Central Bank (UT) Review

Central Bank (UT) Savings

0.15% APY

Central Bank was founded in 1891 with its headquarters in Provo, Utah. It owns $1.96 billion in assets along with deposits totaling $1.44 billion, ranking it as a medium-size bank. Central Bank lacks premium access to support representatives, with no live chat or all-day service options available. It is a conventional brick-and-mortar bank with in-person service, in addition to its online and mobile apps. We gave the bank a 4.3 stars out of 5, which means Central Bank is a great bank that you should seriously consider. 

Central Bank offers a diverse array of banking products, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards. 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 account does not carry a monthly fee. Using the same bank for checking and savings is perfect when you want to get the largest interest rates on your income while retaining access to your funds without getting penalized for taking out your money.

Service Quality

Central Bank is a brick-and-mortar bank, with 12 total bank locations in Utah. With mobile and web apps, Central Bank makes mobile banking convenient, even on the go.  

Central Bank's online and mobile banking platforms receive reasonably satisfactory feedback from customers: the Central Bank mobile app rates a 4.3 out of 5 (out of 1,200 customer reviews on Apple and Android) compared to the national average of 3.8. Central Bank's mobile app allows you to manage your funds by monitoring current statements, transferring funds as well as accessing customer service. Central Bank gets a superb consumer satisfaction score based on relatively few complaints registered with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a government-sponsored consumer protection agency. 

Products Offered

Central Bank has several deposit products including savings accounts, checking accounts and CDs, providing you with many options to manage your money. It does not have the best savings rate, which means you should think about looking elsewhere for banks that offer more return for your money. CDs can be a terrific option to achieve higher returns, but there are limitations to accessing your money. Central Bank's CD rates are competitive as compared against the national average.

Rates

With a savings rate of 0.15%, Central Bank ranks below the mean in comparison to the average U.S. bank. Central Bank's CDs feature a rate of 2.37% and 3.65% for the one-year and five-year term lengths, respectively, while its highest-yielding money market account earns at an APY of 3.82%. Given its noncompetitive savings rate, you should think about looking elsewhere to open savings accounts.

Fees

On average, Central Bank charges its customers extremely low fees in comparison to the average U.S. bank. Its checking account has no monthly fee, ranking it excellent for anyone looking for a hassle-free account.
