[Update] Cheese Checking Account Review: No SSN Required, 0.3-3% APY Savings, Debit Card Rewards
The Cheese Account is a unique checking account, scheduled to launch in early 2020. These are the major highlights of the account: No SSN required to open account. FDIC-insured. No fees. 1% APY interest on money held with Cheese; ability to reach 3% APY with referrals. Up to 1% cashback on debit card transactions. The founder of this product was an international student who ended up paying a lot in fees because of his various transactions. This is what drove him to create the product, so it seems aimed at international students.
