FAQs
What is the Reserve Account?
The Reserve Account earns a rate of 4.50% on balances up to $2,500, and pays out daily. Zero fees. Zero lockup period.

Why should I use the Reserve Account?
The Reserve Account is designed with a hands-off approach in mind. Add money and earn interest. That’s all.

How many bank accounts can I link to my Boost or Reserve Accounts?
Only one bank account may be linked to your Tellus Account. This includes both the Boost and Reserve Accounts.

How does the Reserve Account cap work?
Your Reserve Account can have a balance up to $2,500 (the “cap”). Once this limit is reached, any cash rewards earned are automatically transferred to your Tellus Boost Account.

How do daily payments work?
Cash rewards are automatically added to your Reserve Account every day at 12 AM PST. If a payment would result in a balance that exceeds the account limit, the excess cash is transferred to your Boost Account.

You’ll be able to access the Reserve Account from the Tellus app once you have the latest version installed. You’ll see more information on the home screen.

When can I withdraw my money?
You are free to make withdrawals as soon as your transfers have successfully been processed. This may take 7 business days, although in many cases, your transfer could process as quickly as a day or two.
