0.10% APY

BCB Community Bank first started operating in 2000 and is headquartered in Bayonne, New Jersey. BCB Community Bank manages assets totaling $2 billion as well as deposits totaling $2 billion, which makes it a large bank. BCB Community Bank lacks premium access to customer service, with no live chat or all-day service options available. It is a traditional brick-and-mortar bank with access to service representatives at a physical location, in addition to its online and mobile apps. With a commendable 4.1 out of 5 stars, BCB Community Bank is a respectable bank that deserves your consideration. 

BCB Community Bank has a variety of product offerings, including savings accounts, checking accounts, CDs, IRAs and mortgage products. It has a fair savings rate; other popular banks have higher rates. If you're looking for a checking account for everyday use, the bank's most basic checking does not carry a monthly maintenance fee. Why have checking and savings accounts with one bank? Quick transferring between both accounts translates to better interest rates in your savings account with the ease of spending from your checking.
