You know the standard checking plus savings account bundles most banks offer. Usually, when you apply for a checking account, the bank throws in a ‘free’ savings account too. This is an effort to get most of your assets to their bank and for them to gain your loyalty on other bank products too.

What about other banking bundles, though? Many banks offer unique product bundles that could save you more money than a savings account could.

Here are the top options.

INB Mortgage Account Bundle

If you have an INB checking account and mortgage, you’ll save some money on your closing costs and even get a bonus when you sign up.

Here are the details:

• Get a $200 closing cost credit on your INB mortgage
• Receive a $250 bonus if you set up automatic payment to your INB mortgage from your INB checking account, along with direct deposit of your paycheck
• Bonus: Sign up for Pocket Change and receive up to $100 in Pocket Change transfers (Pocket Change rounds up purchases made with your INB Visa debit card and transfers the spare change to your savings account)

First Republic Checking Account with Personal Line of Credit

If you’re in over your head in consumer debt or have high interest student loans, First Republic can help with a low interest personal line of credit.

To be eligible for the line of credit, you’ll need to open a First Republic ATM Rebate Checking Account. If you do, you can apply for a Personal Line of Credit account with interest rates of 2.25 – 3.50%, which are much lower than interest rates offered on any other financing.

You can use the loan to pay off any type of debt including student loans (make sure you’ve exhausted all federal help first because you’ll lose this option once you refinance). There are no loan fees and you can make interest-only payments for the first 2 years.

Pentucket Bank Relationship Banking

Open a Plus or Premier Checking Account at Pentucket Bank and keep a $500 average monthly balance and you’ll earn loan discounts.

• Plus customers – $250 off closing costs on a primary residence
• Premier customers – $500 off closing costs on a primary residence

Bottom Line

If you’re in the market for a checking account, get the most out of it! Most banks offer checking and savings accounts together, but you can get even more benefits for other financial relationships with a bank.

If you’ll need a loan in the future, whether a personal loan or mortgage, it’s worth looking into banks that offer relationship rates or special features for their deposit customers. Even if you save money on closing costs, it’s less money out of pocket when you buy a home or take out a loan.

The best situation is to save on your interest rate, but read the fine print. Most banks require automatic withdrawal from your checking account to the mortgage or loan to get the rate. If you’re comfortable with this, take advantage of the incredible savings!
