Tangerine Bank
Choose the bank that's right for you.

A bank’s interest rates are a pretty big deal. But they’re not the only part of banking that you need to think about.

Jeannie decided to open a bank account a few years ago, because she was always losing money while she was climbing — it fell out of her pockets, wild mountain monkeys took it, or she spent it on silly mountain souvenirs.

At first, she wanted a bank with a couple of branches, or offices, nearby so she could make deposits and withdrawals in person. But then she realized that it would be even easier if she could open an online account with Tangerine bank. With an online account she can check her balance and manage her money from any cave, mountain, or slope with Internet access.

Tangerine Bank offered Jeannie two types of accounts to help her meet her savings goals:

• Savings accounts. You can add or withdraw money from your savings account. And the bank will pay you interest on your balance.
• Certificates of deposit. You can’t touch the money you put into a certificate of deposit, or CD until the term you agree to is up. A term can last from 6 months to 5 years. But during that time your account will earn interest, and have a chance to grow faster since you can’t spend it.

Let’s take a look at how Jeannie manages her accounts.
