First New England Credit Union – 5.15% Interest Checking Account
First New England Federal Credit Union of Vernon, Connecticut has two impressive checking accout products available to it’s customers as of the 1st of this month. The first is a high interest rate reward checking account yielding an APY of 5.15% APY!
First New England Federal Credit Union is fairly exclusive as far as new members go. If you live outside of Connecticut than they say you must either have a family member banking with them, become a friend of Lucky Robbins Welles Library (?) or contact their business development representative.

Their second checking account is equally impressive and is ideal for customers looking to maintain higher checking account balances. First New England Federal Credit Union is offering a “Platinum Rewards Checking Account” yielding an APY of 4.01% on all balances of between $40,000 and $50,000. If your balance exceeds $50k then you will earn an APY of 2.0%. However, if you think your balance may drop below $40k then I would opt for the first high interest checking account as you will only recieve 0.10% interest on balances below $40k with this one.
