2.84% Reward Checking Account at a Colorado Bank (Integrity Bank & Trust)

Update 11/22/09: The yield has fallen to 2.84% APY. Refer to the bottom of the post for the rate history.

Integrity Bank & Trust is offering a reward checking account that pays 2.84% APY on balances up to $50,000 (0.75% for above) and refunds ATM fees (up to $25 per month) if the following monthly requirements are met: 1) 10 debit card purchases, 2) one direct deposit or ACH auto debit, and 3) receive electronic statements. If these are not met, the rate falls to 0.20%. There are no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements.

The bank only lists a few details of this rewards checking account on its home page, so I called yesterday for the details. According to the CSR, a branch visit is required to open the account. Branches are located in Colorado Springs and Monument. The bank was established in 2003 and is a member FDIC (Certificate # 57587).

Thanks to the reader who mentioned this reward checking in the finding-the-best-deals post.
