Just curious is anyone banks at Northpointe Bank in Grand Rapids Michigan? Is the new Ultimate checking just a short term gimmick or it it for real?
Answers

The Ultimate Account product is not a promo rate or a gimmick. Balances up to $5,000 can earn 5.00% APY and balances above $5,000 earn 0.10%. The 2.54% APY disclaimer was based on an account balance of $10,000. Northpointe is committed to this product and rate for as long as possible. Several folks here at Northpointe worked at a previous FI in Michigan that has offered a rewards checking product for years and is popular on this site. We understand the product inside-and-out and you can therefore expect stability in terms of the product and rate. Please let me know if any other questions. Thank you. -Bill Clancy, Northpointe Bank
