Change In Interest Rates For Checking
3 stars - NP - Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 2:53 PM

As of October 1 2012 the interest rate that DFCU pays on checking accounts changed. Amounts up to $10,000 receive 1% interest (which is great) but any amounts over $10,000 only receive .1%.   I pulled out my money over the $10,000 mark and put it into an ING online checking account which pays .8%.   I am better off but it seems that DFCU might lose access to funds because of this change...
