Good Enough
Things I like about this account:
ATM refunds. These are butter. Three ATM transactions at other banks’ ATMs reimbursed per month.
No minimum or monthly fee.
Things I don’t:
No regular (paper) checks. Annoying.
At the end of the day, a pretty good account (interest rates are pretty good for a checking-type account). If you’re going to get HSBC’s savings account, then it makes sense to make this your checking account. If you aren’t interested in their savings stuff, there’s probably another standalone checking account out there that will be a little better (ING? EverBank?).
