The Best Bank for You, 2018
On the lookout for a better bank? Maybe you should be. Fees on deposit accounts keep rising. And even though the Federal Reserve is on a mission to push up short-term interest rates, many banks (especially larger brick-and-mortar institutions) are dragging their feet when it comes to raising yields on savings and other accounts.
Luckily, we found banks and credit unions that still aim to do right by their customers. For the second year, Kiplinger is presenting its list of the best U.S. banks and credit unions. To choose our winners and runners-up, we enlisted the help of Informa Research Services, which provided data on deposit accounts from several dozen institutions.
We concentrated mostly pile up, keeping an eye on your and other pieces of your personal profile has become more important than ever. So we incorporated free identity-theft monitoring services for customers into our rankings.
