The benefits of having a FirstBank savings account: discover which one is best for you

A savings account is an essential financial tool for securing your future and reaching your personal goals. At FirstBank, we offer a variety of savings accounts designed to meet your various needs. Having a savings account not only gives you financial security, it’s also key to keeping your finances organized, and reaching your short, medium and long-term goals. Here are some benefits and reasons why you should have a savings account: 

Savings Account Benefits

1. Security and Financial Protection

At FirstBank, we offer you the security of knowing your money is protected at a trusted institution. Our savings accounts are FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insured, which means your money will be protected up to a certain limit in case of an eventuality. This is critical for protecting your finances in times of economic uncertainty. For more details, go to:

2. Savings Interest

At FirstBank, we offer you the opportunity to earn interest on the money you deposit in your savings account. Over time, your savings will grow in a secure manner, allowing you to increase your capital without any major efforts.  

3. Flexibility and Immediate Access

Our savings accounts offer flexibility and give you immediate access to your funds. That means you can make withdrawals in case of an emergency, or whenever you need money for a particular situation. With our online banking, you can also manage your account easily and quickly from anywhere. In addition, you can initiate transfers from other FirstBank accounts to your savings account using our online banking service as well. In fact, you can even schedule transfers or initiate them whenever you wish. 

Reasons to Have a Savings Account

1. Emergency Funds

3. Savings Accounts for Children and Adolescents

At FirstBank, we also offer options for you to teach your kids how to save. Our FirstOne savings account is designed for children under age 13, and helps them develop good savings habits while saving for their studies or their future. In addition, we have the FirstTeen account, which is ideal for adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20.
