Highlights

  • Current APY of 3.70%, unchanged from 30 days ago.
  • No minimum deposit or balance requirements.
  • No maintenance fees for the savings account.

Considerations

  • BBB rating is A, which is good but not the highest.
Summary: Citizens Access™ offers a competitive APY of 3.70% for its online-only savings account, with no minimum deposit or maintenance fees.
