Comerica Bank Product Offerings
Savings Accounts
A savings account is a deposit account at a bank or credit union that insures your principal up to the FDIC or NCUA limitations and generally pays a modest interest rate. Comerica Bank personal and business customers have access to a limited number of savings account options. Here are the two accounts available:
Checking Accounts
Comerica Bank currently offers several personal and business checking accounts with little to no opening balance requirements, and relatively low monthly service charges. The accounts offered are excellent for day-to-day use but unfortunately, offer very low yields.
Money Market Accounts.
A money market account is a hybrid between a savings account and a checking account. It is an interest-bearing account that offers a debit card and check-writing privileges. The drawback is that, much like savings accounts, there are usually withdrawal limits imposed. Here are some of the best money market accounts offered by Comerica Bank:

Our Take
Comerica Bank is a good regional bank for people living in Texas, Michigan, Arizona, Florida, and California. It offers a fair amount of branches, currently at a bit more than 400 branches. It offers highly competitive rates on some of its short-term CDs and one of its money market accounts, although the money market account requires a relatively high account balance. All in all, the bank is okay, but there are larger national banks that offer a higher number of branches in the same states with similar product offerings.
