Checking accounts are now paying interest, almost as high as Certificates of Deposits in some cases. Schwab, Etrade and ING have some pretty good offers. I've found a few www.topcheckingaccounts.com and at www.bankrate.com but that Bankrate has become a bit of mess. The only downside to these accounts, is that none of these banks/brokerages have local or nationwide branches. So you'll probably have to have one of these online checking accounts in conjuntion with a local/nationwide bank. Once it's open though you can setup direct deposit and start earning interest and have cash readily available. -Sam The landscape has really changed here.

The rate is easy to earn. All you have to do is make 10 check card transactions a month, use e-statements, and do 1 automatic payment a month (they call it ACH). Coulee Bank pays 6.01% on the first $25,000 and 1.01% on anything above that. The best thing about this account besides the rate is it is FREE, you can apply online, and it is from a great bank with real people that answer the phone. And as they like to say, Banking Green has its Rewards. The Rewards Checking account saves paper and preserves our natural resources. No wonder I feel good about recommending this to everyone I know. Check it out. I guarantee you will love it. Coulee Bank ( http://www.couleebank.net ) offers an incredible 6.01% APY with their Rewards Checking account. The rate is easy to earn.
