Try this:
https://www.dcu.org/DCU_aapd_application.pdf
This is an application for both a credit union account and the "American Association of People with Disabilities (aapd). It costs $8 one time to join AAPD, and becoming a member makes you eligible for credit union membership.
Once you've got that, you can apply for free home equity lines of credit, a visa card, cd's and the regular or limited money market account. The limited money market account is currently paying 2.4%, but it must be kept above $25,000...you can make one free withdrawal a month, as many deposits as you like. The regular money market is paying a sliding scale from 1% for $1000 to 1.85% for $100k and up.
The 11 month cd's pay 2.75% without direct deposit, 3% with with a $2500 minimum. You lose 30 days interest if you cash it out early. The 5 year jumbo cd's are paying 4.61% for 25,000+ amounts; you lose six months interest if you cash those out early.
With the free checking account and direct deposit, there are almost no fees for anything. You get free checks, free electronic bill payer service, free atm access at credit unions (and they'll pay you back up to $5 if a bank atm charges you a surcharge), etc. What drives me nuts about some banks I've seen is its $3 for this, $5 for that...none of that here. In fact, I think the only thing I've ever had to pay for is wire transfer fees.
