I found a credit union here that has 6.01% on checking, with no minimum. That doesn't seem normal?

Introductory rate that will only be guranteed for 30-days?

That is unusually high though as its not easy to find a 4% CD these days.

I recall a ton of people in EVE Online were putting EVE money (whatever it's called) into an online bank that some guy made, and in some cases people were dumping thousands of USD worth of the stuff into this bank for the promise of high returns (10%+). I read an article about him, he walked away a millionaire and all of those people got screwed :p

They do that in WoW already, it's called a guild bank.

Its NCUA insured...the credit union version of FDIC. Says the rates can "vary with the market" but will be 6.01% until at least June.

No minimum, 6.01% up to 40,000, something like 2.85% after that.

I feel like I'm misunderstanding something.. if there were no maximum that might be strange. But I've had this for years. BECU

edit: wow up to 40,000 is different than me.. nevermind.
