EverBank Performance Checking pays a flat 0.25% APY on every balance tier EverBank lists, from $0 to $9,999.99 up to $100,000 and above, with rates accurate as of 11/13/2026. There are no qualification rules to track, a $0 monthly maintenance fee and no EverBank ATM fees. EverBank also pays back fees other banks charge at their ATMs: without a cap on accounts with a minimum balance of $5,000, and up to $15 a month below that. The account includes bill pay, Zelle, mobile check deposits and debit card protection, and it can be opened by phone or at financial centers in Florida and California. It takes $100 to open. The rate is the reason it sits low in this ranking: 0.25% is a quarter of what Axos pays with a single direct deposit. It fits best for people who already keep savings at EverBank and want checking under the same roof.
