T-Mobile Launches a No-Fee, Interest-Earning Checking Account
April 18, 2019 
Written By Bill Hardekopf T-Mobile is making its way into the banking world. Today, the “Un-carrier” unveiled its new no-fee, interest earning checking account.
With T-Mobile MONEY, account holders can earn 4% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on balances up to $3,000. All account funds after that earn 1% APY, which is still much higher than the average checking account in America.
Featured Prepaid Card
NetSpend® Visa® Prepaid Card

Top Features:
No late fees or interest charges because this is not a credit card it is a prepaid card.
The accounts have no monthly or annual fees, overdraft fees, transfer fees, and required minimum balance. Cardholders can use over 55,000 fee-free ATMs nationwide, and T-Mobile will not charge ATM fees for out-of-network ATMs.
T-Mobile MONEY accounts are FDIC insured, thanks to a partnership with BankMobile. The debit cards are issued by Mastercard, and come with Mastercard’s Zero Liability Protection.
The company says, “T-Mobile MONEY is built to be mobile-first.” Users can “make mobile check deposits, set up direct deposit, pay bills, send a check, pay with a mobile wallet…transfer money, even make payments person to person” directly through their mobile checking app. T-Mobile does not have physical branches for MONEY accounts, but there is 24/7 customer service available.
Consumers do not have to be a T-Mobile customer to sign up for a MONEY account. Simply download the app from the App Store or Play Store, and register for an account on a phone. You must be 18 years or older to register. The service is currently available in all 50 states, and will come to Puerto Rico “later this year.”
