Lots of people do not think to check the interest rates on their checking accounts, both when they open it and periodically (remember, banks can change their rates so you should be sure to monitor your account). If you regularly keep a balance in your account, and your Blacksburg bank does not offer a high interest rate, you could be missing out on a great money-making opportunity. You don’t want to be the person that is being left out in the cold while everyone is taking advantage of great rates on their accounts.
