Comerica Bank is a well-established regional bank with a presence in five states. The Dallas-based bank operates more than 400 locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Texas.
Personal banking products include checking, savings and money market accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), and debit and credit cards. Comerica Bank’s deposit accounts are backed by Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and can be accessed online or in person at a branch.
Comerica offers four checking accounts. Access Checking requires a $50 minimum opening deposit and has a $13 monthly maintenance fee, which can be waived by maintaining a $1,000 daily balance.
Interest-earning checking accounts include Rich Rewards Checking, Premier Checking and Comerica Platinum Circle Checking. The Platinum Circle account has the highest annual percentage yield (APY), but the rate is still relatively low: 0.10% for balances of $50,000 or more and 0.05% for less than $50,000.
A better bet may be the High Yield Money Market Investment Account if you have at least $50,000. Balances of $500,000 or more earn 1.4% APY; $100,000 to $499,999 earn 1.0% APY; and $50,000 to $99,999 earn 0.25% APY. The account includes checks — write up to six free per statement cycle — and an ATM card.
With a Comerica Statement Savings Account, you must make a $50 minimum opening deposit and pay a monthly maintenance fee unless you qualify for a waiver. The bank provides six free monthly withdrawals and charges a $5 fee per withdrawal thereafter.
Comerica also offers fixed- and flexible-rate CDs. Fixed-rate CDs are available for terms of less than one year and one to 10 years, with APYs spanning from 0.03% to 0.20%. You must have a minimum opening deposit of $1,000 to open a CD.

In early January 2024, in good-faith, opened, an account at this banking institution. Deposited $3500.00. $3K in a check and $500.00 in cash; no hold! ?? FAST FORWARD! Deposited another $3K in a check and $500.00 in cash; not at the branch where the account was opened; another. A hold was placed on the check and cash for 9-business-days; EXCESSIVE in 2024. NOTE: yes. The account is new; however, I contacted the local Credit Union where the funds were drawn from, and was informed, the check cleared; within 72 hrs.. I waited an additional 2-business-days and implored the Branch Manager to release the hold; REQUEST DENIED! ??
This bank requires its Depositors to, on-a-daily-basis, maintain a minimum of $1K in order to not be charged their absorbent fees of $14.00/month. RIDICULOUS! ?? I acquiesced to the high-fees under the impression that I would receive 1st Rate service; ha! ???? The jokes on me! It is the 9th-day and funds are still not released. ComErica is most certainly using my funds to pay their bills and prop up its stock. Yes. At my expense; DESPICABLE! ??
In just under five (5) weeks, I'm closing the account as soon as funds are released!
Good-riddance.
I do NOT recommend this bank; NOT at all! PLEASE do your research; thoroughly! Invest time in due-diligence; business with any bank or credit union that handles your hard-earned monie is serious business! You have been forewarned??
Both my child support and my son's ssi go into accounts by this company. I have been charged atm fees from co america at my moneypass atm consistently and it never says that it will on the atm screen. And, after winding my way through their ridiculous labyrinth of customer service menu, they never have an answer. Its been since last summer and they have yet to reemburse me. Now, I'm being charged nsf fees, which they didn't do before. The joke of an app says there's a bug so I can't use that. You get charged fees for calling customer service as well. My solution to this incompetance and outright thievery is to remove my money from this bank and get direct deposit into my local bank. I remember being told I would never be charged a fee on my child support account as long as I used atms in Illinois. Untrue. I hope you get replaced by a better bank asap.
This bank will violate the law by freezing exempt funds even way over and above an illegal judgment in violation of both federal and state statutes. They will be your credit card lawyers best friend! Do NOT trust these people with your money especially if you’re a disabled senior.
The online banking is not reliable. I check my balance daily because this has happened so many times.
Login, look at account page. At the top it says pending transaction ARE reflected in balance. But this does not include overdraft fees. So basically you don't KNOW you need to move money into the account. So off you go thinking you are in the black, using your debit card, but then fees post and ANOTHER round of overdraft fees is added in.
They will not link to another Comerica account for overdraft protection, they only offer a credit card with Comerica and that has already settled a class action suit.
