Redneck Bank Account Reviews

Redneck Bank Rewards Checkin' Account - Product Name Only

The Redneck Bank Rewards Checkin' Account - Product Name Only is an interest-earning online checking account. Its current rate is Redneck Bank Rewards Checkin' Account - APY APY — much higher than the national rate of just FDIC National Deposit Checking Rates - APY APY. To open an account, you'll need a minimum opening deposit of Redneck Bank Rewards Checkin' Account - Minimum Deposit, though there's no minimum balance or monthly fees required after that.

You'll earn the highest APY by maintaining a balance of $15,000 or less and keeping your account active. Your account is "active" each statement period that you log at least 10 transactions — excluding ATM withdrawals. Your rate goes down on balances over $15,000. If you fail to have 10 transactions in a given period, your interest rate drops even lower for that month. Interest is compounded and credited to your account monthly. 

While account holders can technically use ATMs worldwide, machines not owned by All America Bank are subject to fees. Redneck Bank will refund up to $25 (in total) of these fees each month.

Redneck Bank Money Market Account - Product Name Only

Redneck Bank also offers a money market account, which pays Redneck Bank Money Market Account - APY APY. You'll earn the highest rate on balances up to $100,000.

There are Redneck Bank Money Market Account - Fees Display or minimum balances requirements, though you do need an initial deposit of at least Redneck Bank Money Market Account - Minimum Deposit. You can also make up to six free transactions per month; after that, transfers and transactions cost $5 each. 

As with Redneck Bank's rewards checking account, interest is compounded and credited to your account monthly.

How Redneck Bank Compares

Redneck Bank vs. Axos Bank

Redneck Bank and Axos Bank both offer high-yield checking accounts. Like Redneck, Axos' account comes with no monthly service fees and no balance minimums. Axos does require a Axos Bank Rewards Checking - Minimum Deposit minimum deposit, but that's significantly lower than Redneck's Redneck Bank Rewards Checkin' Account - Minimum Deposit requirement.

The big difference between the two lies in the interest rates. Redneck pays a higher rate on its checking account, and a significantly higher rate on its money market account.
