Idaho has one of the smallest sets of certified accounts in the country — 19 of them, against a national median of around 32, which places it #44 of the 51 states and territories we track. Only 2 of those come from an institution rooted in Idaho; the other 17 are national banks whose accounts appear on every state list. At 11% local against a 36% median, Idaho leans unusually hard on national providers.
12 of the 19 carry a $0 monthly maintenance fee; the 7 that do charge run from $3 to $12 a month. 11 can be opened with $0 on deposit, and the largest opening deposit asked anywhere on this list is $25. 18 run no overdraft program at all; the other 1 still cannot charge overdraft or NSF fees on the certified account itself and offer coverage only as a separate service you would have to opt into.
The state-based listings here come from Banner Bank and Zions Bank.
