I’m getting really competitive rates with a product called easyGROW Checking at First Bank & Trust. You can go to www.easyGROWchecking.com for the info (including the current interest rate); but to summarize, it is a free high-yield account that also offers ATM fee refunds when I meet the three qualifications: using my debit card at least ten times, receiving e-Statements, and having a least one direct deposit or automatic payment each cycle. I do all of those things anyway, so it’s been really easy for me to qualify…and they send me an email each month to let me know if I met the qualifications. I have to admit, I love not having to worry about whether or not an ATM is on my network, and the interest is already starting to add up. It only takes $100 deposit to open the account, and there is no minimum balance.

Smarty Pig just announced, they are lowering their rate from 3.05% to 2.75%. Still a good rate, but I think it won't be long, and they will just keep lowering the rates like the others.

smarty pig has the best rate if you can stand all the unecessary questions like what are you saving for,how much do you expect to save etc.
