Scroll

Our rewards checking and savings program is getting a tune-up!

On December 1st, 2024, we’re rebranding our accounts with new names and bringing you some exciting program enhancements! See below for highlights and details. During this transition, your accounts and cards will work without interruption. There will be no changes to your debit card, account number, or checks.




New Names, Same Value

While our rewards accounts are getting new names and some enhancements, your core benefits are staying the same.

  • Kasasa Cash Back → Boost Spending
  • Kasasa Cash → Lift Checking
  • Kasasa Cash+ → Lift+ Checking
  • Kasasa Saver → Lift Savings
  • NEW! Lift Business Checking

Why Lift Checking?

Kalsee was founded in 1954 by employees of National Water Lift company (now Parker Hannafin). Our original name was Lift Line Credit Union, after a product line of National Water Lift company. The name we’ve selected for our interest bearing rewards checkings and savings honors our roots and aspiration to lift the financial wellness of our members and community.


A Sweeter Saver Deal

We’re sweetening the deal on the newly renamed Lift Savings account!

  • 1.00% APY* on up to $30,000 (currently $50,000)
  • 2.00% APY* on the portion of your balance over $30,000.01 (currently 1.50% APY)

Monthly Qualification Cycle

To make life simpler, the monthly qualification cycle on all Lift rewards checkings and savings and Boost Spending will be the calendar month (currently one day prior to open of the statement cycle through one day prior to its close).


Note that as we make this transition, transactions posted on November 30, 2024 will not count towards either November or December qualifications. We apologize for this inconvenience.



Credit Card Transactions Count Towards Qualifications

To reward you for a deeper relationship with us, Kalsee credit card transactions will also count towards your monthly transaction qualifications! Make any combination of debit and/or credit card purchases (of at least $5) to meet your account’s specified card transaction qualification requirements. Also, direct deposits coming in to any account in the membership will count towards your Lift+ Checking $1,000 (aggregate) direct deposit requirement.


Online Banking Transaction Counter

In December, you’ll see a transaction counter in online banking to help you meet your account’s transaction qualification requirements.

**For Lift Checking, Boost Spending, and Lift+ Checking accounts, you may qualify for monthly rewards if you meet the applicable minimum qualification requirements for the monthly qualification cycle. To meet the minimum qualification requirements for Lift Checking, and Boost Spending, you must a) make 12 debit card or credit card purchases that post and settle to your account; b) access Online Banking at least one time per month; and c) be enrolled in and receive e-statements. To meet the minimum qualification requirements for Lift+ Checking, you must a) make 24 debit or credit card purchases that post and settle to your account; b) access Online Banking at least one time per month; c) be enrolled in and receive e-statements; and d) have an aggregated minimum of $1,000.00 in direct deposits into any suffix of your Kalsee account. Lift Savings, Lift Checking, Boost Spending, and Lift+ Checking accounts are limited to one account per primary member’s Social Security Number. Lift Checking, Boost Spending, and Lift+ Checking accounts are intended to be your primary checking account in which payroll transactions and day-to-day spending activities, including but not limited to grocery, gasoline, apparel, shopping, dining, sporting and entertainment transactions, are posted and settled. Commensurate with the spending activities identified above, we expect the account’s debit or credit card to be used frequently throughout each month and for transaction amounts to reflect a wide dollar range. Any debit or credit card purchase transaction(s) totaling $4.99 or below completed during the monthly qualifications cycle will not be considered normal, day-to-day spending behavior. These types of transactions appear to be conducted with the sole purpose of qualifying for the account’s rewards and thus will be deemed inappropriate transactions and will not count toward earning the account’s rewards. Kalsee Credit Union reserves the right to determine if the account is being maintained for a purpose other than day-to-day, primary use. Accountholders who persist in making debit card transactions in a calculated and limited fashion in order to meet their monthly qualifications may have their accounts converted to a different checking account or closed altogether. We also reserve the right to convert the account to a different checking account if the account does not have consistent active use over three consecutive statement cycles. We have the right to close this account at any time, with proper notice. Our decision to close the account will not affect your existing obligations to us including any obligation to pay fees or charges incurred prior to termination. No deposits will be accepted, and no checks will be paid after the account is closed. If the account is closed, you will forfeit any rewards that have not been credited to your account. A Kalsee Credit Union check for the remaining balance, if applicable, will be mailed to accountholder at the address indicated on our current records. Upon termination of your Lift or Boost account, any optional add on products / services associated with this account will also be terminated at the same time.
