Question

Are all checking account in any bank not interest bearing?

Answer 1

Most banks have checking accounts that earn interest.  However, you usually need to keep a minimum balance to avoid being charged any fees.  The fees are usually more than the interest being earned.  The interest rates are not that good, usually less than 1%.

If you get an online bank account, the interest rates are usually better.  You should do some research to see what kind of fees are charged.

Answer 2

MOST OF THEM DO BU THEY ARE AT LESS THAN 1%. THE ONE ON MY CHASE ACCOUNT IS ONLY 0.5%

Answer 3

I earn 2% at my credit union for checking, try a credit union instead of a bank.**  To Nerdyrob below, on your last question you answered you said that you are only 13, so you are 13 years old and have a checking account????  ** Actually, I just checked my account on-line, and I forgot that we get 6% interest on the first $500 in the account, then 2.00% for any money above that.  There is no minimum account balance for our checking account, no fees.
