High-Interest Savings Accounts in South Carolina Why should I settle for a regular savings account when I can take advantage of a high-interest savings account? If I’m going to store my money away, I may as well get the highest interest on it that I can. While the above statement is true, it’s important to understand the difference between a traditional savings account and a high-interest savings account. In South Carolina for example, First Bank offers a Money Market account with interest rates that are higher than the basic savings account options offered. However, there are some further requirements for high-interest savings accounts as a trade-off for the better interest. Money Market Account vs. Basic Savings Account Let’s break down some of the differences of a high-interest money market savings account when compared to First Bank’s most basic savings account so you can be sure you’re selecting the savings account that is right for you. Initial Deposit Basic account: Only a $50 minimum deposit is required to open the account. Money Market: You’ll need an initial deposit of $1,000 to open. How to Avoid Monthly Maintenance Fees* Basic account: You can avoid First Bank’s monthly maintenance fees just by keeping a $300 minimum daily balance. Money Market: In order to steer clear of monthly maintenance fees, you’ll need a $2,500 minimum balance or an average collected balance of $5,000 or more. ATM Withdrawals** Basic account: Enjoy two free withdrawals per month within the approved network. Money Market: You have the luxury of 6 free monthly withdrawals within the approved network. High-Interest Savings Accounts in South Carolina There are 6 First Bank locations in South Carolina offering high-interest savings accounts and basic savings accounts alike. And there are many similarities between the two as well. Each offer such amenities as online and mobile banking, monthly electronic statements, account activity alerts, mobile check deposit and more. Use our account comparison chart to see the two savings accounts side-by-side and visit your nearest South Carolina First Bank to open the one that’s right for you. *Account holders may avoid the Monthly Maintenance Fee by meeting any of the requirements listed in the Keep if Fee Free™ section of the account summary table for their account type.

Image for tile. Lock It Up: Protect Your Login Info These days an increasing number of people are online creating accounts for shopping, streaming services, or to stay connected with other people. Of course, with all those accounts on various websites, who wants to create a different username and password every time? Well, it turns out the extra effort is worth it. Having different logins for your online shopping or subscription accounts can reduce your risk of fraud. Here’s why: if you use the same username and password across multiple sites and one of them is compromised, access to the other sites is automatically at risk. Fraudsters will then use the stolen credentials on those other sites to see if they can gain access and attempt various forms of fraud or other data mining activity. Please note: First Bank has several protective measures in place to ensure that your information is secure and that your account is safe from this type of fraud. But your other online accounts may not be so well guarded. Here are some tips to help you make each of your log-ins stronger and more secure: Use different login information. Not surprisingly, this is the best thing you can do to keep fraudsters out of your retail or subscription accounts. This means you will need to resist using your favorite username or password over and over again because it is the easiest to remember. Create strong/unique usernames and passwords. When using different usernames and passwords, use information that is not easily identifiable, but something you can remember. The more complex, the less likely it is to be guessed. One more tip: use numbers, capital letters, and special characters throughout your username or password, not just at the beginning or end. Enable two-factor/multi-factor authentication where available. By enabling this feature, a user is provided a second form of identification to verify a log in attempt. Think of it as a second layer of protection against potential attackers. This can be as simple as receiving a code via text or email, or clicking a link to confirm a log in from an unfamiliar device. Keep second factor information confidential. Never give out your second factor code to anyone – even if they say they are from a favorite 3 min read
11 Easy Tips for Saving Money Saving money is important if you want to be prepared for future financial surprises or hardships and establish peace of mind. But sometimes, finding extra funds to set aside is a challenge. These simple money saving tips can show you new ways to save and fill your savings account up in no time. 11 Great Money Saving Tips 1. Switch your bank account. If your current bank account charges you fees, you might consider switching to a bank that offers you ways to keep your account hassle free. First Bank* offers five different checking account options. 2. Save loose change. Save money by storing loose change in a jar. Once the jar is full, you can cash in the change at your bank and deposit the money into a savings account. 3. Create a budget. By creating a budget, you’ll be able to see where you can cut back your expenses and save money each month.  4. Making a shopping list and stick to it. Instead of going to the store without a plan, try creating a shopping list and not straying from it. This way you won’t be tempted to buy things you don’t absolutely need. 5. Avoid dining out. Dining out is expensive. You can save a ton of money each month by simply eating at home. And if you have to eat out for an event or because you’re running low on time, you won’t feel guilty spending the money because you’ve been saving all month. 6. Cancel cable. As great as television is, cable is an unnecessary expense. If you’re really looking for ways to save money, consider canceling your cable subscription. 7. Make coffee at home. The average American worker spends about $14.40 on coffee per week. By making coffee at home, you could save around $1,100 annually. 8. Cancel unused memberships. Have a gym membership you never use? What about a subscription to a magazine you never read? Look at all of your recurring membership fees and cancel the ones that you’re not using on a regular basis. 9. Shop generic. Often, generic items are just as good as their name brand counterparts. Choosing the generic brand when grocery shopping can save you tons of money on your bill. And to save even more money, don’t forget to sign up 3 min read
