Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- High APY
- No ATM fees
- Services
High APY
Everbank is not the traditional bank where the APY is next to nothing. They provide high APY for the first year and still keep it to .30% after the first year.
No ATM Fees
They also do not believe in ATM fees when consumer use other bank ATM's Everbank will refund you completely as long as you have $5,000 balance in account.
Services
They provided services with checking, CD, Money Market, FDIC insurance, Premium Visa, and Global deposits.
The Bad
- Rates drop
- Some fees
Rates Drop
Your savings account is your checking account which can be converted to an IRA account but no savings account. The APY that they advertise at the top of their web page 0.85%-1.01% is only available for the first year with Everbank and then after that the rates drop to 0.30%-0.61% depending on the balance of account.
Some Fees
There are still account fees with overdraft or wire transfers but no ATM fees if you have 5,000 in account which means if you want that benefit the opening deposit is 5,000. For the other accounts there are high deposits as well.
The Bottom Line
This is a unique bank that is not the traditional kind. It has progressive ideas that have the goal to help the client grow money in their bank. For loans there are still high interest rates like other companies because that is how banks earn money. Everbank is a good bank to invest in if consumer is focused on accessing ATMs anywhere and have money saved up to invest.
