Global Credit Union out of Washington state is offering potential customers 6.01% APY in their “eVelocity” checking account.

While this ties for the number 1 spot in BankVibe’s “Top 10 interest checking accounts list,” it comes with some hefty membership restrictions. Mainly, if you don’t live or have family members in Washington state you will likely be declined (to see all of their membership eligibility requirements, click here).
