Anyway, they are way slow in opening the account. It requires an online application, followed by photocopies of IDs, followed by signature card, then funding...and I am still waiting for my account number, etc. They do send polite "status" emails. But it will be a whole month before the account ever gets opened! And now that the rate dropped, I'm not sure I want to continue. I was more pleased with Coulee at 5%. Faster processing of application and I already have my first month's interest in my account. I applied for this account the day before the rate dropped.

"10 check card purchases and one direct deposit or automatic debit payment per month" Also, is a check card purchase simply a purchase with a debit card and is there any associated fee? Finally, I notice that even after a couple of weeks, Redneck Bank is still not accepting new applications.

“10 check card purchases and one direct deposit or automatic debit payment per month”

Also, is a check card purchase simply a purchase with a debit card and is there any associated fee?

Finally, I notice that even after a couple of weeks, Redneck Bank is still not accepting new applications.

This has got to be some sort of record. 4.02% is still pretty good. But it isn't 5.06%. I'll look again. ARGH! This has got to be some sort of record. 4.02% is still pretty good. But it isn’t 5.06%.
