Our Take
North One quietly turned into a real interest-checking contender: up to 2.50% free is in Bluevine territory, and the unlimited Envelopes are great for owners who think in buckets. The weak spots are structural: standard $250k FDIC, no international wires, and a support reputation that lags the rate. A good primary account for domestic service businesses, with eyes open on the freeze complaints.
Best for: Service businesses that want free interest checking with envelope budgeting
