Radius Hybrid Checking from Radius Bank is a free, high-interest checking account that lets you earn 0.85% APY on balances of $2,500 or more. For context, that's 20x more than the national average of 0.04%.

Combining the flexibility of a checking account with the high-interest earning of a savings account, Radius Bank's Hybrid Checking account has a competitive interest rate that isn't introductory — unlike other banks that tout high rates but bury strict stipulations or quick expiration dates in the fine print.

On top of all that, Radius Bank doesn't charge any monthly fees, comes with built-in budgeting tools, and has free ATM access anywhere in the world. Awesome.

Here's a rundown of the goods:

• 0.85% Annual Percentage Yield on balances of $2,500+
• No monthly fees
• Free ATM access worldwide
• Convenient mobile banking
• Free financial management tools
• Free app to manage your debit card

Interested? You can open up a new account in less than 5 minutes.
