Security State Bank's Kasasa product line is now available to Kansas residents only. The Kasasa Cash account currently earns 3.00% APY on qualifying balances up to $10k. Qualifying balances of $10k+ earn 0.25% APY, with non-qualifying balances earning 0.01% APY.

UPDATE 7/28/17 Unfortunately, my cautionary note seems to have been prescient.
Note: Security State Bank is a recent addition to DepositAccounts.com. While I would normally caution DA readers about small banks offering nationally available products, I have written assurance from Security State Bank that “we will accept new customers nationwide.”
