Coulee Bank offers an incredible 6.01% APY with their Rewards Checking account. The rate is easy to earn. All you have to do is make 10 check card transactions a month, use e-statements, and do 1 automatic payment a month (they call it ACH). Coulee Bank pays 6.01% on the first $25,000 and 1.01% on anything above that. The best thing about this account besides the rate is it is FREE, you can apply online, and it is from a great bank with real people that answer the phone. And as they like to say, Banking Green has its Rewards. The Rewards Checking account saves paper and preserves our natural resources. No wonder I feel good about recommending this to everyone I know. Check it out. I guarantee you will love it.

Regarding the overdraft protection, does anyone know if you also have a savings account which you can access with same login, is there still no overdraft protection for your online payment account?

When will this be available to sign up for? I don’t see it anywhere on HSBC’s website.

I wonder if they’ll change their mind and start doing credit checks like ING.

I agree that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep a small amount in the account. I have noticed more HSBC ATMs in my area and the ATM fee refunds would come in handy, too.

I might be able to get rid of my traditional checking account at Wachovia by combining the features of ING Direct and HSBC Direct.

The 3 reimbursements makes this somewhat attractive. I have ING Electric Orange but it would be worth having $120 in here or so in case I’m traveling and need a quick hundred bucks and can’t find an AllPoint ATM nearby. (This happened this weekend actually and I paid a $3.50 fee to take out $80.)

Dammit. I have been waiting for the HSBC Checking to come out and it shows up with whole 2.5% interest. WEAK.
