We all know that the internet is filled with so much information and while it’s hard to find all the information you’re looking for, we try our best to find informative sites that can help your financial needs. Today, I’m going to tell you a little bit about a cool website I found, checkingfinder.com.
Checking Finder is a fairly new website that has been endorsed countless times by the radio show host, Dave Ramsey who focuses on getting consumers out of debt. Checking Finder is a website dedicated to anyone looking for a high yield checking account. It’s a website that requires little to no work to find the best bank in your area.
Here’s how the website works –
When you approach the site, you will put in your zip code. From there, a list of banks in your area will pop up with the interest rates they are currently offer. Once you find a bank that looks interesting, you can click on the bank icon and view more terms and rates along with reviews. Right now, the website doesn’t have a lot of banks listed on the website but it looks like it very great potential, it’s worth checking out if you’re looking for a great checking rate.


I’m getting really competitive rates with a product called easyGROW Checking at First Bank & Trust. You can go to http://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.
