How Do I Get BIG Interest Checking?

What other benefits come with BIG Interest Checking?
.
MONEY MARKET (Current Interest Rates)
Start earning interest with a balance of at least $500 (maintain $2500 to avoid fees). Interest tiers are stepped at $25K, $100K and $500K. The account is insured by the FDIC.
Money Market transactions are federally regulated to no more than six (6) convenience withdrawals per monthly cycle.
To avoid the limits, consider the following:
- Six (6) or Less of These:
- Checks
- Internet and automatic withdrawals
- Transfers out
- Anytime Line Transfers
- Bill-pay debits
- Unlimited:
- ATM withdrawals
- In-person withdrawals using an “Advice of Charge” slip
Fees: Over-the-limit withdrawals cost $10 each. A balance-requirement fee of $8 per month is imposed unless a current balance of at least $2500 is maintained at all times.
Legislation to raise the withdrawal limit on Money Market accounts to 24 per month has been proposed several times, but never approved. For the time being, the Federal Reserve requires banks to maintain reserves on transaction accounts (i.e. checking), but not on Savings or Money Market accounts. Regulators look closely at the accounts to make sure the transaction limits are being enforced.
Traditional IRA (Current Interest Rates)
Open a State Bank of Southern Utah IRA to earn tax deferred interest. Contributions are generally tax deductible. Certain limits to deductibility apply if you or your spouse are covered by a retirement plan at work. Consult a tax advisor. Penalty-free withdrawals begin at age 59 ½. Withdrawals must start by age 70 ½ to avoid substantial IRS penalties. Talk to your New Accounts representative for details. FDIC insured to $250K per owner per institution. Learn more about IRA's.
ROTH IRA
This is the most exciting investment vehicle to come along in decades. Contribute after-tax dollars into your Roth IRA for as long as you have earned income. Minimum distributions are not required. Leave your money at least 5 years and be at least 59 ½ to make tax and penalty free withdrawals. Talk to your New Accounts representative for details. FDIC insured up to $250K per owner per institution. Learn more about IRA's.
SAVINGS (Current Interest Rates)
Open a savings account today with only $10 and increase the balance by an automatic funds transfer each payday to provide a secure future with this FDIC insured account. Six free withdrawals are permitted per month, then $5 each. ATM withdrawals are not limited.
