MaxEarnings High-Yield Checking FAQs

  • A high-yield checking account is a type of personal bank account that offers higher interest rates than traditional checking accounts, allowing you to earn more on your deposits. These accounts combine the flexibility of standard checking accounts—including the ability to write checks, mobile banking, and use a debit card—with the benefit of earning more interest. They often come with specific requirements such as minimum balance thresholds, a certain number of transactions per month, or direct deposit setup to maintain the higher rate. 

  • For more information on what’s required to earn the highest interest rate on your MaxEarnings high-yield checking, view our “Features” section up above.

  • Whether a high-yield checking account is worth it depends on your ability to meet the account's criteria consistently. For instance, imagine you maintain a balance of $5,000 in a high-yield checking account that offers a 4.89% interest rate. To qualify for this rate, you need to make at least 15 debit card purchases of $5 or more each month, enroll in online statements, and receive at least one direct deposit per statement cycle. 

  • If you naturally meet these requirements through your regular spending and banking behavior, the account can be very beneficial, effectively earning you around $244.50 in interest annually on your $5,000.

  • Unlock the full potential of your money with our tiered high-yield checking account, MaxEarnings. Enjoy an impressive 4.89% interest rate on balances up to $5,000 by simply making at least 15 debit card purchases, enrolling in online statements, and receiving direct deposits each month.
