CheckingFinder: Finds high-yield checking accounts – the higest one!

While most mega-banks pay very little or no interest on checking account these days, you can still get a checking account paying more than 4% interest. The trick? You need to do a certain number of debit card transactions each month(usually minimum 10 times a month). The best place to find such a local or national bank is to go to CheckingFinder.com to locate one.
