3.25% Reward Checking Account and 1.85% Online Savings Account at QNB Bank in PA - Local Only
POSTED ON BY Ken Tumin
QNB Bank is offering a high-yield reward checking account called Free eRewards Checking. The account has the following rates and features if certain monthly requirements are met:
Both the reward checking account and the online savings accounts can be opened via the bank's online application. However, in the application you have to provide your zip code, and if your zip code is outside their market area, you won't be allowed to apply. I tried one out-of-state zip code, and it was rejected. I then tried a Philadelphia zip code, and it was also rejected.
Branches are located in Quakertown, PA and in nearby towns.
The bank's ratings for safety and soundness are fair to above average: 3 stars (performing) at Bankrate.com and 4 stars (excellent) at BauerFinancial. Both ratings are based on 6/30/09 financial data. QNB is a FDIC member (FDIC bank finder is down as of the morning of 10/12/09).
