WHY A KASASA CASH CHECKING ACCOUNT?

Kasasa Cash® is a free checking account that pays you 2.00% APY on balances up to $10,000 in the checking account per month [receive 2.00% - 0.32% APY on balances over $10,000, and 0.05% APY if qualification aren't met]. Also receive up to $20.00/per month back on nationwide ATM fees.

In order to qualify for the account rewards, simply do these three things:

  1. Sign up for and log in to online banking at least once per month
  2. Sign up for and receive e-statements
  3. Use your debit card at least 12 times throughout the monthly qualification cycle

If qualifications are not met during the monthly qualification cycle, then you won't receive the rewards for the month. Otherwise, it acts as a FREE checking account.

FREE REWARD SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Our reward checking account can be paired with a Kasasa Saver® account that receives a higher interest rate, as long as you qualify for the rewards that month. Earn up to 0.50% APY if reward qualifications are met, and 0.03% APY if reward qualifications are not met.
