Bank7 offers a variety of personal and business accounts. Checking, savings, and money market accounts are available for personal deposit or businesses. They offer business and personal CDs, credit cards, and lending options. These accounts can only be opened in a branch location.
Bank7 offers online personal deposit accounts. These include checking, savings, money market accounts, and CDs. The term length of CDs offered are 24-month and 36-month CDs. Only one online money market and savings account per person can be opened. Customers can open more than one CD and checking account.
The Bank7 online accounts offer competitive interest rates. Those rates are much higher than the Bank7 rates for in branch accounts. To earn the most competitive rate, you must have a set amount in the account. Those accounts range from $100 to $10,000, depending on the account.
Some Bank7 online and in branch accounts have low opening required amounts. The savings accounts and Bank7 checking account only require $100 to open. The Super7 checking requires $1,000. The 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month CD terms also require $1,000 to open.
All Bank7 in branch checking accounts have a $1 monthly fee. This fee is easy to waive. Electronic statements, a direct deposit, or keeping a set balance waives the fee. The online Bank7 accounts have a monthly fee of $15. Waive the online fees by receiving electronic statements and keeping a set balance. That amount is $100 for high rate online savings and $5,000 for the online MMA.
Some CDs and one checking account have a high opening required amount. The 24-month, 36-month, and 48-month CDs require $10,000 to open and earn interest. The Premier7 checking account also requires $10,000 to open. The online money market account requires $5,000 to open.
Specific interest rates for in-branch accounts are not listed on the Bank7 website. To get account rates, call a bank representative. The interest rates for the savings account are tiered. To earn the best interest on the accounts requires a set account balance.
The online accounts at Bank7 offer the most competitive interest rates. These online accounts are only for new customers to Bank7. You can open these accounts online. Everything for the account is online.
VirtualBank money market accounts have a low required opening deposit. The required amount is only $100. That opening deposit is for the eMoney Market and the Jumbo eMoney Market.
The interest rates on VirtualBank accounts are competitive with other online-only accounts. You only need one penny in the eMoney Market account to earn interest. To earn the highest interest on the Jumbo eMoney Market, you must keep at least $250,000 in the account. Anything over $0.01 earns interest, just not the highest rates.
The eMoney Market account offers a competitive introductory rate. New customers to VirtualBank receive a higher interest rate for the first year of the account being open. After the first year, the rate drops considerably. The lower rate is still much higher than your typical brick and mortar bank rates. Money already in a VirtualBank account does not qualify for the higher rate.
All VirtualBank accounts come with online and mobile banking. With online banking, you can see account balances, transfer funds, and receive e-Statements. Everything that can be done online can be done through mobile banking. You can also deposit checks through the app.
The eMoney Market and the Jumbo eMoney Market account have a monthly fee. The fee is $5. To waive the monthly fee, you must keep $100 in the account.
The Jumbo eMoney Market requires $250,000 to earn the highest interest rate. You still earn interest on any amount less than $250,000. To earn the highest amount, you must have that balance. This account only requires $100 to open. The eMoney Market account earns the same amount of interest not matter how much you have in the account.
VirtualBank CDs require $10,000 to open. The CDs range from a one-month term to a five-year term. There are 11 different CDs between those term lengths. The interest rates for each different term are competitive. The longer the term, the higher the interest rates.
VirtualBank does not offer checking accounts. They used to offer an eChecking account, but it no longer available. Because no checking accounts are offered, there are no ATM or debit cards. Bill pay is not available. You can have money directly deposited into VirtualBank money market accounts.
