Overview

Transportation Alliance Bank (TAB) has roots in the trucking sector and it still offers an account made for truck drivers. But it also offers solid personal and business deposit accounts, including a rewards checking account and high-yield savings account, as well as commercial loans. You don’t need a minimum deposit to open most of the accounts.

Pros

  • Checkmark Icon

    Competitive APY.

  • Checkmark Icon

    No minimum opening deposit.

  • Checkmark Icon

    No monthly maintenance fees.

Cons

  • Can't deposit cash.

  • $30 outgoing wire fee.

The TAB Save account pays a competitive annual percentage yield (APY), which you can start earning with as little as one cent — and you'll keep earning the same great APY no matter how much you save in the account. There are no maintenance fees to hurt your earnings. Your options for accessing these funds are limited: You can transfer funds in and out or deposit checks via TAB's app. While this is a solid basic savings account, it lacks some of the conveniences you'll find at other online banks, like setting up automatic transfers or setting aside funds for specific goals.

Pros

  • Checkmark Icon

    Yields are highly competitive.

  • Checkmark Icon

    Reasonable early withdrawal penalty.

Cons

  • No terms shorter than one year.

  • No bump-up or no-penalty CDs.

TAB Bank's certificate of deposit (CD) yields are highly competitive across all terms, which range from one to five years. Those consistently high yields, plus the standard $1,000 minimum deposit requirement, might make TAB a good option for building a CD ladder. With such good rates, it's unfortunate TAB doesn't offer a wider array of terms or specialty options like bump-up or no-penalty CDs. (While TAB offers IRA CDs, they cannot be opened online.)  Early withdrawals incur a penalty of 90 days' of interest on terms of 12 months or less, or 180 days' worth on longer terms — on the lower end compared to competitors.

Cons

  • $5 paper statement fee.

  • Disappointing APY.

You can open a money market account at TAB Bank with a $25 deposit. This account has one advantage over TAB's HYSA: It comes with checkwriting privileges, though you'll have to pay for your own checks. But the trade-off is a significantly worse APY that's below the national average for this type of account. You'll find much better money market account rates at many of TAB's online bank competitors.

Cons

  • Cannot deposit cash or checks at ATMs.

TAB's checking account offers an industry-leading APY with no hoops to jump through. There's no monthly fee, minimum deposit to open the account or limit to the APY-earning balance. On top of that, account-holders earn 1% cash back on debit card purchases — an uncommon perk. TAB offers fee-free withdrawal access to Allpoint's 55,000-plus ATMs, but you cannot deposit cash or checks at these ATMs.

FNBO expects to accept applications again in early 2024, according to its website. Only $1 is needed to open the account, and there’s no monthly service fee. You’ll earn interest on all balances.

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).

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.
