Our Verdict
Might be an option worth considering for people that are able to generate a lot of debit card transactions easily, but can’t do direct deposits. That being said most people will be better off putting those debit card transactions on a credit card and sticking with a different high yield savings account.
Hat tip to reader Clyn6
This is 2.5% and 1% now
So there are now *2* Indiana banks with the 50+ debit card thing. lol SMH
What’s with the increase in reward accounts expecting 50+ debit card purchases? They can’t be serious… Also not federally insured. What a joke
Please erase uneducated and dumb people’s comments. FCU’s (Federal Credit Unions) are insured just like banks, $250,000. Never heard of it? It is called National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. http://www.ncua.gov
