POSTED ON BY

Deal Summary: Statement Savings Account, 0.60% APY on balances between $250 and $2 million.

Availability: Market area includes Herkimer, Madison, and Oneida Counties, New York.

Bank of Utica’s Statement Savings Account currently earns a competitive 0.60% APY on balances between $250 and $2 million. According to the Personal Rates page, if the available average balance is greater than $2 million, a 0.25% APY applies to the portion above $2 million. The minimum opening deposit is $100, but balances less than $250 do not earn any interest.

Rates as of September 22, 2023.

According to the rules for the fee-free Statement Savings Account listed in the Deposit Account Disclosure,

Unlimited deposits and withdrawals can be made at a teller window. If you have a Quickdraw debit card for use with your checking account, you can also use that card with your savings account. You may make up to six transfers per month which include preauthorized automatic, Internet or telephone transfers. If inadvertently more than 6 transfers are paid in any month, there will be a fee of $5 per item which will reduce your earnings.

The 0.60% APY has been in effect since July 2020. At that time, the highest rate offered on a nationally available savings account was 1.30% APY and a 0.60% APY wouldn’t merit a second look. Bank of Utica’s Statement Savings became more competitive each month as the majority of savings account rates fell in the past 14 months.

Long-Term CDs

The last time I wrote about Bank of Utica in 2018, the 5-year CD earned 4.00% APY and the 4-year Up To 5-year CD earned 3.50% APY. While those rates have dropped significantly, these two long-term CDs are offering competitive rates. Either CD can be opened with a $500 minimum deposit, with no stated balance cap.
