Question

1. The three main types of banks (Large Traditional, Credit Union, Online or Online-Only) have many tradeoffs with respect to technology, convenience, personal experience, fees and savings rates. For this question, put aside all of the trade-offs and look only at savings rate offered on savings accounts. Rank the following from highest to lowest on the interest rates they offer to consumers on savings accounts. A .Large Traditional Bank, Credit Union, Online Bank B. Credit Union, Large Traditional Bank, Online Bank C. Online Bank, Credit Union, Large Traditional Bank D. Credit Union, Online Bank, Large Traditional Bank

Answer 1

The answer is C.  Online Bank, Credit Union, Traditional Bank
But one thing we need to consider despite the amount of interest rates is the safety of our account. Even though it may indeed true that traditional bank has the lowest interest rate from the three, it possesses the best account security compared to the other three because the traditional bank tends to be backed by the Feds.
