Best California Banks
People looking for the best California banks, or a bank from anywhere for that matter, will have different qualifications why a particular bank in California is best for them. Some are looking for the best banking rates, while others will be looking for financial products with great programs, good customer service, or a combination of other reasons.
Californians prefer to do their banking in community banks that they consider the best. 1st Enterprise Bank in Los Angeles, Asian Pacific National Bank in San Gabriel, Balboa Thrift and Loan Association in Chula Vista, Bank of Marin in Novato, or California United Bank in Encino are examples of some of the preferred financial institutions.
While many are looking to community banks for excellent customer care, there are some who are more interested in a financial institution’s rates regardless whether it comes from a community bank, a credit union, or a large national bank.
Those looking for a very good rate on CDs in California may want to take a look at Patelco Credit Union’s current special New Member 1 Year CD which requires $1000 minimum to earn the 5.00% APY. However, it renews to the rate being offered on a regular 1 year CD at the time of maturity. This rate is posted July 16, 2010 and is still current and effective July 22, 2010. You might also want to look at competitive CD rates from the USAA Federal Savings Bank and Discover Bank.
For the best saving rates in California, you might want to check out Cardinal Bank’s Kids Club Savings with a 2.51% APY, SFGI Direct’s Direct Savings with a 1.51% APY and Clear Sky Accounts’ Clear Sky Savings with a 1.40% APY.
For the best interest checking rates, check out Danversbank’s Free Rewards Checking with 4.01% APY, Advantage Bank’s Rewards Checking with 4.00% APY and Redneck Bank’s Redneck Rewards with 4.00% APY. AmericaNet Bank and ViewPoint Bank are also worth looking at.
The respective rates are current and effective as of July 22, 2010 and most of these banks have online banking available.
The best California banks are the ones who actually fulfill your needs and requirements as a banking customer.
