Evan – Did you not see the large banner on the right side of their home page promoting their rewards checking account with the 3.82% rate featured?

I searched for a community bank WITH a high interest rate. I found three in our location and picked FirstBank as being best for us.

Horrible website lol I can’t find the interest rate? Regardless, the question is I guess I have is, did you search out a community bank or did you search for a community bank WITH a high interest?

One other thing you forget.

Low rates and higher risk not withstanding, you can’t overlook the tax free income.

Taxes are going UP next year and muni’s will be in demand.

Local banks offering rewards checking accounts are beating out the big name internet banks. I’m getting 3.61% with a local bank if I have 10 debit card transactions, online statements, and 1 direct deposit or ACH debit. No brainer — over 3x the rate of ING.
