Our Take on Presidential Bank
The Good
- Decent APY of 3.75%
- No monthly maintenance fees
- Highly rated mobile apps (iOS: 4.8, Android: 4.2)
- Access to physical branches
Considerations
- Requires opening a checking account (bundled)
- Advertised rate requires direct deposit setup
Presidential Bank offers the Advantage Savings account with an attractive APY of 3.75%. However, to earn this higher rate, you must set up a monthly direct deposit of $500 into an Advantage Checking Account, which is required to open this savings account. The Advantage Savings account has no monthly maintenance fees and is supported by highly rated mobile apps (iOS: 4.8, Android: 4.2), along with access to physical branches. Please note that this account is tiered, meaning the APY may vary based on certain conditions.

How to read these metrics▼
Trends & Velocity
- Trend
- The general direction of the rate over the analyzed period. Useful for spotting if a bank is currently aggressive or pulling back.
- Slope (bps/mo)
- Speed of change. A high positive number means they raise rates quickly. 10 bps = 0.10%.
- Rate Changes / Mo
- "Twitchiness." High frequency means the rate changes constantly; low frequency means it's stable.
Risk & Range
- High/Low
- The absolute ceiling and floor of the rate during the 365-day window.
- Volatility Score
- Lower is better for predictability. It indicates how wildly the rate swings relative to its average.
- Days Since Change
- If this number is high (e.g., >90), the rate is very sticky. If low, it changed recently.
Why track this? Understanding volatility helps you avoid "bait-and-switch" rates. A steady, rising slope is ideal; high volatility often signals a temporary teaser rate.
