If you’re a senior, you may qualify for a senior checking account that comes with multiple advantages. Generally, you will have to be at least 50-60 years old to qualify, though different banks may have different eligibility criteria.
Some perks of senior checking may include:
- Good interest rates.
- Free checks and paper statements.
- No monthly maintenance fees.
- No or low minimum opening deposit.
- Waived or reimbursed out-of-network ATM fees.
Some banks with senior citizen checking accounts may also offer special protections, as seniors are often the targets of financial fraud.
Here are some of the best checking accounts for seniors according to experts:
