Schwab High Yield Checking Account 3.01% APY with a lot of features

Charles Schwab Bank offers a High Yield Checking Account that has a very good set of features.

  • 3.01% APY
  • Free standard checks
  • Zero ATM fees - they refund whatever fees the ATM owner may charge
  • No minimum balance requirement
  • No monthly service fee
  • No direct deposit requirement
  • Free online bill pay
  • FDIC insured about $100,000

So what's not to like? Nothing much, really. This is very similar to the Fidelity's mySmartCash Account I had covered earlier but pays a bit more in interest. The only hiccup - you are also forced to open a Schwab One Brokerage Account that is linked to this checking account. You will also see a hard pull on your credit report.
