With a score of 3.9 out of 5 stars, Kentucky Bank should be near the middle of the pack in your search for a bank. Kentucky Bank provides customers with a complete array of banking products, including savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, IRAs, brokerage accounts, mortgage products and credit cards. Kentucky Bank has a fair savings rate; other popular banks have higher rates. The bank's standard checking account features a $4.00 monthly fee, although banks sometimes have requirements that allow you to waive the fee.
