Our Take

Apple Bank may be a good bank to do business with for its savings accounts and CDs. It offers one of the best APYs on its Youth Savings account and on some of its CD accounts. It offers a wide selection of checking and savings accounts for all purposes, some of which offer competitive APYs and some of which are free to open and maintain. As Apple Bank operates mostly in New York and has a small presence in New Jersey, it may be a good option for residents of those states who like to bank in person.
