How Maple Q4 Works — Key mechanics

Interest compounds monthly; payout moves to the same linked account. Intro APY applies for the promotional window specified in the agreement.

Maple uses partner banks; deposits are FDIC-insured according to bank rules. Check APY terms for custody model.

*** monthly maintenance for personal plans; business plans may have minimums or tiered fees. Early closure may forfeit bonuses.
