Bankrate staff insight
"Quorum is great for my purposes, which is having an easy-to-use high-yield savings account that offers a relatively high APY. The online portal is simple and straightforward. I especially like the budgeting feature, but it is more bare-bones than what my main bank, Chase, offers," a Bankrate staff member shared on their experience with Quorum. "This account would be most useful for people who want the customer service of a credit union, but don’t need all the bells and whistles that larger financial institutions might offer."

Account holders must maintain an average monthly balance of at least $100 to earn interest. A minimum balance of $5 is required to keep the account open. | |
