Probably having to have a direct deposit and ~15 transactions per month to get that rate.

You could look into a credit union instead

This seems fishy to me, are they trying to raise money or something? 5% is above prime.

Tried this with my credit union, no dice. Had my wife go open one in her name.

Mine is at 3.25% on the first 10k now I think. Was higher when I opened the account. That 5% will likely come down at some point.

When they first started their Kasasa Checking account you could have multiple accounts, but I think they have cut that back to only one maybe 2 accounts

I've been getting paid a high rate for several years. They do have several requirements that must be met each month to get the high rate. So many debt card purchases, an auto bill pay and/or direct deposit, use online app at least once a month,....

I have had this account for awhile now and the only time I didn't get the higher rate was when I failed to log into my online account once a month
