POSTED ON BY

Bluegrass Community Bank has a high-yield reward checking account called ABC Checking. The account has the following rates and features if certain monthly requirements are met:
  • 4.07% APY on balances up to $25,000
  • 0.40% APY on portion of balance over $25,000
  • 0.15% base rate if requirements are not met
  • Refunds ATM fees nationwide without limit
The monthly requirements include:
  • 10 Visa debit card purchases
  • 1 direct deposit or automatic payment
  • Receive e-statements
Additional features of the account regardless of the monthly requirements include:
  • $100 minimum initial deposit
  • No minimum balance requirement
  • No monthly service charge
  • Two free boxes of checks per year
There's an online application at the bank's micro-website. However, the application makes it look like you'll need to come into a branch to complete the application process. The bank is located in Danville, Kentucky. In the bank's location page they provide directions on driving to the branch from Lexington, Louisville and Bowling Green.

It's a new bank that was just established in March 2009. Thus, it doesn't yet have any ratings for safety and soundness. It's a FDIC member (FDIC Certificate # 58848).
