Oklahoma sits in the middle of the national picture with 32 certified checking accounts — #26 of the 51 states and territories we track, against a median of 32. 16 of those come from institutions based in or focused on Oklahoma and 16 from national banks. At 50% locally supplied against a 36% median across states, Oklahoma is one of the markets where a certified account is most likely to come from a hometown bank or credit union.
22 of the 32 carry a $0 monthly maintenance fee; the 10 that do charge run from $2.50 to $20 a month. 21 can be opened with $0 on deposit, and the largest opening deposit asked anywhere on this list is $1,000. 29 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 16 state-based listings, the most come from AllNations Bank, American Bank of Oklahoma and Arvest Bank.
