3. Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association ("MSPBNA”)’s Premium Savings Account offers an enhanced Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") coverage feature (“Enhanced FDIC Coverage Feature”, or, the “Feature”) which gives MSPBNA the ability to transfer any amount held on deposit in your Premium Savings Account (“PSA Deposits”) to other depository accounts at FDIC member banks (“Program Banks”) with the purpose of providing you additional FDIC insurance coverage. The Feature is designed to offer up to $500,000 in FDIC coverage for individual accounts and up to $1,000,000 for joint accounts. Learn more.
4. Deposits Transaction Limits: You may make a one-time deposit, via ACH, wire, or check, to fund the account within 30 calendar days of opening the account. Deposits after this window are not permitted at any time. Unless otherwise provided, partial withdrawals and additional deposits are not permitted. Interest earned on the account can be paid out via check, if you chose that option at opening, otherwise you may not withdraw interest prior to maturity. A withdrawal of interest will reduce earnings. Withdrawals: You may make a full withdrawal, without penalty, during the grace period in the 7 calendar days immediately following maturity. If you choose to make a withdrawal before maturity, or after the 7-day grace period has ended, an Early Withdrawal penalty will be assessed (refer to “Early Withdrawal penalties” section for more detail). Partial withdrawals are not permitted at any time.
Certificate of Deposit (CD) customers agree to keep funds on deposit for a fixed period of time. Unless otherwise provided, withdrawals outside of the grace period are not permitted. If we permit an early withdrawal from a CD, we will impose an early withdrawal penalty equals to certain number of days of simple interest determined based on the term of the CD. Simple interest is calculated on the total principal amount (partial withdrawals are not allowed) using the interest rate of your current CD, based on 365 days or 366 if the withdrawal happens in a leap year. If the penalty amount exceeds the accrued interest, the principal is also subjected to penalty. We may elect not to impose a penalty for a withdrawal of principal following the death or adjudication of incompetence of any account owner if the account was opened before such adjudication and not extended or renewed after that date.

Competitive yields
Except for fixed-rate certificates of deposit, which earn the same interest rate through maturity, the interest rate and annual percentage yield ("APY") on deposits may change at any time and fees may reduce earnings. Information on current interest rates and APYs can be found by visiting etrade.com/ratesheet. The interest rate and the corresponding APY for all individual or trust deposits more than $10,000,000 and all commercial deposits more than $99,000 are subject to negotiation by the parties.
Calculation method
We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on accounts. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks).
If a minimum average balance is required to avoid a fee, the average balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period, and dividing that figure by the number of days in that period.
Tiered-rate accounts
On tiered-rate accounts, we apply the interest rate for the balance tier of your end-of-day balance against the entire balance of your account. Different rates may apply to different tiers.
This schedule will assist you in comparing the terms of our deposit products. They are part of our Account Agreement with you.
