What is APY?

APY is short for "annual percentage yield," which is the interest you earn in a year by putting your money into a bank account. 

Unlike a simple interest rate, APY factors in compounding and it helps your cash grow faster than simple interest. The higher the APY, the more you earn!
That's why it's important to consider APY when you look for a bank account. Firstcard offers an APY rate that's 100x higher than big banks!

Earn a much higher APY with Firstcard1.

Supercharge your money with a higher APY. Firstcard members earn 1.25% APY and Firstcard+ members enjoy a higher 4.25% APY on the money in Firstcard Bank Account.

Savings account structure in traditional banks is broken

Traditional banks still requires customers to transfer funds between checkings and savings accounts to earn an APY. This doesn’t make sense to us.

So, we simplified the process. Members can earn up to 4.25% APY on their money in Firstcard without the unnecessary steps.

Security & support you can trust

Security and safety is Firstcard's top priority. Firstcard uses industry standard encryption technology to ensure your account and information is safe and secure.

Money in your Firstcard account is insured up to the maximum amount of $250,000 through our bank partner, Regent Bank, a member of FDIC.
