What is a Savings Account? 

A savings account is a type of financial account found at both banks and credit unions. Savings accounts are a good option for achieving your money-saving goals. You'll want to choose a savings account that offers a competitive annual percentage yield (APY) on your money. It can pay to choose one that either doesn't have a monthly service fee or has a minimum balance requirement that you can meet to waive the fee.
