Nevada sits in the middle of the national picture with 24 certified checking accounts — #37 of the 51 states and territories we track, against a median of 32. Only 3 of those come from an institution rooted in Nevada; the other 21 are national banks whose accounts appear on every state list. At 13% local against a 36% median, Nevada leans unusually hard on national providers.
15 of the 24 carry a $0 monthly maintenance fee; the 9 that do charge run from $3 to $12 a month. 16 can be opened with $0 on deposit, and the largest opening deposit asked anywhere on this list is $25. 23 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 Create Credit Union, Nevada State Bank and Pacific Premier Bank.
