An online savings account is designed to help you grow your money while managing it digitally. It typically offers a variable interest rate, which means the rate can change over time. Interest is compounded and credited to your account monthly. This means you earn interest not only on the money you deposit, but also on the interest you've already earned. Because this account is meant for saving rather than everyday spending, fees may apply if you make more than 10 withdrawals or debit transactions in a statement cycle. This fee may reduce the overall earnings on your account.

Interest is compounded and credited to your account monthly. It's calculated using the daily balance method, which applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. This means that the interest from your account is calculated every day on a 365 day year/366 day for leap years. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of noncash items (for example, checks).
We do not currently offer other online accounts. Full-service banking is available to those living in close proximity of our physical bank locations.
You'll need the following:
You must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. Citizen.
