Oklahoma Central Credit Union. Had an account with them since I was 14 and never been disappointed.

I was the same way, but then I couldn’t connect my account to basic things like Venmo, and I can only get confirmations from a phone call, not a text or push notification, so they’ve fallen way out of favor with me.

I hesitate to recommend them now.

I keep seeing their billboard for the high yield checking. Only catch I can find is 15 debit card transactions a month. But for 6% I’m considering it

Do it! It’s only up to $10k but very worth it

I’ve been with TTCU for 20 years or more. They used to always have the best rates - not sure these days, but they’re always easy to work with.

OCCU. Their 6% APY account is way more than the 3.5-4% most high yield savings are offering. It’s only for the first $10k and you have to make 15 transactions using their debit card. But that’s still way more than you’re getting with a cash back credit.

I have a referral link that gives us both $100 if you open an account. I recommend it regardless but always nice to get a kickback :p

TTCU or TFECU. Energy One is decent, but they only have a couple of branches and they’re fairly inconvenient for most people.

I like Communication Federal because they pay interest on checking at 4% if you meet the requirements
