Re: OnJuno
On a balance of $30,000, $645 in interest minus $120?
That doesn't sound terrible.
I guess I can't be one of those people who calls customer service and asks for a North American accent.

I like the idea of a bank with offices in US, India, and Singapore.

Re: OnJuno
I work with a guy from India, and he plans on moving back when he retires. He has been putting tons of money into Indian money markets lately because he is getting like 4-5% interest on cash there. Pretty crazy. What I would do to get a guaranteed risk free 4-5% return on cash???

Re: OnJuno
For a person living in India and planning to spend his money in India then the conversion from dollars earned in US to rupees is worth it. The rupee loses value to the dollar over time. So, on the other hand, if you later plan to convert the rupees back to dollars then you may easily find that you’ve lost the advantage of a higher interest rate.

I hope it does well and encourages competition.
You should be able to find comparable rates with reward checking account.
Depositaccounts.com
I think the cash back on debit card is also great. Looks like good option if you didn't want t have credit cards to juggle cashback.
My concern is if they can continue their rates. I have chased high rate reward checking and then they change their rate after I went through hassle of it all.
