Ally Bank, a DepositAccounts.com advertiser, is a Utah-based Internet bank that focuses primarily on offering consumer savings products, including savings, checking, money market, certificate of deposit (CD), and IRA accounts. The bank also provides credit cards and auto financing services and tools on its lending side and helps customers determine whether to lease or buy a vehicle.
Ally Bank’s online savings account regularly offers one of the highest interest rates in the country as far as savings accounts go. It comes with no monthly maintenance fees and no minimum deposit to open. Deposits and withdrawals can be performed through Ally’s fast online ACH transfer service, and up to six withdrawals per month are allowed without a fee. Customers can also write cashier’s checks out of the account for free.
Ally’s Interest checking account also offers a highly competitive compounding interest rate for balances of $15,000 or more. It comes with a free MasterCard debit card, free checks, unlimited check writing, and free ATM fee reimbursements from any ATM nationwide. This checking account has no minimum initial deposit and no monthly maintenance fees.
The Money Market account offered by Ally is very similar to its online savings account, but with the added flexibility of several checking account functions like a debit card, free checks, and ATM fee reimbursements. The Money Market’s interest rate is typically quite competitive, and no minimum deposit or monthly balance requirements makes it a very attractive hybrid account.
CDs and IRA CDs are also available and come in term lengths ranging from 3 months to 5 years. Ally features a Raise Your Rate CD that affords one bump-up allowance if there is a rate increase during the life of the CD. Its No Penalty usually offers a rate similar to the savings account, and DepositAccounts.com has discussed the strategies behind opening one or the other.
Ally Bank online banking provides a sophisticated and secure platform on which its deposit accounts are managed. Ally eCheck Deposit offers an easy way to deposit checks via a smartphone camera, computer scanner, or free paid-postage envelopes. Ally also makes it easy to transfer funds between Ally accounts or between Ally and non-Ally accounts for free, and that includes transfers associated with paying bills as well. Mobile banking apps make it easy and convenient to accomplish all of the aforementioned tasks while on the go. Ally Bank has no physical branches, and therefore offers free ATM fee reimbursements for all of its accounts.
Ally Bank was originally established as GMAC Automotive Bank in 2004. In 2008, the bank suffered significant losses as a result of the bankruptcy of automakers GM and Chrysler. The bank has grown stronger in recent years, having repaid over $6 billion of its government debt as of May of 2013. Ally is headquartered in Midvale, Utah and services over 1 million opened deposit accounts through its online banking platform.

Exceptional Online Bank
While chasing rates and moving money around, I have encountered some really annoying and inept financial institutions. Among those where I have made a speedy exit are Discover, Alliant, and Goldman Sacs. In sharp contrast is Ally Bank, where I have had favorable experiences with customer service, ACH transfers, website organization, and per-day withdraw limitations. I don't put up with lousy service, unfair limitations, or having to jump through hoops. You don't always know what will happen when you sign up for a new account but you can always vote with your feet. Being very pleased with Ally Bank, I plan on staying.
You Have To Search For The 14 Month CD
DepositAccounts lists a 14 month CD from Ally.
However, I found that I went to the Ally website it is not listed among the offered CDs.
One has to initiate the CD opening process and when you get to the point of selecting the Cd term you want, the 14 month Cd is listed there.
Ally Falling Behind
Ally Bank used to be at the forefront (#1) with their rates... that is not the case currently.

New Ally 15 Month CD At 2.80% Came Out Today
This is not high enough for me but I thought I would mention it.
I did not see it online yet. It may or may not be there, I was on the phone with a rep for something else and she mentioned it.
Its kind of a yawner because they already have a 12 month for 2.75% (that one is tired and the 2.75% is only for $25k+)

Ally Bank CD Rates
Ally Bank's certificates of deposit have three variations. The first is the traditional type of CD with a fixed interest rate until maturity. Terms from 3 months to 5 years are available. The second type is a no-penalty CD. You are allowed a penalty-free early withdrawal any time during the term after 6 days from when the CD is funded. The third type is a bump-up CD called Raise Your Rate CD. It's a fixed rate CD that gives you the option to raise the rate one time during the term to the current CD rate for that same term. All CDs have no minimum balance requirement, although interest rates may vary depending on the amount deposited. The early withdrawal penalties for each of the CDs are shown in the detailed tables below for each product. The grace period at maturity when you can close the CD without penalty is 10 days after the maturity date. With Ally's Ten Day Best Rate Guarantee, when you fund your CD within ten days of opening or when your Ally CD renews, you automatically get the best rate Ally offers during those ten days.
