## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which business checking accounts earn interest?
Bluevine Business Checking, Ramp Business Checking Account, Karat Business Checking, Grasshopper Small Business Checking, and Highbeam Business Deposit Account pay interest directly on the checking account balance, based on Bancadia's data.

### Which business checking account has the highest APY?
Bluevine Business Checking has the highest published APY among interest-bearing business checking accounts in this comparison, up to 3.00%.

### Does business checking pay interest directly, or does the yield sit in a separate linked savings account?
Bancadia's data model records whether the checking account itself is marked interest-bearing, and this comparison reflects only that. It does not currently track whether a product instead pays yield through a separate linked savings sub-account, so a "No" or "N/A" here does not rule out a linked-savings option offered alongside the checking account.
