Great Rate, Rough Online Presence
4 stars - ctgottapee - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - 6:24 AM

 a note for anyone chasing rates on their rewards checking:
Their online banking system has to be one of the most archaic I've ever encountered. It is about 20 years from the past, and features a hodge podge of 3 rd party modules for bill payment and statements.

If you are there to make your purchases and get your rewards, you can live with it, but making it your actual bank would be unlikely for anyone more civilized.
Bank to Bank transfers don't exist but you can trick bill payment into letting them out bound through, although they take longer as it requires the receiving bank to do some manual legwork to match it up to your account.

I was able to sign up via postal mail fairly easily. First month reward requirements are waived, so you may want to time your account opening towards the first of the month as it may take a bit for your direct deposit to transfer. If you sign up the last week of the month, that is your waived month, and doing it through the mail takes longer so you may have trouble getting everything set up by the next month.
