If you’ve ever landed on a bank website, clicked around, and thought, “Okay… but which account am I actually supposed to pick?” Then you're in the right place.

Kasasa accounts can be especially confusing at first glance. There’s Kasasa Cash. Kasasa Cash Back. Kasasa Saver. And then combinations of those. It’s a lot.

So let’s slow it down and walk through it together. This guide is designed to help you figure out which Kasasa account fits your everyday life, whether you’re a saver, a spender, or a little bit of both.

And if you still have questions at the end? That’s where Ergo Bank comes in with real people, real advice, and no pressure.

What Is Kasasa, Exactly?

Kasasa is a rewards-based checking and savings program offered by community banks like Ergo Bank. The idea is simple:

You get rewarded for everyday banking you’re probably already doing.

Depending on the account you choose, those rewards can look like:

  • High interest on your checking balance
  • Cash back on debit card purchases
  • Automatic transfers into a high-interest savings account
  • ATM withdrawal fee refunds

The key difference? Kasasa accounts reward activity, not just balances. And Ergo Bank offers Kasasa with the added benefit of local service and support, not a call center.

Breaking Down Kasasa Accounts, One by One

Kasasa Cash

Best for: People who keep more money in checking and want it to grow.

Kasasa Cash is a checking account that earns high interest when monthly requirements are met. It’s ideal if you:

  • Keep a steady balance in your checking account
  • Want interest without locking money into a CD
  • Prefer a simple “set it and earn” approach

Good fit if: You like seeing your balance grow month after month.

Kasasa Cash Back

Best for: People who use their debit card often.

Kasasa Cash Back rewards you for everyday spending by earning cash back on debit card purchases. This works especially well for:

  • Grocery shopping
  • Gas
  • Dining out
  • Everyday errands

Instead of earning interest, you earn money back — just for spending the way you already do.

Good fit if: You swipe your debit card regularly and want rewards you can actually use.

Kasasa Saver

Best for: People who want savings to grow automatically.

Kasasa Saver is a companion savings account that works alongside Kasasa Cash or Kasasa Cash Back. When you qualify for rewards:

  • Your rewards are automatically transferred into savings
  • Your savings earn high interest
  • You build savings without thinking about it

Good fit if: You want to grow an emergency fund or savings account without extra effort.

What Are the Monthly Requirements?

Kasasa rewards are earned by meeting a few simple monthly activities:

  • Use your debit card at least 12 times
  • Be enrolled in eStatements
  • Have at least one ACH transaction (like direct deposit)

Most people already meet these without trying. And if you miss a month? No penalties — you just don’t earn rewards that cycle.

How uChoose Rewards® Fits In

On top of Kasasa rewards, Ergo Bank debit cards also earn uChoose Rewards points.

That means:

  • You earn points every time you use your debit card
  • Points can be redeemed for gift cards, merchandise, travel, or statement credits
  • Kasasa Cash Back with uChoose Rewards® = double the benefit

Tip: If you’re a frequent debit card user, Kasasa Cash Back plus uChoose Rewards is a powerful combo.
