PurePoint offers competitive interest rates. The rates for their savings account and CDs are high. Earn more money off your money with these accounts.

PurePoint savings account does not have monthly fees. There is no required amount to keep in the account. If you do not keep the $10,000 in the account, you will earn lower interest rates, but there is not a fee. The PurePoint savings account is free.

PurePoint CDs offer the Best Rate Commitment. This helps to ensure you earn the best interest rates for your CD. After the application is complete, you watch the interest rates for ten days. The best rate from that 10-day period is the rate you will receive for the term of the CD.

PurePoint is an online bank. There are no monthly fees. The interest rates are competitive with other online accounts. However, PurePoint offers the low fees and high rates and has some financial centers. PurePoint has over 20 financial centers in Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas.

PurePoint requires a large amount to open the account. The savings account and CDs requires $10,000 as the minimum deposit. If you do not have $10,000 in the savings account, you will not earn the high-interest rates offered. You will still earn interest on amounts under $10,000, but it will be a much lower rate.

The CDs and savings accounts require a large opening deposit. That deposit for CDs must be in a single transaction. Ten thousand dollars must be in the account to earn the competitive interest rates.

PurePoint only offers a savings account and CDs. The CDs offered vary in terms from six-months to five-years. They offer nine CD terms. PurePoint does not offer a checking account or a money market account. No business accounts are available.

You must link your PurePoint savings account to an external bank account. Since PurePoint does not offer a checking account, an external bank account is necessary. This allows you to transfer funds online into and out of your PurePoint savings account. You can also transfer money into the account by sending a check in the mail, a wire transfer, or a mobile deposit.
