Savings Account FAQ

What types of savings accounts does BayFirst offer?

We offer a variety of savings accounts including standard savings accounts, high-yield savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs).

What are the differences between Savings Accounts, Money Markets, and Certificates of Deposit (CDs)?
  • Savings Accounts: A standard savings account offers a safe place to store money while earning interest. It’s ideal for short-term savings and emergency funds, providing easy access to your funds with no fixed term.
  • Money Market Accounts: A money market account typically offers higher interest rates compared to traditional savings accounts, in exchange for higher balance requirements. It allows easy access to your funds, similar to a checking account, with options to use checks or a debit card.
  • Certificates of Deposit (CDs): CDs offer the highest interest rates among our savings products but require you to lock in your money for a predetermined period, ranging from a few months to several years. Early withdrawal penalties apply, making CDs suitable for long-term savings goals where immediate access to funds is not necessary.
How do BayFirst savings account interest rates compare to other big banks?

Our interest rates are highly competitive and often higher than those offered by other banks. We regularly review and adjust our rates to ensure you get the best return on your savings.

Are there fees associated with BayFirst savings accounts?

We strive to keep fees to a minimum. While some accounts may have maintenance fees, these can often be waived by maintaining a minimum balance or meeting other criteria. We also offer accounts with no monthly fees. See the specfic product pages for more details on the fees associated with the account.

Can I open multiple savings accounts?

Yes, you can open multiple savings accounts to meet different financial goals. For example, you might use a standard savings account for emergency funds and a high-yield account for longer-term savings.

Are your savings accounts FDIC insured?

Yes, all our savings accounts are FDIC insured up to the maximum allowable limit of $250,000, providing you with peace of mind knowing your money is safe.
