Highlights

  • Offers 4.51% APY with Axos ONE savings and checking bundle.
  • No maintenance fees on all accounts.
  • A+ BBB rating and accredited status.
  • High App Store rating of 4.7.

Considerations

  • Online only banking may not suit all users.
Summary: Axos Bank provides competitive savings options, particularly the Axos ONE account with a 4.51% APY, contingent on direct deposits and balance requirements. All accounts have no maintenance fees, and the bank holds an A+ BBB rating. However, the High Yield Savings account offers a much lower APY of 0.61%. Additionally, the lack of physical branches and online-only access may deter some savers.
