KS StateBank Review

A variety of accounts are available through KS StateBank. They offer a variety of personal deposit accounts. Those accounts include checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, and CDs. KS StateBank offers regular CDs and jumbo CDs. The CD terms range from six months to seven years. They also offer business accounts.

Most KS StateBank accounts have low amounts required to open the accounts. The checking and savings account require $100 to open. The regular CDs require $500 to open. The Jump Up CD requires $1,000 to open, and the MMA requires $2,500. The jumbo CDs do require $100,000 to open.

The Checking Plus account and CDs offer competitive interest rates. The savings and money market accounts offer slightly lower rates. Those rates are still good rates for online accounts. These rates are competitive with other online-only accounts. The rates are much higher than typical brick and mortar bank rates.

KS StateBank accounts do not have monthly maintenance fees. The accounts do not have required account balances to avoid monthly fees. There is a fee for paper statements or if you make more withdrawals each month than allowed.

Not all KS StateBank accounts are available online. The online checking account is only for residents of Kansas, Missouri, and Arizona. The other online accounts include a savings account, money market account, and CDs. Those accounts are available for any citizens around the United States. Open other accounts by visiting a local branch location.

The KS StateBank money market account has tiered interest rates. To earn the most competitive rate requires a balance of $100,000. Amounts under $100,000 earn interest, just not the most competitive rate. This account requires $2,500 to open. There is no required amount to keep in the account; you earn lower rates depending on your balance.

The interest rates for KS StateBank jumbo CDs are the same as their regular CDs. They do not offer higher interest rates. The jumbo CDs require $100,000 to open. Jumbo CDs are only for consumer accounts. They must be opened online.

KS StateBank has a fee for electronic transfers made between banks. They do not charge a fee for money transferred from another bank into your KS StateBank account. However, there is a $3.99 fee for each transfer made from KS StateBank to another financial institution.

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.
