Competitive interest rates, no hidden fees
Suncoast’s high yield accounts make saving accessible for everyone. When you open your account, you’ll get competitive rates to help you earn more without the high minimum balance requirements that other high yield account might have. No monthly fees, no gimmicks, no games. Just the savings that comes with our high interest rates.
No matter what you’re saving for, we’re here to make sure it’s rewarding.

Earn more with combined accounts
To open a high yield savings or high yield money market account, you’ll first need to open a Suncoast high yield checking account. That means you’ll be able to transfer funds to and from your high yield savings or money market, all while earning money on everyday transactions. It’s a built-in perk so you can manage your finances on your own terms.

Increased earnings without high balance requirements
A high interest earning account from Suncoast gets you a great rate, minus the hidden fees and high balance requirements.
Earn our maximum interest rate (APY) when you have a total of $2,000 in monthly deposits across your high yield checking and savings accounts. It’s simple!
