High Interest Checking
Your money should always be working for you, which is why you should get a high interest checking account.
The vast majority of banks give you a checking account which earns 0%. Although not a lot of people do this, but some people keep thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars in their checking account earning them nothing. Even though a couple percent might not seem a lot, it does add up over time.
Having a high interest checking account is actually not that hard to get, and although the majority of old, big banks do not give you any interest, there are some that do. A large number of the internet banks give great interest rates on their savings, and on their checking accounts. Some banks like Wells Fargo, BofA, and many more give you less than 1% for your money that is sitting in the savings account. It is amazing how these banks will try to sell you to open an account and put all your money into an account that is earning nothing.
High interest checking should be a free account, and usually there should not be any sort of minimums that you have to hold in the account to keep it open.
