  4. Review and sign the agreement.

  5. Once signed, your agreement is submitted to our partner for review and your account will be opened. 

Note: Depending on your answers to the due diligence questions, our partner may request additional information before your account is opened. Our team will handle this on your behalf.

Viewing your Savings account balance

You can view your Savings account balance from both the Banking navigation panel and the Savings account page.

The Savings page includes:

  • Available balance: The amount of money in the account that you can use today, excluding pending transfers.

  • Current balance: The total amount of money in the account, including pending transfers.

  • Pending out: The total amount of money that is currently leaving the account.

  • APY: The estimated annual rate of return on your savings, including compounding interest, with interest accruing daily and paid out monthly.

Transfers

Moving Funds Between Accounts

Transfers into your Rho Savings account can only be initiated from a Rho Checking account. To make a transfer:

  1. Go to the Banking tab.

  2. Select Transfer.

  3. Choose the sending and receiving accounts, enter the amount, and select a transfer frequency if applicable.

Transfer settlement times

Settlement times differ depending on the direction of the transfer:

  • Checking → Savings: Typically settles the same business day, if created before 1pm ET.

  • Savings → Checking: Typically settles the next business day, if created before 1pm ET.

Transfer limits

There is no limit on transfers into your Savings account. Transfers out are limited to six (6) per month.

Interest

Here’s how interest works for Rho Savings accounts:

  • Interest accrues daily and is paid monthly.

  • Interest payments are posted on the 5th business day of each month. If the 5th falls on a weekend or holiday, payments will be posted the next business day.

  • Interest is calculated using your average monthly balance with daily ending balances used to determine the monthly average.

  • Interest is calculated using a 30/365 day convention.

  • A minimum average monthly balance of $25,000 is required to earn interest.

Statements 

Monthly statements are available by 6pm ET on the 5th business day of each month. To access statements, navigate to the Settings → Documents section of your Rho dashboard.
