The Home Of High Interest Checking
When you hear about high interest checking accounts you're normally waiting for the other shoe to drop. There's usually a catch like enormously high deposit requirements or unreasonable penalties if you don't meet the monthly requirements.
I found a checking account at a credit union in my town that offers a big rate with small requirements and they are probably one of the best kept secrets around. I was suprised that I didn't have to give up any of my debit card or online banking services to go with a credit union versus a big bank.
I can recommend Beacon if you live in their service area.

The only reason they got 1 star is because I had to review
