Checking Accounts in Carmel: Earn 4.05% - 1st Source

Ideal for:

  • Households or professionals who maintain $50,000+ in cash for flexibility (taxes, projects, travel, big purchases).
  • Savers who want one account that earns and spends.
  • Anyone who’s been parking CD money but wants easier access without giving up yield.
  • Money Market account owners who are tired of limited transactions and want full checking functionality.

Why choose this over a CD or Money Market?

Keep your freedom

CDs tie up your money, but this account keeps it in your hands.

  • No lockups, no early withdrawal penalties. Move money when you need it—pay bills, transfer, or spend on your debit card without breaking a term or paying a fee.
  • Stay opportunistic. If markets move or a purchase pops up, you don’t have to wait for a CD to mature.

Day-to-day usability

Money Markets limit access, while this is true everyday banking.

  • Full checking functionality. Debit card, Bill Pay, and direct access to cash.  Your “high-yield” money is also your “ready-to-use” money.
  • Fewer hoops. No juggling separate savings/MMAs for yield and checking for spending: consolidate and simplify.

Earn more on the cash you keep handy

If you regularly maintain $50,000+, this account lets your reserve cash pull its weight at 4.05% without sacrificing convenience.

Perks designed for everyday life

ATM fee rebates (limits apply), monthly service fee waived with qualifying balance, and powerful digital tools to manage your money.

Stay flexible as rates shift

Interest rates move. CDs lock you in, but this checking account helps you capture today’s opportunities while allowing you to pivot as your plans change.

What you get beyond the rate

  • Use your debit card and mobile tools for daily spending—no extra steps moving money around.
  • Get ATM fee rebates* once your account hits the eligibility mark.
  • Skip monthly service fees when you keep the minimum daily balance.
  • Stay protected with Zero Liability, card on/off controls, and free credit score monitoring in the app.
  • Count on real people at 70+ local branches for in-person support when you need it.
  • FDIC insured up to applicable limits.
