Our Verdict
This is a mid range interest rate, it doesn’t really require a direct deposit so that is a bonus but it does still require the ACH transfer and 12 debit card transactions. Most people will be able to find a better high interesting savings account. All that being said, if somebody does sign up please share your data points in regards to if they allow credit card funding and if it’s a soft pull.

Disregard
last time i applied they denied me due to too many accounts opened, they are inquiry sensitive
I already have a Kasasa checking and saving accounts at a bank. Will they allows me to open another Kasasa account at another bank?
Yes, Kasasa is just the back end and branding.
