Kansas sits in the middle of the national picture with 39 certified checking accounts — #17 of the 51 states and territories we track, against a median of 32. 14 come from local or regional institutions and 25 from national banks — a 36% local share, close to the 36% median across the states we track.
22 of the 39 carry a $0 monthly maintenance fee; the 17 that do charge run from $3 to $20 a month. 23 can be opened with $0 on deposit, and the largest opening deposit asked anywhere on this list is $1,000. 36 run no overdraft program at all; the other 3 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.
Of the 14 state-based listings, the most come from Academy Bank, Arvest Bank and BOK Financial.
