Dime Bank, whose headquarters are in Norwich, Connecticut, 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 Dime Bank a 4.1 stars out of 5, which means it is a respectable bank that deserves your consideration. Dime Bank offers a diverse array of product offerings, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards. Dime Bank has a fair savings rate compared to the average savings account. If you're interested in stress-free personal checking, Dime Bank offers an option without a monthly fee. Locating a checking account with no monthly fee, in addition to a savings account with a high interest rate at the same institution is your best option for returning the most income from your deposits alongside easy access to your funds.

Dime Bank does not have the best savings rate, which means you should consider other options for banks that deliver more return for your money. CDs can be a terrific option to achieve higher returns, but there are limitations to accessing your money. Dime Bank's CD rates are fair compared to other U.S. banks.
