| Bask Bank’s Interest Savings Account earns a highly competitive APY, with no minimum balance requirement or monthly fees. The bank also offers a Mileage Savings Account, which allows you to earn American Airlines miles as rewards, based on your monthly balance. | Citizens Bank offers three savings accounts. The base account, scored for this section, is the One Deposit Savings account, which can be opened without a deposit, though you can avoid the $4.99 monthly maintenance fee by making one deposit every month. For customers under age 25 or 65 and older, the account is free of a monthly fee. The One Deposit Savings account offers a rock-bottom APY; you can easily find higher yields elsewhere. Those looking for higher rates may wish to consider an online bank, like Citizens Access, the online-only division of Citizens Bank.

Dive into community reviews below and see what others think about Bask Bank.
In July 2024, Bankrate collaborated with a third-party vendor to survey 1,200 bank account holders nationwide. Bankrate and our vendor collected and summarized account holder responses to five rating questions on a 5-point scale as well as open-ended reviews of the banking experience. Responses are based on individual account holder product details, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Reviewers received an incentive for their feedback. Their ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by the associated bank or credit union, nor do these responses reflect Bankrate's own expert review of these banking products.
