Little confusing: their latest email says:

"If you already have funds in this account …

Enjoy the rate increase to 3.25%!

DUCA increased the rate on this offer a few times since its launch in the Fall of 2021."

Their website says:
"3.25%
Conditions apply

Earn More Savings Promotion

Maintain maximum flexibility with this high interest savings account. You can deposit and withdraw whenever you need. New deposits only."

and
"Eligible deposits must be new money deposited at DUCA from a new or existing Member. Money already on deposit at DUCA in the form of a term deposit, savings/chequing account, or other investment is not an eligible deposit."

I'm still showing 3.1% too.

No panicking as I'm sure they'll fix it.

Hmm... I wonder if this due to the MB CU merger... 🙂

Still 3.1 for moi, aussi
(Didn't get any email, but that's also true of previous raises)
The last raise, for sure, took a day or two before showing up on my account page

You might want to login @ DUCA to check your profile for correct contact info.

Or, maybe your Spam folder ...

When I reported at 6PM yesterday,

"I'm still showing 3.1% too. No panicking as I'm sure they'll fix it."

it was as I saw it in Account Details.

At 4AM today, it now shows 3.25% as I expected it would eventually ...

That’s what I like about them. No BS like new money only.
Duca is on top of my list when it comes to CU right now.

Nice to know they do not exclude "existing " funds. Is there a limit however on how much can be in the account at the top interest rate?

dont know, but I only put upto $250k anyway which is the insured limit.
So its not as low as $100k in terms of promo rate cap like some other FI does.

Yes, showing 3.25% now. I am on the phone to move more fund to this 3.25% account and have been waiting for 30 minutes. This phone practice for moving funds is a terrible idea.

Instead of listening to that one 30 second music track on continuous loop, you can accept the call-back. It does work. They call back and you don't loose your place in the line. I did that this morning. 40 minutes later they called while I was in the pool ...

Any guesses on how long this "promotion" will last? No details on the website.

It's open-ended since Dec 2021 I think, with rates steadily increasing.
