First Savings Bank started in 1938 and has its headquarters in Clarksville, Indiana. First Savings Bank handles assets totaling $2.39 billion and $1.72 billion in deposits, classifying it as a medium-size bank. First Savings Bank has above-average customer service access with all-day support available, great for getting help during the work week. It is a traditional brick-and-mortar bank with in-person service, in addition to its online and mobile apps. Coming in at an average 4 out of 5 stars, First Savings Bank proves it is a respectable bank that deserves your consideration. 

First Savings Bank offers a complete array of product offerings, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, mortgage products and credit cards. First Savings Bank has a fair savings rate; other popular banks have higher rates. The bank's standard checking product carries a monthly fee of $5.00, which is not too bad compared to other U.S. banks. Why use checking and savings accounts with the same bank? Fast transferring of funds between the two accounts means you can still get better interest rates in your savings account but still have access to your funds from your checking.

Products Offered

First Savings Bank has several deposit products like savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts and CDs, providing you with many options to manage your money. It does not have the best savings rate, which means you should consider other options 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. First Savings Bank's CD rates are fair compared to the national average.

Rates

Given First Savings Bank's noncompetitive savings rate, you should think about opting for higher earning savings accounts with other banks.
