Check into Independent Bank's Rewards Checking. The bank is based in McKinney, TX with branches in and around the Dallas, Waco, and Austin areas. They pay 2.01% APR up to $25K on Free Rewards Checking accounts. Qualifications require only 8 Debit Card transaction, on ACH payment or Direct Deposit, as well as eStatements. Rewards Checking can be linked to a Savings account where your monthly interest rolls from your Checking to your Savings account (if you choose) I live in Texas, so I don't know if you must be a resident of Texas to apply for one of these accounts?

Hi Ron, Thank you for the information regarding Bank of Gloucester. We have verified that currently all accounts must be opened in person and have updated the institution details for each account. Bank of Gloucester also confirmed accounts are not limited to local area or state residents and are hopeful to provide the ability to open accounts online soon.
Ron Lee

Bank of Gloucester was listed as Open to all states. But when I spoke to them they said you have to go in in person to open an account. So, unless you are willing to travel a considerable distance, the account is really not Open to all states.

Hi Hugo, From your comment about rewards checking it is not clear what financial institution you are referring to. I am guessing you are commenting about Consumers Credit Union. We currently have the membership area listed as Illinois however we will have our researchers verify that the rewards checking product is in fact available nationwide. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Roger, To open a rewards checking account at Coppermark Bank one must reside in Oklahoma or Texas, which we list in the column labeled State. As far as opening the account in person, thanks so much for alerting us, we will make any necessary notations on our site.
Maria - MoneyRates Moderator
25 March 2012 at 5:13 pm
Hi Joannie G. The column labeled State indicates where a person must reside in order to open a rewards checking account for each financial institution listed. Based on comments that we have received, the intent of the State column may not be clear to visitors to our site, so I will see what we can do to remedy that. In the meantime we listed the residential requirements for CapEd in the notes section, I hope that helps. Thanks for letting us know!

Membership required, 4% APY, $15,000 max, 10 debit card or ACH transactions/mo, 4 online log-ins/mo, and direct deposit required. Can open in person or online. My husband and I have each had one of these accounts. We have fully funded them up to the maximum, and use them together as our emergency fund. We direct deposit $100/mo into each of them, and follow our "10 under 10" rule - we make 10 debit card transactions under $10 each month so that we don't exceed our $100 monthly deposit - this way we don't spend our emergency fund dollars yet continue to be eligible for the 4% APY. We love LMCU! www.lmcu.org Katie

I opened my account in June of 2010 and absolutely love it. BankTexas, NA is offering 3.25% apy on their myCash checking account. 3.25% apy applies to the first $10,000 in the account and any balance over $10,000.00 earns .14% apy. There are no maximum or minimum balance requirements. They ask for a minimum of a $50.00 deposit to open the account. To earn maximum interest rate and ATM fee refunds of up to $25 per monthly qualification cycle, the following qualifications should be met: (1) 10 debit card purchases must post and clear the account. Transactions may take one or more business days from the transaction date to post to an account from the date the transaction is made. (2) 1 direct deposit or 1 ACH auto debit most post and clear the account. Intra-bank transfers do not count as qualifying ACH transactions. Limit one account per holder. Bank may convert to Simplicity account if the account is not used as a primary checking account. (3) Enroll in e-Statements. There are no monthly service fees. Initial debit card, automated telephone service and online banking are available at no charge. If you do not meet one of the 3 qualifiers, there is no penalty, but your average daily collected balance will only earn .11% apy and will not get the ATM fee reversal.

One minor, one major correction: 1) Southern Missouri Bank is now named Southern Bank 2) ALWAYS obtain the correct rate for rewards or interest checking for, in this case, Rocky Mountain Bank (presently 4.01% with a $20K cap) by starting the search from their homepage.
