Some may find close to that in a Credit Union Money Market Account which limit 6 withdrawals a month, of which only 3 of them can be a check.
Alliant Credit Union offers high-yield checking at 1.75% with no limits on withdrawals (it's a real, full-featured checking account). They also offer a high-yield savings at 2.0%, with the usual 6-withdrawal limit. All available online, including check deposit.
Perhaps not what the OP is looking for, but I wanted to counter the quoted assertion.
