Our Verdict
There is one other bank, Customers Bank, who also offers a similar rate of 2.25% with a guarantee through June 20; though that bank requires a minimum of $25k while Patriot Bank only requires $100. We’ve added this to our Best Savings Rate post.
With rates fluctuating all the time, a lot of people find these guarantees worthwhile. Others prefer just going with a bank who has a track record of offering competitive rates, even if it means losing a bit in the short term.
