Checking
These days banks and credit unions are able to offer you almost the same features and conveniences.
Yet, you should know answers to the basic questions, like, “What’s the minimum balance?” and “What fees are associated with the account?” So let’s go through that to start:
Our Checking accounts check all the boxes
| Basic Checking | Premium Checking | Kasasa Cash | Kasasa Cash Back | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opening Deposit | $25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 |
| Minimum Balance | $0 | 1,000.00* | $0 | $0 |
| Per Item Charges | None | None | None | None |
| Dividends | None | Yes | None | APY between 0.05% and 3.00% |
| Monthly Maintenance | $0 | $8.00* | $0 | $0 |
| Overdraft Protection | No | Yes | No | No |
* For premium accounts, the minimum balance requirement can be met with combined balances for all deposit accounts. If the aggregate balance exceeds $1,000.00 there is no monthly fee.
