State Farm Bank Review

State Farm Bank reimburses for fees charged at non-State Farm Bank ATMs. Fees are reimbursed if you have a direct deposit into the account you are withdrawing money from. If you do not have a direct deposit into that account, State Farm Bank will reimburse up to $10 each month in ATM fees.

A variety of different accounts are available through State Farm Bank. They offer a regular checking account and an interest-earning checking account. Savings and money market accounts are available. Accounts for minors, education, and retirement accounts are offered. CD terms range from 12-months to 5-years.

Most State Farm personal deposit accounts have low opening amounts. The saving account requires $100 to open. The regular checking account only requires $25. To open the interest checking account requires $100. Each of the different CDs requires $500 to open.

The State Farm Bank money market account offers a competitive interest rate. That account offers interest that is competitive with other online accounts. After the introductory period, met the qualifications to earn the competitive rate.

State Farm Bank accounts have a monthly fee and required balances to keep in the accounts. The fees range from $3 to $10 each month. The amounts required to keep in the accounts ranges from $100 to $500 for personal accounts. Having an electronic direct deposit into the account each month will waive the monthly fees.

The State Farm Bank money market earns competitive interest, but it has the highest required balances. To open this account requires $1,000. Waive the fee for this account by having a direct deposit into the account and keeping a $500 balance.

The most competitive rate is only an introductory rate for the money market account. You will receive the introductory rate for the first five billing cycles. After that time, if you have another State Farm qualifying account, you will earn the Relationship Rates which are lower, but still competitive.

State Farm Bank limits how much money you can withdraw from an ATM each day. The limit for State Farm Bank personal deposit accounts is $500 per day. There is also a limit to how much you can make in purchases each day. The purchase limit for debit cards is $3,500 per business day.

IncredibleBank Review

IncredibleBank accounts do not have monthly fees. The checking and savings accounts are completely free accounts. The CDs do not have a monthly fee. The only fees are from withdrawing your money before the CD reaches maturity.

The interest rates on the IncredibleBank saving account and CDs are high. They are competitive with other online-only accounts. The interest rates are much higher than your typical brick and mortar interest rates. Even the interest rates offered for lower balances in the accounts are competitive.

IncredibleBank offers a money market account specifically for businesses. This account comes with free online banking, mobile banking, and bill pay. To open the account requires $2,500. If your balance falls below $2,500, a fee of $10 will be charged. There is a $5 monthly fee if you do not sign up for electronic statements. This account earns a competitive interest rate for money market accounts for businesses.

With an IncredibleBank checking account, you will be reimbursed for domestic ATM fees. ATMs through the MoneyPass network are free. If you use an ATM not part of that network, IncredibleBank will reimburse you the fee you are charged. This does not apply to international ATM fees.

The required amounts to open IncredibleBank accounts are high. The opening required amount for checking accounts are $500. To open a savings account with IncredibleBank requires $2,500 to open. All the different CD terms require $1,000 to open.

IncredibleBank has a limited amount of accounts available. There is only one checking account and one savings account to choose. IncredibleBank offers CDs, but only three different term lengths. Those terms are a 12-month, 24-month, and a 36-month term.

To earn the highest interest rates, IncredibleBank requires a large balance. The savings account requires $25,000 to earn the highest rate offered. Balances below that amount still earn competitive interest rates. The lower rates are higher than your typical brick and mortar bank rates.

The IncredibleBank checking account does not earn interest. To open the account requires $500. The account does not have monthly fees or a required amount, but you do not earn interest on the account. Only the savings account and CDs through IncredibleBank earn interest.
