Interest Checking Account: Details

Fear no ATM.

Finally, an interest(ing) checking account online.

Pay bills, make deposits, and access money when you need it. You'll earn a great rate on any amount in your Interest Checking. And, if you keep your balance at or above $15,000 you'll earn even more with a better rate.

Access your money anywhere

  • Use any ATM you want nationwide—no fees

    You can get money from any ATM in the U.S. We won't charge you. And if other banks charge you, we'll reimburse the ATM fees at the end of each statement cycle.

  • Save time—get cash back when you shop

    Many stores give you a free "cash back" option when you pay with your debit card. This gives you thousands of places to access your cash. You'll save time and money too.

  • Free debit card and checks

    Use your debit card to make purchases and get cash. If you need to write checks, we don't have limits on the number you write. Plus, you get Ally standard checks for free with your Interest Checking account.

Manage your money online

  • Pay bills anytime, anywhere

    Pay your bills online with free online bill pay. You can set up one time payments or recurring payments. And you can do it on your own schedule.

  • Make deposits

    It's simple to make deposits to your Interest Checking account online. Scan and submit your deposit from home using Ally eCheck Deposit. Transfer money online between Ally accounts and non-Ally accounts without a fee. Set up Direct Deposit for your paycheck or Social Security for convenience. Wire transfers and mail are great options too. We even provide postage paid envelopes.

  • Balance alerts

    Be the first to know. Set up balance alerts for your Interest Checking account online and we'll notify you when your cash goes above or below your target balance.

  • Transfer money online

    Transfer money between your Ally accounts and accounts that you have at other banks. Online transfers make it simple to make deposits and withdrawals.

  • Online statements

    An easy and environmentally friendly way to organize your money. You make a statement by going green.

  • Overdraft transfer service

    Link an Ally Online Savings or Money Market account to your Interest Checking account. If you exceed your checking balance, we'll automatically transfer available funds in increments of $100 from your savings account to cover the transaction(s)—at no charge to you. Other banks may charge you for this Overdraft Transfer Service. Please note, these transfers will count toward any transaction limits for your savings or money market account.

As a branch-free bank, you transact directly with us online, by phone or by ATM. This keeps our cost of doing business low and our interest higher than traditional banks. We want your money to work for you. So we constantly look for different ways you can save. And we're FDIC-insured, so your money is safe with us.
