Another mobile pain point: tackled. Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS)
launched T-Mobile MONEY nationwide. It’s a no-fee, interest-earning,
mobile-first checking account that anyone can open and manage right from
their smartphone. With T-Mobile MONEY, eligible Un-carrier customers can
earn an industry-leading 4.00% Annual Percentage Yield (APY)* on
balances up to $3,000 – 50 times higher than the average U.S. checking
account1 – and 1.00 APY% on every dollar over that! Plus
avoid all those big bank fees and overdrafts.

“Traditional banks aren’t mobile-first, and they’re definitely not
customer-first. As more and more people use their smartphones to manage
money, we saw an opportunity to address another customer pain point,”
said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. “You work hard for your money … you
should keep it … and with T-Mobile MONEY, you can!”

Keep More, Earn More

Big banks are built on fees. In 2017, Americans paid $34 billion … in
overdraft fees alone!!2 And that’s just one kind of fee. Bank
of America Advantage Checking has 19 different types of fees, and Wells
Fargo Everyday Checking has 14!3 With T-Mobile MONEY, there
are no fees — no monthly, overdraft or transfer fees, no fees at over
55,000 in-network Allpoint® ATMs worldwide** and no fees from
T-Mobile for using out-of-network ATMs. Also, no minimum balance
requirement!

And, you’ll earn more interest on your money, too. A lot more. T-Mobile
postpaid customers can get 4.00% APY* on balances up to $3,000 and 1.00%
APY on every dollar over $3,000 when they sign up with their T-Mobile ID
and deposit at least $200 each month. Everyone else scores 1.00% APY on
all balances.

Un-carrier postpaid customers can opt-in for Got Your Back overdraft
protection when they sign up for T-Mobile MONEY, so when the unplanned
happens, they can go in-the-red, up to $50, without penalty — just
bring the account back to a positive balance within 30 days.

Banking Built for Mobile

Consumers are outgrowing traditional banks – 7 out of 10 consumers bank
digitally4, and smartphones are the fastest growing digital
platform.5 Yet less than half of traditional banks say they
have a digital strategy6, and only 13% believe their core
systems can keep up with digital innovation.7

T-Mobile MONEY is built to be mobile-first, and you can do all the
things you need to do every day with your checking account right from
the app – make mobile check deposits, set up direct deposit, pay bills,
send a check, pay with a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and
Samsung Pay, transfer money, even make payments person to person. The
app offers biometric security with fingerprint and Face ID login,
account alerts and debit card disabling.

Plus, T-Mobile MONEY comes with a Mastercard® debit card you can use at
more than 55,000
Allpoint ATMs worldwide
– more ATMs than Bank of America, Chase or
Wells Fargo.8 And you can use the T-Mobile MONEY app or web
site to locate the ATM nearest you. Plus, your T-Mobile MONEY Mastercard
offers Mastercard Zero Liability Protection.

T-Mobile MONEY is created in partnership with BankMobile,
a division of Customers
Bank
(Member FDIC), and has been available in a limited pilot since
November 2018. T-Mobile MONEY deposits are FDIC-insured up to $250,000.
Customers can get 24/7 bi-lingual customer service and support with
T-Mobile MONEY Specialists.

* How APY works and what it means for you: As a T-Mobile MONEY customer
you earn 4.00% annual percentage yield (APY) on balances up to and
including $3,000 in your Checking account each calendar month when: 1)
you are enrolled in a qualifying T-Mobile wireless plan; 2) you have
registered for perks with your T-Mobile ID; and 3) you have deposited at
least $200 in qualifying deposits to your Checking account within the
current calendar month. Promotional deposits are not eligible toward the
$200 in deposits. If you meet this deposit requirement in a given month
we will pay you this benefit in the subsequent month as an added value
provided all other requirements are met. This added value is subject to
change. Balances above $3,000 in the Checking account earn 1.00% APY.
The APY for this tier will range from 4.00% to 2.79% depending on the
balance in the account (calculation based on a $5,000 average daily
balance). Customers who do not qualify for the 4.00% APY will earn 1.00%
APY on all Checking account balances for any month(s) in which they do
not meet the requirements listed above. APYs are accurate as of 11/1/18,
but may change at any time at our discretion. Fees may reduce earnings.
For more information, see Account
Disclosures / Terms and Conditions
or go to our FAQs.

** May incur fees from ATM providers when using out-of-network
ATMs or international ATMs and from Mastercard when making foreign
transactions.
