Savings and Money Market Accounts
It's good to have friends in high places. At First Bank of Highland Park our rates don't get much higher, or friendlier, than the interest rate on our Friendly Savings Account. We also offer other savings account options, in which you can earn an excellent interest rate depending on your account balance. Our My First Savings Account can teach your children an early money lesson - they'll even receive a free piggy bank and personalized deposit and withdrawal slips. If you prefer a money market account then you'll be pleased to know that there are no secrets between friends, and our Friendly Money Market Account is the friendliest we know. No teaser rates with strings attached. Is your money market account this friendly? If not, give us a call.
