Fidelity Bank Review

Overview

Founded in 1974, Fidelity Bank has $5 billion in assets as well as $4 billion in deposits, classifying it as a large bank. Fidelity Bank, whose headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia, lacks premium access to support representatives, with no options for live chat or all-day service. 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. Overall, Fidelity Bank is a great choice and should warrant serious consideration, with a rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars from the SmartAsset experts. Fidelity Bank has the complete slate of product offerings, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards. It has a fair savings rate; other popular banks have higher rates. If you're interested in stress-free personal checking, Fidelity Bank's standard checking account does not have a monthly fee. Obtaining 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 bet for gaining the most income on your deposits while having easy access to your money.
