A regional institution, Texas Capital offers competitive APYs on their CDs and high-yield savings accounts, though its interest-bearing checking account is a tad lackluster.

Texas Capital Bank savings overview

Texas Capital Bank’s Star Savings account doesn’t have a minimum opening balance requirement or a monthly fee, but you must have a Texas residential address in order to open the account. It offers a solid yield on all balances, though you can find higher yields elsewhere. Interest is compounded daily.

The bank also offers another account, called the Star High-Yield Savings account, for which you don’t need a Texas residential address to open. It also doesn’t require a minimum opening balance and doesn’t come with a monthly fee. As its name suggests, customers who open this account will earn a very high yield on all balances. Only Texas residents can deposit more than $1 million into the savings account, at which point the APY you earn is slashed by more than half.

Pros

  • Checkmark

    There’s no minimum deposit to open either savings account at Texas Capital Bank.

  • Checkmark

    The high-yield account offers a very high rate.

  • Checkmark

    You don’t need a Texas residential address to open a Star High-Yield Savings account.

Cons

  • There are banks that pay much higher APYs on base savings accounts.

  • Only customers with a Texas residential address can open the Star Savings account.

  • See how rates for this account have changed over time. Interact with the trend lines to view APY by date.

About Texas Capital Bank

Texas Capital Bank is an FDIC-insured commercial bank that offers personal banking products, including checking and savings accounts, CDs, money market accounts, credit cards and personal loans. It is headquartered in Dallas, with branches in Austin, Fort Worth, Plano, Dallas Richardson, Houston and San Antonio.

Texas Capital Bank has one online-only banking division: Bask Bank, which offers a savings account that earns American Airlines miles instead of interest.

Customer experience

Customer service. Customer support by phone is 24/7. You can also email the bank. 

Digital experience. The bank has a mobile app that is highly rated among iOS and Android device users, but it's important to note that neither app has been reviewed by a significantly large number of users. Person-to-person payments can be made using Zelle. You can use your Texas Capital Bank-issued debit card at ATMs in the Pulse, Cirrus, Accel and Allpoint networks, but to avoid a service fee, use a Texas Capital Bank or Allpoint network ATM. The debit card works with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Review methodology

With so many financial institutions to choose from, it can be hard to know who to trust. Bankrate’s ever-growing list of bank and credit union reviews is updated regularly. Our editorial team analyzes and reviews each institution across deposit products such as savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs) and money market accounts (MMAs). Banks are rated by important factors such as offered interest rates, fees, minimum balance requirements, access to funds and more.

We assign a score to each type of account and its features, weigh them carefully based on importance to account holders and determine an overall score. Read our full review methodology.
