NerdWallet Names Xtraordinary Checking One of 2019’s Top Checking Accounts
After analyzing and comparing the checking accounts at dozens of banks and credit unions, NerdWallet listed Connexus’ Xtraordinary Checking among the top accounts for January 2019.
“To get the most from your checking account, you need low fees, good customer support, and free ATMs nearby,” NerdWallet wrote. “If you earn interest on your cash, even better.”
Connexus hit all the areas mentioned by NerdWallet: no monthly fees, great service, 54,000+ surcharge-free ATMs, and earnings as high as 1.75% APY1. Plus, if you meet the monthly requirements, Xtraordinary Checking also offers $25 in rebates for ATM surcharges2.
