Our Take
If you run your sales through Square, the checking account is close to mandatory: instant settlement without the 1.75% fee pays for itself on day one. The savings layer at 3.50% over $10k is a legitimately good rate. It is a closed loop though. The moment your revenue does not flow through Square, almost every reason to use it disappears.
Best for: Square sellers who want instant, free access to their sales
