Customers can securely open a High-Interest Checking account by completing a three-minute process in which they provide basic contact and personal information, including social security number and date of birth. Once opened, customers can fund the account by transferring from a Quontic account, an external account via an ACH transfer, or by using Plaid.

The minimum amount required to open an account is $100.

Quontic Account Features

Account Features - 4.1 / 5

The Quontic High-Interest Checking account offers a 1.10% APY as long two conditions are met, which are:

• A minimum of 10 point-of-sale transactions every month of at least $10 each.
• Maintaining a daily balance between $0.01 and $100,00.00

For balances between $100,000.01 and $250,000, the APY is 0.65%. Balances between $250,000.01 and $1 million is 0.35%.

If the customer does not complete the 10 monthly transactions of $10 each, then the APY for all balances is 0.01%.

The checking account includes a debit card that can be used for purchases or in any of the more than 90,000 ATMs across the country. The account can also be linked to Apple Pay., Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Zelle.

The Quontic Bank mobile app lets customers bank on-the-go with services such as remote check deposits, bill payments, and transfers.

In addition to the High-Interest Checking account, Quontic offers many other financial services including other types of checking accounts (Bitcoin Rewards and Cash Rewards), high-yield savings, money market, certificates of deposit (CDs), and even FHA and VA home loans.
