EverBank Overview

In 2023, TIAA Bank was sold to private investors and renamed EverBank. The bank started operating under a new national charter, but customers were able to continue banking at the institution without any significant impact on their accounts.

Here’s an overview of the personal bank accounts available at EverBank.

EverBank Checking Accounts

EverBank offers two checking accounts: EverBank Basic Checking and EverBank Performance Checking. Both accounts must be opened over the phone or in a financial center.

 EverBank Basic Checking

The EverBank Checking account is a simple everyday checking account with no monthly fee and a low minimum deposit requirement of $25. The account offers reimbursements for ATM fees charged by other banks, the amount of which depends on your minimum daily balance. EverBank itself does not charge any ATM fees.

  • Balances under $5,000: $15/month in ATM fee reimbursements
  • Balances over $5,000: Unlimited ATM fee reimbursements

 EverBank Performance Checking

EverBank also offers an interest-bearing checking account that earns 0.25%

APY on all balance tiers. The account has no monthly fee but requires a higher opening deposit of $100.

Like the basic EverBank Checking account, accounts with balances of $5,000 or more receive unlimited out-of-network ATM fee reimbursements. Accounts with balances below $5,000 are reimbursed up to $15 per month.


EverBank Savings Accounts

You have one savings option at EverBank, a high-yield savings account with a generous rate for new customers.

EverBank Performance℠ Savings

New EverBank Performance Savings account holders earn 4.05% APY—a highly competitive rate when compared to the best high-yield savings accounts—with no monthly maintenance fee to offset any interest you earn. The account also has no minimum deposit requirement, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced savers.

Unlike EverBank’s checking accounts, the Performance Savings account can be opened online.


EverBank Money Market Accounts

The bank’s sole money market product is another high-yield account, though its interest rate is slightly lower than what you get with Performance Savings.

EverBank Performance Money Market

EverBank’s Performance Money Market account earns a competitive rate of 4.00%

APY, but this rate applies only to balances of $10,000 and higher. Balances under $10,000 earn a less impressive 2.02% APY.

The account has no monthly fee or minimum opening deposit. As with most MMAs, this account comes with check-writing privileges and a debit card that can be used to make fee-free withdrawals at over 80,000 ATMs.

EverBank offers unlimited out-of-network ATM fee reimbursements for accounts with balances of at least $5,000, and up to $15 a month in reimbursements for accounts with balances under $5,000.

EverBank Performance Money Market accounts can only be opened at a financial center.


EverBank Certificates of Deposit

In addition to its high-yield CDs, EverBank also offers one bump-rate CD and another type of CD designed for larger sums.

EverBank Performance CDs

EverBank’s Performance CDs require a minimum deposit of $1,000 and are available in terms ranging from three months to five years. EverBank CD rates are competitive, running from 3.40% to 4.00% APY. Accounts can be opened online.

CDs automatically renew at maturity, unless instructed otherwise. After maturity, you will have a 10-business-day grace period to add or withdraw funds, change your CD term or close your CD without penalty.

How EverBank Stacks Up

EverBank vs. Axos Bank

If scoring the highest APY possible is your top priority, Axos Bank is worth considering. Like EverBank, Axos Bank offers a solid lineup of bank accounts with no monthly fees. While both banks offer competitive yields, rates on the Axos ONE checking and savings accounts are higher than those available at EverBank— 0.51% APY on checking balances and 4.51% APY on savings balances. However, you will need to meet certain criteria to earn these elevated rates.

EverBank vs. Wells Fargo Bank

If you’re looking for a full-service bank with a strong physical presence, Wells Fargo Bank may be a good fit. It has over 5,600 branch locations and a network of 11,000 ATMs. Like most large, national banks, however, rates are much lower than what’s offered by online banks. But if you’re willing to sacrifice higher rates for the opportunity to bank in person, it could be a good fit for you.
