Explore State Farm Bank’s suite of accounts

State Farm Bank offers online-only personal banking options through U.S. Bank with minimal monthly and ATM fees, and no minimum deposit amounts. But it lacks advanced banking options and in-person banking.

What banking products does State Farm Bank offer?

As of October 10, 2020, State Farm no longer offers its own deposit accounts. All existing State Farm checking, savings, money market and CD accounts have been converted to U.S. Bank. However, it still has these products:

• Home loans. State Farm has an emerging partnership with Quicken Loans that offers competitive rates and a variety of home loans.
• Auto loans. Vehicle loans as low as 3.39% on new vehicles and 3.89% on older vehicles.
• Credit cards. Credit card options through Visa include rewards, basic, student and business cards.

How does State Farm compare to other banks or services?

State Farm Bank holds approximately $16 billion in assets, which places it outside the top 50 largest banks in the US. State Farm is a relatively small bank but it’s the largest property and casualty insurance company in the US.

It has no branch locations, but its insurance offices can accept applications and do limited banking.

Checking accounts

Pros

• Low opening deposits. Open most checking accounts with as little as $25.
• ATM refunds. You’ll get one ATM reimbursement each month with the Easy Checking account or unlimited reimbursements with the Platinum Checking package.
• Two account options. Open a basic checking account or an interest-bearing account if you want to earn interest on your account balance.

Cons

• Low APYs. The U.S. Bank Platinum Checking account only earns 0.01% interest — that’s one penny a year for every $100 you save.
• Monthly fees. The interest-bearing checking account has a $24 monthly fee that requires you to have at least $25,000 in combined U.S. Bank deposits to avoid.

Savings accounts

Pros

• Free ATM card. Most savings and money market accounts come with a free ATM card for fast cash withdrawals.
• Overdraft protection. Link your U.S. Bank checking and savings account together for free overdraft protection.

Cons

• Low rates. The most you’ll earn is 0.05% APY with the money market account. The best accounts earn much more than this.
• Monthly fees. Every U.S. Bank savings account has a monthly fee, but they can be waived when you keep your account balance above a certain threshold.

CDs

Pros

• Low minimum deposit. Its $500 deposit is quite low considering some banks have minimums as high as $10,000.
• Personal and business options. Customers can open a personal or business CD and lock in the same rates for each.

Cons

• Low APYs. Its CDs aren’t nearly as competitive as other banks with rates topping out at 0.25% for a five-year term.
• Early withdrawal penalties. Expect to pay a fee equal to 90 to 545 days interest if you need to withdraw your money early.

Overall banking

Pros

• ATM rebates. It offers ATM rebates on all of its checking and savings accounts giving you easier access to your money.
• Daily customer service. Chat with a customer service representative by phone 24/7.

Cons

• Limited product selection. While its basic savings and checking options keep banking simple, it also means that it lacks high-yield accounts with more competitive interest rates.
