Truth in Savings Act Requirements
Federal law requires banks to disclose APY on deposit accounts to allow consumers to compare returns accurately. APY accounts for compounding frequency, making it the truest measure of earnings.
APY Formula and Compounding
APY = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1, where n = compounding periods per year. Daily compounding (n=365) yields more than monthly (n=12) or annual (n=1) at the same APR.
Marketing Can Be Misleading
Financial institutions often advertise whichever rate looks better: APY for savings products (higher number) and APR for loans (lower number). Always convert to the same metric before comparing offers.
