Premier Bank Review

Overview

Premier Bank started in 1974 with its headquarters in Maplewood, Minnesota. It owns $724 million in assets along with $649 million in deposits, ranking it as a medium-size bank. Premier Bank lacks premium access to support representatives, with no live chat or all-day service options available. It is a traditional brick-and-mortar bank with in-person service, in addition to its online and mobile offerings. At a SmartAsset rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars, Premier Bank should be solidly in contention for your choice of bank. Premier Bank offers a full suite 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; you can find higher rates with other banks. If you're looking for a checking account for everyday use, Premier Bank's standard checking does not have a monthly charge. Institutions that offer no-fee checking as well as a high interest rate savings account are your best bet for accruing the highest income from your deposits alongside easy access to your funds.
