Landmark Credit Union offers a premium checking account offers a rate of 7.50% on balances up to $500. To receive this rate you must do the following:
- Be enrolled in eStatements
- Direct a direct deposit of at least $250 per month
On balances over $500 you’ll only earn 0.20% APY. There is also a $100 bonus for opening the account, but unfortunately this looks to be targeted as you need a promotional code.
Our Verdict
7.50% rate makes it sound amazing, but when you realize that’s only a little over $3 in interest a month your enthusiasm will quickly be killed. There are much better high interest savings accounts out there. If you could get the $100 sign up bonus as well then maybe this would be a little bit more interesting, but as it stands this is an easy pass for everybody.
