The best savings account for you depends on your savings goals. A First Citizens banker can help you choose which account is right for you based on your goals, how much you'd like to deposit and how you plan to use your account. Our personal savings accounts offer competitive interest rates and free Digital Banking, and some can even be used as overdraft protection for your First Citizens checking account. Whether you have $100 or $10,000 to save, we have an account that can help you reach your savings goals.
You can open a savings account digitally or by visiting a First Citizens branch. Online Savings and Money Market accounts can easily be opened on our website, and it only takes a few minutes to get started. Certificates of Deposit, or CDs, can only be opened by visiting a branch.

Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. Interest rates on savings accounts may change daily.
It depends on the type of savings account you open. For example, Online Savings and CDs don't have a monthly fee. Other accounts, like Money Market, have monthly fees which can be waived if certain conditions are met, such as maintaining a minimum daily balance. Withdrawal fees also vary by account type and conditions. For a complete list of First Citizens savings account fees, see our Personal Account Disclosures.
Savings accounts and CDs differ in several important ways. CDs have a fixed interest rate and mature after a specific term such as 3 months or 1 year, with penalties for early withdrawal. With a savings account, you can withdraw funds any time without penalty, but the interest rate can change daily. Learn more about the differences between CDs and savings accounts.
