Over the years, many banks have offered "free checking accounts" to their customers, but the truth is, "free checking" can mean different things for different banks. So, even with so-called "free checking accounts," you may end up paying ATM fees, official check fees, wire fees, transaction fees and so on. In addition, while some banks offer interest checking, they may also have monthly maintenance fees or minimum balance requirements.

We think choosing a checking account should be an easy and straightforward process. With the Ally Bank Interest Checking Account, you pay no monthly maintenance fees and get a range of valuable features like free standard checks, a free debit card and free bill pay. And Ally Bank consistently offers among the most competitive rates in the country.

It all adds up to checking that may beat many so-called "free checking accounts," hands-down. Learn more by visiting Allybank.com or call live, 24/7 customer care at 877-247-ALLY (2559) today.
