A Santa of a checking account

It’s early December, and you’re combing through online deals, hitting the outlets for weekend sales and trying to track down the perfect gifts for all of your friends. While I respect your generous spirit, it’s time to give yourself something, too: cash!

If you’re keeping your money at a bank that isn’t paying you any interest, there are a few Santa Claus-esque institutions out there that continue to offer high-yield checking accounts. Here are a few of the best high-yield deals on the market:

BankTexas: Don’t let the name fool you. You don’t have to live in Texas to take advantage of this offer: 3.25% APY on balances below $10,000.

Cross Keys Bank: This institution gives you something to celebrate this holiday season: 2.75% APY on balances below $20,000.

Community Bank of Raymore: Don’t know where Raymore is? Well, that makes two of us. However, this small bank offers some big earnings potential with 2.5% APY on balances below $25,000.

These are just three of the offers I stumbled upon in my search for some above-average interest rates, and there are plenty more. So take a break from looking for presents for other people, and get into the warm…
