New National Online Bank Rates Trend Above the National Average

August 8, 2018

OKLAHOMA CITY – Vio Bank (viobank.com) is a new national online bank that offers some of the best rates on certificates of deposit and savings accounts in the nation. Vio Bank was designed for individuals seeking great rates, the convenience of opening an account online and superior customer service.

What differentiates Vio Bank is that it is backed by MidFirst Bank, one of the largest and strongest privately-owned banks in the nation. This flexibility and strength allows Vio Bank to instantly focus on customer needs and to implement its unique approach to customer service. Vio Bank customers will receive the same quality service that earned MidFirst Bank the highest score in the nation in the 2018 J.D. Power Retail Banking Satisfaction Study.

"Vio Bank's approach is simple. We focus on offering some of the best rates in the nation on CD and savings accounts, paired with a commitment to exceptional customer service," said Derek Caswell, marketing director for Vio Bank. "Equally important is that as a division of MidFirst Bank, Vio Bank customers' deposits are FDIC insured and backed by one of the strongest banks in the nation."

Vio Bank provides customers the opportunity to easily maximize earnings on their savings, whether for everyday savings or for longer term goals such as retirement. Through the Vio Bank online platform, customers can transfer funds between accounts and banks, setup an automatic savings plan, and view their account balances at their convenience.

The experts at Vio Bank understand that savings planning is highly individualized; however a few general guidelines regarding CDs and savings accounts follow:

• Opt for a savings account if there is a need to access money in the near future.
• A CD is a good option if the money isn't needed immediately and a guaranteed interest rate is appealing.
• One way to balance access to funds and maximize the return on investment is to open multiple CD accounts with varying term lengths, also known as CD laddering. A CD ladder strategy provides for the maturing of CD investments across time, while earning a higher rate of return on the funds that aren't needed immediately.
