It’s important to state that many of the smaller community banks ONLY SERVE THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY. They do not offer high interest checking account to anyone who does not have and cannot prove a connection to the community that the bank serves. I have not found this information listed as one of the qualifications on any of the sites that recommend high interest banking, including yours. I learned it the hard way, by calling the banks themselves.

I definitely agree about going to local banks. They provide more customer services than any large bank chain ever could. The small banks need the money and will give out more incentives in order to gain a larger customer base. The larger banks could care less and will not hesitate to hit you with all types of fees and charges.
