Kirkpatrick Bank's reported (or primary) website. http://www.kirkpatrickbank.com:80/

The primary regulator is Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Kirkpatrick Bank has 7 Domestic Branches (Offices) located in 2 state(s.)

I have had an account for about 5 months. It is okay, though not spectacular. They use CashEdge, and transfers take 3-4 days. The website is a bit basic, though functional. You can link to unlimited accounts, which is nice.

Note: the Savings Square account is now paying 5%, which is still a good deal these days.

Does any one have experience with this bank?


Seems like a decent deal. That said, I think CD's are a good way
to go at the moment because there's a good chance the Fed will cut
interest rates again (I predict they will keep rates steady at the
Oct 31 meeting, but cut rates in December). Such an action would likely
lower this 5.1 APY by December

I like that you got red for this. Hindsight is 20/20 huh.

Thanks

Any other folks with more experience with this bank? They seem to be one of the best deals out there right now?

According to a CSR, Savings Square does not charge for wire transfers, either in or out. This is quite unusual and is an excellent feature of this account.

Thanks for the info, blue. I was looking on their website and couldn't find any of this information about limits and what not listed so thank you for that.

So you can only transfer $2k daily and $5k monthly? So hypothetically if I had $20k to put into SS, I could put in $2k on day one, $2k on day two, and $1k on day three. And then have to wait for additional transfers until the next month, eventually getting all the $20k in over four months?

I emailed them and received the following on 1/30 about this matter:

Savings Square said:We do a "soft pull" to verify the information received on your application. Thank you.
