Why should I get an online bank account?

If you’re tired of traditional banks’ high fees and hidden costs, online accounts are a great alternative.

As an online bank, we have lower operating costs – so we don’t need to charge you for features that other banks call “perks.” This means little to no fees, higher interest rates, and a suite of digital tools that make money management simpler. And, because we’re backed by the FDIC, you can rest assured that your money is safe with us.

Why should I open a Golden checking account?

With a steady 0.10% APY on all balances, the Golden Checking Account takes into mind a lower spending volume. Just because you’re not spending as much, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t earn APY.

To open a Golden Checking Account, you need to be 55+ years of age. But who’s counting!
