do not have a Peak PLUS High-Yield Savings account, fees refunded will remain in your Peak PLUS High-Yield Checking account. If you do not meet all of the minimum qualification requirements during the monthly qualification cycle, ATM fees will not be refunded to you.
