I recently joined the blogger network for Go Banking Rates, and I wanted to share a sweepstakes they are having right now to name the best local bank, part of their “Best Cities to Bank in” series.

Nominate your local bank and you could win $1,000!

What are they looking for? Go Banking Rates wants to name the best local bank in the country, and they need your votes. Entry is easy and you could win $1,000 or an Apple iPad.

How to enter:

  1. Here is the official entry page.
  2. Once you fill out the entry form you will be entered into the sweepstakes for a chance to win the grand prize of $1,000.
  3. Invite friends for a chance to win an Apple iPad! The contestant who refers the Grand Prize Winner will win an Apple iPad! You can come back everyday to invite more friends.

The more friends you invite the greater your chances are of winning an Apple iPad. The sweepstakes begins on April 12, 2010 at 12 a.m. PST and ends on May 21, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. Here is a full list of Thank Your Bank Sweepstakes Rules.

GoBankingRates will then gather all bank nominations and award that bank with the Go Banking Rates Voter’s Choice Award for Best Bank.

Winners of the $1,000 and the Apple iPad will be determined by a random drawing which GBR will announce the winners on their site and their Facebook fan page on or around June 1, 2010.

Which bank would I vote for?

I’ve previously shared my personal choices for financial products and services and how we manage our money. I’m a big fan of online banks because they usually have higher interest rates and I enjoy the easy access to my funds. In fact, the only local bank I use is for my small business income, because I often need to deposit checks. So I guess I would vote for the bank where I have my business checking account.

For the majority of my banking and insurance I use USAA, but I also have an account with Discover Bank, which currently has the some of the highest interest rates in the US. .
