<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.key.com/gen/html/mkt-q409-check-free-125.html?sqkl=index_mc09062-q409-check-free-125_smtpb1#checking-account-options-pane" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1044 aligncenter" title="keybank_checking_bonus" src="http://www.thepiggybanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/keybank_checking_bonus.png" alt="keybank checking bonus KeyBank Checking Account Bonus" width="500" height="88" /></a></p>
<p>To get the $125 bonus you need to open the<strong> Key Express Free Checking Account</strong> or <strong>Key Advantage Money Market Checking Account</strong>. The money market account pays an interest rate but it&#8217;s a pretty low rate. After opening the account, you need to make one non pin debit card transaction, as well as two direct deposits or automated payments of $100 or more each.</p>
<p>To get the $225 bonus, you need to open the <strong>Key Privilege Checking Account </strong>or the <strong>Key Privilege Select Chcking Account</strong>. The difference here is that these checking accounts include a lot more services and also come with higher minimum balances and requirements to avoid paying a monthly fee. These could be considered &#8220;full service&#8221; checking accounts that you should open if you&#8217;re looking to use Key Bank as your primary bank.</p>
<p>After opening the checking account, you must make one non pin debit card transaction as well as two direct deposits or automated payments of $100 or more each.</p>
<p>You can open accounts online, but this offer is not available nationwide. Key Bank serves customers in 14 states, including AK, CO, CT, ID, IN, KY, ME, MI, NY, OH, OR, UT, VT, and WA. Key Bank is FDIC insured. This offer ends on 11/20/2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>State Farm is well known for their <a href="http://www.thepiggybanker.com/insurance/">insurance</a> division, but they also have offer banking services through State Farm Bank, which does not have physical branches and is primarily an online bank, with direct customer interaction through state farm agents.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-982 aligncenter" title="statefarmbank" src="http://www.thepiggybanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/statefarmbank.png" alt="statefarmbank State Farm Bank CDs, Savings, Checking Rates" width="500" height="93" /></p>
<p>State Farm has <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statefarm.com/bank/bank_accnts/cds/fixrate.asp" target="_blank">various CDs </a>with terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years. Their rates are semi-competitive, with the top rates for the 4 and 5 year terms at 2.25% APY and 3.15% APY respectively. According to the disclosure, the early withdrawal penalty is 180 days of interest on the principal withdrawn. Jumbo CDs are also available, with slightly higher rates than the regular certificate of deposits.</p>
<p>In addition, State Farm Bank also offers a money market account with a 1.90% APY but only on yields over 100,000. Balances of 25,000 &#8211; 49,999 yield 1.46%, and balances of 50,000 &#8211; 99,000 yield 1.55%.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-981 aligncenter" title="statefarm checking" src="http://www.thepiggybanker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/statefarm-checking.gif" alt="statefarm checking" width="415" height="82" /></p>
<p>State Farm&#8217;s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statefarm.com/bank/bank_accnts/chkingaccnt/int_chkg.asp" target="_blank">interest checking account</a> has a 1.55% APY on balances over $2,500. Minimum opening deposit is $100, and there&#8217;s a $10 monthly fee for average daily balances under $500. This checking account may not seem too competitive, but it&#8217;s not bad if you compare it to 1% at Charles Schwab or 0.50% at ING Direct.</p>
<p>You can apply for any of these bank accounts online, but a printer is required, as you will be required to print, sign and mail the application to State Farm along with your initial deposit. You may also apply for an account by contacting State Farm Bank toll-free at 1-877-SF4-BANK (1-877-734-2265) or by contacting a participating State Farm agent.</p>
