American Eagle Bank Review

American Eagle CDs can earn higher interest rates if you earn the relationship bonus. To receive this bonus, you must have $5,000 in a qualifying checking, savings, or money market account. With this bonus, you earn around 0.15% more interest on the money in your CD.

American Eagle offers a Golden Eagle checking account for senior citizens. To qualify for the senior account, you must be over 55 years of age. This account offers unlimited check writing, no monthly fees, and a higher interest rate than their other checking accounts.

The Eagle Saver Kids Klub only requires $1 to open. Kids must be under 17 and have a parent or guardian co-signer. For every deposit made, kids earn ‘Wooden Nickels.’ Kids use those nickels to get prizes.

The American Eagle Platinum NOW checking account is for government and nonprofits. It only requires $100 to open. There is no monthly fee with at least $500 in the account. This account offers unlimited check writing, an ATM or debit card with no fees, and earns interest.

In the name of security, the American Eagle debit card may not work in all areas. Those areas include New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, or Canada. If you travel to these areas, you must call the bank in advance to make sure your debit card will work.

CDs require $1,000 to open and earn interest. The CD terms vary in length from six to sixty months. Special add-on CDs let you make unlimited deposits of at least $1 or more.

The business checking account limits transactions each month. You must not exceed 500 debit and credit transactions per month. There is a fee if you do.

Not all American Eagle accounts are available to everyone. You cannot apply online for an account. You must call a local branch to get information and apply for an account. Some products are only available to current customers and those living in certain areas.

My eBanc Review

Every My eBanc account offers competitive interest rates. The rates are much higher than typical brick and mortar bank rates. The accounts are personal deposit checking and money market account and CDs. My eBanc offers regular CDs, jumbo, and one fixed rate CD.

The account interest rates at My eBanc are not tiered. There is not a required balance to earn the most competitive interest rate. Any amount in the account earns the competitive interest rate. However, the money market and checking account do have a monthly fee if the balance falls under $5,000.

My eBanc accounts are entirely online. Everything for your account is done through the website or mobile app. Make deposits through electronic transfers or by mailing in a check. There is only one branch location in Florida.

The My eBanc money market accounts and checking accounts allow you to write checks and have a debit card. The money market account only allows for six withdrawals each month. The checking account has unlimited check writing options with no charge. Your first 50 checks are free.

The minimum deposit required to open My eBanc accounts is high. The checking, money market, and regular CDs all require $5,000 to open. The jumbo CDs require $100,000. The Flex Time Deposit CD requires $10,000 to open.

The money market and checking account have a monthly fee. The fee for both accounts is $15 monthly. Waive both of those fees if you keep an average daily balance of more than $5,000. You still earn interest on amounts under $5,000, but your earnings will be cut into by the fee.

There are limited accounts offered through My eBanc. Only personal deposit accounts are available. My eBanc offers one checking account and one money market account. There are five different term lengths of CDs. Those same terms are available in jumbo CDs. One fixed rate CD is offered.

My eBanc does not offer any business accounts. Only personal deposit accounts are available. Personal deposit checking and money market accounts and some CDs are offered.
