Qualifying customer-initiated transactions include deposits, withdrawals, M&T Online and Mobile Bill Pay transactions, automatic payments, debit card purchases and payments and direct deposits. Transfers and payments to other accounts at M&T Bank (including loans and lines of credit) are excluded. Reversals of transactions will be netted against the qualifying transactions. Transactions cannot be aggregated across multiple checking accounts for purposes of meeting this requirement. (Note: If your MyChoice Premium Checking has been open for less than one monthly service charge cycle on any day we determine the applicable interest rate, your MyChoice Money Market Account will receive the Premium Interest Rate during the upcoming monthly interest payment cycle.)
