Fidelity Bank Review

Overview

Fidelity Bank started in 1974 with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. It manages $5 billion in assets and $4 billion in deposits, classifying it as a large bank. Fidelity 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. 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 team. Fidelity Bank provides customers with a complete suite of banking products, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards. Fidelity Bank has a fair savings rate; other popular banks have higher rates. If you're looking for a checking account for everyday use, Fidelity Bank's standard checking account does not have a monthly fee. Finding a checking account with no monthly fee, in addition to a savings account with a high APY at the same institution is your best option for gaining the most income on your deposits while having convenient access to your money.

Products Offered

Fidelity Bank offers several deposit products including savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts and CDs to give you many options to manage your money. Fidelity Bank does not have the best savings rate, which means you should think about taking a look elsewhere 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. Fidelity Bank's CD rates are fair compared to other U.S. banks.
