Cambridge Trust Company Review

Cambridge Trust Company Savings

0.01% APY

Founded in 1890, Cambridge Trust Company Bank has assets totaling $5.42 billion as well as $4.34 billion in deposits, which makes the institution a large bank. Cambridge Trust Company, whose headquarters are in Cambridge, Massachusetts, lacks premium access to support representatives, 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 offerings. With a score of 3.7 stars out of 5, Cambridge Trust Company should be near the middle of the pack in your search for a bank. 

Cambridge Trust Company provides customers with a complete suite of product offerings, including savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, brokerage accounts, mortgage products and credit cards. Cambridge Trust Company has a fair savings rate compared to the average savings account. The bank's standard checking account carries a $9.95 monthly fee, which may be better for customers that will always carry a large balance. Why use checking and savings accounts with the same bank? Convenient transferring between both accounts means you can still get higher interest rates in your savings account but still access your money from your checking.
