public entities.

    The Earnings2 Checking package offers unlimited transactions, an
earnings credit on balances to offset fees, and monthly interest payments

As a deposit rather than an investment, Earnings2 Checking accounts are federally insured up to $100,000 "and public-fund collateralized accounts are based on individual state requirements," Figueredo said. Interest is calculated monthly. Clients will receive monthly deposit statements and are also eligible for a more detailed monthly account analysis.
