MainStreet Bank (VA) Has Nationally Available Kasasa Cash
Note:It is completely fortuitous that within four days I would be writing about two separate institutions with very similar names, both having Kasasa Cash accounts that are available nationally. To avoid any confusion, this blog post is about MainStreet Bank (based in Virginia) and the earlier post was about Main Street Bank (based in Michigan).
