Standard Bank and Trust Offers the Top Checking Account Rate – 2.25% APY

Standard Bank and Trust is offering 2.25% interest on its checking account

Imagine a checking account paying 2.25% interest for balances between $1 and $25,000.  Impossible?  Very possible, it seems.

Standard Bank and Trust Company is offering this princely rate to their new My Green checking account holders.

For new accounts, an interest rate of 2.21% (2.25% APY) will be paid for balances under $25,000, while the balance over $25,000 will receive a more pedestrian 0.305% rate (0.31% APY).

It really is that simple and this is about the highest interest rate for a checking account that we know of.
