How the Kasasa Cash Compares
There are only three Reward Checking Accounts (RCA) available within the FOM that have maximum qualifying balances of at least $50k, which makes an accurate comparison a bit wonky. Therefore, when compared to the 65 High Yield RCAs tracked by DepositAccounts.com that are available within the FOM and have maximum qualifying balances of at least $25k, Neighborhood Credit Union’s Kasasa Cash APY currently ranks first.
