Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association Rate and Fee Schedule
Rates
Overview
- The ability to earn interest, and rates offered, vary by product.
- 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 can change as often as daily, at our discretion, without prior notice to you.
Current Rates
- 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 over $10,000,000 and all commercial deposits over $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).
- 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.
Minimum Deposits
- There is no minimum initial deposit required to open an account.
- However, your account must be funded within 30 days to remain open.

- Automatic Renewals: Unless we provide otherwise, CDs will automatically renew at maturity, at the prevailing interest rate for new CD accounts of the same term length as of the date of maturity. You will have a grace period of 7 calendar days after the maturity date to make a full redemption without penalty, which you can do by logging into your account at www.etrade.com, and access it via Banking > Account Details > Summary or calling Customer Service at 800-387-2331. If you make the withdrawal outside of the grace period, we will impose an Early Withdrawal penalty. In certain circumstances, such as the death or incompetence of an Account holder, we may agree to waive the early withdrawal penalty.
- Interest Accrual Post-Maturity: Interest will accrue during the grace period at the prevailing interest rate for CD accounts of the same term length as of the maturity date. If you close the account during the grace period, interest will accrue past the maturity date through the last full day prior to the account closure. We reserve the right to change the interest rate for automatically renewable accounts at each renewal period. If we elect not to permit the renewal of an automatically renewable time deposit, we will notify you 30 days in advance.
